This fic is actually inspired by one of the pics found in the mook...It's the one on pages 22-23, which is a "photo" of the Weiss guys posing by the seaside in their summer clothes. Their outfits look too...strange, to say the least. ^^VV So this is my attempt to explain why they have wonderful clothes such as those. (Oi sounds like I'm writing an essay or something. o.O)

Uh, let me correct that. Ken and Omi were working, but Youji was just standing around, smoking his cigarette. And complaining.
"Where on heck is Aya anyway? We're all working like hell and he's out there having fun. He should get his butt in here!" A white puff of smoke escaped from his mouth.
"Anou, Youji-kun, you're not wo…" Omi began. Ken gave him a look that shushed him. He knew that whenever Youji was smoking and complaining, it meant that he was not in a good mood.
"Probably got no dates for tonight," Ken thought with a little smile on his lips.
Just at this moment Aya walked into the shop, carrying a big paper bag.
A cheery greeting was heard from Omi, who ran up to Aya to see what he had in his hands.
"Nice of you to visit, Aya-kun." Youji said sarcastically as he glared at Aya above his sunglasses.
Aya gave him a Death Glare ™ and ignored his comment. "Well, as you were all busy--" at this Aya gave Youji another glare "-working in the shop, I was out buying clothes for all of us."
The other three Weiss members sweatdropped. Youji's cigarette practically fell out of his mouth as his jaw dropped. They all remembered the last time Aya bought clothes for them. They were x'mas presents actually, which explained why the sweaters and pants were all in red and green. To top it all off, Aya even included little red knit hats. He had proudly declared at that time that they were very good deals, as all the clothes were 75% off the regular price. On Boxing Day the boys had gone back to the department store behind Aya's back to return the clothes.
So this time the boys expected nothing but the worst. And unfortunately, they were right.
"…a lot of people going to the beach, so I rented a space at the boardwalk to sell flowers during the weekends. I'm sure we can get more profits that way. And since we're at the beach, I thought we should wear something more appropriate." At this Aya held up a piece of pink…something…for the others to see. His cheeks were flushed from his excitement. "This is for Omi. I got this for 50% off. Here." And he handed the clothing to the other boys, oblivious to the grimace on their faces.
The weekend finally arrived, and the 4 assassins/florists were in their beach clothes, ready for action….
…Actually, only Aya was ready, as the other 3 were still in their respective rooms, fussing about this and that. Obviously they were trying to stall for time so they didn't have to embarrass…er, present…themselves in those clothes.
Aya was starting to lose his temper as he went from room to room, banging on the doors to get the guys to come out. Time, as well as profits, were slipping away, and Aya hated it most when he lost his money-grabbing opportunities because of three uncooperative colleagues.
"Come out NOW or else I'll run down the doors!!!" Aya roared as his patience finally ran out.
The three guys slowly came out, and when they saw each other, they almost laughed out loud. Almost, because they saw Aya glaring at them and fuming.
Aya, for once, was wearing something that showed his pale, pale arms. Ken nosebled at the sight. Aya had a red v-necked t-shirt on, which made him look even paler, and a pair of brownish pants that were so huge that they looked like a dress on him.
However, Aya must have really loved those pants (probably because they were really cheap), as he also got a pair for Youji, but in a darker color. To go with the pants, Aya has chosen a black, sleeveless turtle-neck for him. However either Aya has chosen the wrong size, or Youji was just too tall, because the turtle-neck didn't even cover his belly-button. When he saw Youji came out in that tight top, all the anger in Aya had vanished, and he nosebled. Youji sweatdropped, and proceeded to find some kleenex for his leader, in the meantime tried to get his outfit dirty so he could have an excuse to change out of them.
As for Ken…Aya must have wandered to the wrong section of the store when he saw sale signs all over the place. Because what Ken was wearing was definitely from the women's section. He was wearing a white sleeveless top with small blue polka-dots, and a pair of navy-blue shorts to match. "D*mn," Ken thought, as he was trying to stop his nosebleed, "I hope I won't get mistaken for a bishojo today…"
Omi was standing around helplessly, watching the two older Weiss boys fussing with their noses. He glanced down at his own clothes, and suddenly had yet another flashback -- a woman dressing him up in pink clothing when he was a toddler. For at the moment he was wearing a pink tank-top with *extremely short* powder blue shorts. Omi frowned. He made a mental note to himself to talk to Manx about this the next time she came over with missions. Maybe she could make it a rule that banned Aya from shopping for them…
At this moment Youji came back with a box of kleenex for Aya and Ken. 10 minutes later, they were all ready to go. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Hmm I wonder who that could be?" Aya asked. However no one went to answer the door. Youji, Ken, and Omi were doing something and everything to avoid confrontation with other people in their "summer clothes".
"Please don't let it be Ooka, please don't let it be Ooka, please…"
"Please don't let it be Yuriko, please don't let it be Yuriko…"
Youji just left the room.
Aya gave them a Glare (tm) then went to open the door himself. And in came…
"Farfarello????" Ken and Omi practically yelled out the name. Aya just stared at this unexpected visitor.
"What do you want." Aya said in his most dangerous voice.
"I..." At this moment Farfie noticed what his favorite enemies were wearing, and he stopped his speech in short. His eyes widened as he looked at the clothes of the 3 Weiss members.
"What is taking you so long, Farfarello?" Schuldich suddenly showed up behind Farfie. As he saw a scowling Aya and the other two embarassed Weiss assassins in their new clothes...
"Bwahahahahahahha! What are those things that you're wearing? Hallowe'en costumes?! Oh no, you're doing a cosplay of some stupid anime characters, right? Hahahahaha!"
At this Aya just shut the door in their faces. He would've killed them, but he didn't have his katana nearby at the moment. Ken and Omi could see that Farfie was still stunned and Schuldich was laughing on the floor when the door closed on them.
The three Weiss members were standing there in awkward silence.
"Anou, Aya-kun...?" Omi began.
Aya's eyes narrowed. "Omi, we Weiss are *not* going to be laughed at by our enemies. Go change now and I'll take all of you to get some nice, expensive designer clothes. That'll show them..." At this, Aya started walking away to his room.
Once Aya was out of earshot, Youji came running back into the room. Ken went to open the door. Schuldich and Farfie were still there.
"So did it work?" Schuldich asked, grinning.
"Worked like a charm. Thanks for putting on a great show, guys." Youji said.
Ken was laughing. "Youji you do know Aya well, don't you?"
"Yep." He ran a hand through his hair and lighted a cigarette. "I knew he'd do anything to save his face, especially in front of his "enemies". Good thing I thought of calling Schwarz over when I went out to get the kleenex!" And everyone laughed.
And so, Weiss went out to get some decent clothing for once, and they were never seen wearing funny-looking clothes again...well not in front of Schwarz or Schreint anyway.
