Shun blinked as Mitsu turned to point the phone towards him to get the camera in place. He furrowed his brow for a moment, then hesitantly said, "If you really want to..?"
It didn't really matter that much to him, but he hoped she wasn't expecting him to smile or anything of that sort.

Mitsu nodded and turned around to have a better vantage point but seemed a little puzzled by Shun's rather blank expression. Weren't people normally supposed to smile for photos? Though now that she thought about it she had never seen him smile.
Afraid to ask him Mitsu went ahead and clicked the picture baffled by the options it brought up immediately after. Send it, store it, among many others. Wow this was overwhelming. But look! She could attach the picture to a phone number. If she attached it to Shun's number his picture would pop up when he called! Mitsu's excitement only lasted a couple of seconds when she realized she would probably never see his picture pop up on her phone. He would probably never call.
Resigned to that fact Mitsu store his picture to his number anyway and then turned to the little miced tea sitting on Shun's shoulder. "Your turn, Ben."

At least Shun had stayed still for the picture. Once she was done with that, he moved again, but paused as she seemed to not quite be finished as he thought.
Bent-Tail tilted his head as the camera was pointed at him. Blinking, he stared at it before sitting up on his haunches and waved to the lens. It seemed that he had some notion or idea of what was going on here. Either that or he just felt like waving. It was hard to say what went on in a mini's mind sometimes.
"How do you like it so far?"

There was a smile that couldn't be seen as Mitsu snapped the picture of Bent and saved it into the phone. Oh! She hadn't even thanked Shun yet. The lupine had been so overwhelmed by everything she had forgotten her manners. "I-I like it. Thank you so much." She would be sure to take good care of it since it was very much like a gift in her mind and not a replacement.
"I really do mean it thank you." Her voice was a bit softer and very sincere as she held the phone carefully in her hands. "And thank you...for being willing to take me to the dance." She hadn't forgotten about that. Shun was being so nice to her, it felt like a wave of happy had just crashed down on her full force and refused to let up. Mitsu wasn't quite sure how to react or what to say so instead she settled on stepped toward Shun to give him a hug.

Placing his hands back into his pockets, Shun nodded to Mitsu as she thanked him. Though, in his mind, there really wasn't anything to be thanked for since it was his fault her old phone had broke in the first place. With their business finished here, he was about to turn to head on out of the building, but paused as she thanked him again.
The reaper looked back towards the werewolf, noting the soft words. It seemed like what he had done really meant a lot to her. Maybe the decision to take her to the dance won't end up biting him in the a** later on after all.
When she stepped forward, he stared at her, not sure what she was going to do but then tensed slightly as she hugged him. He didn't struggle away, but it was not something he was accustomed to in the slightest. Shun just stayed rather still, not sure what to do here.
"..You're welcome," he said quietly once the shock of being hugged wore off.

Feeling Shun tense up under her touch Mitsu didn't linger in the hug. It had seemed like a good idea but maybe he didn't want to her to be so close. Drawing back her arms Mitsu took a step back now feeling a little awkward but he had given her a reply so maybe he wasn't offended.
After a few moments Mitsu started for the door again so they could finally leave the store, carefully placing her new phone in her pocket. "D-Do you know how to dance, Shun?" It was more on the subject of Prom, Mitsu was still trying to work out her problem with what to wear. Maybe she could find something nice at one of the thrifty stores or even try to make something. Mitsu wasn't bad with sewing but her had never made anything as elaborate as a dress before. Just hoodies and jackets.
Milo had been quiet this whole time, flopped over Mitsu's shoulder in a bored manner. He wanted to be outside and play with Bent-tail. As it was this trip was very boring for the little boafox. He had been napping most of the day now it was time to stretch his legs.

Shun relaxed again once Mitsu let go. He still didn't really know what to make of the hug, but he decided to dismiss it. As they started to walk towards the door, he blinked at the question she had asked. Dancing?
"Kind.. of.." he murmured. The reaper didn't dance. But he kind of knew how to do it.
Looking over towards Milo, Bent-Tail tilted his head and gave a little squeak in the fox's direction. He wanted to play too but right now just didn't seem like a good time to be doing that.

"Kind of?" Mitsu questioned looking up at the reaper as they made their way outside and onto the sidewalk.
"I can't dance at all," Mitsu admitted quietly, though Shun had bore witness to her ability to be clumsy at the open house. "I like to watch though." That certainly wouldn't be something they would be doing at prom least Mitsu injure herself or others.
"Y..you really don't have to take me if you don't want to..." She added. Mitsu was certain he would have much more fun with someone else.

"I don't dance," he explained. It wasn't entirely true, but it was when he was coherent at the very least. But at least it seemed like she didn't have the intention of dragging him onto the dance floor. Though, at her next comment, he paused and glanced towards her.
"I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to," Shun murmured.

"I just...didn't want you to think I was dropping hints to make you take me. Not that I don't want to go. I would really like to.....and it made me happy you asked me." She mumbled the last part so quietly it would be a wonder if Shun could even hear her. In fact, the more she thought about it the more embarrassed she felt. He...had asked her to the dance. Well, sort of. There had been no real asking but he was going to take her and keep her company. That was enough.
"Wait..." Mitsu's mind seemed to finally wrap around something as she gave it more thought. She had read about this scenario in books before and heard the other ghouls talking about it. "Would it be like a date?" Apparently she hadn't put much thought into the question as it slipped out of her mouth. The lupine really didn't know the first thing about actual dating.

Shun had just barely heard that mumbled part, but he didn't quite make out all of it. So he didn't pay much heed because of that. Once outside, he looked down the streets, trying to think if there was anything else he needed to pick up before heading back to the school. They were in town now after all. Oh wait, there was something. He needed some more FEAR candy for Bent-Tail.
Before mentioning this, he paused at Mitsu's questions. Was it a date? He had to think about that for a moment, not knowing how to answer. In any case.. he felt a little awkward right about now.
"Dates are generally romantic," he replied, not really giving a straight answer. Outside of that, he didn't know much about dates or love or any of that sort himself. The reaper had very very little experience when it came to love of any kind.

"Oh....romantic." Mitsu nodded as if she were learning something important. "Then it would be....hanging out then?" That was the other term she had heard of. Hanging out. This seemed to be quite the step in her anti-social existence.
As if tuning into Shun's thoughts Mitsu had a look around. "Was there anything else you needed while we are out?"

Since Mitsu seemed to have gotten the idea, Shun nodded to her. Hanging out was definitely the more accurate term he felt. As far as he could tell, he wasn't trying to woo her or anything like that.
"Actually yes. I need more FEAR candy for Bent-Tail," he said. While the mouse could eat other things, the FEAR candy was generally best for the minipets. He didn't often have to buy the stuff as the only had Bent to take care of and the little guy didn't eat a whole lot in the first place.
"..."
Though unfortunately, Shun wasn't quite sure where the minipet store was.

"Oh, FEAR candy, I should probably get some for Milo." Looking up and down the street Mitsu tried to remember where she had seen the place. She had gone once before.
"I think it was this way?" She pointed in one direction though her tone was a little unsure. None the less she started in that direction. They could always ask directions right?

Oh good. It appeared that Mitsu knew where they needed to go, even if she sounded a little unsure. Nodding, Shun went on to follow her. It most likely wasn't too far off or even that hard to find, but it was better to have some sense of direction of where he needed to go.
The miced tea's ears twitched at the mention of FEAR candy. There was one brand that he really enjoyed and he was getting excited at the thought of it. Real food was good too, but FEAR candy always just seemed to hit the spot with him!
"How far is it?" the reaper asked.
