Blessed In The F(o)g

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

He smirked, tilting his head in a sweet way. "Yeah, I don't see why not." Isaac said and started East toward he city roads. They'd hit stores and buildings in about ten minutes, it was a short walk to the outskirts of downtown, from there they could just relax and have fun.
"What kind if stuff do you want?" He asked as he kept a firm grip on his dog as they walked down the sunny, paved, road.

[Yui M'Crae]

"I don't mind what we get. I'm not that picky...." I want cute things.... But, Isaac was a grown man. Yui couldn't compete with that if she still acted like a child and liked cute things. Isaac was probably looking forward to a more sophisticated woman. Apparently, that description just doesn't fit her very well. Isaac will never be interested in me if I keep on acting so childish and liking cute things. Nailah growled at Yui, because she could just tell Yui was afraid of being herself in front of Isaac. Yui is the definition of cute. She should be proud of that, because a lot of guys like sixteen year old girls with a childish attitude. That's what made them cute, and some times it can be annoying, but Yui was just cute not the annoying cute. Thank goodness she didn't speak in a childish voice. She wasn't THAT childish. Yui just has her moments where she is a bit immature.

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

He smiled, letting Ajax pull him along. Lost in thought, his mind wandered off into a distant time, a small tune singing to him in his head. He started to him to the small song, it came from a famous play that was often told throughout the world. It was his favorite movie, he'd have to take his friend their sometimes soon.
A great love story with two males and a sweet girl. The dark phantom with a lustful love for the girl and her music. The other a tolerant knight. Yui reminded him a bit of the heroine.
"Yui, do you want to go to the theater with me? I'd love to take you." He invited with a sheepish smirk. He wanted to show her, maybe not just for the play, but just for the sake of being with her. To just share his life with her was good enough.
Isaac kept his yellow eyes on Yui, a small tinge of pleading lining his irises. Soon, buildings rose up above both of them and they were in town.

[Yui M'Crae]

The small song Isaac hummed was quite familiar to Yui. What was it? Phantom of the Opera? Possibly... Her face turned red, and there was steam coming out of her ears. "Y-You want to take me to the theater? B-But, t-that's where..." She imagined a girl and boy watching a scary movie, and then the girl gets scared and the boy tries to comfort her by holding her close or something like that. But, she knew they could just be friends and go to the theater together. It was no problem for her at all. She nodded and said, "Okay, but what about Ajax and Nailah? They can't go in the theater with us, right?" Yui believed that Nailah trusted Isaac, but she still wasn't sure. The wolf was giving her so many mixed signals about Isaac! Yui bent down and kissed the top of Nailah's head, petting her gently as she gazed into Nailah's blue eyes. "Don't worry, Nailah. I promise I'll be fine. Isaac will be with me the whole time and if something bad happens, I'm sure he'll come to my rescue." Most girls would beg for something bad to happen, so the boy they really like will swoop in and save them. It helped set up the mood, but Yui hoped nothing bad happened. She almost burned Isaac's house down that morning! She didn't want that to be a sign of bad luck or just pure clumsiness.

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

Isaac gave a vigorous nod, "Of course!" He tugged a bit on the dog to make him calm. Ajax was getting a bit ahead of himself and he'd rather not spend the rest of the day chasing a black greyhound in the middle of the city. He looked at Yui, "Well, we won't go until later. We can leave them at home and then go. We won't stay here all day, 'kay?" He gave a cheerful smile and slowed his walk. His gaze wandered to the windows, his reflection along with her's and the dogs/wolf, they looked normal. And well, that was something he hadn't related to in a long time.
What with turning into what he was and meeting Yui, starting a house fire and losing his father, things had been nothing but mayhem. But, like all situations, you could learn to cope with them and you'd eventually adapt.
The tall boy putting a comfortable stride in his walk, perhaps he would adapt...

[Yui M'Crae]

