The Arcobaleno could hear someone rushing down the stairs to the living room and knew it had to be Skull. He was the only one who had such heavy footsteps, but also because he was the only one of them not there.
When Skull came into view, everyone froze. Skull didn't look like he usually did. He looked like a very beautiful she.
"Hey, guys! I have a mission and I probably won't be back until tomorrow so I put leftovers in the fridge. Just heat them up whenever you get hungry!"He said really quickly. He wanted to get out of there fast so they wouldn't try and stop him from going (they=his boyfriend). "I'llseeyoutomorrowbye!"
He had just opened the door when Fon suddenly appeared in front of him with a glare replacing his usual serene smile, surprising everyone but Viper and Skull. Just what he was trying to avoid.
"You are not going out looking like that." He was very firm and it didn't seem like he would back down. The Arcobaleno knew why, though. Skull was like their little little brother and they didn't want him to be harmed in any way (most of them thought Fon was just the overprotective brother. Yeah, right). Plus he looked way too cute as a girl. It didn't help that he had a very feminine form.
Skull had put on a wig that had long dark purple hair, almost black. He was wearing a lavender gray dress that was a little too short and black thigh-high socks with a pair of dark purple high-top converse. He had gotten rid of his usual make-up and had gone with lavender eye shadow and a lightly tinted lipstick. In short: beautiful.
Skull backed up a few steps and let out a nervous laugh,"I am actually. I know you don't like it, but I need the money." He glanced at the Arcobaleno with a look that just screamed 'help me.'
They didn't do anything, wanting to see how this would end. The only one who looked worried was Uni, the rest either had smirks (Reborn, Colonello, and Verde) or were indifferent (Lal and Viper). Poor Skull.
"Then let me bring in money because I am not letting you out of this house until you change." Yep, he definitely wasn't backing down. But Skull wasn't going to either.
"Let's make a compromise. I'll bring someone with me, but i'm not changing. Deal?" He held out a hand, waiting for Fon to give in. It would happen eventually. Skull almost always got what he wanted out of his boyfriend.
Fon looked tough for a couple more seconds before he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded,"Alright then. Deal," he hesitated a moment before shaking Skull's hand. Skull smiled and stood on his toes to give Fon a kiss on the cheek. He then spun around to face everyone else.
"Vi, could you come with me? I would ask Lal-senpai but she has a dinner date with Colonello-senpai tonight. Plus, with your purple hair, we could probably pass as sisters! Please?"He made a pouty face that was even cuter when he was cross dressing than in his usual get-up. Viper couldn't refuse.
They sighed,"Fine. Help with the outfit?" Skull's pout was immediately replaced by a bright smile (it wasn't like Viper was asking, though. It was more of a demand).
"Of course! Thanks for agreeing!" Like they had a choice. They sighed again.
"Ooh! Can I help?" Skull's smile widened.
"Of course, Uni!"
"Yay!"
No one was really paying attention to when those three disappeared, though, they were too busy smirking at the blushing Lal and Colonello. But not Fon. He was thinking about the different ways he could take that dress off of Skull (bad Fon!) and about what he meant when he said he needed the money.
...
"So, you and Fon? I had my suspicions but this just proves it." Skull blushed, he had hoped that Viper wouldn't notice. Or at least not say anything. Especially in front of Uni.
She gasped,"You and Fon are together? Yay! I was just starting to think of ways to get you together but now I don't have to!" She gave them an innocent smile. Skull didn't trust it at all."You look really pretty, by the way. I forgot to tell you earlier." And suddenly he trusted that smile again.
"Thanks, Little Sis."Uni's face lit up.
"Alright, alright. Enough sappy stuff. Let's get this over with,"Viper said, rolling their eyes. They led them into their room and closed the door. They took off their hood and Uni and Skull finally saw their beautiful face.
"Wow! You're really pretty, Vi!"
They rolled their eyes again,"Oh, shut up. Let's hurry with this."
...
Viper was just as beautiful as Skull once they were finished (Fon didn't agree with that), everyone was surprised.
They had their shoulder length hair curled just enough that it didn't look overdone. They had on a short-sleeved dark blue dress that ended a little above their knees and black tights under. They were also wearing converse but they were dark blue instead of purple. They used their illusions to cover up the tattoos on their cheeks and put on a bit of blush and black eye shadow on. Much different than usual.
Skull smiled,"We're all ready to go now!" He hooked his and Viper's arms together and started tugging them to the door, where Fon was still standing. "Is this better?"
Fon stared at them for a second before slowly nodding,"I'm still not happy about this, Skull, but I'll allow you to go now."
Skull let go of Viper and stood on his toes again to whisper something in Fon's ear. No one could hear what he said, even with their heightened senses. They could see Fon's eyes widen before he smirked, surprising everyone yet again.
He nodded,"I look forward to it." He stepped to the side and headed back to the couch he had been sitting on before. "Be careful, Skull, Viper."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I'm always careful!" Skull beamed, grabbing Viper again and throwing the door open and almost running out of the house, dragging Vi behind him. They started laughing before they even made it off the porch.
The remaining Arcobaleno watched fondly as they left, hoping they would finish the job quickly and come home. Home to their weird (beautiful) family.
