<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/fgm5IMb.png)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Mallory Minato<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>June 15th, 2021, 11 AM<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Yuki Katsura Bridal Store (Outlet)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Leasick<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong>Here Comes the Bride<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Blushing Bride (https://i.imgur.com/qIvbC9e.jpg)<br/><hr/><br/>As Leasick walked over to the wall of veils, Mallory followed the man, her body language less of anger, and a bit more of hesitation; honestly, wouldn’t someone else feel like that in her situation? “Yeah, fun is fine, but this is...”  Was lying to staff just to try on expensive wedding outfits a good idea? What if they were found out and got kicked out? That would be more fuel to the ever growing fire that was Mallory’s day, today. “Ah...”  Mallory’s word we’re cut short when Leasick places the bridal veil along her head, the veil flowing along her braided hair and back. It was so long, it nearly trailed to the bottom of her feet.<br/><br/>“I-I...”  Why was she feeling very warm all of a sudden? The sudden smile that Leasick gave as he complimented her with the veil, imagining what type of bride she would be, threw her off a bit mentally. It didn’t help that one of his fingers nearly traced along her jaw, and she hastily took in a breath, nearly caught in her throat from holding it in. W-what was he doing, and why was he so close? “I guess, but that was more because they looked like dresses on a princess.”  Mallory was nothing close to the characters in fairytales, that was for sure.<br/><br/>Though as she stayed silent for a moment, she contemplated. It would have been good to tell the truth and be kicked out, and it would certainly raise questions as to why she and Leasick couldn’t go back to the store with Ryusei and Kyless when they met up again. A thin line came across Mallory’s lips, concentration along her brow as she turned away; she was just going to have to deal with Leasick’s antics, wasn’t she?<br/><br/>Though...the dresses<em>were</em>pretty...<br/><br/>“I...I guess this is fine. Just don’t tell anyone about this, ok?”  She turned back to Leasick, her face no longer showing anger or annoyance, but a hint of...shyness? She gave a breath, her heart beginning to slow for the moment, looking towards the man in front of her once more. Her eyes looked towards him a curiously, eyes narrowing in suspicion,  “I assume you do this with all the girls you end up taking out?”  A bit of a joke on her end, but before they could continue, the store attendant had returned, with wedding dress in hand. Mallory’s eyes locked onto the beautiful dress held in the store attendants hands, and she couldn’t help but put her attention on it; it was quite beautiful, even if it wasn’t what they were here for.<br/><br/>Though, Leasick was still coy enough to keep the charade up, almost a bit<em>too</em>eagerly.<br/><br/>“Ah...”  Mallory was nearly caught off guard, before she took a moment to swallow her pride; this would be fine. It wasn’t like any of the others were going to know about this...<br/><br/>“Uh, great idea!”  Chalking up her nervous attitude to a shy bride to be, the attendant lead her to the changing room to help  get her ready. It only took a few moments as the attendant had gone to retrieve something, as Mallory waited in the small room. It didn’t occur to her that she would be getting more to put on, yet when she arrived with what appeared to be lingerie, Mallory’s face flushed. “U-uh, I need that too?”  Did women getting married wear things like that underneath their dresses? Was that a big thing these days? Mallory certainly had no idea, but looking at it, it was somewhat alluring to the eyes. She couldn’t help but like the lace design, even though it barely covered most parts of her body.<br/><br/><strong>“It’s the big thing now of course! It’ll be under the dress, so don’t worry!”</strong>The store attendant consoled, as Mallory’s face still flushed gave a hesitant nod. I mean, it couldn’t be that bad, right? She’d always been curious about lingerie for a bit as well, but when was there ever going to be a time she would need to try it on? Just like this wedding dress, of all things...<br/><br/>Within about 10 minutes or so, the lingerie, and the dress, had been put on the young researcher, with much help from the store attendant in question. She didn’t even seem to notice that the attendant had snapped pics for the fiancée in question, making sure she wouldn’t know; after all, Leasick did say his young bride to be was quite shy. Shy, hesitant eyes looked over the image in the mirror in front of her, and for a moment, Mallory couldn’t help but be just the tiniest bit star struck; was that really her? The dress was thin, nothing too big or fancy, but it almost seemed perfect for the young researcher that was quite plain and simplistic. The veil that Leasick chose actually complimented the dress well, and for a moment, Mallory was silent.<br/><br/>Though, the sudden call from her<em>soon to be husband</em>, all but broke that moment.<br/><br/>“C-coming!”  A bit too hasty of a response, the store attendants gave small chuckles, all believing that it was simply a young couple in love. Taking a breath to ready herself, she couldn’t help but feel her heart racing, and not stopping; why was it beating so fast? She shouldn’t be this nervous for something like this, should she? It was just all a game, just dress up, so why was she feeling like she was going to faint? Taking a hasty breath, the curtain was drawn back as the blushing bride was revealed, to which the store attendants couldn’t help but give looks of happiness; wether it was from how the dress looked on her, or simply because they were potentially going to make a sale, neither Leasick or Mallory knew.<br/><br/><strong>“Here she is~”</strong>The attendant helping Mallory was quick to lead the young girl to Leasick, a smile across her face.<strong>“You’re quite lucky to marry her; such a beautiful bride to be~.”</strong>Giving Leasick a wink of encouragement, she discreetly gave the man back his phone, the wink in question being the cue. All Mallory could do was stay silent, even as her cheeks were stained a scarlet from the attention, and simply from the situation alone.<br/><br/><strong>“My, so shy when wearing that dress in front of you, isn’t she? The telltale sign of a young coupe in love~”</strong><br/><br/>Surely God was looking down at her embarrassment and laughing.