The girl rose up to her feet and smiled back at Isaac, giving him the sweet smile would pretty much make any guy drool over her. It sort of depends on the guy... but it worked on most of them. Yui couldn't help it whenever she smiled like that. Her cute features made the smile so irresistable. She caught herself blushing and that made her blush even harder than she was before. "His sudden smiles are dangerous enough to make my heart race.... Oh, Isaac..." she muttered. "I-I hope I'll get the courage to tell him how I really feel someday." She decided to keep her feelings to herself, but she would have to tell him sooner or later. The longer she waited, the harder it was for her to endure her feelings. She was afraid that if she waited too long, she would lash out at Isaac and then they would be in a huge fight. Yui almost cried at the thought of being scolded at Isaac, and she thought of herself talking back to him in such a harsh tone. I don't like it one bit. I could never get mad at Isaac. He's someone whose.... important to me. It felt kind of weird saying that in her head, but it would probably be even weirder if she said it out loud in front of him. "That sounds like a great idea, Isaac~ What do you think, Nailah?" she asked and blinked when she couldn't find Nailah standing beside her. "Nailah?" She looked up from the ground and noticed the white she-wolf walking back the way they came from. "Nailah...." Yui smiled and turned to Isaac, acting like everything was okay, which it kind of was. "Okay! Let's get going, Isaac-kun~! Nailah will be fine. She just thinks we should have privacy. I mean, we are on a date, right?" She giggled and took his left hand, smiling. Yui was quite surprised she said that without blushing. It was kind of a big improvement for her. She was getting closer and closer as time passed by to confessing her love to Isaac.

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

He tilted his head, flashing his own handsome smile. Back at home, girls would always flirt and push him around in sensual ways. But, luckily Isaac could fight his own fights and let them go gently. Occasionally, he'd have a girl wander by and try to get at him, but, their efforts proved to be in vain.
Isaac took Yui's hand with out resistance, looking ahead. Ajax watched with a pang of jealousy as the black greyhound watch Nailah walk away. The violet-haired boy let go of the leash, jerking his head in the direction of the wolf. Ajax let his tongue loll out of his mouth and barked his thanks.
"Guess bringing him was useless." He joked with a light giggle. He pulled the brunette along, smirking at her occasionally until they arrived at a large building. The inside was fresh with A.C and the cool air made him take an involuntary step forward.
"Here?" He asked gesturing towards the door.

[Yui M'Crae]

Her ears pricked forward as she looked back to see the black greyhound being set loose. Nailah beckoned Ajax to follow her back home, so they can play together or just do dog stuff. Yeah, Nailah was a wolf, but the wovles are part of the dog family, right? Yui giggled with Isaac and watched Ajax to see if he would follow the white wolf. Nailah and Ajax have been getting along very well lately. "Looks like Nailah has a boyfriend~ Oi... They grow up so fast!" Yui began to tear up, but of course, she was just acting. But, you could see her shed at least one tear. "Before you know it, Nailah will be giving birth to pups! I think that will take a while, because Nailah never showed any interest in love before. Hm...." She was in the middle of a day dream, and she snapped back to reality when she realized she was being pulled by Isaac. They were walking a bit too close for Yui, but she kind of liked walking close to Isaac. Yui looked up at Isaac when they were half way to the store and smiled. That was it. When they arrived, Isaac asked her a question that sounded like he wanted to know if that store would be good enough for Yui. "Sure! We can always check a few clothing stores after this one. Hm... maybe two or three. But, I don't mind if we just shop here. I think this will be good enough. Let's check it out."

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

Isaac shook his head as they entered the store. "Ajax is too much of child, he'll blow his chances, trust me." He laughed. Walking in, his amber eyes widened as he looked around at the large facility. The big clothing racks and large aisles, people weaving in and out. It was indeed a sight to behold.
"So, I guess you can lead me from here." He said sheepishly backing off. He'd never bought clothes with a girl and had little to no experience at it. He was relying on Yui to actually pick it out. He was just here to make her comfortable.

[Yui M'Crae]

Her jaws dropped, and she was actually quite amazed. "I-I don't even know where to begin.... There's so much to choose from." It would be gross for Yui to wear the same outfit every day, but she couldn't possibly ask Isaac to shower her with clothes that she couldn't buy for herself. She would be asking for it! She looked at Isaac and believed that going to the store was a bad idea. "Isaac, you don't have to go through all this trouble for me. I can work something out on my own. I couldn't possibly ask you to waste your money on me. After all, you're letting me stay with you, even though I nearly burned down your house." Yui checked to see how much money she had, and it seemed like she had enough to buy at least two new outfits. She sighed and muttered, "He's not going to take no for an answer, is he?"

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

Isaac took one glance at her wallet as she prepared to pay for things, with that one look, he gently took the money out if her hands and placed it in his jeans pockets. "Like I said yesterday, it's no trouble. None at all." He patted the small of her back and started in a random direction.
"Yui, you can pick whatever you like. Being a guy, I have no hope of picking something cute out." He out a hand to his head, feigning innocence and flashing a bright smile. He appeared behind her and started pushing her gently further into the store.

