Writing Cards
Purple. Chocolate. Stars
That day, after Arisa had woken up and eaten her breakfast, she was surprised by a call from Shinyu. Usually, this was a bad sign.
"Ne, Arisa-chan, do you want to go shopping with me soon?"
Most of the time, Arisa would flat out ignore her, hang up, decline, or simply blow a childish raspberry into the phone and hang up; she should know the answer.
Besides, she was supposed to continue brainstorming ideas for Kuukai's card anyway. Why would she want to spend her entire day with her friend, SHOPPING?
But for some manically incorrect reason, Arisa agreed.
She quickly changed out of her pyjamas into a pair of Adidas basketball shorts and a baggy blue t-shirt with silver designs on it. Grabbing her hat from the bed, she dashed out the door.
Walking in long strides down the streets, she eventually met up with Shinyu, and her trusty steed/dog leashed, Daisy.
"Hey Daisy-chan," Arisa greeted, "…And Shinyu."
Shinyu scoffed, then played along, "Hey…Arisa's…hat!"
Rolling her eyes, she followed Shinyu in the direction of the shopping center.
"So why'd you invite me to go shopping anyway? More cruel and unusual punishment I suppose?"
"Actually," the red head began, "I'm going to get Daisy a new collar."
Arisa stared dumbfounded for a moment, "…Really?"
"Really," Shinyu replied sincerely.
"So there's no hidden meaning, or no loophole or anything this time?" Arisa asked, at one of her highest points of suspicious.
Shinyu shook her head as they entered through the revolving doors into the shopping center.
Arisa volunteered to hold onto Daisy's leash as they made their way towards the pet shop as Shinyu dug through her bag for her phone, which was ringing violently.
Arisa hummed happily as she had pulled along by the golden retriever.
When they both stood outside the pet store, Shinyu finally managed to wrestle her way through her bag and pull her phone out.
"Moshi moshi. Hai….yeah…okay…ja!"
Arisa decided to not even ask about the abruptness of the phone call and proceeded into the store leaving Shinyu to lag behind.
The brunette pulled Daisy closer to her as they passed a trey of dog bones towards the back of the store where the collars were.
"Arisaaaa~ Wait!" Shinyu cried, pushing her way through the people crowding around the puppies.
Shinyu had to practically scream and barrage her way through the crowd of squealing teenagers and adults. Finally, she arrived and found Arisa and Daisy wrestling for…reasons that she really didn't want to know about.
The red head let out a sigh and joined the duo, prying the golden retriever off the poor girl.
"Che, you know, I was just about to win," Arisa retorted glaring slightly at Daisy, who gave a low growl in return.
Shinyu rolled her eyes, "Whatever, let's just get Daisy a collar and get out of here."
Daisy gave a whine, at the same tune as Arisa's groan, "Haaaaaiiii…"
The spent about an hour tossing different styles, colours and fabrics of collars at each other with Daisy sitting in the middle, helplessly watching the collars fly back and forth.
Finally, they decided on a simple leather collar with sketchy black star designs on it.
They managed to shove their way through the crowd and survived long enough to make it to the cash register.
As Shinyu pulled out a few bills, the cashier asked her in a clear, practiced voice, "Hayai-san, would you like to take your special order home today?"
Arisa looked up at Shinyu with a confused look, "What special order?"
The red head ignored her thoroughly and thought for a moment, "Hm…alright."
The cashier smiled politely and excused herself. While she was getting the item, Arisa demanded to get filled in on what Shinyu was up to this time.
Sadly, Shinyu kept ignoring her, no matter how violent (and colourful) Arisa's language got.
Soon, the cashier returned with a pink box wrapped with a red ribbon.
After Shinyu paid for both items they both exited the store, Arisa still pestering to know what was contained in the box.
Finally, once they were outside, Shinyu pulled the box out and Arisa began jumping in anticipation.
"So...this is the present I'm giving to Kuukai, but you have to give it to him for me okay?" she explained.
Arisa gave another confused look, "Wha? Why?"
A devilish smirk graced her lips as she opened the box suspenseful.
"Hurry up!" Arisa cried. She took the box into her own hands and pried the lid off. Though when she saw the contents of the box, her face burned a million shades of red at once.
Shinyu laughed at the expression on the younger girl's face and took the box from Arisa's stoned hands.
"So, you'll totally give it to him right? But you've got to wear it first mmkay?~"
Shinyu pulled out a red leather coller, similar to the one she purchased for Daisy, but instead the stars were white and there was a heart-shaped metal tag with the words 'To Kuukai' written in curly calligraphy.
"I'm…going home. That way, I won't be exposed to…you anymore."
"Ja ne! I'll see you tomorrow! Then we can go get the cat ears I ordered!" Shinyu called after Arisa's retreating figure.
"I'm never going shopping with you again!"
