Some of those are things he's found for himself. [ the odd little trinkets that are scattered about with no meaning and all the meaning. he's like a magpie in that way, collecting whatever catches his eye and khun can relate. ]
And he needs these for our next date. [ catch them dressing up and accessorizing for those in full style.
but akira likes red too, huh. khun just waves a hand at the rest of the red sunglasses in the store. there's a good variety to choose from! ]
You're rather forward, even when you're playing around. To think you wouldn't be even more so when you found someone you were interested in would be foolish... and I doubt that Tatara was the first person you ever liked.
[ looks at their threads and gazes. it's slightly more complicated than that but kurapika is basically right anyway so he doesn't try to argue that point. ]
He wasn't. [ in an uncharacteristic gesture he tucks a strand of hair behind his ear for want of some kind of movement. ]
Baam never noticed and I was fine with that.
[ baam might actually be blind, but khun has the patience of a saint somehow? ]
[ But he gets it, honestly. Some people are oblivious, especially when it comes to the way people feel about them in particular—Kurapika is like that too. ]
Sometimes it's better to leave things as they are, so I can't fault you with being fine with that either.

[ They usually just pick up tailored suits for him, though, so... it doesn't matter much.
Kurapika looks in one of the mirrors, frowning as he turns his head side to side. ]
They look fine.
no subject
Then what's the frown for?
no subject
[ He's too used to basic accessories that this feels excessive. ]

no subject
...These are fine, in fact, they're perfect.
no subject
Don't think you could pull them off? Not many people could. [ but they can go with those and khun nods, putting them back on the shelf. ]
Since I'm buying these for you, are you going to get Akira anything?
no subject
[ And he doesn't want to try to pull them off either. He'd rather not embarrass himself.
As for getting Akira something? He shakes his head. ]
I'm not so sure. I'd rather not grab something random for him... I need to put thought into anything I give him.
[ That's what Akira prefers, after all. ]
no subject
[ khun moves over to where the shaded color sunglasses are, immediately focusing in on the red section. ]
no subject
[ So he can't pick something out and have it be "good enough". ]
no subject
after another moment of looking, he picks up a pair of red ones. ]
These are perfect.
no subject
[ Which means they do suit Akira. Kurapika holds out his hand so Khun can hand them over and let him get a closer look. ]
no subject
[ slaps his hand away like a cat!
...they are loud, but they're loud in a uniquely tatara way he thinks. they stand out, but not too much. ]
no subject
...So does Akira.
[ Specifically Kurapika's eyes when they change—but that's information he's keeping locked up tight unless Khun manages to pry that out of him. ]
Does he even have enough from for all the gifts you shower him with? His room already had plenty in it when I visited him over a month ago.
no subject
And he needs these for our next date. [ catch them dressing up and accessorizing for those in full style.

What is your next date?
no subject
no subject
no subject
Why'd you ask? Looking for date ideas?
no subject
[ In other words, he lacks experience. ]
no subject
You know I haven't dated before either, right?
no subject
What?
no subject
no subject
[ Sorry, Khun??? ]

...How could he not have noticed? You're obvious.
