"You want me to wear THAT?!" Riku cringed as his boyfriend's voice grated at his ears, Axel's falsetto was painful to everyone but Sora.

"Of course. C'mon baby, it's Halloween! You have to match Sora and I. He'll kill you if you don't." Riku lied matter-of-factly as Sora hemmed the last few inches of the voluminous skirt.

Axel was surrounded on all sides with lace and crinoline, enough bolts of silk for a small army of dress-clad warriors, and a thousand different dress patterns. He pawed through a pile of purses, digging his cell phone out of the one on the very bottom. It flashed the date gaily, unknowingly the last nail into his coffin.

"If you don't wear this, after all the work I've gone through" Sora started, snipping loose threads and ironing pleats and ruffles, "You aren't getting any tonight." He grinned as he shook the skirt out one last time, lovingly checking it's bows and ribbons. "Now. Put on that slip so we can get going already. We're both dressed."

Axel glared as the boy straightened his own skirts, gathered flounces fell around him with a grace none but Sora could hope to match, and stiffly reached for the silky slip that would protect him from the itchy petticoat he'd be wearing. "Why is it Riku gets the only semi-masculine costume?"

Sora glowered at him. "Would you like to put on the sheep costume? I'm sure he'd be willing to trade." (Riku was too busy to notice this exchange, seeing as Sora's skirt had ridden up and he was now given a thoroughly 5-star view of his boyfriend's ass.) "Now, Axel. The dress." He stared his redhead down, big brown eyes daring him to make some other snide comment. Axel decline to do so, in favor of grabbing the dress to cower from his Sora's scary gaze.

"Can I at least have some privacy?"

Riku scoffed, pulling his head (figuratively, of course) out of Sora's skirt. "You're or boyfriend, Axel. We both see you naked every night."

Axel sighed, defeated. He shimmied out of his jeans and t-shirt until he stood only in his boxers. The slip was smooth and soft as it ghosted over his chest and down to his thighs. He'd been forced to shave his legs, earlier in the day, and from the waist down , he almost looked female. Except….

"The boxers have to go." Sora rummaged in a drawer and pulled out a pair of white panties, bows and all. He flung them at the man, landing them in a tangle of red spikes. Axel whimpered and pulled his boxers off, the slip saving him from the majority of the humiliation. The other boys were treated to a mini-peepshow as the skirt rose when he reached up to detangle his new underwear. Riku nearly salivated as Axel pulled the panties up his now-shaven leg, Sora's eyes glazed over as the redhead gingerly adjusted them. "Now the dress."

Axel huffed and accepted the proffered costume, stepping into the layers of cloth delicately. He pulled it up across his back and gently adjusted the sleeves. "Zip me up?" He gestured for Sora to fasten the dress closed, and the brunette straightened the bows and skirts until his ensemble was nearly complete.

Riku couldn't contain himself when the stockings were pulled over the impossibly long legs. High heels were strapped on, and a single white ribbon pulled back the red hair. Axel, dear Axel, was a shepherdess. Minus the long pole, which stood like a sentinel in the far corner, he was the very picture of a manly, red-haired 'Little Bo Peep'.

"Screw this. Those dresses are coming off." Riku pounced on his lovers. -- This was a wonderful Halloween.
