Hi everyone! If your reading this that means you've apparently liked chapter 1 enough to continue reading, and that makes me very happy.
I've started writing this story some time ago, and only decided to post it the day I did, now a week ago. I've put a lot of thought into the story, and I've actually already written up until chapter 5 or so, with some lose parts after that on how I want the story to go.
While I'm writing this the story had had about 45 views and that makes me really happy. I'm writing to entertain myself mostly, but I really enjoy it when I can write something people can enjoy.
Anyways, I've actually re-written en re-edited this story about 4 time, and each time I wanted to save my internet or my computer crashed so I had to re-write and re-edit it again T-T. Because of that the flow of the story had been changed to three different reactions, and I'm not quite sure which of the 3 I like best. The outcome of the situation is still the same though, so even though I had some trouble writing the last part (that's when my computer crashed, twice) the outcome is still the same.
I hope you'll enjoy this chapter!

Twilight University, or TU for short, is an international university that focused mostly on International business. Because of it's international curriculum, a lot of foreign exchange students go there as well. The University also offers a wide variety of languages courses for all it's students. Depending on the course and country one was from languages might even be included in the needed curriculum, but other than that one was free to attend these classes if they felt the need to do so.
Because of the amount of students that attend the TU, the University offers several different kinds of housing arrangements. It is possible to rent a room from a local in the nearby town, or to move into a share house which were both owned by the university or managed by people renting out their houses. It is of course also possible to buy or rent whole houses or apartments both in the city for those with money, as well as on the student campus. Apartments and share houses located on the student campus are all owned and managed by the TU. In one of those apartment building owned by Twilight University a young brunette was trying to get ready to go out, but wasn't having much luck with actually doing so.
"Don't worry about me that much, Leon! I'm a big boy now, I can take care of myself." Sora leans against the counter of his apartment's kitchen with his cellphone cradled against his ear. Living alone had the advantage of not having to share anything or having to thinking about other people with the things he did or did not do. The downside, however was that his brother also lived in the same campus building and he would constantly check on Sora. Now that Leon was on a 10 week lasting special course in Sweden, that had become even worse than it already was. Ever since Leon had gone to Sweden with a few selected people from his class to participate in a foreign exchange program 4 weeks ago, he had been calling Sora every morning and every evening with no exception. One time Sora had ignored his brother's call in favor of sleeping in after a nights out, which resulted in his brother completely freaking and asked Cloud for Tidus' number so Leon could call Tidus to go check on Sora. In the past Sora had always been a bit of a target and Leon had always been the protective big brother. Now, Sora did love his brother from the bottem of his heart, but this was becoming insane!
"Leon!" Sora wined into his phone. "Seriously, you have to calm down. I'm fine!" He knew arguing with his brother was pointless but he was becoming a bit fed up with everything. He had already been talking to his brother for half an hour and he really wanted to go out and eat dinner with his friends. Luckily for Sora, Cloud seemed to be next to Leon and was trying his best to help Sora convince the overprotective brunet that Sora would be fine on his own. Knowing Cloud, he probably wanted to get on with his day/evening as well. "He's got his friends" was the short statement from Cloud that helped Leon calm down eventually. "Look Leon. I'm going to go out and grab something to eat with everybody in the café around the corner. They are all keeping their promises to take care of me in your absent, so you really don't have to worry about me!"
Finally having calmed down his brother Sora could get ready to go out for dinner. As he put on an extra sweater and grab his wallet he noticed that he was already running late. Kairi would kill him! Sora breathed out a soft "shit" before grabbing his keys from the hook next to his door he ran out of his apartment room and straight into something hard. "Fuck, ouch! That hurt!" Sora curses before opening his eyes, trying to identify the object he had just run into. The object appeared to have been a tall, young man with silver hair that was now cradling his shoulder. "Watch where you're going!" the man bitches against him, rubbing his shoulder and trying to see if his arm still responded to his demand. "Oh, I'm Sorry! I am kinda in a hurry, and well… I'm really sorry! But I really got to go now!" Scrambling to stand again Sora continues his sprint through the hallway, leaving one very irritated and one very amused silver haired youth behind.

None to gently barging through the doors and into the café around the corner, which was actually called 'the café around the corner', Sora tried to spot his friends. He had run the few blocks that took him to the café and was having a hard time trying to catch his breath, his eyes not completely focusing. He didn't have to search for very long, though, as Tidus had come over to see if Sora was okay. "Hey man, you okay? You look like you just ran a marathon." The blond man commented, gently running Sora's back. "I might as well have." Sora's breath was slowly but surely calming down again. "I ran all the way from my door to here, because Leon was his overly-worried self again and had to keep me on the phone for hours." Sora whined to Tidus as he straightens himself and his clothing, scrugging off his jacket to help cool down hit over-heated body. "So where's my price?" he ask while Tidus guides him to the table his friends were sitting at. "You're price, you klutz, is you're punishment for losing the bet!" a slightly upset but mostly amused Kairi answers him while raising her glass to him. "Which bet?" Sora wonders out loud while scooting into the seat next to Tidus and stealing said boys beer to take a gulp. "You know, the bet!" an overly cheerful Selphie comments. "I feel for you man." Sora looks to the other side of Tidus to locate the source of that last comment. Waka's hand settles on Sora's shoulder. "It was nice to know ya." The tanned sportsman continues while shrugging his shoulders.
