"Oooh, no dice, Shiro."
Giving him a small grin as she crossed the finish line, Rukia leaned over with no small degree of smugness in her expression, quite amused at how deflated he seemed just from the loss. Hopefully he didn't take the situation too seriously, though. It was just a game, after all.
"So, where's those claws I was hearing so much about? Don't go using them on the machine, you're gonna break it, and I wouldn't call it my plan for the day to buy this arcade a whole new one."
Slipping out of her seat, she stretched out a bit, definitely more relaxed now than she had been in a while. This was fun.
"So, had enough? Want to try something else?"

Of course, she’s pulling one of his classics. The smugness of her expression is enough to drive him insane. However, he won’t let himself revert into a child before her that easily. He took his frustration out on the machine as he needed. Now, he’s calm. Yep. Totally calm, calm enough to tie her up and throw her into the sea. Anyway, it’s just a game. He’ll get over it. His claws haven’t been clipped yet. In fact, he has an idea of how he can show her just how sharp they are.
“Ya know what?” He started as he rose from his chair. “Ya got me, but I need to go use the restroom. Go find another game, and I’ll come find you, alright?”
He’s not waiting for her to respond, though. Already, he’s walking off, but, instead of heading to the bathroom, as soon as he feels safe, he makes a beeline for the claw machine. Alright. He inserts some money and gets started. He’ll show her. What better way to get back at a gal than to surprise her with something they really want? Then, you make them beg for it or something mean. Yeah, that’ll teach her. The claw moves, it goes down, and then, the bunny just slips right between it. What the fuck? He puts in some more money, another miss. More money, another miss. His fist hits the glass as he inhales and exhales.
Alright. Whatever gods are out there watching, let him get this. He’s on his last coin. He inserts, moves the crane, grabs the bunny by its ass, and up it goes. Slowly, make it count. Almost, almost… And… Fuck. It fell right next to the hole. He’s going to scream. Anger takes over his senses, and he kicked the stupid claw machine, making it shake. He heard a soft clink. The bunny is gone. Wait. He reaches down and pulls it out. Hey! Fuck yeah. Rukia said not to break the machines, but a little roughhousing is exactly what the doctor ordered. He couldn’t help but pump his fist and put on a little celebratory dance. However, the giggles of a few women a few feet away stilled his shaking butt, a blush on his face. Dammit, time to retreat.
Away he goes, searching for Rukia.

Well, Rukia would have said something in response, but he was already gone. That was weird, but she wasn't going to ask any questions on a subject like that. That was all him. Shrugging it off, she simply made her way over to one of the rhythm games, a cutesy setup with all manner of over-exaggeratedly cute animals decorating the cabinet. Looking around to see if anyone else was watching said cabinet, she made her way over and stuck a few coins in. Now how did this work...
Well, she thought she had it, at least for a little but. But then there was some racket on the other side of the arcade that startled her enough to shake her rhythm, and before long she was looking at two consoling chibi animals telling her she'd failed.
Man...

She’s not at the fighting games or this thing called space invader. Is that a zombie game? He almost wanted to stop and try it, but he doesn’t really have any money left. Maybe he did get too mad. That’s how those games get you, piss you off enough until you feed them everything. Well, at least he got what he wanted out of it. Now, he just has to find… Ah, there she is. What’s she doing? Looks like a rhythm game. It also looks like she just lost a few minutes ago. Thankfully, he knows what’ll cheer her up.
“Hey, Rukia?” Walking up, his hands behind his back, he couldn’t help but wear a guilty grin. The fact he said he was going to the bathroom had completely skipped his mind. His thoughts are focused on how he’s going to deliver the good news. However, before he could say anything, that same group of gals from earlier appeared, surrounding him like vultures.
“Oh. Hey! You’re the guy that kicked that machine and got that stuffed bunny out, yeah? Ooh! Ooh! It was for a girl, wasn’t it? Ah, that’s so sweet.”
Of course, since he was heading towards Rukia, the women knew who to point out to Shiro. “Her? Is she your girlfriend? She’s kind of small, isn’t she? Why not come with us. We could use a strong guy like yourself. Not too bad looking either.”
Ah. Shiro’s eyes are practically spinning a bit now that he’s being pushed into a corner. “Hey. Wait. No….” He’s acting rather meek, but that’s to be expected when faced by a pack of female lions. The male can’t win against this kind of mutiny.

Huh? Well the racket by the UFO machine had been one thing, but it was pretty hard to ignore the pack of harpies accosting her company for the day. What was this moron doing? Though, judging from his reaction to the whole situation, it didn't actually look like he'd asked for any of this. Sighing to herself, mostly at the fact that she had to handle this, Rukia walked over with a fairly impressive degree of authority in her stride, pushing her way through the girls directly to Shiro.
"Hey, hands off. He's fragile."
Despite Rukia's intention of saving him from all this, she still couldn't quite help but give him at least a little bit of a hard time. It helped that she found this whole situation at least a little bit more irritating than most others. She couldn't stand girls like this.
"Come on, you."
Grabbing his hand, she pulled him off and away from there, right out of the arcade and onto the street. Her gaze when they made it out wasn't exactly angry, but it was at least marginally annoyed.
"You should really stand up for yourself, you know. If there was ever a time for those claws to come out, Mr. Lion, it'd have been there."

