Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart Chapter 113 - 112

During the past week, he dragged Michi to different kinds of restaurants, tasting unique dishes and cuisines from all around the world. He wanted his brother to join them but for so reason, Sora had not visited in a long ti. Even Saika complained that Sora hadn’t paid her a visit in weeks. Anyway, he wasn’t really bothered because Sora had disappeared many tis before. Hiro didn’t think much of it for he was sure that Sora would show up whenever he was ready.

Michi gasped beside him, his eyes lighting up as they passed a display of designer pants. "Look at that one Hiro!" He said, pointing to a hot pink pair of leather pants with gold accents. "You could totally pull that off."

Hiro chuckled, running his fingers over a silk shirt hanging on the rack. "No way. That’s your kind of style." He glanced at the price tag and let out a soft laugh. A month ago, he wouldn’t have been able to even step into the mall but now, money was no issue. He took out the black card and waved it in front of Michi with a smile. "Wanna take the pink pants?"

Michi bit his lower lip, his eyes wide as he stared at the pants. He really wanted them for they would match with his pink hair but the money wasn’t his to spend. "Are you sure I can take it? Wouldn’t that be too much?"

Hiro just took off the pants from the hanger and chucked it in Michi’s arms. "Just take the pants okay. Raiden said I can buy whatever I want. So far, we’ve only spent the money on food. You should get sothing too."

Hearing this, Michi didn’t waste any ti. "Omg! I’m gonna go try it on!" He then ran off excitedly towards the changing room.

Hiro continued to check out the shirts and ties but he didn’t seem to like any one. Michi ca back after a few minutes, catwalking in the tight leather pants. He struck a pose in front of Hiro and smirked. "Do I look hot or what?"

"Damn right you do." Soone whistled from the across the racks and Michi blew them a kiss.

Hiro couldn’t help but laugh. "Yeah those pants look amazing on you."

"Oh I know." Michi laughed, striking another pose while flipping his hair. "Thanks for getting the pants Hiro."

"You’re my best friend Michi. You can get whatever you want." Hiro replied genuinely. Michi had been the only one who helped him and protected him when things went bad. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for Michi so long as it was within his capabilities.

"Speaking of getting things, why have you been looking at ties and ugly shirts?" Michi asked when he saw Hiro pick out a plain teal shirt.

"I want to get Raiden a birthday present," Hiro replied, glancing at the shirt with uncertainty. "His birthday is tomorrow, and he’s coming back in the afternoon. I don’t know what to get him. I don’t really like the colors of these shirts, though."

Michi clicked his tongue and shook his head in disbelief. "Your man gave you a black card, and you want to buy him a shirt and tie for his birthday?"

Hiro scratched his head, feeling confused. "That’s bad?"

"Bad?" Michi burst into laughter. "It’s a disaster! Co on. I know what we should get him. Raiden will love it—and I’m sure you will too."

Before Hiro could protest, Michi grabbed his hand and practically dragged him toward the checkout to pay for the pants he’d chosen earlier. Once they hurried out of the shop, Hiro turned to his friend, curious.

"Where are we going?" Hiro asked, trying to keep up with Michi’s fast pace.

"You’ll see," Michi replied, flashing him a mischievous wink.

After passing by several luxury stores, they finally stopped in front of a particularly large shop. Hiro blinked in shock as they walked inside, realizing what kind of place it was.

He whipped his head toward Michi, whispering urgently, "An underwear shop?!"

"Correction, my naive little friend," Michi grinned. "A lingerie shop."

Hiro suddenly felt uncomfortable, his face heating up. "B-But isn’t this place for girls only?" He could see won all around them, browsing through racks of expensive bras and panties.

"Says who?" Michi scoffed. "n have the right to wear fancy underwear, okay? Which you will, for Raiden." He wiggled his brows in a suggestive manner.

Hiro felt his face burn even hotter at the thought. He shook his head, wanting to leave when a man wearing the store’s uniform walked up to them, smiling broadly. The attendant bowed respectfully. "Welco, guests. My na is Kenta. I’ll be your guide while you shop. Is there anything specific you’re looking for?"

Hiro wanted to bolt out of the store, but Michi quickly held him back, answering; "Yes, please. Tomorrow is my friend’s boyfriend’s birthday, and he wants to surprise him—if you know what I an." Michi winked at Kenta.

Kenta’s smile widened knowingly as he bowed again. "Of course. Please, follow ."

He led them to the right side of the store, explaining the different types of lingerie available—thongs, lace panties, stockings, and more. Hiro’s head was spinning as they arrived at the n’s section, and he was stunned to see such a variety of underwear for n.

Hiro picked up a pair of sleek black lace panties, admiring how soft they were. But his eyes widened when he noticed sothing. "Michi, this one is... open at the back."

The attendant, Kenta, laughed lightly. "Yes, sir. Those are crotchless panties, designed for easy access. Would you like to try them on?"

Hiro’s face turned scarlet as he shook his head vigorously, but Michi snatched the panties from the rack and stuffed them into Hiro’s arms. "He would love to," Michi said to Kenta, then grabbed a few more pairs in different colors. "Try these on too. And if you don’t, I’ll co in and make you wear them myself!"

Embarrassed, Hiro hurried into the changing room with the pile of lingerie Michi had selected. He couldn’t believe he was doing this, but Michi had a way of getting him into situations he never expected.

He slipped into the crotchless panties, surprised by how soft the lace felt against his skin. The black fabric clung to him perfectly, the open-back design causing him to blush even harder. He stared at himself in the full-length mirror, biting his lip. Would Raiden really like this?

Michi knocked on the door impatiently. "Have you tried them on yet?!"

"Yes!" Hiro shouted back, and Michi imdiately pushed the door open, squealing when he saw Hiro standing there in the black lace.

"This is perfect!" Michi said, clapping his hands. "It’s not tight, though, is it?"

Hiro shook his head, still feeling flustered. "It’s just right."

Michi bead. "Good! Now, try on the others." He stepped back, giving Hiro so privacy to change.
