บท 61: Unsaid
"How did it come to this..." Ori mutters in complete despair...
"Stop being a baby and deal with it. You can cup my ass but you can't handle this?" Rebecca shouts from within the dressing room.
"You still on that?" he questions, slowly scanning his surroundings with a fixed expression. No man should have to experience this kind of humiliation... He'd handled it with his sister when they were younger... But now?
The looks other women in the female clothing store sent him stabbed in all the wrong ways. This was like throwing a fish into a volcano, the anthesis to his natural habitat...
"Be quiet! I can hear you brooding from here!"
"Our deal said that you wanted me to help you pick out clothes, no one said anything about enjoying it!"
"Let's see you enjoy this then!" she states, stepping out from behind the curtain in her new outfit... Or at least, what she considered an 'outfit'. Since Rebecca's usual clothes consisted of thin black underwear under a jacket, he wasn't surprised when he saw her.
Pale green booty shorts and a tank top that barely displayed some underboob, well, since she was almost as flat as a billboard it showed the outline of her pectoral... Almost immediately the whispers of nearby women reached him, prompting him to lower his head in a vain attempt to avoid their eyes.
"Well?" she gives a few poses, most attempting to increase how big her bust looked.
"I think you'd look better with clothes on." he deadpans.
She glares at him, "What's that supposed to mean? You think my body's ugly?" she asks as she steps over to where he was sat.
"That's a trap question and I refuse to answer it." he diplomatically says.
"Hmph! As far as I'm concerned there's only two answers... You either like my body, or you don't..." she leans forwards, almost pushing her chest to his nose.
...
"Why're we doing this, Rebecca?" he questions, resting his head on the pillar-mounted mirror behind him.
She folds her arms, "Because you lost the bet, obviously."
"I mean, why did you choose this," he gestures around the store, "Specifically." he already suspected what it was but... His feelings for Rebecca were complicated... He wouldn't be able to give her an answer even if forced to. Besides, he was still crushing on someone else, Christy...
Rebecca huffs at the question, "You ain't dumb, you really gonna ask a girl that?"
He lets out a sigh, "So you really-"
"Hold it right there mister and shut your trap! Don't ask that question because I ain't answering it!" she points between herself and him, "Right now we're just buds, chooms, whatever you wanna call it." she then prods him in the forehead with her finger, "I'm testing the waters, seein' if there's anything behind this thick skull of yours. So, until you grow the balls to ask me yourself or something else happens, shut up and enjoy the show I'm giving you on what was supposed to be a lost bet!" she states, spinning around and heading back into the dressing room.
Ori rubs his forehead while awkwardly staring at the curtains, "Huh... I guess I was acting dumb..." he mutters to himself, shaking his head and getting to his feet.
Rebecca steps out of the dressing room in a new outfit, but pauses at Ori's absence... She scowls and kicks the floor, wondering if Six would but upset if she found their teammate and put a bullet in his ass... Who abandons a girl like this, huh!? "That two-bit no-good ass hole!"
"Who's pissed you off now?" a familiar voice asks as it approaches.
She turns and angrily stomps on the ground, "The douchebag I came with le-... What, get cold feet runnin' off?" she questions as she links the voice to Ori.
He crooks a brow and tosses a paper shopping bag at her. "You're not gonna bribe me!" she states while opening it up, contrary to her words however her eyes instantly soften. She pulls out a dark pink jacket and looks it over, "This for me...?" she whispers. (Looks like this but slightly longer and pink : shorturl.at/inx03 )
Ori shrugs, "Figured picking something I think you'd actually like would work better than whatever we were doing. Matches your eyes and tats, and'll stop creeps from staring at your ass... Most of the time at least."
"You already bought it?" she asks as she puts it on, noting how it ended below her mid-thigh.
"Yeah, got enough pockets for all your ammo too-" he pauses when she hugs him, direly aware of the thin underwear she was wearing as his knee brushes past the coat and towards more sensitive areas. His thoughts are drawn away when she lets out a slight sniffle however, "A-are you crying...?" he worriedly asks.
"N-no! S-something's just caught in my eye!..." she wipes her eyes and looks up at him, "T-this is the best gift anyone's ever gotten me!" she says, squeezing the hug tighter, not explaining that it might even be the first gift she'd gotten... Pilar wasn't exactly charitable, even to his sister...
He opens his mouth a couple times to answer but finds himself failing, on the fourth try she interrupts him however, "S-shut up... Just let me get this outta my system..."
...
She squeezes him a couple more times, each one becoming tighter as if a python was trying to constrict him... Until finally she relents, stomping on his foot and letting him go before charging back into the dressing room. "This don't mean anything!"
"Really? I thought we were chooms? That means a lot to me." he says rubbing his foot, only to smirk when he hears her trip over herself.
The rest of the hangout continues smoothly, Ori helping her pick out a couple outfits(underwear sets) before making a last stop at a burger place. After that, they each head home, concluding the 'not-date'.

