Disclaimer: I do not own Pandora Hearts or any of it's characters.
I love the idea of crossdressing, especially when the characters reactions are so funny! Oz is the only boy I can think of that would actually look like a girl wearing a skirt (like in the manga series) and he's just too cute, I couldn't resist!
The gang (Oz, Alice, Gilbert, Sharon and Break) was lounging around in the Rainsworth mansion's living room, just days before Halloween; and none of them had a costume, much less an idea. They sat there brainstorming until Oz had a brilliant idea.
"I've got a way to pick our costumes!" The blonde cried triumphantly.
"How?" Sharon asked, barely interested.
Oz smiled. "We write down an idea for each of us, put them in a hat and whatever costume we draw we have to wear!"
"Seems fair." Gilbert reasoned, taking off his hat and placing it face up on the table. Everyone wrote a costume description down on a slip of paper and tossed it in the hat, then Break shuffled them.
Alice reached in first, pulling out a paper that described a military officer. Break went next, getting the role of 'knight in shining armor'. Sharon had to be a fairy (no surprise there) and Gil got 'ninja'.
Oz was the last, taking the single piece of paper left inside the hat. When he read his costume he blushed a dark shade of red and yelled, "I am not doing that!" He threw the piece of paper at Gil, who read it aloud.
"School girl with a really short skirt..." Everyone was silent, the quite making Oz blush harder and harder until he couldn't take it anymore.
"I want a new costume!" He shouted, trying to take the paper from his valet and shred it to pieces.
Gilbert held it out of the blond's reach and said, "You have to stick with it; the rest of us are. And besides, you just said that we had to stick with out costumes."
"But you're not crossdressing!"
"Technically Alice is." Sharon said, backing Gil's argument up.
"Nuh uh! There are female military officers, and it didn't specify!" Oz cried, getting desperate.
Break suggested evilly, "We could always make your costume worse."
Oz gulped, too afraid to ask what he meant. He looked around the room hopelessly before reluctantly giving in. He had crossdressed before when they first met Yura, but it was different when he was wearing a dress. Now he had to wear a skirt that was severely revealing for a girl; not to mention a guy.
Sharon got right to work with creating the costumes (she didn't make Oz's, they just bought a girl's school uniform in his size), finishing the day before Halloween.
While everyone was hyped about the party they had planned, Oz dreadfully counted down the days to the event; he couldn't possibly loath his costume more. It would be so embarrassing, especially since they would be at Pandora!
The rest of the gang could tell whenever he thought of the party or Halloween in general, because he flushed a deep red when it reminded him of his attire for the holiday.
Finally, when the day came, everyone took turns getting into their costumes. Alice loved hers; she got to carry around a fake gun, and decided to go for a guy look instead of girl. Gil wore an all black suit and kept his hood down, since he didn't particularly like his costume. Sharon was in a flowing light blue dress, with fairy wings pinned to her back. Instead of her usual deadly fan, she wielded a wand that looked just as dangerous as her fan. Break was completely hidden underneath a thick layer of white armor, a sword hanging from his side in a scabbard.
Oz refused to change into his costume; but was eventually forced to by Gilbert, who practically dressed the boy himself. He exited the bathroom a dark tomato red, trying to yank down his miniskirt. He wore an all white shirt that matched the pleated skirt he had on, and also wore a pair of white thigh high socks. They had gone far enough to paint his nails a light pink and had him wear a white choker necklace with a heart dangling off of it.
No one laughed at him, but they all conveyed their feelings about the outfit through their eyes; he looked adorable. Oz whined, "Couldn't you have bought a longer skirt?"
"The card did say 'really short skirt.'" Gilbert said, starting to think that buying him such a short outfit wasn't such a good idea. The wind was picking up outside, spelling disaster for the blond.
Sharon glanced at the clock on the wall. "Oh my! We'd better get going before we're late!" She announced to the rest of the group as she headed outside.
Everyone followed behind her through the raging wind to the carriage awaiting (Gilbert gave Oz his coat to wear so his skirt didn't blow up and show anything). The ride to Pandora was comfortably quiet and short; and soon the gang was out of the carriage and inside the Pandora building.
Break and Sharon drifted away from Oz, Alice, and Gilbert early on, leaving them in the crowd of people. Gilbert got pulled away from Alice and Oz much to his and Oz's distaste; leaving the two teens to roam the rooms alone. Every three feet Oz was greeted by a man or woman complementing his adorable outfit; completely unaware that he was a guy. Alice stifled a laugh with every encounter, trying not to embarrass her contractor any more than he had to be. Even though torturing the blond was at the top of her priority list for every occasion, she had to admit, she kinda liked his outfit.
Oz noticed her staring at him, immediately pulling on his skirt again; severely paranoid. "What!?" He cried, checking to make sure the skirt was covering him.
"Nothing." Alice reassured her friend, trying to keep a straight face.
The two located a couch in the crowded space and sat down, talking to each other to pass the time. After several moments Gilbert found his way back over to them, calling his master's name. The boy looked in his valet's direction, smiling at the familiar face.
Gilbert sat next to Oz, pulling part of his skirt down over the boy's crotch as he did. Oz blushed an impossible shade of red, wondering how long it had been like that. He held his hands in his lap and held his legs close together, determined not to make the same mistake again.
The three of them never moved from the couch for the next few hours; the only exceptions were when one of the got something to eat or drink. Alice and Gilbert kept their fights to a minimum of 3; their new high record given the amount of time they were together. Oz happily listened to them talk and joined in when they directed something at him, but otherwise stayed silent.
Around midnight the trio split and began to move about the room seeking people to talk to (Gilbert and Alice were drunk). Oz came across Sharon and Break at the food bar and conversated with them until they ventured off, leaving the blond to find another person to talk to.
"Well hello here young lady~!" Oz turned around, coming face to face with a red-faced man. He smiled idiotically at Oz, telling the boy that he was drunk.
"Um,... hello." Oz replied, not sure what to do or say.
"You look absolutely gorgeous tonight." The man continued, looking over the teen with hungry eyes.
Oz backed away a bit from him, feeling uncomfortable and at a loss for what to do. He quickly glanced around for his friends, finding them nowhere in sight. "Why thank you." The blond said, playing along until he could escape.
"You're welcome." He took a bow, almost falling over and hitting his head in the process. When he straightened back up he smiled once more at Oz before asking, "And what might your name be?"
Oz froze, not expecting a question like that. "Uh,..." He hammered his head for a girl's name that fit him. "...Sam."
"Well, what a delightful name~!" The man complimented. Oz looked around once more, this time stopping Gilbert on the far side of the room.
"I must be going now." He dismissed politely as he ran to Gil as fast as he could without kicking up his skirt. Gilbert was facing away from him, so when Oz came up to his valet he gave him a hug from behind.
The raven-haired man jumped slightly before realizing who it was. "Hi Oz." He said, a bit more sober than before, turning in the boy's arms to hug him back.
"When are we going home? I'm tired." He asked Gil, knowing that in his drunken state he wouldn't think that he just was tired of wearing his costume.
Gilbert smiled and said, "We can go home whenever you like, young master; or should I say mistress."
"I told you not to call me that!" Oz whined as he slammed his fist into his valet's head.
Gil chuckled. "Let's go home."
Done! So after the ending they round up the gang and go. (Of course they do, what do you think, i'm going to make them leave Alice, Sharon and Break? I'm not that mean! I'm hurt you guys would think that T_T. But anyway, reviews please!