Sora looks from Kairi to Selphie whom were now giggling and talking about dresses. "Guys, I think we've lost them." He half whispered to his male friends. "No Sora, you're the one who's lost it. You really really don't remember the bet? Surely you weren't THAT drunk that time, were you?" Tidus looked at Sora a bit worried. Sora crosses his arms and tried to remember the bet in question. Suddenly he remembered the last time he was late for their study group. Kairi had been extremely mad at Sora for forgetting about their promise until the very last moment again and only after Sora had promised that next time he'd be late for something that included his friends, Kairi could decide on something for Sora to do. Of course his friends wanted in, and they had bet on the next time Sora would be late. Sora, never to let down a challenge and trying to keep what little pride he had left intact, had exclaimed he would definitely NOT be late on the date that had the most voted for Sora's next 'late day'. Now remembering the bet Sora slumps in his seat and groans out loud. The day they had decided on was today, and the price of the bet…
"So, when are we going shopping, Sora?" the unofficial, now overly enthusiastic twins ask in union. "Never?" Sora replies hopefully, knowing full well he could not get out of this bet. "Hey girls, you hadn't decided on where he could show of his pretty garments, right?" Tidus suddenly piped in. Fearing the worst Sora slumps even deeper in his seat, muttering a hardly hearable "I need a drink" and raised his hand to attract the bartenders attention. "No we haven't. Do you have a super fantastic idea, Tidy? You do, don't you, Tidy?" "I told you not to call me that, Selph. But if you want to know, yes, I might have a super fantastic idea. Why not have Sora wear it on our night out to the disco, and get him into some hot guys pants?" "Tidus!" Sora exclaims at the outrageous idea. The bartender had come to the table with a pint of beer and Sora blushed at the thought of what the guy might have heard. After the bartender left he hissed to his friends: "I am NOT going to wear a dress on our party night!" His objection hit deaf ears, however, as the girls and Tidus were already discussing his outfits and how they could get it to become convincing enough for guys to think Sora was actually a girl. He didn't mind the idea of actually getting a hot boyfriend, but he was absolutely sure that this was not the way to get one. He knew so from experience.
After dinner, a couple of drinks and a lot of embarrassing moments on Sora's expenses, the group made their way back to the apartment complex. They had not yet decided on the day they were going to go to the disco to show of Sora's feminine attributes, but the day after tomorrow Sora would have to suffer being dragged on a shopping trip with the girls. He considered dragging one of his guy friends along, but after thinking about it a bit more Sora decided against it. The shopping experience on its own would be bad enough and he didn't need to have more witnesses.
~Line breaker~
On the promised Saterday, Sora was rudely awaked by the sound of knocking on his door. Without really thinking all too much of it and still half asleep he opened the door without checking who it was. When he realized who was standing in front of his door, he wished he had checked. The second Sora opened the door, Kairi and Selphie came barging in talking about all the things they would need to get today. Still half sleepdrunk, Kairi pushed Sora inside of his bathroom with the command to "shower and shave, all of it". Knowing Kairi would actually do it herself if he didn't, Sora shaved both the little facial hair he had, as well as his legs and the pits of his arms. He already had the habit of not letting it become too much, so he didn't really mind. It was actually about time he did so again.
By the time he got out of the shower dressed in only his boxers, Selphie en Kairi had made the three of them a good breakfast. Sora only had a one-room apartment meaning his dresser was where the girls now also were. Opting for something he could change out easily and quickly Sora put on a pair of baggy pants that hardly hung on his hips if not for the suspenders he used to keep the piece of clothing in place, a red, checked blouse with click-buttons, and a pair of white all-stars with doodles on them. He had asked his friends to put little drawings on it so he could always think of his friends when wearing this shoes.
While eating breakfast the girls explained to Sora which stores they would be going to. "And we'll drag you by your hair if we have to!" Selphie exclaimed. Looking down on the list the girls had actually produced, Sora felt the dread crawling up his throat. He really hoped that they would skip some of the stores for the sake of a better collection in a different store. "We really need to get going." Kairi said while looking at her watch. "We do want to get most of the stores before the masses come."
