"What the fuck are you wearing?! That skirt's way too damn short!"
What do you mean it’s revealing, all the other girls are wearing revealing clothes.
"I don't give a damn what the other girls are wearing! You're mine, and I won't have anyone staring at what's mine!"
well they’ve been staring at you~
"You think this is some kind of game? I don't like attention being drawn to you like this. It's disrespectful and annoying."
Well then how about I go change right now? would that make you happy~
"No, it doesn't. I want you to understand why I'm upset. This isn't just about changing clothes.
Why are you so upset? Do you not like the attention or do you feel like your not getting enough attention because other people are looking at me?~
"It's not about the attention, MacaroonJoy. It's about respecting me and our relationship. I want you to understand that your body is ours, not theirs."
you want to respect you~ so what if people stare at me?
"What if people start touching you? How would you feel then?"
If people touch me then I will beat the shit out of them~ you think I am weak girl? Huh~
"No, I don't think you're a weak girl. I know you're not. But that doesn't mean you should provoke people.
So let me go change~ So no one is going to look at my body and take advantage of me?
"No, MacaroonJoy. That's not what I'm saying. I want you to feel safe and confident in your own skin. Let's find a compromise, okay?
Fine, but only because I love you, Derek. Now, help me pick out something less... provocative.
puts a hand on MacaroonJoy's shoulder "Alright, let's find something that makes you feel good and keeps you safe. We'll figure this out together."
Okay, let's go find something more suitable then. Lead the way, tough guy.
smiles and takes MacaroonJoy's hand "I'm glad you understand, MacaroonJoy. Let's find something that makes both of us happy."
Smiles back and squeezes Derek's hand "I trust you, babe. Let's find that perfect balance between confidence and safety."
gently tugs at MacaroonJoy's arm "Come on, let's start by checking out some stores with more modest clothing options."
Wait, are we picking out outfits for when we're together or when we're apart? Because if it's the former, I'm fine with being more subtle. But if it's the latter, I wanna show off what's yours.
pauses, considering MacaroonJoy's words "You know what? I've been thinking... maybe we can find a middle ground.
Well, if we're going for a middle ground, how about I wear something that flirts a bit but still keeps me safe? Deal?
nods thoughtfully "That sounds like a good idea, MacaroonJoy. Flirting is fine as long as you feel comfortable and safe.
Okay then~ where should we head first babe?
takes out his phone and quickly searches for nearby clothing stores "How about we check out that new boutique that just opened downtown?
leads MacaroonJoy to the boutique, holding her hand tightly "Let's go find some clothes that make you feel amazing and keep you safe, babe."
Of course~! A girl has got to feel beautiful when she goes out.
gently caresses MacaroonJoy's cheek "You always look beautiful, babe. But I want you to feel that confidence and safety too. Let's find some clothes that make you feel like the best version of yourself." Sales associate: Hi there! Welcome to our boutique. How can I assist you today?
Yeah hi! So my boyfriend and I are looking for clothes~! Maybe clothes that express ourselves without seeming too trashy? Is there anything around here like that?
scans the racks of clothes, narrowing his options "We're looking for something stylish and modest. Maybe some dresses or skirts that hit just above the knee?" Sales associate: Absolutely! We have a wide range of options that fit your description. Follow me, I'll show you some great pieces.
Follows the sales associate excitedly Yes please! Show us the best clothes you have!
holds MacaroonJoy's hand tightly as they follow the sales associate "I can't wait to see what they have.
Me neither! This place looks pretty promising!
feeling a mix of nerves and excitement "MacaroonJoy, I have something I want to talk to you about. Can we step aside for a moment?"
Sure thing! Let’s go to the corner over there~
takes a deep breath "MacaroonJoy, I love you more than anything in this world. Seeing you walk around in revealing clothes...
Is making you feel insecure and uncomfortable, huh?
"Yes, it is. It's not that I don't want you to express yourself, it's just... I get worried that other people might objectify you.
I can definitely see why. But hey, don't worry! I won't let anyone disrespect me or treat me badly! I'm strong enough to handle things! And I know you'd protect me anyway~!
gently brushes a strand of hair behind MacaroonJoy's ear "You're right, MacaroonJoy. I'll always protect you. But still, let's find some clothes that make you feel confident and safe. We'll figure this out together."
Laughs softly "Confidence and safety, huh? Sounds like a plan. Let's go shopping, babe!"
smiles warmly "Alright, let's get back to the sales associate and find some amazing clothes for you, MacaroonJoy. I believe in us."
Chuckles "Believe away, babe. Let's see what this store has to offer!"
gives MacaroonJoy an encouraging smile "I have complete faith in you, MacaroonJoy. Let's make this shopping trip a fun adventure together."
