[shigeo]

[He nods... so he just has to look at stuff that might be interesting? That seems simple enough. He's not exactly sure what else to do on a "date", especially since he's... well. Never really tried to date.] I'll follow you.

[lusito]

Excellent. Let's take this street, then.

[One of the very first things that Shigeo might notice is that, judging from the sheer amount of clothing stores, the city of Shibuya cares a lot about fashion and the latest trends. Even Joshua himself, despite wearing the exact same clothes as before, seems rather interested in some of these outfits. He's holding a red blazer up by himself to compare at one point, before he then he holds it up next to Shigeo to compare.]

Hmm... yes, this color definitely looks better on you than me. What do you think?

[shigeo]

Oh, uhm... I don't know. [He looks between the blazer and down at his own chest, warily.] I don't really know fashion... the red seems really bright, though. [But he doesn't sound like he has any real conviction behind that...]

[lusito]

[Joshua hums a little at that in consideration before he seems to nod in agreement after looking at it a little more, putting it back on the rack and trading it for a black jacket with a dark red trim to compare with instead.]

So what kind of colors do you like then, Shigeo-kun?

[shigeo]

[He seems to waffle on it for a minute... he didn't exactly care about fashion, but...] ...What would... make me look popular...?

[lusito]

... Well, the current trends right now involve colors and threads like these ones, but that's here in Shibuya, so I can't say if the same look would be considered popular in your city. Though, I do think you'd look quite stunning regardless.

[But that might be because he's biased right now.]

[shigeo]

[Well, if it could make him look popular. He pulls off his hoodie, and he's only got a plain white t-shirt underneath - but he reaches for the jacket to try it on, too. It's pretty garish compared to his flat expression and simple bowl haircut. Even if Shigeo's cheeks are a little pink after being flattered and at the idea of being popular.]

[lusito]

[If Josh notices how distracting the hair and expression is, he doesn't show it.]

Yes, perfect. You make this jacket work even better than I imagined.

[He is however going to reach out and help adjust it a little around the collar of the jacket. Hope you don't mind him being that close to you while he prods at you here.]

[shigeo]

[His cheeks get redder and redder, but he patiently waits as Joshua fiddles with his collar.] If you think I look cool...

[lusito]

Of course I do. Though to be fair, I already thought you were interesting beforehand.

[Though, debateably, that's not the same thing as thinking someone was already "cool" before too, is it?]

[shigeo]

Mm... well... thank you. [He doesn't know what else to say??? And Joshua said he'd buy this for him... it feels like a lot, really. He's afraid to look at the price tag.] Uhm, what next, Joshua?

[lusito]

Well, we could look at a few more stores, get something to eat, walk around the scramble crossing... what sounds appealing to you right now, Shigeo-kun?

[shigeo]

Uhm... what's scramble crossing?

[lusito]

It's a nickname for a popular intersection in Shibuya. You can see most of the stores and restaurants from there, as well as the statue of Hachiko. Sometimes you even get a few Tin Pin players milling around there.

[shigeo]

[Huh... hmm. Shigeo thinks for an uncomfortably long time.]

All of that sounds alright... I don't know what to pick.

[lusito]

Well... why don't we go toward the crossing, then? Maybe you'll see something of interest to you while we walk around there.

[Just as soon as Joshua pays for that jacket of course, and once he does so, he's looping an arm around one of Shigeo's to start leading the way to the scramble crossing.]

[shigeo]

[Oh... h-he's never even held hands with a girl before. Shigeo clams up, turning bright red - Joshua really meant date, date, didn't he? It feels nice. Even if he tenses up in embarrassment, not really knowing what to do.] Sounds fun... [He's trying to sound enthusiastic but not embarrassed, and it's hard to do both.]

[lusito]

[Joshua says a lot of things, but when he says "date", he means it. He'll absolutely walk with Shigeo just like this as they make their way toward the center of the city, not caring at all how it may look or how embarrassed his date might be about it. There's more teenagers milling around (one or two with timers on their hands like the ones Shigeo saw last time he was here...) but otherwise it seems calm today as they walk.

Joshua will point out some landmark features, like the 104 building that towers over the crossing, or the Hachiko statue when they pass by it, among other things if they stick out on their path here.]

So what do you think of Shibuya so far?

[shigeo]

[What's he supposed to say?? He hesitates, feeling a little on the spot and embarrassed.] Um, it's nice, I guess... [That doesn't sound very enthused, does it?] I'm not really thinking about the city, I guess? But I'm having fun with you. I'm sorry if I'm boring...

[lusito]

Oh, perish the thought! I could never think that you were boring, Shigeo.

[For several reasons other than just because we're on a date right now...]

As long as you're having fun, then that's all that matters.

[shigeo]

I'm still not sure I have a lot of interests... I joined the Body Improvement Club so I wouldn't be so frail, but that's not really much of a hobby. And I'm not really smart or anything. [He doesn't feel like the admiration is earned??] So, I want to do my best to be a more desirable man.

[lusito]

Really? But I think you're pretty desirable already...

[And yes, this is punctuated by Joshua leaning in closer, squeezing the arm he's linked his own around as he winks.]

Is that really just all the training you've done already with your club?

[shigeo]

Ah, uhm, yeah... I know it isn't much... [Shige is very bad at receiving compliments and flirting - this boy has no experience.]

[lusito]

Oh I think it's plenty, don't you worry about that.

[This is fun. Joshua hasn't had this much fun with someone in quite a while, and it might show in how he might actually be glowing just a little brighter here...]

[shigeo]

[Huh... Mob stares at Joshua for a long moment, taking a little while to ponder the brightness. It's not something spirits usually do, as far as he knows - at least, not subtly. Dimple was pretty unique in his flashiness. ...Actually, seeing Joshua slowly increase his glow was... kind of cute.] You're glowing.
