Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ A Not so Innocent Night ❯ Shopping and drag queens ( Chapter 5 )

Part 5

After getting dressed quickly, Ran was out of the door. That was, until he noticed his shirt was put on wrong and rushed back in to change. Shaking his head at himself he calmed down, taking deep breaths as he told himself to not panic. Calmly getting redressed, he felt a little better. He grabbed his keys and left the apartment.

"Where the hell do I look first?" Dressing for a club was something he'd never had imagined he would have to do, his other clothes more simple and formal. Trailing the streets, he went in and out of every clothing shop he could find, but alas, nothing could be found. His scrunched his hands in his pockets as he pouted and sat at a park bench, watching the busy street life go by. He didn't think he was up to it, and would resign himself to wearing his normal clothing, telling himself to put up with Yohji's teasing, and feeling out of align, around the Irishman.

Something though, made him a little worried at that. He would be going with Farferello who would no doubt be wearing something interesting, and compared to him, Ran felt not only stupid, but seriously out of his league. Shrugging his shoulders, he pulled his hands out of his pockets, his fingers grazing something on the way out and he decided to look at what he'd caught.

"Schuldig's number". He turned the crumpled piece of paper over in his hand, he'd written it down from his hand, despite his alarm bells telling him not to. He hoped that what he was about to do next, wouldn't be the stupidest thing he'd ever done in his life.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Twenty minutes later, Schuldig turned up at the bench Ran was sitting at. The red head was desperate enough to call the other man, explaining what he needed. He hated the way the German looked him over, but knew the other would be best to find clothing stores.

"I'll give you a lift to one of my frequent haunts… we can… get to know each other", Schuldich purred as they walked to his car. Soon they were both speeding off down the road.

"How the hell did you get a license?" Ran decided that a seatbelt did no good to stop motion sickness, especially when you were swerving left and right and not given time to let your head settle.

"Quite easily…I just pretended to be a good boy and drive slowly".

He smirked at the other as he continued to zip in and out of lanes, narrowly missing cars and accidents as he went. The German drove Ran to a part of town the redhead had never been to, and by the looks of it, Ran doubted if he'd ever want to again. Clubs dawned the streets, sometimes three a strip, sometimes more, and down some of the narrower roads, there were clothing and fetish stores. Sex shops and elite cafes' shone brightly with neon lights, even in the day. Signs flashed on their windows that they were open 24/7 with live girl access. Ran wondered that if they kept going down these roads, they'd find even more elicit businesses that seemed to be spotted everywhere he looked.

"This way… as you're a first timer. This shop sells clothing to the less experienced of clubbing, only when you've been going their months do you get a gold card to the back room. He smirked, flashing the thin piece of card as he shut off the engine. Ran's interest was piqued but he somehow knew that he did not want to know what lay behind the velvet curtains and locked doors set at the back and in the basement of the shop.

"Lets get going already". Schu stepped out of the car, waiting for the red head to join him before locking up. He marched the other man in; Ran's eyes widening slightly at the fetish wear on display in even the in-experienced section.

"Hey Yoshio, I have a newbie". He smirked towards a chain curtain, Ran's eyes following to where a man in leather and vinyl was currently fixing a ladder in his stockings.

"I swear I got a cheap batch". The man pouted for a little before realizing someone had spoke. His head rose, and the blue haired man looked up, a grin flashing on his face when he recognized his favorite customer.

"Schu-baby, long time no see… my beds been getting cold without you". He winked a little at Ran as he moved over, his long lashes fluttering against darkly painted eyes, a smidgen of violet/blue lipstick could be seen on his lips, highlighting his pout. The Japanese man was very attractive in his own way. His ear piercings traveled up the whole of both ears, his nose, eyebrow, and what could be seen of his nipples, pierced with gem stones and silver.

"It's been a while since I've needed to come here, that vinyl one piece has outlived all of your other creations". He smirked; getting into his conversation with his on/off lover, one of many, as Ran curiously looked around.

