... Are they really that bad?

[ He has no idea what the glasses look like. ]

Do they make me look like a hipster or something?

[ ??? ]

[reveilation]

They suit you.

[ That's all she says but yeah, they're really that bad ]

[overstrain]

[ He has moments where he's able to put two and two together and all he can think about is that... they must be bad. ]

Okay, fine.

[ He's an idiot. ]

But it's your turn. Go pick out five things! I wanna see what you choose.

[reveilation]

Sure. Let me take this stuff off first.

[ Since it'd be sort of weird walking around the store in their clothes. But after Kido's changed back into her own clothes and hands the rest of the clothes to Terry, she goes back to the women's section of the store and proceeds to pick out the exact same things he did but sized up so they'll maybe fit Terry. They'll be matchy-matchy. ]

[overstrain]

[ This is Kido taking the expectations of the couple matching clothes and twisting it. I love it. Terry doesn't though. He's sitting in the changing room, waiting for Kido to toss the clothes over the door. He's holding everything too, including the set that he's gonna buy for Kido. He looks through his thankfully undamaged phone to see if there's anything else he should do.

Jeopardy theme plays. ]

[reveilation]

[ Yeah, they'll match and it'll be cute.

She stands up on the tips of her toes to hand the clothes over the doorframe instead of tossing it, because it'll be a real shame if the Terry has to buy dusty clothes. ]

If you need a size up or down, just let me know.

[ Otherwise she'll stand with her back leaning against the door so he can't run either. ]

[overstrain]

[ Terry receives the clothes over the door and he looks... at them...

... ]

Kido, you did this as payback, didn't you?

[reveilation]

They suit you.

[ Yeah. Now hurry up and put them on. ]

[overstrain]

[ Several minutes pass... ]

They don't suit me at all! The body type is all wrong!

[ I mean. It's not a skirt, so he doesn't have too much to complain about. ]

[reveilation]

[ She could have gone with a skirt, but that means she'd have to wear one too to be matchy. ]

Do you want a hoodie to put over it? The one you have in there should fit.

[overstrain]

No... the pants are too slim. I don't think a size change that fix that either...

[ He doesn't really know how fashion works though, so it's ??? for him. ]

[reveilation]

Can you get it on, though?

[ Doesn't matter if it fits or if it suits him. The point is to suffer. ]

[overstrain]

... Yeah.

[ What happened to it being too slim?? Maybe it's just Terry's preferences. Anyway, when Terry is done, he'll slowly open the door after telling Kido that he's finished and he comes out. He's wearing the white shirt, but you can't see it under the black hoodie at all. Moreover, the hoodie seems to be a little big for his size, with only his fingers peeking out of the arm hole. The hat covers some of his face, since he's not wearing the hood, but it doesn't do anything to hide the obvious embarrassment as he tilts his head down. Since the hoodie jacket is big on him, it kinda hides the actual size of his shoulders, making him seem smaller then he is. The pants are basically like wearing skinny jeans though. lmao. ]

[reveilation]

[ ...haha. He looks ridiculous, and Kido almost smiles, taking out her phone and taking Terry's picture. Another one for the family photo album. ]

The glasses will really complete the look. Alright, so we're set.

[overstrain]

... I can't wear these pants. I feel like my blood circulation is getting cut off.

[ He immediately goes back into the changing room. ]

I thought you'd pick out something better!

[reveilation]

What could be better than the clothes you so kindly picked out for me? Stay in there; I'll be back with another pair of pants.

[ She'll have mercy and find something in the men's section, but it'll still be skinny jeans ]

[overstrain]

[ Kido no he hates skinny jeans yamete

Terry will honestly just take this as Kido doesn't care what the hell he wears as long as it's either decent or funny looking (to her). That's one thing he learned today... but he wants to find her preferences on his own without pinpointing. Pinpointing feels like cheating in a relationship like this...

Terry obediently waits in the dressing room though. ]

[reveilation]

[ Laughs, yeah, she really honestly does not care what people wear, because it's not like she's the shining beacon of fashion herself. So, whatever's comfortable. Or funny (to her). She's just being mean.

She never had to shop for anyone other than herself, so she just goes by the length of Terry's legs to find a couple pair of pants to toss over. They're all ones with soft enough fabric that he can run and jump in, though, because that's what he's going to be doing, huh. ]

[overstrain]

[ Yeah, that's exactly what he'll be doing, but he still hates skinny jeans. he hates how tight they are on his legs, soft or not, so he'll hang the pants over the door. ]

Can you not get skinny jeans...

[reveilation]

Why not? Isn't it fun dressing up how you wouldn't normally?

[ ISN'T THIS FUN, TERRY. PLAYING DRESS UP IS SO MUCH FUN, ISN'T IT. ]

Or, you can pick out whatever you want, like I said in the first place. If you're going to talk about someone looking good no matter what they wear, that'd be you, right?

[overstrain]

[ He has done wrong. He is sorry. Please forgive him. ]

Well, but... when I said that, I meant you specifically...

[ :( ]

And I can't wear skinny jeans because they're bad for my legs.

[reveilation]

What's wrong with your legs? Knee problems from all the falling you do?

[ Not jumping, but the falling and landing and it being a miracle he hasn't shattered his shins yet. It looks like Kido's remembering bits and pieces about Terry the longer they talk, but it's just stuff like this...

She does toss another pair of paints over the door, though. Something sort of like what she typically wears, so he won't have to buy her another pair of pants to match. ]

[overstrain]

[ He catches the pair of pants and, well. This looks fine. ]

No, um... they're too tight for my legs. It's just not being thin enough to wear them.

[ It's a pretty normal answer, but he's embarrassed by it anyway. He still has weird standards. Anyway, he puts them on and comes back out. The pants are the only thing he changed, but he looks a lot more comfortable now. ]

[reveilation]

[ Is this like the time in the castle where Kido said he should be heavier than her because he's a man? Does Terry think he's fat?? What's your hangup about, Terry... ]

It gets uncomfortable even if you're thin enough. That last one's better, right? Maybe keep that in mind the next time you choose outfits for people.

[overstrain]

[ Oh.

Terry blinks and looks over at her. When Kido says that, he can't help but wonder. ]

Sorry... I'll pick more comfortable clothes next time.
