Who: Female!Roxas and Axel
Where: The mall~
When: Today; Mid-afternoon-ish
What: Axel is taking Roxas clothes shopping...and there will probably be some awkwardness on BOTH their parts.
Warning(s): ...I don't know.

If there was anything fun about being a girl then Roxas could not see it. He had learned the night before that he was rather emotional (a bit too emotional) and got upset over the stupidest little things. Even movies.

Roxas was pretty sure that movies were one thing that shouldn't upset him.

But now was not the time to think about that stuff.

Turning a little to the much taller person at his side, Roxas shifted a little and then looked away. Being a girl and being out with his best friend was a little weird (more than weird) and he had been silent the entire way to the mall.

"Uh..." He had such a girly voice; all...slightly high and female. Roxas kind of hated it. "Should we...I mean. Let's go." So instead of letting the awkward feelings fester Roxas started on ahead, walking at a slighty quick pace and ignoring how his now-long hair was falling into his face.

Okay, this had to be the most awkward thing he'd ever done in his life. Roxas was... well being so unRoxas... kinda. It was weird. One second he'd almost forget it was Roxas cause of how not Roxas she...he was acting then he'd do something and it was like, Oh, right; Roxas. It was WEIRD.

The girl voice threw him off a bit, but he looked down at Roxas when he heard it. He smiled a little awkwardly and nodded, "K, let's go." He followed the blonde into the mall, not really sure where they should go first. "Uh, where to first?"

It was kind of annoying to go from acting like how he would usually act to being kind of out of character from himself. Stupid emotional mood swings. That would be the number one thing he wouldn't miss, once he turned back to normal.

Pausing for a short half-a-second Roxas glanced over his shoulder at Axel and then ahead. "I don't know." He pause for a minute, looking around, and pointed in the direction of some store. "That way."

And he was off in the direction he had been pointing to.

	Axel followed him, looking at the stores. He'd never even been to a mall and the first time he was going was to shop for girls clothes. Man this was weird. "What do we need to get first?" He didn't sound like he was sure he wanted to ask, more like he was getting too uncomfortable with the lack of conversation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He felt a little bad for Axel, in that female-sympathy sense, but it wasn't like he could have just told Axel no the other night. Even if he, himself, was a girl at the moment that really didn't change that Axel was his best friend.

Though there had been times when he told him no. But that time...

"Clothes?" There was that questioning Roxas tone in a girl voice as the blond stepped into the clothing shop and gave it a quick look around. "What it is girls like to wear." And he was used to seeing girls wear skirts.

He shuddered a bit at that sudden thought.

	"Uh," he looked around at some of the girls in the stores. There weren't a lot, they were going at a bit of a dead time, but there were a few. "Looks like jeans? Shirts... kinda what boys wear but..." he stopped when he was about to say tighter, seeing as he should not encourage his best friend to be wearing tight skimpy clothes, "smaller."

Roxas had gotten a look at the other girls and the tight clothing they wore were kind of...tight. He had no other way of describing it. How could girls wear that type of clothing?

Then again he had seen some guys wear tight clothing too.

"Yeah," he said, stepping towards one of the clothing racks almost a bit awkwardly. Almost in a way as if he didn't know what he was supposed to do or what he was supposed to be looking for.

Way too weird. This whole thing was weird.

Axel kinda turned to look around the store. He didn't know anything about girl clothes and it would be soooo weird for him to like offer clothes to his best friend. Either something that would make him look like a nun or... he just couldn't make any helpful suggestions that wouldn't end up wrong.

He just kept looking around, awkward. He just kept his mouth shut... didn't wanna say anything stupid.

Clothes. Clothes. He had the basics of clothing for when he was a boy but why was looking girl's clothing so much harder?

Was it because they were picky or something? Ugh. He didn't know.

But luckily for them (or Roxas in general, who knows) one of the sales associates came walking up a couple minutes of browsing and annoyed expressions on Roxas' part. The woman flashed a smile towards Axel before, almost one of those 'so your girlfriend dragged you out shopping' kinds of smiles before turning her attention to the annoyed boy...girl.

"Is there anything that I can help you with?"

Annoyed expression turned to that usual Roxas-like look and he gave a thoughtful pause before speaking. "Yeah, I guess. See I kind of..." He stopped, knowing full well that saying 'I changed genders' wouldn't go well. "...my size changed a whole lot. Need new clothes and stuff."

At least the sales girl seemed like she was happy to help out with all of this.

	Axel kinda smiled back awkwardly at the sales associate. She seemed nice enough, and obviously more able to take care of this than he was. So he was totally grateful. Thought the kinda knowing smile she gave him was a little weird. He stood back and let her take over, just kinda, pretending to listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kind of only half-paying attention to what the woman was saying, he nodded a bit, letting his eyes wander to the side and then followed when he was [almost] dragged along to another area of the store. The woman seemed to be a bit too-sure of what it was he would like to wear.

That was, until she produced a knee-length skirt from a rack and was stopped just before she could even speak.

"I don't wear skirts." It was said firmly. In a 'don't question me' kind of tone. It was a bit amazing at how the associate seemed to liste and not question it, setting it back and pointing the slightly fuming boy (girl?) towards the dressing room.

As the woman slunk off, Roxas turned a bit to Axel and was quiet for a moment. It was kind of weird telling his best friend that he was going to try on some clothes. Very, very weird and very, very awkward. So instead of saying anything Roxas just turned away and moved quickly towards the dressing room area.

