7. One Word....Shopping!
A/n: HELLO EVERYBODY!!
Disclaimer: I do not own!
KOS-MOS POV
I was so happy that I could go shopping! I knew I was going to have to surprise Shion with my choice on clothes and I was not going to let anyone tell me otherwise what I was going to get. My clothes would be something I picked out. No one else. Except for maybe chaos of course.
"Kos-mos, time to get up...I'm finished." I opened my eyes the next morning, to see Shion smiling down at me. "Your change is complete." I felt the cold of the metal on my back. I was surprised at the feel of it. I guess Shion had installed nerves in me as well. Or made the ones I had better.
"Is she ok?" Allen asked, behind her. His eyes were closed and he was facing away from me.
"I think so...KOS-MOS? Are you alright?" Shion was looking only at my face and I started to wonder what I was wearing. I didn't remember if I ever had any clothes under my armor, but I wasn't sure.
"I'm fine, Shion." My voice had a gentle tone and her eyes widened.
"KOS-MOS?"
"Shion, I am fine."
"Ok, KOS-MOS. I'm going to let you borrow some clothes before we buy your own." Shion said, handing me a large blanket. I wrapped it around me and watched as she pushed Allen out of the room.
"I'll be back in a second, okay?"
I nodded and watched her leave. The change in me was amazing. I could feel the cold; I could feel the softness of the blanket. I pinched myself and giggled when I felt the pain. It was a really dull pain, but it excited me. The last time I was pinched I hadn't even noticed it. I was extremely happy and the android wasn't control me for the time being. I sighed though, because I knew she and I would have to fight soon.
"Remove yourself from our mind at once." The android said, inside our mind. I sighed again; I knew she would do that.
"How about we make a compromise?" I said, making our mind go to the church once again. I sat on the bottom step and watched as she leaned against a tree about 15 feet from me.
"What is your proposal, human?"
"How about you let me control us on the outside, just for today. We need clothes and I want to surprise Shion by actually picking out something we like, instead of letting her pick for us. I promise I won't try anything, I just want us to look good."
"And you'll stay away from chaos?"
"If that's what you want, yes. But if he comes to me, I have no control over it. And I won't stay away from him entirely either. I want to know what he thinks looks good on us. Other than that, I won't touch him unless he touches me first."
"What about you?"
"What about me? I'll be on the surface, but I won't do or say anything to bother you. All you have to do is sit and watch what's going on. You don't even have to lift a finger."
"Affirmative. Human, you have your deal."
"Thank you, KOS-MOS." I said, smiling at her. She walked away, not saying a word. When I opened my eyes, chaos was standing in front of me, staring at my face. I blinked, wondering how he had gotten into the room.
"I was wondering when you'd realize I was here. You and the android going at it again?" He said, smiling softly at me. He pulled a corner of the blanket back up on my shoulder, touching my bare skin in the process.
"No, actually we were making a compromise." I answered, blushing brightly at the touch.
"A compromise?"
"Yep. I convinced her to let me control the outside, just for today. Tomorrow, we'll go back to our usual fighting and bickering." I pulled the blanket tighter around me and made sure nothing was peeking out.
"Kos-mos, let me see." chaos grinned at me and I blushed brighter.
"L-let you see....Let you see what?" I knew what he was talking about, but I was not going to let him know that, now was I?
"You." The one word made my face heat up quickly and I pulled the blanket tighter around me, thinking he'd leave me alone.
"Kos-mos..." Guess I was wrong. I sighed and untucked my ankle, turning it so he could see the entire thing.
"That's all you get, chaos. No more." I said, rolling my eyes.
He laughed, "I didn't want to see anything more. I just wanted to know what your skin looked like cause the next time I see it, it'll be dark. But I'll get to touch it then too..." He finished his sentence with a seductive glint in his eyes and I giggled.
"I'm gonna go now. I'll see you later, right?" chaos asked, kissing me softly.
"Yup!" I grinned and he nodded leaving the room. When he left I laid back down in my "bed", blushing brightly and sighing loudly. I was happy beyond relief and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.
"KOS-MOS? You alright?" Shion called from the other side of the door. It opened slowly and she stepped in with two hangers and a pair of shoes in her hand.
"I'm fine, Shion. Thank you." I knew I had slipped, but for some reason, I didn't think Shion would mind much. Shion looked startled, but after a few seconds she smiled wider.
