Riptide ~ Vento Aureo

23 - Dirty Purple

March 19, 2001

It's been around 3.5 weeks since Y/N has joined.

Y/N hasn't left the house much, other than Grocery shopping and Gelato breaks.

But now, she seems to be less anxious about going outside.

Just for today, the gang wanted to just stroll around town to shop and whatever.

Not like Y/N hated it, but she didn't have any money.

Occasionally, Bruno would buy Y/N things she wanted, but for today, she didn't want Bruno to spend much for her.

She just wanted to stay with them for the time being.

As of right now, they were currently shopping at Armani.

Y/N didn't mind being in a shop, for now.

She'll probably just follow Mista and Narancia as they checked out clothing.

They mostly had suits though, as expected since Bruno was the one who suggested into going in.

But occasionally there were dresses and trousers for ladies.

What was surprising was that this Armani store came from an Italian Fashion Designer Giorgio Armani.

Y/N thought of Giorno.

"I can never wear suits", Mista grumbled as he looked at one.

"I dare you to wear this one!", Narancia held up a casual black suit to Mista.

Mista took it and wore it opened so that his sweater was still seen.

Surprisingly, it actually looked pretty good on him.

Narancia did the same as he picked out a leather jacket.

"Damn, this fits me pretty well", Mista complimented himself as he looks in the mirror.

Narancia giggled to himself as he posed in another mirror.

Y/N might have been imagining it, but Narancia was JoJo posing.

Is that considered as a fourth wall break?

Y/N would look at the dresses and trousers near the boys' isles.

There were also tuxedos and trench coats.

There was a particular light pink trench coat that took her notice.

The female walked towards the trench coat, about to inspect it until...

A person was walking the opposite way, taking a turn and bumping to her.

"Sorry", Y/N apologized to whoever that was.

It was a guy.

Not just an ordinary guy.

He wore a half-dark suit with matching gloves and suit. As well as a transparent purple mask. He also has a pretty long lavender hair that descends down on his shoulder.

"Sorry", he plainly said.

'Melone?!'

"Hmm? Why the long face?", he asked the girl in a comforting manner.

Not used to this personality, Y/N stepped back a little.

"It's nothing", she said under her breath as she looked away.

She could see his eyes drift past her towards her legs. She could personally see him lick his lips.

'Oh god, why the hell is Melone here?'
