(The art on the top is how Fukase usually dresses in here! ((Yes I did change his "design"/how he dresses from chapter 3)) )

' Fukase started jumping up and down while I covered my mouth, trying to hold in my laughter at his childish antics. Wait, no. I hate the stupid stuff that he does like this. I'm not supposed to laugh. But, I can't help myself.. '

I just started walking into the mall quickly to get out of the conversation faster until Fukase grabbed me by the arm. "Ah tah tah, you're not getting out of going with me to Hot Topic." I sighed dramatically, pretending like that was my true intentions to not make Fukase feel stupid but anyways, I held onto his arm to assure him that I wasn't gonna ' run off ' this time. I felt that weird warm feeling in me again but I thought nothing of it. It's just a friendly feeling, right? There's no possible way it could be anything else. Anyways, we finally walked into the mall and dear god it was more packed than I thought it would be. I gripped onto his arm tighter as we walked through the mall. I noticed that Rin and Miku were holding hands but that's obviously just a friendly way, right? Just like me and Fukase! Even if I've only known him for a few days.. Miku suddenly tapped Fukase's shoulder. "Hey, wanna race?" She pointed at these animal cars that looked like they were made for children. Fukase without a second thought immediately ran over to the red lion. Miku had sat on the cat while me and Rin grabbed our phones out to record. Miku and Fukase were racing around the mall while me and my sister were chasing them to record it until they got stopped by a mall cop.

Apparently they were "only for kids", said by the White cishet male mall cop who was in his 40's who probably had a wife with 2 kids too. Both my girlfriend and Fukase held their heads down until they saw a boba shop in the mall. Miku had ordered Matcha bubble tea while Fukase ordered just regular milk bubble tea. Me and Rin both ordered mango because she wanted to take photos of the boba. Everyone was enjoying their drinks then Fukase suddenly jumped up and pointed at a random store. Oh no... It's not random... "IS THAT SPENCER'S? COME ON WE HAVE TO GO I NEED NEW ACCESSORIES!" Before I could even breath Fukase grabbed me by the arm and dragged me over to Spencer's. "I thought we were supposed to go to hot topic.." Is all I could muster out.

"Well yeah but Spencer's stuff is funny to look at!" Fukase gave me a small smirk. "I also wanted to get away from the girls because..." He paused for a second. "You know what? Nevermind. Let's just go into the store ok, Len?" I nodded my head as he rushed in. He wanted to get away from my girlfriend and sister? Why? With me too? Eh, whatever it's probably some dude thing I don't know. I went in and took a big glance at the place then started following Fukase into the store.

All I could say is that I did not wanna be in there. "How do you stand it in here Fukase?" I said in a hushed voice. He just shrugged his shoulders, not giving a care to anything. I sighed and just anxiously stood around. I saw dudes with anime shirts walking in, emo girls, goth girls, cat girls, mostly girls and greasy guys. I put my headphones in and put on the Hamilton soundtrack. I kept following Fukase until he finally found what he wanted and bought it at the register. I felt a huge relief after walking out of there like a huge boulder was just taken off of my back.

He then started dragging me to Hot Topic without the girls. I give up at this point. He's gonna drag me everywhere. As we're walking towards suddenly I get stopped by a little kid. "Hey mister.. Have you seen my big brother? He's really cool and tall and he's a toy seller and I can't find him..." This kid was ginger and had a bunch of freckles so it would be easy to find his brother right?...

Right..?

Well, we were wrong. Apparently it was ginger rush hour and every other turn you made you'd see a redhead. We saw a sassy girl hanging out with some dude whom looked about my age and looked like a total loser, We also saw some dude who had a tacky hat and had wine and hats in his hands, a buff dude with a burger in one hand and phone in the other hanging out with this white haired dude who sounded like he was talking about money, AND THEY WERE ALL GINGERS! Not to mention Fukase is a redhead himself. We found this tall one who looked scary, no shine in his eyes whatsoever. The little kid suddenly ran up to him and yelled "BIG BROTHER!!" That thing was his brother? Whatever. The dude looked about in his 20's and he was hanging out with a man who had long black and orange hair who sounded pretty old and wise. The ginger picked up his little brother and twirled him around before thanking us. "Thank you so much! I didn't even notice he went missing I'm so happy you found him. Here, let me compensate you."

He gave us a HUGE stack of 100 dollar bills. He apparently worked at some famous bank called Northland Bank? Sounds like a location in a game. Actually, him and the man he's hanging out with both sound and look like there from a game. I swear I've seen them before somewhere. But anyways, we parted ways with the men and went to go find Miku and Rin. We eventually found them at the entrance of Hot Topic and they looked like they had pink bags in their hands? I guess they bought the things they needed and were just talking at the entrance. We walked up to them and they looked weirdly surprised at us. "What's with that face? Weirdos." Fukase blurted out. Rin suddenly bursted out laughing pointing at us. We looked down then at our sides to see that we were holding hands...

I immediately dropped the stuff I had in hand and started wiping my hands on my shirt. "EWEWEWEW NOW I HAVE FUKASE'S NASTY GERMS ON ME EWW!!" Rin still laughed at me while Fukase was just pouting and my girlfriend was smiling, trying to cover her face. I grabbed out my hand sanitizer and put it on my hands while I rubbed them aggressively. Fukase scoffed at me and said in a annoyed tone "Oh, come on! It can't be that bad." I rolled my eyes at him and wiped the rest of the hand sanitizer off on my pants and went on onto our mall trip to kill time that's obviously not working.