"Your very welcome, KOS-MOS." She put the shoes down next to my "bed". They were long black boots and I liked them as soon as I saw them. Shion had black stockings in her hands and she handed them to me. Then she unzipped one of the boots and pulled out some under clothes.
"Your going to put these on first," Shion said, handing me the under clothes, "Then the stockings, the skirt and the shirt, and finally the boots." The skirt was blue jean and it was medium length. The shirt that Shion had given me was black as well, but it was just a regular T-shirt.
"Ok." I smiled at her, making another gasp come from her and then walked into the bathroom down the hall. I put the clothes on in the order Shion had instructed and hoped it was right.
When I came out of the bathroom Shion had a huge smile on her face,"KOS-MOS that looks wonderful on you! Although I didn't know your chest was bigger than mine." She giggled and I laughed softly with her. I knew I was slipping up big time, but I didn't seem to care. And neither did Shion.
"KOS-MOS, what changed? What's making you act so....so human?"
I winked at her, "I'll explain that to you after we're done shopping today."
"Ok. But I want you to know I'm glad you're acting so much more human! It makes me very happy to see you like this." Shion smiled widely and walked out of the room, humming softly as she went.
"I'm going to take a nap, so if you need me I'll be in my room!" Shion yelled to me over her shoulder.
Two Hours Later
"We'll be reaching the docking port of colony 91289 in about thirty minutes." Came the captain's voice over the intercom. I smiled and turned over to wake up chaos. He had been sleeping so quietly when I had walked in his room about an hour ago, so I had decided to just lie next to him and wake him up when the time came for him to get up. Jr. had come in about thirty minutes ago and had been very surprised to see me, but after awhile he didn't seem to mind and had gone to sleep as well.
"How long have you been in here, Kos-mos?" MOMO asked, walking in through the door. She smiled at me and went over to Jr.'s bed, where she sat down softly and watched the ruby red head sleep.
"About an hour. I was going to wake him up, but I decided not to. Is that why you here?"
"Uh-huh. I was gonna wake Jr. up, but since we have thirty minutes left, I'll wake him up in twenty minutes. Until then I can watch him." MOMO gave a quiet giggle, blushing brightly at what she was doing.
"How many times have you done this?" I asked her talking as quietly as I could.
"Alot. Jr. doesn't know it, of course, but I just love watching him sleep."
"When are you going to tell him, MOMO?"
"Tell him what?"
"That you love him."
MOMO blushed and looked down at Jr.'s sleeping face, "I don't know when I'll tell him, Kos-mos. Everytime I think I have the courage to tell him, I think about wither he'll reject me or not and then I'm afraid."
"Then don't think."
"What?"
"Don't think about anything, but that love you feel for him. Don't think of wither or not he'll reject you; don't think about what your going to say or how your gonna say it. Just do it. Tell him how you feel and if he doesn't like it, oh well. Try again another time. He'll come to love you, if he doesn't already. But I know he does. I can see it in his eyes everytime he looks at you, MOMO." I smiled at the surprised look on her face. I guess she didn't expect something like that out of me. Heck, I didn't even know I would say that.
"You know what, KOS-MOS? Your right. I'm gonna take you advice." MOMO smiled at me and I smiled back.
"I'm very glad." I stroked chaos' hair softly with my hand, reveling in the feeling of his silver hair. It was soft and smooth and silky and everything I thought it would be. I knew I had just fallen in love with chaos hair as well as the rest of him. He gave a sigh in his sleep and moved closer to me, his hand falling to rest on my leg closest to him. I began to doubt if chaos was really asleep then, because I don't really think anyone does stuff like that in their sleep. But, hey, I didn't know anything about what people did when they slept so he really could still be asleep.
"Twenty minutes till we dock." The captain sounded bored out of his mind over the intercom, but I was about to burst from excitement.
"Time to wake these two lazy boys up." MOMO said, grinning at me. She leaned really close to Jr.'s ear and then took a deep breath. "JR!!" She yelled in his ear, giggling as he jumped up.
"WHAT THE HELL?! MOMO, WHY DID YOU-?," Jr. cried, looking like he was about to pee on himself or kill someone," Oh, hi MOMO." Jr. said, with a bright blush as he realized who it was that had woken him up.
"Good afternoon, Rubedo." MOMO said, with a grin. Jr. rolled his eyes and sighed; MOMO knew he hated that name.
