Lubbock stepped into her room and closed the door, sighing heavily. They had better find a way to change her back.
She searched through her drawers to pull out her daily outfit. Sweet, they still look like they can fit. She first put on her boxers and froze. Okay... feels a little weird without her usual... stuff. No worries, she'll just get used to it. Lubbock put on her pants and sweated when they felt a lot more baggy. The hem stretched a little however because of her curve instead of the straight form she used to have. No problem, she had a belt just in case. Next, she put on her shirt and looked down with a small smile. Ha! Finally, something fits right. But...
A blushed creeped when Lubbock could see tiny hills poking up from her shirt. It looked strangely revealing. So that's why girls wear bras. Cool, she'll just wrap some guaze around her chest. Lubbock then slipped on her green coat and sighed heavily as the sleeves went way past her hands and the end of the coat slumped on the ground. Did she really get smaller? No way... she's the same height as Tatsumi...
Lubbock grabbed her signature goggles and tied them into her hair before looking in the mirror. Hey, she somewhat still looks like the same Lubbock everyone knows and love. Just a bit less cool-looking. And she really needs to do something about her shirt situation. The assassin grabbed her gloves that also contained her teigu before heading out for her shoes.
"D-Dammit..."
Lubbock could cry. Her shoes are too big. That's not fair. Why isn't life fair?
Tatsumi walked over with empty dishes in his hand, feeling some pity for the sulking teen ahead. It looks like Lubbock will be suffering for a while until they can change her back. Or at least find some better-fitting clothes. The meeting had already finished and the members were researching ways to gain more information on Lubbock's case and possibly even find a way to revert her back to normal.
"Hey Lubba, what do you say we go out and walk around for a bit? You don't have a wanted poster yet and it'll be good for you since well... you're not exactly your happiest."
Lubbock nodded and just as she stood, Mine and Leone walked into the house with sly expressions.
"Lubbock~ We got a little something for you."
Tatsumi could definitely see something was suspicious, especially with those bags in their hands. Lubbock on the other hand backed up a little.
"Wh-What?"
Tatsumi whistled and went back to the dishes as Mine and Leone dragged a screaming Lubbock to her room.
"NO!"
"Aaaw but you'd fit it nicely~"
"I said no!" Lubbock scooted all the way back on her bed as the girls presented what they bought. Silky lingerie, cutesy clothing, bows and other accessories, why did they waste their money on that crap? "I won't even need it, I have my clothes!"
"Yeah, that you can't even fit properly, you're not a boy anymore. In combat, your uncomfortableness is going to affect your teigu-wielding." Mine explained smartly. Leone held up a finger.
"Plus your boobs are going to be flopping around and gauze material isn't safe for breasts. Which I'm sure you were thinking of using."
"D-Doesn't mean I'm going to become a crossdresser!" Lubbock yelled angrily with a blush.
"You're not crossdressing if you are a girl." Mine stated and held up a bra as Leone slowly approached Lubbock. "Like it or not, in the meantime you have to take care of your body while we find a way to switch you back."
"No no no no NO-!"
Tatsumi looked up when he no longer heard a commotion. Had the girls finally gotten their way? The sound of a door opening made him put down the last clean dish and turn around. Mine walked out smugly as Leone seemed to be dragging a rather pretty girl across the floor-
He noticed the green hair and goggles.
"Is that Lubba!?"
Leone laughed at his outburst and Lubbock yanked herself out of the grip. Out of instinct she dusted herself off but this time, it was the skirt of her dress. So of course it only made her look girly to everyone else. In which, Lubbock instantly stopped and scowled angrily.
"I'm going back to change-"
"I don't think so." Leone slapped Lubbock's back so she fell forward. Tatsumi quickly stepped in to stop her from falling on the ground. "Take the walk. You two could use the break. And Tatsumi, we'll immediately get started on training so take your time~"
"A-Ah okay."
"Eh!? I'm not going out in this stupid thing!" Lubbock yelled while pulling away from Tatsumi. "There is NO WAY I AM-"
"We'll get you playboy magazines if you are a good girl~" Leone bribed. Lubbock contemplated silently.
"You're pathetic..."
"Think about it! Countless pages of sexy ladies!"
"So pathetic..." Tatsumi sighed at the fact that Lubbock was so easy to convince. Still the same pervert. They were walking down the sidewalk of the rural area before they could reach the town. "And don't you own a book store? Just read the magazines you have there."
"Ugh but they are so old. And besides, I'm having trouble getting in contact with other stores to buy magazines. Plus they work under Esdeath so I'd rather lay low as much as possible."
"Well... you're definitely laying low in that outfit." Tatsumi muttered and Lubbock had several seconds to process the remark before blushing.
"Th-th-this doesn't count!"
"Yeah. Hey let's go to a refreshment stand. I could really use lemonade." Tatsumi said while dragging his friend. As they walked through the crowded streets, Lubbock noticed the men staring at her in a weird way. Sort of like kind of look she gives when she sees a hot girl. Wait...
"Tatsumi..." Tatsumi turned his head and flushed when he saw Lubbock staring ahead while tugging on his sleeve. He totally did not think this was cute or anything.
"Y-Yes?"
"Let's turn back. I'm not thirsty anymore."
"But-"
"Hey there." They both stopped and looked up to see a grown man staring down rather intimidatingly at them. On instinct, Lubbock stepped in front of Tatsumi as a form of protection for the younger male.
"What is it?"
"Calm your frills. I was just wondering if you wanted me to buy you a drink. You know, as a token of being such a pretty girl. We don't get them a lot here." Lubbock scoffed and patted Tatsumi's head, in which the boy gave a deadpanned look.
"My friend here will be buying for me, so thanks but no thanks. Honestly, my flirting skills are better than that." Lubbock whispered the last part to Tatsumi. The man mocked a disappointed look.
"What are you, interested in wimpy guys like him?"
"Hey, I'm not a wimp!"
"I'm not interested in boys!"
The man backed up instantly with wide eyes. Tatsumi wondered if what he said caught him off guard but then he realized what Lubbock said. She must of have forgotten she wasn't a guy anymore.
"Yo, my bad! I didn't know you swung that. Later." Lubbock cocked her head as he left and Tatsumi sighed.
"Lubba, you're not a boy remember? So you don't exactly..."
"I am! W-Well... on the inside anyway. I can still like girls right?"
"I think... It's just you're..." Tatsumi decided not to explain further from the look he got and sweated, changing the subject. "Aha, still up for lemonade?"