[Yui M'Crae]

"O-Okay. If you insist..." Yui wandered off, but she dragged Isaac along with her, so she wouldn't get lost. She just stood there in shock, for she was amazed how many outfits there were to choose from. She wanted to work for the money to buy new clothes, because it was just normal for her to work for the things she wanted or needed. It was odd for her to have someone by clothes for her. "There's so much to choose from! I'm a bit blown away. I-Isaac, I want you to pick out an outfit for me. I can handle the rest. I...." she paused and blushed hard. "I want you to buy me an outfit you would like to see me wearing... if you don't mind."

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

Dragged alon by Yui, he let his heart wander and his eyes gorge themselves on all of the amazing clothes and other miscellaneous items that may or may not have any real purpose. It was real treat for him though, seeing all of this.
It was truly nice, for him, and no doubt for Yui as well. He let his amber gaze fall onto the short girl, cropped brown hair and lighter chocolate eyes. He counted himself lucky she was okay from that morning, he couldn't helps but flinch as he tightened his left hand, the one holding the burn mark. It would scar for sure, but he didn't mind that either. Isaac absently shrugged his shoulders, the usual build of stress under his muscle relieving itself. He let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes, letting the girl in frog of him lead. Then, she stopped. Isaac crashed gently into her, stumbling over her in a tall shadow. He was much taller than her, he thought quite humorous actually.
His smile dissipated as Yui turned around with perplexed expression on her face. "Wha-" But she cut him off, demanding that he pick out one outfit for her.
A pink blush crossed his face and he suddenly grew sheepish and embarrassed. He was an idiot when it came to clothes and what some might call 'fashion'.
"Um, a-alright." He let go of her hand and strolled over to one of the racks, his hands sifting through all kinds of colors and textiles.
His eyes lit up as he pulled out a soft, pink sweater, it was made of yarn and had a lot collar that was supposed to scrunch up around the neck, it had long sleeves and looked comfy. He handed it to Yui to hold and kept on it. He walked over to the pants and just pulled out a pair of white jeans, they looked nice, without any holes or tears. He smiled to himself, draping them over his arm and adding to the pile a pair of red converse and a white, knitted beanie looking hat.
Satisfied by his choices, he turned to Yui and held out the outfit, "From yours truly." He said with a soft smile.

[Yui M'Crae]

Her cheeks turned slightly pink, and she smiled when Isaac began to pick out an outfit for her. She looked down and shuffled her feet nervously, blushing hard. "Um... Y-You can call me by my real name if you want. I mean, since we're close friends and-" she looked up and realized Isaac wasn't there. "Isaac?" Yui finally spotted Isaac looking at a pink sweater, and she walked over to him quickly. "H-Hey. Don't wander off on me like that. I was beginning to get worried about-" She was cut off again to blush at the sight of Isaac smiling as he picked out an outfit for her. He looks like he's enjoying himself. The girl stayed out of the way and watched Isaac with a warm smile on her face. Yui clapped when Isaac showed her the outfit he chose, giving him a thumbs up. "It's perfect, Isaac! It's adorable!! And, you said you had no hope of picking something cute. Ooh~ Can I try it on?" Without giving Isaac a chance to answer her question, she took the outfit from him and rushed to the changing room. It was just a few minutes later and Yui walked out of the changing room in her new outfit. "What do you think, Isaac? Isn't it just the cutest outfit ever? I love it!"

[Isaac D. Sirmon]

His smile softened and he shrugged, "I don't, it's just that picking clothes for you was more easy. From now on you do the rest." He added walking with her o attend to the fitting room. Isaac tried his best and look how happy she looked! She seemed happy enough with what he had chosen which was more than enough for him.
Waiting for her to change, he began rummaging through more clothes, men's clothes now though. Why not get something for himself while he was here?
Picking a nice cloth, he headed into the guy side of the fitting rooms and slipped into the merchandise. It fit snugly at his hips and seemed to wrap around him like a snug mitten. A good size and wonderful color.
He heard the door click open, signaling Yui was finished. A teasing smirk fixed itself on his lips and he walked out to confront her.
Isaac wore a white tuxedo, completed with a light green tie and dark grey undershirt. Pants were a pearly white that shone brilliantly. His broad shoulder were set comfortably into the seams of the suit.
His smile disappeared as he looked at his companion. She looked adorable, the colors complimenting her hair quite well. He tilted his head and smiled softer than a feather. "You look good, nice to see I'm not a failure at matching colors. So, what do you think of me?" He flashed a devious grin, his amber eyes lighting up with brilliance.