"Good afternoon, MOMO. What's going on?" Jr. yanked the girl from over him and hugged her tightly. Then after several minutes he let her go, smirking at her bright blush.
"N-nothing. We're landing at the colony in twenty minutes." MOMO said, watching Jr. stretch and get out of his bed. He went to a drawer and pulled out a dark red shirt and then went a closet and got some blue jeans. MOMO walked with him to the bathroom door, wondering what he was doing, exactly.
"Ok, I'll see you in ten." Then he pecked her on the lips, smirking. When he pulled away and saw her blush, his smirk got larger and he shut the door. We heard the shower come on and then I turned to see MOMO standing at the door for about two minutes before walking slowly out of the room. I grinned and turned to chaos....who was still sleeping. I groaned and rolled my eyes. What kind of sleeper was chaos exactly?
"chaos, get up. It's time to get ready to go." I said, loudly, hoping he would wake up by that.
"..." Obviously, it hadn't worked.
"Hmmmmmmm.........." I sat on the bed wondering what to do when an idea came to me. Grinning at my wonderful plan, I leaned over chaos and kissed him fully and as hard as I could. I knew that would wake him up if nothing else did. I grinned when his arms came around my waist.
"Hey." chaos said, opening his eyes and smiling at me with a lazy grin.
"Hi! It's time for you to get up! We're about to land at the colony!"
"Your excited." chaos said, sitting up. He ran a hand through his hair and yawned.
"Uh-huh! I've never been shopping before!" I smiled, and then lowered my voice, "chaos, I'm going to tell Shion."
"I knew you would. We really can't do much without her help."
"I agree. Plus I think she likes me!"
"She likes the android half, so she has to like you." chaos said, yawning again. I got off his bed and knew he noticed my new outfit. "Kos-mos, you look really cute."
"Only cute?"
"No, cute and beautiful. Although it's a little tight at the top, don't you think?" chaos smirked at my red blush and then laughed at the glare I gave him.
"Quit looking at my chest!"
"Can't help it."
"...Whatever." I said, still glaring at him. He grinned and got up also, then came and put his arms around me.
"Kos-mos, I love you."
"I know. I love you too. But you still need to quit looking at my chest!" I said, pulling away from him giggling.
"Can't help it!" He said, poking me at the rise of my chest and laughing. I glared at him and then burst into laughter.
"Oh whatever. Go get ready so we can leave." I said, walking out of their room.
Twenty Minutes Later
"Let's go!" MOMO cried, walking out the door first. I followed behind her with chaos and Jr. behind us. chaos had on some khaki cargo pants and a dark blue T-shirt. Shion and Allen were behind them and Ziggy was behind them. The crew decided they weren't gonna come, but they gave us their sizes in case we found something that would look good for them.
"Ok, why don't we all just stay together? I'm sure the boys won't mind going into women's clothing stores, and I'm sure we won't mind going into men's clothing stores; although I'm afraid you boys don't look like shoppers." Shion said, smiling brightly. She knew that Jr. and chaos would be a couple of things, but she doubted Ziggy would.
"That's cool with me." Jr. said, nodding.
"Ok." chaos replied, looking at the street filled with shops. On the street over were more shops and the street next to that, even more. The colony was truly a shopping place.
"Wow! Look at all the stores! I wanna go to all of them!!" MOMO said, starting toward the closest store. It had white writing on the window and it obviously had clothes for both genders. I followed behind her and everyone else followed suite.
"Hi! Can I help you with anything?" A brown haired woman asked. She had on a baby blue shirt with a very short white skirt. I lifted an eyebrow in Shion's direction and she giggled quietly.
"No, thank you." MOMO said, walking away. She went to a rack full of dresses and started to go through them. She had on an ankle length blue jean skirt and a ruby red shirt with orange writing. Her boots were like mine with flatter heels.
"I like this one and this one...and ooohh!! I like this one too!" She had hangers draped across her arm and then she went to a rack with pants.
"I guess we should start looking too KOS-MOS. Come on." I nodded and followed her to a rack with shirts. I looked at them all and decided I would get some of everything. I watched MOMO and then did what she did. I took all the shirts I like off the rack and then went to the pants and started putting them together. Shion grinned at me and did what I did and before we knew it we had a bunch of clothes in our hands.
"Now, we need to go try all of these on." Shion said, and she asked the woman that had welcomed us for dressing rooms.
