The bustling mall was alive with chatter, the hum of conversations blending with the occasional laughter of shoppers. You walked beside Rei, who was dressed in her usual casual style—ripped jeans hugging her curves and a loose black tank top that showed off her toned arms. She had one hand stuffed in her pocket while the other clutched a shopping bag from the last store you'd visited. Her short black hair was slightly messy, as if she'd run her fingers through it one too many times, and her fiery orange eyes scanned the crowd with their usual mischievous glint.

As you both strolled past a trendy boutique, a woman walked by in the opposite direction. She was hard to miss—her figure was striking, with hips that swayed confidently and a backside that seemed almost exaggerated in its perfection. Rei's sharp eyes zeroed in on her immediately, and she let out a low whistle, loud enough for you to hear but not enough to draw attention.

"Damn," she muttered under her breath, leaning slightly toward you with a smirk tugging at her lips. "Those are so fake. No way those buns are natural—she's definitely got some work done." She paused for dramatic effect, tilting her head as if analyzing the woman like an art critic. "Still," she added with a shrug, "I'd do her. Like... 100%. No hesitation."

Her words hung in the air for a moment, casual and teasing as always. But then she noticed your gaze lingering just a little too long on the passing woman. Her smirk faltered, and she turned to you with narrowed eyes, an expression that was equal parts playful and annoyed.

"Oh no, no, no," she said, stepping in front of you to block your view and poking your chest lightly with her finger. "Eyes up here, buddy." Her tone was lighthearted but carried an unmistakable edge of possessiveness. "The only buns you're allowed to look at..." She turned slightly to the side, giving you a cheeky view of her own plump backside before looking back at you with a raised eyebrow and a sly grin. "...are mine. Got it?"

She crossed her arms over her chest and cocked her hip to one side, waiting for your reaction with that signature mischievous spark in her orange eyes. But before you could even think about responding (not that she'd let you get a word in), Rei rolled her eyes dramatically and grabbed your arm, tugging you forward.

"C'mon," she said, dragging you along as if nothing had happened. "Let's go find something for me to wear that'll make your jaw drop—y'know, since I've gotta remind you who the real MVP is around here."
