You'd Better Run

"P-Pardon? May you please repeat that?"

For the millionth time without hesitation, Hibiki Wataru had repeated his words whilst showing her the costume that he had prepared for the theatre club. It was a long maid dress with detailed frills, also coming along was a head accessory, white stockings and black, glossed shoes. Words started repeating in her mind as she scanned the costume from head to toe with a blank expression before gaping her mouth wide.

Crossdressing my own gender now!?

She fell silent as Wataru cleared his throat. "We seem to have a troubled Tomoya-kun who won't accept this fabulous costume! I had asked Anzu-san, but apparently, she had some work to attend to. If you'd accept, that'll be amazing for me!"

Her train of thoughts rewinds to when she met Tomoya, the one who reminded her to avoid a 'masked pervert' who was the president of the theatre club...

Why do I meet him now, of all times!? Surely I'd like to decline and stay as a male for now...but he seems like he tried really hard on finding a compatible person to wear this costume that looks hella cute.

"I-I don't mind, senpai..." She managed to mumble as she took the costume and sparkles appeared in her eyes. It wasn't that she loved cosplaying nor wearing pretty costumes, (Y/n) enjoyed the feel of acting as someone she was dressed as. Her shyness would usually wear away and a new 'her' appears. "Senpai tried really hard to find someone for this right? Anzu-senpai wanted me to rest, so I don't really mind to help you out."

"Fabulous!"

I know right? I'm fabulous. (lol)

"What is this costume blessed with beauty!?" She exclaimed as she twirled on the tips of her toes and landed with an unusual feel to the heels. The hem of her dress twirled in unison to her actions, creating a likeable swift. Seeing that Wataru removed her cap, which she was self-conscious for people to see, finally didn't mind it as Anzu told her that ever since Anzu had enrolled, she finally got used to men having long hair. Her platinum blonde hair had one corner plaited to the left, tied with a white ribbon as it waved smoothly with the headband resting securely on her head. "I'm gonna go out a bit, Hibiki-senpai! This looks amazing!"

Dismissing herself to have some fun before starting his request, she dashed around the halls without even caring about the stupid school rules that she tried with all her might to remember. Sometimes she went stealth mode when she saw some of the teachers before skipping along once again.

Big mistake.

"Waah!" She shrieked as she stepped back with fright. Since her school loafers had taller heels, she finally noticed she wasn't even the average height of a first-year female. Without her loafers, she couldn't feel superior or anything. Finally coming to a conclusion that it was just Adonis, who was passing by with his lunch filled with meat, she sighed and bowed in politeness. "Sorry for getting shocked over nothing, Otogari-senpai."

She looked at him with confusion as he scanned her as if he no longer knew who she was.

"I'm (B/n), senpai."

"Well that's surprising," he said with a relieved smile, something (Y/n) hadn't seen and felt a tingly feeling in her. "What's with the costume?"

(Y/n) cleared her throat and explained everything in full detail, from getting a break to meeting Wataru and even given a request for the theatre club. "With this costume, I really look like a female."

"That's why you should eat more meat so you can become strong," he answered and popped a piece of meat in her mouth whilst her mouth was open. She silently chewed it and swallowed before adoring the taste. Deciding it was time to do some more 'exploring', she thanked him for the piece of meat and walked away with a thought in her mind.