Axel kinda followed as the associate pulled Roxas around. He felt like a lost puppy. He was only half paying attention until Roxas spoke up again. He tried not to look to freaked out by the skirt in the associate's hand. He really shouldn't have started paying attention. That would have been better. He really didn't want to think of Roxas in a skirt.

Axel just kinda watched as he went to the changing room. He didn't know if he should wait outside so if Roxas needed help... but he really didn't want to give his opinion or anything like that anyway.

He just found a seat close to the dressing room. "I'll be right here." He said a little weakly.

Roxas honestly didn't want anyone thinking of him in a skirt. Thinking about being in a skirt was something even he really had no plan on imagining. Because it was a 'just no' kind of situation.

Jeans or some sort of pants would be good with him. Or even shorts. As long as it wasn't a skirt, he would be fine.

As Axel spoke, Roxas was just passing through the dressing room and he stopped, looked at his friend, and nodded, before being ushered to an un-occupied room.

And the whole changing and trying things on didn't take too long -- ten or so minutes at best (and he honestly refused to ask for Axel's opinion on some of the clothes because...akward).

Axel nearly praises a deity he doesn't even believe in when Roxas comes out in his own clothes, holding those that he picked. He stands up and walks with him to the counter.

"Uh, you want me to get this for you?" It was totally awkward, but he figured he should offer. He didn't really know how much Roxas had to spend. It's not like he had a job. He was going to school. Axel was making some money, mostly off some commission art work.

There was a second after the question that girl!Roxas actually considered taking Axel up and saying that it would be ~wonderful~ if he bought the clothes. But then the remainder of boy!Roxas' mind made a comeback and kicked away those thoughts.

He...couldn't let Axel do that. He also wondered if he should maybe tell Axel that the kid's family he replaced was pretty rich.

"It's okay." It would only make things a little more awkward if he let Axel buy him clothes. Especially girl clothes.

When the total was rung up and said, the boy (girl?) reached into the pocket of his pants and paid via a credit card. If Axel wanted to question it, he could, and Roxas would explain.

But as soon as it was all done and paid for, the extra slip of paper for the store signed with his signature, he reached out for Axel's wrist (it was more of a without-much-thought action) and proceeded to pull him along and out of the store with his bagged merchandise in the other hand.

Axel shifted a bit when he didn't answer right away, but kinda relaxed... as much as he could relax right now, when Roxas said it was okay. he arched an eyebrow when he payed with a credit card, but didn't say anything.

Axel blushed a little when Roxas grabbed his wrist, but followed along until he heard the sales associate behind them say to one of the other girls, "Aren't they so cuuuute. They make such a great couple!"

She said it probably louder than she should have and Axel quickly pulled his hand from Roxas and shoved it in his pocket.

The first reaction Roxas had to those words was to turn around around and yell at the woman. But that was thrown away as soon as Axel's wrist left his hand and Roxas turned a bit, looking down at his own hand and then Axel's face and then away--all done in a matter of less than a minute.

When had he grabbed Axel? Back in the store? Probably. He didn't know. And now there was a light blush starting to form on his face and a pout was definitely on coming (he hated these emotional spells) and just kept walking along.

His pace was a bit faster and his eyes were trained right on the floor.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. The woman wouldn't have even said that if he had been a boy, Roxas was pretty sure.

	Axel almost didn't notice when Roxas sped up and was nearly left behind. Roxas looked so upset and he felt this pressure in his chest and he really just wanted Roxas to not be upset, cause he really hated seeing Roxas upset. He kinda half ran to catch up to Roxas and followed him to the next store, just keeping his mouth shut. This was becoming such a mess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The urge and temptation to stop suddenly and just stomp his foot in a sheer, girly temper tantrum was there. It was bordering his thoughts and making his walk slow down a little. It was when his speed slowed that he noticed Axel had been left behind (oops) but he was working to catch up.

Should he stop so Axel wouldn't have to do a half run? Or should he just keep walking, but at a slow pace?

Roxas didn't know and it was frustrating him and then -- oh, Axel caught up. Amazing how that little thing seemed to make whatever frustration he was feeling disappear and the blond had to bite his lip to keep back from smiling.

Mood swings. The joy of every single girl.

	Axel couldn't really tell if Roxas was upset or happy when he finally got to him. Caution was always best, he supposed "Um, so what else do you need?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He was a bit of a mix of both -- girl emotions were crazy emotions -- and Roxas gave a shrug to the question. It was then followed by the shake of his head.

He knew exactly where he should be going but...dragging Axel there. No. That light flush was starting to appear again. He couldn't take his friend there.

It would kill whatever lingering sense of un-awkwardness was even there. Absolutely, completely smother it.

He'd just ask one of the live-in maids for that because he was sure that, maybe, hopefully, when it came to undergarments his now female body matched up with a maids'.

"Just...maybe should get some more pants." Like khakis or dress pants. Those would be nice.

Axel kinda watched her...er him as she tried to think of what she needed. He didn't quite get why Roxas was acting so awkward until they were already walking toward the next store. He stopped for a second, face turning very red before following and saying nothing. He wasn't going to suggest they go there. He turned his head so he wasn't looking at the blond just in time to stare at the Victoria Secret. His face turned an even brighter red and he quickly looked right at the floor.

This was too fucked up.