"We'll you can only have six items at once, so just put the rest her on this rack and you can change them out as you go." She said, opening up three rooms for us. MOMO gave a squeal as soon as she had her first outfit on.
"Come out and look!" She cried, turning in front of the three mirrors around her. They were lined up in a corner and showed her what she looked like from all sides. I came out of my dressing room with one of my outfits on and smiled at MOMO.
"I like it. It looks very pretty on you." I said, watching her turn and look at herself somemore. The outfit was black pants with an orange shirt. The pants were flares and had some orange writing up one leg. The shirt was sleeveless with ties up the middle. (The ties are only there for decoration, nasty people!)
"I think you look very cute." Shion told her from behind me. She had tried on a dark blue dress that went to her knees. It had a round neckline and it was sleeveless as well. It had slits on the sides.
"I think you dress is beautiful, Shion!" MOMO said, moving away from the mirror. Then she looked at me,"Kos-mos, that looks really really good on you." I had decided to try on a pair of silver flares and a white sleeveless shirt. My shirt was like MOMO's with silver ties up the middle.
"I think so too." Shion added, smiling at me. I walked up to the mirror and looked at myself, surprised at my reflection. That was the first time I had ever looked in a mirror. I was surprised by what I saw.
"I like it." chaos told us, walking over to where we were. He watched me from where he was standing next to Shion with a big grin on his face. I blushed and went back into my dressing room.
"Oh my, that looks very nice on you!" The saleswoman said, smiling widely at me.
Twenty minutes later
"Ok, I'm tired of being here!" Jr. cried, walking toward the door. MOMO was still trying to try on more clothes, but decided against it. We all walked out with two large bags in our hands.
"Wow. You really know how to shop, KOS-MOS. I'm surprised." Shion said, handing her two bags to Allen, who carried them willingly.
"Why?"
"Because this is your first time shopping and yet your really good at it."
"Oh. Well I'm not a learning android for any reason, right?"
"Kos-mos, you're not a learning android. I am." MOMO said, laughing. Shion nodded and burst into laughter. I smiled at them both, laughing as well.
"Oppsy. I forgot." I laughed as we walked into another store. There were shoes all over the place and Shion gave a cry of delight.
"I love shoes!" She said, walked away from us almost immediately, going down an isle of tennis shoes. I went towards the boots and high heels with MOMO walking behind me.
"Allen, I feel really sorry for you." I heard Ziggy say when I walked away from them. chaos and Jr. burst into laughter at his comment, feeling the exact same way. Then they all went off to look around together.
"Kos-mos, I think these would look nice." MOMO handed a box of black boots to me. When I tried them on, I decided I liked them right away. They went to my knee and had high heels.
"I like them." I said, tapping my foot on the floor. I grinned and put the shoe I had tried on, back in the box, seeing a brown pair that looked nice. Shion came over from where she had been with five boxes in her arms one on top of the other.
"Look, I don't think KOS-MOS has a taste for tennis shoes, but I think you should have at least a pair. And I brought these over for MOMO." She took the top two boxes off her pile and handed them to us. The shoes she gave me were white and silver. I actually liked them enough to want to get them.
"These are sooo cute!" MOMO cried, grinning as she showed me the white and orange shoes Shion had picked out for her.
"I knew you'd like them. Ok, I'm gonna go look for some more shoes. You two coming?"
"Me and MOMO are gonna go look for some shoes for her." I said, piling up my three boxes and walking with MOMO behind me. We only stayed in the store for about fifteen minutes before the boys got tired of being in there. They had all bought a pair of shoes each, whereas Shion bought ten pairs. I felt bad for Allen when we left.
"Maybe we should go take these back to the Elsa and then come back." Allen said, trying to carry three shoe large shoe bags on one arm and two large clothing bags on the other.
"Do I have to do everything?" I said, under my breath, taking the three shoe bags from him. chaos tried to muffle his laughter, but Jr. couldn't and burst into laughter at Allen's expense. Ziggy just shook his head and smirked, following us into another clothing store. When we walked in, we saw three sales people gathered together around a lady in front of the mirror.
"You guys have no sense in how a woman's supposed to look! I need somemore help!" She turned and saw us, smiling widely. She walked up to us and scanned our group. Her eyes rested on Ziggy and MOMO started to giggle.
