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.
[ his smile is soft and genuine, warm despite everything else he is. tatara really might be on to something in that he has fire inside of all this ice. ]

...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.

What is your next date?

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?

[ Sorry, Khun??? ]

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

Honestly I was half expecting Tatara not to notice either. [ but his boyfriend's actually really intuitive and also you know, not blind.
khun waves a hand. ]
Baam had Rachel too, and I was content with just doing whatever I could to make him happy.
no subject
[ Depressing.
But Kurapika bites back that last word, simply because he likes Khun enough to hold his tongue. ]
Lucky for you, Tatara did notice. I think that he did works out better for you in the end.
