89 Lingerie (1/2)
I carried in my hands the plastic bag that contained the toy she had bought as I walked after her. She was quite lively as she walked with light footsteps and a smile on her face the last time I checked. Her long silver-white hair flowed down to her lower back, and they moved with each step she took.
We made our way through the mall, stopping occasionally in shops that caught her interest. She would then look around the store, searching for things that were either for her or for other people that she knew as Christmas gifts. It pained me to watch her shop for those gifts so early, but I knew that if I were to say anything, she would probably make fun of me. Therefore, I kept it all pent up within me.
Time passed in a speedy fashion, and it would appear that my moodiness had affected Luna. She would occasionally look back at me, frowning as she saw my bitter face. However, she would often simply sigh and continue on with her shopping, knowing that I'll follow after her. Slowly but surely, the bags that I carried increased in numbers while she continued her march through the mall.
”Did you want me to come with you just so that you have someone to carry your stuff?” I asked her.
”That's one of the reasons,” she smiled as she turned around and walked backwards for a bit so that she could observe me. However, after seeing that bitter look on my face, that smile seemed to vanish as she turned around once again to face the road. This made it impossible for me to catch a glimpse of her face and see what she was feeling.
Our journey through the mall soon took us to the upper levels where clothing were being sold. Like before, we weaved in and out of the various stores to see what was offering and not buying anything. It would appear that she was simply interested in looking at some clothes, which explains why we're here on this floor of the mall.
As we exited a men's clothing store, I saw her turn around towards me with a sly grin on her face. It puzzled me somewhat for I wasn't sure what was the meaning behind it, but I was certain that I'll find out sooner or later. So without any comments, I continued after her.
The stores that she led me into slowly changed its targeted audience. It started with men's stores, then to family stores, and from that, to women's clothing stores. It was particularly awkward at the end there since you would usually never see males in the female section of this mall. Especially when it's a lingerie shop.
I blushed as I followed her into the lingerie store, feeling the suspicious gazes being directed at me from all sides. I could hear murmurings from the customers and store employees alike, talking about whether or not they should call security to remove me from the store.
I didn't blame them. Looking around me, all I see were bras and panties of different colors and styles. There were the adult and mature kind with the laces and then there's also the plain regular types. However, all of them are off limits to people of my gender.
”You see what happens now when you stay so far from me?” Luna suddenly turned around and said to me with her hands on her waist, as if stating the obvious.
”Y-yeah,” I nodded, darting my eyes about in fear that people would actually call security on me.
Luna chuckled and then smiled. She walked over towards me and then brought her arms around my left arm, the one side where I wasn't carrying anything with. This gesture of her's, so sudden and out of the blue, led to me panicking in shock. My heart rate increased, especially when my arm was buried between her breasts and felt the softness of them through her school uniform.
”This way,” she blushed rose to her tippy-toes so that she could whisper into my ear,”no one would suspect a thing.”
I felt my heart pounding in my chest as my ears were stimulated by the air that she breathed out when she breathed or talked. In addition, her voice sounded oddly erotic and sexy when being whispered into my ears at such a close distance. While she spoke in the charming matter, she hugged my left arm even closer to her chest, allowing me to feel even more of her breast through the sleeves of my blazer. For a second there, I mourned the fact that it wasn't summer time and I wasn't wearing the short-sleeved version of my school uniform.
We continued looking around the lingerie shop with Luna still clinging onto my arm as if she was my girlfriend. This behavior seemed to eliminate much suspicion from the female customers and employees that were located in the same area as us, granting me much relief. However, it also made me less relaxed as I was now focused on containing a physical reaction down below me due to the softness my left arm felt through the sleeves of both the dress shirt and blazer I wore as well as the pleasant scent of her body that I smelled.
She picked up a lingerie, showing it to me. It was a purple lace bra and panties combination that seemed extremely mature and erotic. She brought it close to my face, causing me to blush, lean back, and look away.
”What do you think?” she asked as she ducked her head underneath the clothing hanger for the underwear. On her face was an amused smile as if she was fairly entertained seeing my embarrassed expression.
”It's... nice,” I muttered.
”You wanna see me in them?” she then asked in a teasing manner, dragging out her voice and speaking in a deeper manner.
”S-stop joking,” I sighed.
I then realized that my mood was no longer as foul and that my countenance wasn't as bitter. This marvelous change I believe was caused by Luna's playfulness. She seemed to be able to drag my attention away from the gloomy future of her death and focus it on the joyful present that the two of us shared at the moment. For her, every second is extremely valuable to her. Therefore, I subconsciously wanted our experience to be worth the time she had spent with me.
”I'm not joking,” she then said with a solemn expression on her face. ”If you ask me, I'll wear it for you.”
Her voice was so soothing and erotic that it dragged at my adolescent mind. I stared in her face with a wavering state of mind, taking in how mature and erotic it was just to simply stare at.
Was she always this mature? I asked myself as I remained surprised by the sudden change of her aura.
Just as my heart rapidly pounded in my chest, a sudden change in her facial expression alleviated it. Her usual laughter broke the seal as she smiled and backed off from me while holding the lingerie hanger in her hand. She appeared extremely entertained by my reaction for her laughter continued for quite some time, ultimately drawing the attention of the employees and other shoppers.
”How cute,” I heard a group of college-aged shoppers say to each other. ”She's teasing her boyfriend.”
”Trying out the adult stuff,” her female companion added.
Luna's laughter then came to an end about thirty seconds later. As she finished, she wiped the tears off her face that had formed during her laughing session as she gazed at me.
”Why do guys get so flustered when it comes to lingerie?” Luna asked as she walked towards the counter with me following behind her. ”Isn't it the basically the same as a swimsuit?”