Fragile? He’s not a porcelain doll. However, he is being a little wuss. Normally, these girls would have been pushed to the curve, but it was so unexpected, and he had his mind so set on one thing, that the fact that something’s in his way fried his brain for a second. Honestly, he didn’t like the way they called Rukia small. Despite her stature, she has a rather large presence. He didn’t need to explain it either because everyone felt it when Rukia came over and stepped in the middle of the commotion.
The young women didn’t want to back down at first, but they also felt threatened for a second, an innate understanding that they may actually get into a fight. Now, that would really bum their day if they got banned from the arcade or something, so they let Rukia snatch Shiro away with only nasty remarks and silent gripes.
Shiro is rather grateful for Rukia. He would have gotten himself together and handled it, but the fact she stepped in so quickly saved him the brain cells. However, her words stung. Yeah. He should have acted sooner, but come on. It’s not nice to just bash people because they happened to inconvenience you. Ah. Somehow, through that whole commotion, he was able to keep one of his hands behind his back. His original goal is still accomplishable.
“Yeah. Guess I sort of got caught off guard there, but I guess it was my fault. They caught me getting a bit worked up, probably thought they could have a little fun with me.”
He revealed the bunny behind his back and held it out for her to take, an awkward half-smile on his face. So, this clears up some things. That noise near the crane machine was definitely him, and he lied about going to the bathroom. Hopefully, the stuffed animal would be enough to calm Rukia down a bit. After that, he doesn’t feel like taunting her and teasing her just to feel better after losing that racing game.
“I saw you were interested in that claw machine. When you said you liked bunnies, I just guessed you was staring at this little guy.”

Rukia could only blink in surprise as Shiro pulled the stuffed animal from behind his back, and after a moment or two, she let go of his hand so as to take it from him. What, he'd gone to win this just because he thought she'd like it? This idiot...
"...Thank you. It's...yeah, I like it."
She wasn't exactly sure what to say now. How was she intended to take a gesture like this? Was he taking this whole thing romantically? That wasn't what she'd ever intended for it, but that seemed like he was thinking about it that way. Maybe she was just overthinking things, but she doubted it.
"Well... Let's get going. We still have to get you some new clothes, and then we can get something to eat."
Great, now she was carrying this bunny everywhere. She didn't mind holding it, it was pretty cute. But it would probably give the wrong impression.

“Don’t mention it.”
Should he tell her he doesn’t have any money on him now? Well, he has a stash at home, but that’s not going to help him on Earth. At least he doesn’t have to buy any clothes for himself today. It’s weird having someone else buy you stuff, but Rukia did say she’s going to get him an actual wardrobe. She probably isn’t expecting for him to pay for that. It sounds expensive. Honestly, that bunny was expensive to get. Poor people problems, right? It’s funny because he doesn’t feel bad about spending so much for it. For some reason, it felt a bit worth it.
He hates this. One second, she’s his teacher. The next second, she’s not his teacher. God. He actually got her a stuffed bunny, and it wasn’t until she went commando mode on those girls that he remembered she’s actually a figure of authority. Getting her that bunny is probably sending the wrong signal. He doesn’t want to mention anything though because what if she’s not even thinking about that? What if this is just a friendly gesture to her? Bringing up that he didn’t mean it romantically might make things weird.
“Shopping time. Yay. Don’t put me in any weird outfits, alright?”
It’s best to just leave it be and get things moving. They burnt a bit of daylight in the arcade. He does wonder where they’ll be shopping at. Someplace expansive with fancy suits and stuff or a more local shop with some casual options? Choices and choices, but it’s all up to Rukia to decide what she wants for him.

"Weird outfits? Who do you think you're talking to? I like to think I know a thing or two about clothes."
It was good to have the topic of conversation change, mostly because it made Rukia feel like she'd just overthought all that. Shiro might not have been the brightest, but he wasn't so stupid that he would treat this all like a date. Smiling with a bit of relief at that thought, she headed into one of the nicer-looking shops in town. It was trendy, looked like they had more modern designs. She liked it, definitely not the sort of stuffy outfits she usually saw people spending too much money on.
"Alright, what do you think you'll be after? Probably something comfortable, right? I don't see you being the type who wants to get uncomfortable just to look good. So we can get you into some jeans I think, or maybe some slacks? But you're not exactly formal, are you?"
Rukia wasn't really the type to get too caught up in things most of the time, but she definitely knew enough about fashion to at least get a little bit into it. Call it something she'd just picked up over the years.

“Eh? I wouldn’t mind something classy, maybe a suit or two. I’m not that lazy, you know?”
His protesting is for jest, but, thinking about it, he probably does come off as the type who barely thinks about fashion. He wouldn’t mind a few sophisticated outfits to go with his collage of everyday clothing. Rukia sounds like she knows her way around a few pair of jeans. He wonders if she ever took the time to judge him based on his looks. Most people would probably just think he’s a bum and keep it moving. He wouldn’t have blamed her if that was her initial thought as well. To be honest, who could blame her if she still thinks that way about him. It’s not like he ever took the time to dress up for any of their outings. Right now, he has on a black-T with a flimsy Hawaiian shirt over it. Talk about classy, yeah?
“Yeah… A few dress shirts, a few cool coats or jackets, some slacks and jeans, accessories, and do you think I’d look good in a top hat?”
Well, the top hat wasn’t a serious question. Everything else was. He’s going to take this a bit seriously. Not to call himself out, but he should start presenting himself a bit more orderly. She’s a Noble, and he should respect that. Even if he doesn’t particularly care how others see him, he at least doesn’t want to squander her image. Besides, he wonders what he’d look like with a bit of money.