All Sora could really do was follow the girls around the stores and fit whatever they shove into his hands. He did try to wander off to the guys department at one point, only to be literally dragged back by his hair. Selphie hadn't lied when she said they would do so. The twins hadn't found anything they thought was 'appropriate' yet, and the group was now approaching the store Sora dreaded most. Maybe he was lucky and the store's manager wasn't there or didn't recognize him. He had no such luck today, however, as the first person they encountered in the store was indeed the store's manager. The girls replied to the greetings of the manager with their own enthusiastic hi's, but when the manager made eye contact with Sora, he received a stern look. Walking a bit closer to the girls Sora really hoped the redhead and brunet wouldn't find anything to their liking. When they had already had half the store and the manager noticed Sora just being a tag along, Sora started to relax a bit. Maybe he would get out of this store alive.
"I my god Selph, this is perfect!" Kairi nearly squealed. "Sora come look at this!" Kairi called Sora to them, holding up a black one piece dress. The upper part of the dress was a body-fitting jersey, with see-through fabric above the breast area and extending to the sleeves. The skirt part of the one piece was a tutu-like model, made up from several different types of fabric, the upper, most visible layer being a jersey fish-net. "This is precisely what we had in mind!" Sora just looked at the dress with a blank stare. "Do I really?" he asked, hoping, praying the girls would change their minds. "Nop! This was the bet and you're not getting out. Let's go to the fitting room. What's the size you tried on in the other store again, Sora?" Kairi asked, already diving back into the rack to fish out the right size. Looking around to see if he could spot the manager, Sora mumbled the correct size to Kairi who sadly found the right size within seconds. Sora tried to fight back when Selphie pushed him towards the fitting rooms, arguing that if it was perfect they could just buy it and try it on at home. The girls would not have it and pushed Sora inside of the dressing room with the comment to put on the dress in question or else...
Trying to get it over as quickly as possible, Sora put on the dress and called the girls that he was ready. He didn't want to get out of the fitting room, they'd just have to come inside. He really wasn't having any luck, however, as Selphie pulled him outside of the dressing room as soon as she saw that the dress was, indeed, perfect to the image they had had for Sora's suffering. As Sora was positioned before the big fitting mirror and looked up, his eyes locked with the store's manager's eyes. Feeling the panic rise when the manager made his way toward them, he tried to get the attention of the girls. But the Kairi and Selphie were to deep into their squeeling and even taking pictures of the now clearly panicking boy. "Omg Sora you look absolutely perfect in this. You'll be sure to get yourself a hot boy within no time at all, I'm sure of it!" Kairi squeeled as she looked at the picture. When she looked up to see Sora's reaction, the noticed the panic in the boy's blue eyes, and just as she looked into the mirror to see what he was looked at, the store manager made a grab for Sora's arm. Sora spinned out of the man's reach and backed up against the mirror, facing the manager with his hands held up. "This isn't what it looks like, really. We were just-" "How is this not what it looked like you faggot? You in a girls dress, that's what I'm seeing and that's what it looks like. How dare you come into my store again! I thought I told you to stay away!" The man was nearly shouting at the end of his little rant, with his face as red as a tomato from anger.
Kairi and Selphie looked at each other, and realizing that this would escalate if they didn't do something the girls quickly stepped in front of Sora to try and block him from the managers view. "This really isn't what it looks like, sir. You see, we made Sora put on that dress because he lost a bet. This is his punishment for being late, not that wearing your fabulous dresses would be a punishment of course but-" Kairi started saying but the store manager interrupted her as well. "I bet the whore lost the bet on purpose so he could dress up in drag with my dresses once more. But I won't have any of that! Not ever again! I want you and this filthy drag queen out of my store right now, or I'm calling the police!" The man made a gesture that showed he was serious, turned around and walked away.
Without waiting even a second Sora dashed through the girls and into the fitting room. He changed within record time, didn't even bother to button his pants and shirt or to tie his shoelaces, left the dress in the fitting room and made his way out of the store as soon as possible. He kept running until he nearly collapsed on a fountain wall a few blocks from the store. Catching his breath he looked behind him too see if the girls had managed to follow him. Kairi used to be on the track team so she should be able to keep up, and Selphie was pretty energetic so he didn't think they'd be far behind. Just as he calmed down a bit he saw the girls come around the corner. When he looked around he saw that he was standing next to the fountain near their favorite Starbucks.
After making sure the girls had seen him and after having buttoned up his pants and shirt, he made his way toward and inside the Starbucks. He knew he'd have a lot of explaining to do, and he'd rather do it while enjoying a hot cup of coffee in a comfy chair.
Yay~ Finished chapter 2!
And what did you think? Did you like it, and are you curious as to what led the store manager to become so angry? I promise you it's quite a story! You'll have to wait a bit longer to find out about it, however, fufufufu.
I wonder how Riku's doing in his new environment. Will he be able to manage or...?
And I guess I do like first 2 versions of the last bit better... but I can't seem to get the flow that I had before. I guess having to write the same thing 3 times does that to you...
Anyways, I hope you'll review and on to the next chapter~ 3
