I Feel Pretty

He blinked.

Inhale, exhale.

The blue cat of 14 adjusted the blonde bob wig he had gotten the day before. A small voice in his head pointed out how well the color suited him.

Slightly shaking fingers traced up and down the lightweight fabric that hung from small straps upon his shoulders. the fabric was not one he could define from his meager and near useless knowledge on the world of fashion and clothe-making. what he did know was that the small voice in his head believed the pale yellow color of the sundress suited him.

He had debated for awhile whether it was pertinent to buy shoes - maybe sandals - to complete the look he was attempting to achieve, but the sheer overwhelming nervousness that racked his body and his very soul upon his trip to the mall -a full town over- would have totally and utterly consumed him had he returned to buy shoes. The dress had been nearly too much by itself.

Gumball frowned.

He twisted his body to and fro, the small sundress was meant to be for young girls, so it didn't necessarily have darts in it for such things. He traced his hands down the front of the dress, finally coming to the hem of it and slightly stretching it apart and raising it slowly until he could catch a glance of the plain white boy briefs he always had. maybe he could muster up the courage to buy a pair of flower patterned ones. -Maybe blue…-

Gumball sighed as he brought a hand up to remove the wig and drop it carefully into the shoebox at his feet. Quickly stripping himself of the dress, he too placed that within the box. Kneeling down to place the top back on he carefully pushed it deep beneath his bed, making sure to cover it with a myriad of old socks and t-shirts.

A bang on the door made him freeze. He quickly got to his feet struggling to redress in his customary jeans and t-shirt.

"Gumball, mom says its time for dinner so hurry up!"

Gumball cursed as he slipped on a stray sock on the ground, tumbling as he struggled to pull his shirt over his head.

"Ah! O-ok! just gimme a sec!"

Dinner was the usual rambunctious affair of his father being messy and loud, his mother giving half hearted attempts to return order and his sister giggling gleefully. Gumball himself smiled and laughed too, although if anyone were to pay attention they would notice the smiles never truly reached his eyes. his mind adrift in confusion, self-loathing, and the ever present fear.

Fear.

He seemed to be full of it these days.

He feared the ostracization that was bound to come if -when- he was found out.

When people found out that he wasn't Normal.

Several instances before life and his crazy adventures had allowed him to indulge in his ever growing hobby.

He liked wearing dresses.

In the past he could've easily missed a day of school instead of wearing his mother's wedding dress but the urge had been too strong. His curiosity too strong. He had outwardly hated and dreaded the fact that he would have to wear a dress but inwardly...It had been one of the greatest feelings of his young life. It had been a tragically short experience and his confused yet forever hungry mind weeped at the loss.

Then came his mothers meddling. Situations had sprung together perfectly to gift him the opportunity to taste of the forbidden fruit. He hadn't needed to wear the cheerleading dress in the audition, but it had been glorious.

He had wanted to keep the outfit but the fear of being caught saw him toss it shortly after.

Gumball paused in his thoughts as he helped his sister with the dishes after dinner. maybe he could knick a pair of his mom's panties just to give it a try.

a small part of his mind told him the light blue would fit him well.

End?

This was just a small idea i had. I don't know if I will be adding to it further or leaving it as is. Reviews would be appreciated - Marcus B. (xXDasXGoochXx)