The red head's hands traveled over various outfits, feeling the soft touch of feathers, or hardness of leather, the shiny red and black vinyl catching his eye. The outfits he decided were for someone sexy and with confidence, and he doubted he could pull such an outfit off. Watching the other two talk, he was somewhat overwhelmed at how confident they were, emitting sexuality with their poses and speech, even eye contact showing a deep sense of familiarity with what they were doing. Sighing a little, he moved around, eyeing a couple laughing over the fetish wear, pulling things against their bodies to look at in the large mirrors, both around and above them. The two seemed happy and at home within all the leather and satin covered shelves. One of them appeared to have a fetish for satin and lace as he held up a beautiful silky dress to his body, his partner smiling widely at how well it suited him. Ran couldn't help but feel out of place again. After that couple moved away to pay for their goods, Ran walked over to the section they'd been looking at. Although dresses weren't his thing, he hoped he would feel more at home in something soft and less revealing. Picking up a shirt here and there, he held them up to his chest, staring in the mirror as he tried to decide what he liked best.

"That one suits you".

He jumped at the voice next to his ear and looked over his shoulder, catching Schu's grinning gaze instantly.

"Don't worry, no-one will bite". He chuckled, grinning mischievously like the Cheshire cat, and Ran tried to calm his beating heart.

"D-does it look okay?" He held up the vest, a mix of cotton and satin to his chest and looked in the mirror. He had to admit that he did like it. It wasn't to revealing, or short, and had open panels on the sleeveless section to show his skin, nothing to much though so he didn't mind.

"The colour looks good with your hair". The voice was less teasing, more helpful now. Although Ran relaxed a little, he was still worried the German would start teasing again.

"Really?"

The vest was a mixture of black and violet hues, one of the other showing in different angles of light, or both mixing together. He did think the colour was nice, and knew it would be soft against his skin.

"You should try it on, it'll look good".

Ran nodded and Schu pointed him to the changing room, hidden behind a large black curtain. The lights were bright and Ran guessed it was much like any other changing room except the walls were black, and rope lighting in flickering reds and violets ran across the top of the wall. Entering a stall, Ran changed quickly, half expecting the other to barge in on him. He didn't however, and Ran looked at himself in the full mirror. The top caressed his skin, the colour flattering both his eyes and hair, and Ran decided he wanted the top. It was a little more expensive than his usual clothing, but decided to stretch his budget, it -was- a very nice top. Exiting the changing room, he found Schu at the paying desk, a section of accessories on the table also.

"This stuff will help complete the look". The one Schu had been talking to earlier, took his shirt and rung it up, adding the other items to his bill. Ran was a little doubtful that he'd need a single leather sleeve band, the end tapering off in a point in the middle of his hand, nail varnish, and various other accessories that would get Ran looking right, most of which he had no clue on how to use.

"Don't worry about the eye liner, just ask Farf when he arrives and he'll do it for you". Schu grinned, and Ran paid the other man, taking the black card bag by the handle.

"Don't I need pants?" He could see a vast amount of leather and PVC pants aligning the racks and raised a brow at both the other men.

"Thing about Farf is he loves leather on himself, but prefers cotton or silk and satin on others. I'm sure you have cotton pants, the ones you wore to work would suit the top, and though your ass would look great in tight leather, I don't think a first timer to a full on, heavily lit club, would be comfortable in them".

Schu smirked, knowing he was right, and Ran conceded. "I guess so".

Yoshio waved at both as they left the shop, turning to his new customers. Ran almost shrieked as the gay couple entered, one man leashed to his owner, a gag in his mouth and hands cuffed behind his back. The red head could hear the conversation as the shop door closed behind him.

"We seem to have lost a pump…somewhere… and the keys".

Schu's snicker was long and loud as they continued back to the car.

"Pump?" He knew keys were for the cuffs but was a little confused otherwise.

Ran blinked at Schu as he got in, tightening his seatbelt.

"It's a pump up gag… I'm guessing they can't release the air inside it without it, probably a bitch to take off like that". Ran nodded slightly, a little bewildered, his eyes going wide a moment later.

"His jaw is gonna hurt like a bitch then".

Schu's laughter filled the car as they pulled away from the curb.
