Akira went slightly wide-eyed when Yuji said that he wanted to dress him. “I- I mean, I don’t really have much when it comes to rocker clothing. I don’t really have much in way of feminine clothing either,” he mumbled and sighed, “Perhaps we should go shopping? You can pick out clothes for me. We’ll look like a couple and be helping with the secret,” he said. “Just nothing too skimpy please?” he added on thinking about what he had seen other girls at the concert wearing.

Yuji thought about it, “yeah, actually that sounds like a great idea,” He smiled and got out of the car as soon as it stopped, he held the door open for Akira while leaning over to the driver “Stay here okay?” he said in English, “We’ll be right down and will want to go shopping,” he explained. Once the driver nodded, he headed up with Akira to the room that was marked on the key that Dexter had given them. “Welp, let’s take a look at that wardrobe of yours,” he said and opened the door when they finally got to the room.

Akira rolled his eyes and hurried into the room to get changed into something more suited to the day. He found his suitcase on the bed and opened it, throwing the jacket to the side and pulling off his shirt. He leaned forward and looked around at his shirts and showed them one at a time to Yuji. “This is all I have,” he said, putting the last shirt down and looked at Yuji with a questioning look. “What is it?”

Yuji had stopped and was staring at Akira for a bit, “where did you…” he said, walking over to Akira and touching his bare chest closer to his shoulder, where there was a scar that marred the rest of his flawless pale skin.

Akira looked down at the hand and realized what Yuji was talking about, “Oh, burglary…” he explained, looking away and pulling the shirt up that he was holding, “Do you think that this would be okay? At least until we get some other clothes?” he asked.

Yuji nodded and pushed the shirt down again, “Seriously, that’s all you’re gonna tell me? ‘Oh burglary’ come on, what happened?” he asked again.

Akira sighed and pulled the shirt on, “I really rather not talk about it, Yuji. It wasn’t a good day for me.”

Yuji looked at Akira and frowned a bit but nodded after a while, “That seems like something a boyfriend should know about his girlfriend, don’t you think?” he asked.

Akira licked his lips and sighed again frowning at Yuji a bit before nodded, “I get that, and I guess you’re right, but it’s not like people are going to be seeing this so if we could keep it between us…”

Yuji nodded, “Fine with me. I don’t mean to be dredging up bad parts of your past, but it seems like it’s important to you,” he explained. “I’m a curious soul,” he said giving a rather lame excuse but hoped it would work.

Akira nodded, “Yeah I understand.” He finally said after a short term of silence he nodded towards the door, “come on, I’ll explain it in the car,” he said as he moved over to the door so that they could go shopping. Once they were back in the car he sat down and hesitated to try to figure out what the best way was to start. “We were a pretty happy family until that night…
