Third person point of view
They went to Aaron's room and Cecil looked around. Aaron went to his table and took out a notepad and pen. He gave it to Cecil. " Thanks ". Cecil took it and wrote down a few things. Aaron didn't understand most of them. Cecil put the book on the table. " Come here ". He beckoned Aaron who went closer.
Cecil started taking Aaron's measurements. He put the tape at his shoulder and measured down. " How long do you prefer your shirts ? " Aaron looked down. " The same length as the one I am wearing ". Cecil nodded. He measured it and noted it down. He then crouched. He put the tape in the place where Aaron's waist band was.
" Here ? " Aaron nodded. Cecil measured to the feet and noted that down too. He continued to take all kinds of measurements. " Turn around ". Aaron did as he was told. " You have nice shoulders ". Cecil said taking the measurements. " Thanks ". " It is so ideal ". " Really ? " Cecil nodded.
" According to me, if models have these kind of shoulders, a lot of things which are made will look sharp and elegant. It is definitely something I prefer ". Aaron nodded. " Turn around ". Aaron did as he was asked. " Raise your hands ". He did and Cecil moved forward putting his hands from behind and took the tape.
Aaron stopped breathing for a second there. They were too close that he could smell Cecil's shampoo. He let out the breath slowly when Cecil looked down. Cecil moved away a little. " Relax and lower your hands ". Aaron did. Cecil took the measurement and moved away. Aaron rubbed on his chest.
Cecil finished all the measurements. He put the pen aside too. " Do you want any specific type of suit ? " Aaron thought about it. " I wouldn't mind it being simple, but those people outside right now might not agree ". Cecil nodded. It was true. " Then... I will see and make something. It should be fine ". Aaron nodded.
" Did you make your own wedding dresses ? " Cecil shook his head. " It is from some other designer brand. Not custom made and not by me too ". Aaron nodded. " How did you feel wearing something someone else made on a special day like that ? " Aaron asked with a smile. Cecil chuckled.
He spoke while rolling the tape. " For your information, I do wear a lot of brands and those without brand names too. And I didn't care any less about what I was going to wear on that day. Above all, I am no big brand but I am super happy with how it is now ". " You don't want to go big ? " Cecil shook his head and put the tape in his pocket.
" I make clothes which I think people will find comfortable and want to keep wearing again and again. They can rough handle them a little and use it on daily basis. The prices are also set that way. So there is no need of high profits or big market. Mine is considerably not small anyway. More than anything, I prefer customer satisfaction ". Aaron smiled.
" That's nice ". Cecil smiled and tore the paper from the notepad. Aaron watched as Cecil checked it again. He saw a new side of Cecil. As someone he met not too long ago, he didn't know much about Cecil. But we learn something new every day. Not that he thought Cecil was not serious about his work.
As someone who handled so many he things, he knew how much it would take to have your own brand. But knowing how much passion he had.... it hit something different. Aaron did tell his parents that Cecil was hardworking and all but now when he heard him say all those, he knew he was right in guessing his character. He found it rather impressive.
He smiled looking away. And that way, Cecil definitely left a nice impact for himself in Aaron's mind and heart without actually knowing. Cecil folded the paper and put it in his pocket. " Shall we go out ? " " There is nothing to do anyway. Just sit here ". Aaron said plopping down on the couch. Cecil also sat down beside him.
Aaron was sitting sideways, facing Cecil. " Will you invite your employees ? " Cecil shook his head. " I didn't previously and won't even now ". Aaron nodded. " Then how will you get the dresses done ? " " I can just make them myself. Not like they will pry into it and ask in particular who it is for if I don't tell them ". " Right ".
Cecil looked around the room. It wasn't over the top extravagant and compared to the house it was rather minimalist. The room was considerably big. A desk to one corner, a big couch to rest on and to the other side of the room there was a bed which looked bigger than king size. He could see a few more doors which probably were leading to the bathroom and wardrobe.
" You also have good taste ". Cecil said and Aaron looked around. " Really ? " Cecil nodded. The main structure of the room was from back when he was a university student. He started living outside by himself when he was a junior and did so ever since. And nothing much has changed in the room except a few decorations.
" Thanks ". Cecil smiled. " Do you live outside ? " Aaron nodded. " How did you know ? " " It looks too neat to have someone living ". Aaron chuckled. " I do keep going back and forth ". Cecil nodded. " Your room was quite messy though ". Aaron commented. " I am someone who works ". Cecil said turning to Aaron.
Aaron raised an eyebrow. " And I don't ? " Cecil pursed his lips. " What I mean is, I work at home most of the time ". Aaron nodded. Cecil continued speaking. " And I am definitely clean. Maybe not so neat and a little bit messy ". Aaron laughed and shook his head. Cecil also smiled. He continued his observation of the room.
He also noticed a few frames hung on one of the walls. They were not any art pieces and looked like they were of the Knight family. He got up and walked to them. Cecil looked at each of them carefully. There were a few photos of their family all together and others of Aaron alone. They were of different ages.