บท 62: Day of Birth
*Bip-Bip-Bip*
*Bip-Bip-Bip*
Ori groans as he turns off the alarm, tiredly sitting up and glancing at the notification... "Oh... It's today huh...?"
Somehow he was surprised, despite how dumb that sounded... It was his birthday, and the alarm that'd just rung was one he'd set up in an attempt to get one over on his dad and sister. They liked to bumrush him before he was even awake, jump all over him before carrying him and tossing him into an ice-cold bathtub...
It wasn't like he didn't get them back though, last time he'd shaved his dad's beard completely off during his sleep. For his sister, he'd painted her face completely like a clown, which she only discovered halfway through the day... The beating and withheld food afterwards were well worth it.
...
Not like today would be like that, his family was still missing, and Bats barely remembered his birthday back in Casinha, let alone now... Hmm, he was sixteen now... Yet felt like the same kid as before.
"Close your eyes... Maybe you can sleep through today..." he mutters to himself, Six was apparently gonna be busy with a solo job today, and he wasn't sure what Rebecca was up to. He himself didn't have any gigs going, so maybe he could just take a break...
*Beep-Beep*
...
"Uuuuggghhhhhhh....." he groans as he looks at the notification but his body throws itself into an upright position when he sees who it is.
[Hey Ori, happy birthday, just wanted to let you know that I'm free today if u wanted to hangout... Or something...] - Christy
...
She remembered... He could've sworn she'd have forgotten, while they were technically friends, he'd always assumed he was the forgettable 'little brother' you only thought about when visiting Casinha.
He smiles to himself and texts back after many rewrites as he wasn't exactly sure what he wanted to say.
Sure! If you're available, I've got nothing else plan-...
No, that wouldn't work, made himself seem like a loner charity case... She'd already had to lend him money after all...
[Sure, what were you thinking of doing?] he simply replies, leaving it up to her to decide. Not a minute later he received a response.
[There's a nice little coffee shop that opened up Downtown, we can meet up there now if you like?] - Christy
[Send me the detes and I'll be there. Might take a bit though, traffic around this time is killer.] - Ori
[No probs, I'll see you then!] - Christy
...
Wait, did this count as a date...? Boy and girl head spend some time about the town alone... No, he couldn't psyche himself out before the da-meeting... Meeting...
With that said, he grabs his 'best' clothes, which essentially amounted to smart and slightly torn casualwear, and leaves a note for Bats who hadn't even awakened yet, saying that he'd be out doing some chores.
---------------------------
After struggling for thirty minutes to find a parking spot, Ori eventually makes it to the coffee shop. 'Bean's Hub', a stupid name if you asked him, but the place must've been doing something right with how busy it was.
He steps through the door and glances around, there were no free chairs or tables, each one filled with an assortment of people, varying from your typical pre-Corpo War hipsters, to suits looking for a quiet place to conduct a meeting, to regular families just visiting to check the place out.
His eyes do focus in on a table with one person on it... Familiar tanned skin and pink hair under a wide-rimmed synth leather hat. That was Christy alright, she was presumably using it to keep anyone from noticing her... After all, she and her bandmates were getting quite famous judging by the news stories he'd heard about them while flipping through T.V channels.
He makes his way over and sits opposite her, smiling slightly as she beams at him under her hat.
"Happy Birthday!" she quietly yet excitedly offers as she grabs his hand and eagerly shakes it.
"Thanks... How'd you know it was my birthday anyway?"
"I remembered, obviously." she answers as if his question was a stupid one.
He shrugs, "I mean, I'm only askin' since you probably have lots of friends, family, even business associates, don't take it the wrong way but someone like me doesn't really... Deserve... It?" Ori trails off and looks up at her, only now noticing the frown on her face.
"Ori, don't start talking about other people or 'deserving it', be it my attention or whatever else. For someone like me there isn't a lot of people I can actually call my friends, yes, I have got a calendar for the birthdays of my producer and others, but they only really receive a gift card or whatever." she shrugs, "I like to think we're friends... Doing something as small as this is easy, like I'd be forgetting your birthday either," she smiles mischievously, "Last year you kept asking me if I remembered it, I had no choice but to memorise it!"
He looks to the side awkwardly, that'd been when his crush first started... He was a pile of nerves around her, even more so than now, which he'd displayed by basically badgering her to remember him whenever they met... Such dark... Cringe times...
"D-did you get drinks yet? This is a coffee shop right?" he asks, changing the subject.
She taps on one part of the table causing an electronic menu to open up, "Pick what you like, I'll catch the bill." she offers after ordering a latte with an egregious amount of add-ons onto it. Chocolate, cinnamon, coconut shavings, double cream, and a bunch more ingredients that Ori hadn't ever encountered before now...
Not wanting to take advantage of her generosity, he picks a basic large coffee, one of the cheapest drinks this place had available, despite its still rather large pricing.
"So, how're things?" she asks as they wait for their orders to arrive.
