Nate, Jake, and I watch a few comedies and then play dress-up. But it was more cosplaying than dressing up. Everyone picked someone else’s name out of a hat and got to choose that person’s outfit from the cosplay closet. I got Nate! I cannot wait to see what he will look like in what I choose for him.
Adam got Jake, Jake got Adam, and Nate got me. I’m thankful Jake didn’t get me; he would’ve made me wear something embarassing. Adam is going first, then me, then Jake, then Nate. Jake and Adam go into the walk-in closet and shut the door, Nate and I listen closely as if we could hear a hint of what he might be coming out as.
“I’m going to kill you if you are seriously making me go out in this!” Adam yelled. Jake responded but I couldn’t quite hear him through the door. About one minute later Jake opened the door and sat on the couch in between Nate and me. I was about to complain when the closet door creaked a tiny bit, gaining all of our attention.
Adam stumbled out the door in a school uniform. He was wearing glasses, not ones that are super nerdy but glasses all the same; they looked kind of hot on him. He was carrying an armload of books and almost dropped then on the floor but caught them just in time. We all clapped as Adam bowed, carefully holding his books from hitting the floor. “He wouldn’t wear the one I wanted him to so I had to go with the nerdy look,” Jake explains.
It’s my turn so Nate and I get up and go into the cosplay closet. This is the biggest walk in closet I have ever seen it’s as big, if not bigger than my old apartment. Nate is on the girl side of the closet in my size and is looking through the costumes briskly.
He has long, slender fingers like a pianist would have but they look so thin and fragile. Nate stops at a blue garment and looks at it then at me then at the costume once again. He pulls it off the hanger, giggles, and gives it to me on his way out the door. He shuts the closet door behind him and I take a good look at the costume he chose for me.
It is a fairy costume; the fabric is blue like a sapphire and is mostly see through. I take off all my clothes (except for my underwear of course) and pull the dress over my head. The end of my dress touches my upper thighs, even the wings I put on are blue but they have small silver jewels sewn into the fabric so they sparkle every time I move. A small tiara is with the dress too, so I put that on as well.
I glance in the mirror behind the closet door and gasp. This dress is so short and revealing! I have shirts longer than this! There is one more thing I forgot to put on it looks like it fell on the ground. I walk to pick it up and see that it is like two small vines. But they are silver with blue jewels throughout it. I entwine the vines around my ankles and keep twisting them until it reaches the undergarment part of the dress where it is supposed to latch on. The other vine thing is shorter and only reaches the top of my calf.
I take a deep breath and crack the closet door just a bit. “I hope it’s something sexy,” says Jake, “Would she be in a school girl uniform or a maid outfit or-,” I open the door a bit more since I can’t hear too well and the door creaks.
All three sets of eyes are on the door as I take a very deep breath and walk out in front of the guys. Nate smiles and blushes a bit, clapping his hands when I take my bow. Adam’s face is bright red and he starts clapping a bit late and looks somewhat embarrassed. Jake is clapping as soon as I walk out the door as has a big, goofy grin on his face with a teeny bit of red coloring his cheeks. I sit down beside Nate as Adam and Jake go back into the cosplay closet for Jake’s turn.
“Why did you make me wear something so embarrassing?” I ask Nate quietly. He turns to look at me and smiles a bit. “Because you look pretty in it and I thought it would be fun to see you like that. Since you are so pale the blush on your cheeks lit up your face while the blue of the dress contrasted with you hair and skin,” Nate said as though he were an expert in these things. I pout and tell him I will get him back for this.
Adam comes back out chuckling to himself. The door closes behind him and he sits down. Nate and I pester Adam, trying to get him to tell us what Jake is dressed as. The door creaks five minutes later signaling the model is about to show himself. Once the door is wide enough for us to see him he carefully walks toward his amazed audience. Jake is dressed like a ninja! Oh. My. God. He is so hot! He has a jet black material for his ninja pants and for his half-mask that only covers his mouth. Jake is shirtless and I can see his muscular chest. We all sit frozen as he walks up to us and grabs my hand, kissing it gently. Adam starts the clapping first then Nate and I join in. Jake gives a bow and sits down as Nate and I go into the closet for his costume. “What size do you wear?” I ask.
“Extra small.”
“I don’t see any extra smalls on the guy’s side, I guess you have to wear something from the girl’s side,” I say with happiness. I get to have my revenge, I smile at this thought. My fingers shuffle through the dresses and other outfits on the girl’s side until I stop at the perfect one. I get the bag full of the accessories that go with it and toss it to Nate. He looks it over and goes pale, even paler than his snowy complexion was in the first place.
I skip out the door and sit on the couch by Adam, as far as I can get from Jake’s perverted stare. The front door bangs shut and we all turn out heads to see Sho with a mountain load of grocery bags. Adam and Jake get up to fill him in on the game we are playing and pull him over to see me. I blush so hard that I wouldn’t be surprised if my cheeks burst into flames. Sho has his eyes on the floor, trying not to look at me too much but everyone can see the raging blush on his face. Adam and Jake laugh as Sho and I get redder and redder when a creak interrupts us.
We all turn to look at the closet, Sho looks confused. “Who is that?” Sho asks before Nate opens the door. “You’ll see,” Jake says while we all stare at the closet’s door intensely. A jingle sounds as Nate walks through the door and everyone gasps.
Nate is wearing the cutest and most embarrassing outfit I could find. He has a collar on with a bell on it and cat ears that match his hair color perfectly. A long, blonde furry tail comes from the back of the black mini-mini skirt. And a black halter top is above his belly button. All the guys are blushing and I doubt he’s really a boy. He is too cute! Everyone erupts is applause and Nate gives a small bow and scurries to the couch. Since Sho sat down there is no room so I scoot closer to Sho and make room for Nate. Sho and I are pushed together so tightly I can hear his heart beating fast as mine.
“Sho this is Nate, Nate this is Sho,” Adam says. Nate takes his eyes off the floor for the first time since he came out of the cosplay closet and realizes there is another person here with us. His face is surprised at first then happy, as a large grin spreads across his face. He jumps off the couch and leaps onto Sho, giving him a huge hug. “Sho! I didn’t expect to find you here! I was going to your house but got lost but this kind girl helped me. Oh I’m so happy I finally get to see my Sho again,” the little boy said. Sho looked stunned then something flashed in his eyes. “What’s wrong Sho?” I ask Sho quietly.
My fingers work to pry of this little boy’s hands as I carefully watch Sho’s face slowly melt out of its shocked form. “How do you guys know each other?” Adam asks obviously worried for Sho’s sake. “Sho is my brother,” Nate said simply. He then gives Sho a huge hug and seems to whisper something in his ear.
“Enough!” Sho yells as he shoves Nate off of him and stands up, “I am tired of this Nate! I am here in the competition for the princess’ love! Why did you come here? You knew how it was going to be! You are the reason I left my home in the first place! Just leave me be!” Sho shouted as he stormed up the stairs and slammed his door shut. Nate is on the ground and looks startled before his lip starts quivering and tears roll down his cheeks. Not a sound escapes him but I will not go and comfort him after he did that to my Sho. My Sho? What am I saying?
Jake still looks shocked at all this news and Adam looks confused. I slowly walk up to the room I’ve been sleeping in. I knock first then open the door quietly. Sho is sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. He is trembling. I quietly walk over to Sho and sit my hand on his shoulder. He doesn’t even look up he just sits there trembling and suffering quietly. I sit on the bed beside him and hug him. And I don’t let go of him until my vision goes black and all my senses go numb.
