The Cultural festival is a big time for the students of Namimori. Everyone is working hard to make it as good and as fun as possible. There were many different activities going on, some classes doing a maid or cosplay café, others putting on shows and haunted houses, but Tsuna's class wanted to be different. To do something unique and original.

And so they were doing a photoshoot.

The nominated students would pose with someone and have their picture taken. The customer therefore getting to keep it. There was a lot of preparation that needed doing, costumes, cameras, lights. Everyone was happily working and it was all planned out. But the real story begins when it was the second to last day before the big festival.

'WHAT? Yuki-chan is sick?'
'Very. I heard her parents even brought in a doctor to look at her. She can barely move.'
'What do we do about the photo's? We'll need someone to replace her.'
'But nobody can fit into her costumes! She's smaller than most of us.'
'Plus, all of us have jobs to do! There aren't any girls left! It's not like a boy can cover for her!'

It was at that point Kyoko, a popular and very pretty girl looked at one particular boy, struggling to put up some decorations by himself. The boy had spikey, bed-head brunette hair and large innocent brown eyes, his name: Sawada Tsunayoshi.

'K-kyoko, you can't be serious?'
'Well, I mean he's really small! He'd probably fit in her costumes!'

The group of girls watched Tsuna as he happily continued decorating the classroom, unaware of an evil scheme about to unfold.

'Tenth! Let me help you! I'll be back to do the tall bits in a second after I drop these off to the teachers lounge!'
'Ah, thank you. Gokudera-kun.'

That sweet smile of his almost brought Gokudera to tears, knowing he would be of some help to his beloved boss, he ran to the teachers lounge and slammed the massive pile of papers on the womans desk, causing her to stutter and her glasses to fall slightly askew. He then rushed out as quickly and loudly as he came in, leaving all the teachers in a state of bewilderment. Humming to himself, Gokudera was caught off guard, and dragged into an empty classroom almost opposite his own.

'Wh-what is this? Are you after the tenth? I'll never le- … Kyoko?'
'Hi Gokudera-san!'

A very confused Gokudera looked around to see lots of patterns, frills, accessories and girls. All the girls from his class in fact, staring at him. Gulping, Gokudera looked back to Kyoko who was smiling happily.

'We have a massive problem Gokudera-san! Yuki-chan is sick and we need a replacement, we were kind of hoping that yo-'
'I'm not wearing a dress.'
'Wh-what? Oh, no! Not you… we actually wanted Tsuna-kun. And were hopi-'
'The tenth will not do something so, so… demeaning and, and degrading…'

An almost evil smirk appeared on the red-haired girls face, she giggled and leaned towards the bombers face.

'Tsuna-kun would look good in a dress, don't you think? We'll let you have a picture for free…'
'A.. d-dress? The tenth?'

Gokudera felt his face heat up as rude and very inappropriate images of his loved boss in all sorts of dresses, skirts and ribbons. It's not like he was fantasizing or anything, no- of course not!

…

'Tenth would look good in a kimono…'
'Well, Gokudera-san – if you manage to convince Tsuna-kun to do this, we'll get him to wear a kimono as one of the outfits and you can have a free picture! PLEASE!'

The girl was practically begging, and it was for the good of the school…

'FINE! But I'm not forcing Tenth into it!'
'Thank you Gokudera-san!'

As the Italian left, mumbling to himself about betrayal, festivals and kimono's, the girls looked at Kyoko, who was beaming brightly.

'Are you sure that idiot-Tsuna will look good enough to pass as a girl?'
'Trust me.'

The sun reached its highest point in the sky, and everyone had decided to go to lunch, leaving the classroom empty. Tsuna had suggested eating on the roof – it was a gorgeous day, Gokudera had wished for whatever made the tenth happy and Yamamoto joined them after his baseball practice. The three were happily eating their lunch when Tsuna suddenly picked up some conversation.

'I heard that Yuki-san from our class is sick, do you think they'll get anyone to replace her?'

Gokudera felt his face heat up from those kimono images swimming through his mind.

'A-actually Tenth… there was something Kyoko wanted me to ask you…'
'K-kyoko-chan?'
'Uhh, well since that Yuki girl is ill, she really, and I mean really wanted you to kind of, uhh… takeherplaceinthephotoshoot?'

Mixing all this words together, Gokudera bowed his head in front of the brunette boy, his face getting redder and redder, Yamamoto laughed out loud and said very clearly to both of them:
'Tsuna would look so cute in a girls maid outfit! Maybe we should get you some kitty ears, huh… Tsu-chan~'

Tsuna's own face went bright red and he began spluttering about how he would definitely not suit a maids dress! Or kitty ears for that matter! Or any girls clothing!

'No way! Nu-uh, even if they need someone, that just- no! I won't do it! Why would you ask me Gokudera-kun?'
'I-I didn't mean to betray you tenth! It's just, that Kyoko-bitch said it was for the good of the school, and… well, I uh…'
'Or maybe you could wear a baseball uniform!' Yamamoto suddenly interjected.
'Yama-mama-NO!'

Tsuna felt so embarrassed, but he wasn't sure it was because his friends were imagining him in girls clothing or because they seemed to be enjoying it. Either one was bad, and Tsuna felt like crawling into a very dark corner.

'Tsuna-kun!'
'K-Kyoko-chan?'
'Has Gokudera-san asked you yet?'
'Y-yeah, look Kyoko-chan I-'
'Please Tsuna-kun?'

The girl pulled such an innocent and pleading face that no man could ever resist, and Tsuna found it very difficult to say anything let alone an answer.

'We really need you to do this Tsuna-kun! You're the only one who could wear Yuki-chan's clothes!'
'I-Kyoko-chan, I really can't… I mean I wont look- I'm not a girl!'
'That's why we'll dress you up! Just put some make-up on and a wig and you'll be perfect! Please Tsuna-kun, please!'

The girl was begging again. Gokudera would have punched her right there for putting Tenth in such an awkward and unpleasant situation if wasn't for the fact that Tenth held her very dear to him. How dare someone force him to do somethi-

'F-fine…'

Silence.

'S-sorry Tsuna-kun? Did you just say…'
'I SAID I'LL DO IT!'

The girl jumped in the air and clapped her hands together, her smile beaming as she thanked him and ran off. Both taller teens looked at their smaller friend, his face hidden behind his fringe.

'WHY DID I JUST AGREE TO THAT?'

Panic started flooding through his system. Tsuna never liked photo's in the first place let alone dressed as a girl! The boy made a whimpering noise and tucked his legs into chest.

'Hey Tsuna! Can I have a picture with you?'
'BASEBALL-IDIOT, SHUTUP!'

Gokudera tried hard to fight off the baseball idiots antics but his head was swimming with Tsuna in different outfits, and there wasn't a single one that didn't look good. As the other two left to go back to classroom, the bomber made the 'i-need-a-cigarette' excuse and stayed up on the roof a little while longer – his erection not going away anytime soon.

Fuck.