"I'm Sazuka. Can you help me please? I need a guy's opinion and you look close to my age." Sazuka had short brown hair with blonde streaks and bright blue-green eyes.
"How old are you exactly?" Came Ziggy's quiet reply. Sazuka's eyes lit up and she her smile turned into a grin.
"I'm 28. Close to you?"
"Your two years younger. But I guess I'll help." Ziggy said, with a sigh. MOMO grinned at him and the rest of us started to snicker at the look on his face. Since Ziggy's been with us he started being nicer to us and other people. It seemed we had made him like people a little better.
"Ziggy's thirty? Wow...Didn't know that." Allen said, quietly. Ziggy turned and glared at him, then walked away with Sazuka.
"I think we're going to start seeing Sazuka a little more often. Anyone else see how quickly Ziggy gave in?" Shion whispered, hoping Ziggy didn't hear her. It must've been her lucky day because he didn't seem to.
"His body temperature went up by ten degrees when Sazuka spoke to him." I said, receiving weird looks from everyone, but chaos.
"You can still receive data?" Shion asked, looking very surprised.
"Yes, why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know." Shion said, smiling at me and walking off to a rack. The entire group split up to look at various things when I heard an overly high pitched voice.
"Sir, can I help you?" A girl with a very very short black leather skirt and a very low cut white shirt asked chaos. I glanced at the girl and turned back around, hoping he didn't answer her at all.
"No, thanks." chaos replied, walking away. I smirked and went on with what I was doing. Then her annoyingly high pitched voice rang out again.
"What about you, sir? Need any help?" She had gone to Jr. since chaos didn't want any "help". I doubt that's what she wanted anyway.
"Nope." Jr. went back to what he was looking at; trying to decide on what color sweater he wanted.
"Where is MOMO?" I asked myself, looking up. The girl's eyes met mine and she glared rudely at me before turning away to do something.
"Kos-mos, you ok?" Shion came over to me, with a worried look on her face. She must've seen the girl glare at me and saw me glare back.
"That girl in leather is annoying me." I said, quietly to Shion.
She nodded, "If I hear her stupid high pitched voice again, I swear I'm gonna scream."
"I think that color would look better on you than the other one." Came that same annoying voice. I rolled my eyes and tried to get back to what I was doing. Her voice just kept going on and on about something stupid, when I decided to look up and see who she was talking to. My eyes narrowed when I saw that she was talking to chaos. My chaos. I took a very deep breath, knowing I did not want to blow up the entire street over some very stupid girl. I wasn't gonna do it.
"And if you put these two colors together, I think they'd go wonderful with those very handsome green eyes of yours."
Deep breath, Kos-mos. Deep breath.
"And your hair! It matches perfectly. The color of your hair is like the most beautiful I've ever seen! It's not dyed, is it?"
Think happy thoughts and take a very very deep breath. There you go...
"Kos-mos don't let her get to you." MOMO had come over from the other side of the room, and she could tell I was ready to kill the girl with the annoyingly high pitched voice.
"I'm trying, MOMO. I'm trying."
"Go ahead and kill her Kos-mos, it'll be fun to watch." Jr. had come over as well, looking annoyed as well.
"Jr.!" MOMO pinched him and grinned when he yelped.
"Hey, that hurt!"
"It was supposed to." She grinned at him and the two walked away to help him decide on what color sweater for him to get.
"I advise those pants. They'll make you look sexier than you already do."
THAT'S IT! I'M GONNA KILL HER!!
I threw the hanger I had in my hand back on the rack and walked over to where the two were. If looks could kill, the girl would've been dead twenty times over because as I walked over to them, I had the look of a murderer on my face.
"chaos, you know I don't like sluts near my boyfriend," I said in mock sweetness, "Come help me find an outfit." I dragged him to the other side of the store, away from the idiotic girl with the annoyingly high pitched voice. Jr. smirked at me and MOMO giggled, while Shion looked like she was about to die of laughter. Even Ziggy and Sazuka had heard me and Sazuka burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Your mother had told you to quit hitting on boys when you were at work, Ann. That's what you get." Sazuka said when she had recovered from her laughing fit. The girl looked mortified and went into the back of the store.
"Kos-mos, that wasn't very nice." chaos said, grinning at me.
"I don't care very much."
"I know you don't."
"Well then, help me find something so I can get out of this stupid store. I feel like blowing it up."
