6- Hemlines

loosely related to graduation; friendship

"Odd, I don t really like skirts. They make me uncomfortable." Yumi commented with a small flush as the blonde tacked the hem making it way shorter than her comfort zone.

"Nonsense. You have a great set of legs and you won t have to worry about any upskirt shots. You won t have to wear it on the runway. These are just standard prints for my portfolio." Odd mumbled around the straight pins he was holding between his teeth. Thanks for at least agreeing to wear it though."

"I mean, I do like the design. It s just a little much for me. You know I like my subdued blacks." She offered a small smile.

"I know, you near killed me for wearing the neon jacket when we body swapped." He slid the last pin into place and brushed his hands on his pant legs. That s why I went for your upgrade colors."

"Odd, I m surprised you called me in for this. I mean especially after " She bit her lip not wanting to bring up the old hurts from dating Ulrich.

"You guys are both my friends even if Ulrich is my best. Besides, things happened and you eventually worked out the ugly bits. These outfits are just for our little group." He smirked. And why on earth would I want some daft wannabe modeling something so perfect and by my own design for you?"

Yumi smiled again wondering when Odd had grown up so much. Had her and Ulrich gone south during their last years at Kadic, she was sure Odd would have hated her guts for hurting his best friend. She and Odd had never been close like that. She almost kind of regretted not opening up to him more. She probably could have benefit from his constant positivity. It had done wonders for Ulrich s brooding despite the times when the energy had been ill-timed or annoying. Being around him now made her happy and feel included again. It reminded her of why their group had stayed friends through the tough times. No matter how many times Odd's pranking and immaturity had gotten on her nerves, she had to admit he was a very caring individual underneath it all. And though design school had given him a little bit more confidence (and incidentally ego) he did deserve the recognition. She would wear her outfit proudly even if the skirt was too short.


A/n: not much to say other than i liked drawing the outfit this one goes to.

Tell me what ya think on these so far?
