came to her clothing. She had a pretty goo sense of style on her own, but she'd brought Lovino along just in case she needed to be prevented

from buying a hideous top or an unflattering dress. Sh holds out a knit pink mini dress, with a loose fit and a small bow sewn onto the

neckline. "What do you think of this one?"

((for loviwife~))

"Eh?" Lovino had been spacing out for a moment, but was brought back to the real world by Lili's words. "Mm...." The Italian reached out,

fingering the fabric gently, judging it. "Try it on?"

She nods, and hurries to the dressing room, slipping the dress on and returning out to face the large mirrors and Lovi.

He smiled softly, judging it. It was adorable on the slight-figured girl. "Spin?" Now, to decide if Vash would like it.

[[/Brain is for some reason seeing this as Swissmano and thus Lovi being surrogate!older brother. The hell, self ors;]]

[[*orz]]

She does as he says, twirling and letting the skirt flare out around her as she does. "So?"

Fuck it, if Vash didn't like it Lovino would personally argue with him. Or return it himself, if the blonde decided to take out ammunition.

"It's adorable."

The blond girl grins, jumping about slightly and clapping. It was quite hard to find anything her brother would possibly approve...

"It's not too short, is it?"

He sighed softly and rolled his eyes, taking a moment to assess if it appeared to be no more than three inches above her knees. "No, I don't

think so. If it is, we could always add ruffles to make it more modest?"

"Oooh that's a good idea! I think a pink and white polka dot ruffle would look good.."

"Mm..." He paused a moment, trying to imagine it. "It would. And matching tights. Or cupcake tights." Lili always looked cute in food-print

clothing. "Maybe we should get a hair ribbon to match it."

"Mmmh, but brother always gets this look when I'm not wearing the one he got me..." she twirls one end of the ribbon around her finger.

He couldn't help an amused smile, trying to hide it by biting on his lower lip and rubbing at his mouth with his hand. "Of course. I suppose

not, then--" The Italian broke off with an excited squeak, picking out an adorable lacy top.

Lili darts over to look, fingering the material. "It's a bit sheer...Brother might not approve of that..." It was cute though.

Lovino pouted, looking scandalized. "But it's adorable." Lili was hard to shop for, because of her figure and her brother's extreme, almost

ridiculous pickiness.

"Maybe if I wear another top under it?" she takes it off the rack.

"Do we need to go cami-shopping?" In Lovino's opinion, camisoles were wonderful inventions. They made unmodest things become incredibly more

presentable.

"As always~" she smiles. "You wouldn't mind going underwear shopping too, would you?"

His cheeks went bright red. "U-underwear shopping?" Lovino was easily embarrassed, plus he didn't want to be thought of as a pervert if it

wasn't obvious that he was gay...

"You can wait in the front with all the other guys...Besides, the way you're dressed is like painting a rainbow on your forehead."

His brows furrowed up, glancing down at his outfit. "W-what's wrong with it?" Lovino didn't think it was bad-looking, but maybe his taste

fading... He hated to think of that.

"No straight guy is that stylish...Which leads me to a few theories about Bruder..." she giggles.

Lovino rolled his eyes, willing away the pink flush. "If no straight guy was this stylish, then I would have avoided a lot of awkward

moments in my life." He pinched the girl's nose teasingly. "I'm sure your brother wouldn't be pleased to hear that."

"But it's so obvious--! I know he looks at Roderich's butt when he visits." She grins, returning to looking through the clothing.

Lovino couldn't help but snort at that, rolling his eyes. "Well, *I* think Elizabeta has tainted you. Your brother would be entirely

unapproving." He sifted through a few outfits, finding none that he particularly liked.

"It's true--! You should talk with him..." she picks a pair of shorts off the rack.

His cheeks puffed, grumbling. "He'd probably shoot me, and then who would take you places that he doesn't allow..." The Italian glanced over

at the shorts. "Too many rips."

She puts them back with a sigh, exchanging them for a pair of navy blue sailor style shorts with brass buttons. "Right." she looks through

some skirts, dismissing them all as too short.

Almost any skirt was deemed inappropriate by the chocolate-snacking Swiss. "How about this?" he asked, picking out a cute sundress with a

slimming style-- not that Lili needed it, the twig.

"Oooh, that's cute." It was pink, her favorite. Well, favorite next to royal blue.

It was hard to find anything fitting Lili's style in royal blue, unfortunately. "Sleeves... cute print... appropriate neckline... and check

out these cute scallops at the bottom," he showcased.

"I like it, and I think Bruder would approve.."

"For once in his life..." he couldn't help but mumble, wishing Lili's brother wasn't so uptight. There could be dozens of cute clothes they

could buy if four out of five weren't 'inappropriate.'

"Um, I talked to him about moving out yesterday." She looks down.

Lovino looked taken aback. It was never like Lili to be that bold. "A-and?" He was almost scared to ask. It was something that Vash could

never take well.

"He absolutely forbids it. Even though I only wanted to move down the street...I wish someone could convince him..." she choose a few tops.

"I'm sorry..." If Lovino brought up the subject, there would be no way to save him from a gunshot. "A-ask Roderich, maybe?"

"Maybe he'll listen if Roddy asks him while shirtless..." she smile slyly.

He half-choked on his own spit, flushing bright red. "L-Lili!" He definitely had to speak with Eliza and tell her that sort of thing was not

appropriate to teach the innocent (or so it seemed) girl.

"I get why that Spanish guy calls you a tomato. You really look like one right now~" She keeps on browsing like nothing had happened.

His cheeks puffed and he flailed his arms. "I-I do not!" Lovino would always wonder how the blonde could remain so calm and collected around

things that easily embarrassed Lovino.

"You're making a scene, people are staring, Lovi..." she blushes slightly.

He immediately brought his hands back to his sides, blushing darker and going quiet. "S-s... sorry..." he managed after a moment, looking a

bit ashamed.
