Misaki walked to the café the next morning with slight anticipation. He had been working at the cosplay café for about a week and he knew all the costumes except for the ones they wore on Sundays.
The easel outside said "Princess Sunday" in bright pink cursive letters. "Princesses…I wonder how this will turn out," Misaki thought.
He entered and saw a stunning Princess Aoi in the front of the café. She wore a long, yellow dress with straps around the upper part of her arm. Her forearm was covered in yellow elbow length gloves and her hair was up in a very high ponytail.
Misaki bowed in front of her. "I'm not worthy to be in front of such beauty," he said.
"Shut up and get changed, lover boy," Aoi said, trying to hold in her laughter from his action. Misaki laughed and scratched the back of his head before going into the bathroom.
There was a big pink dress hanging on the door. There were white spots on the sleeves and a lighter shade of pink down the middle of the dress. On the counter, there was the wig, pads, and two plain white hair clips.
"You look just like a princess," Aoi said. This time, she bowed in front of Misaki. Before she could say anything, Misaki told her not to steal his joke.
"Aww, you're no fun," Aoi whined.
"Aoi, I've been playing dress-up for a week now. Tell me I'm not fun again," Misaki said. Aoi paused for a moment.
"You got me there," she said. The waited in the front talking about the customers they've had in the past week.
The first person to walk inside was Shinobu. Misaki thought it was a little weird for him to be back and even stranger for him to walk inside. Misaki lead him to a table by the window. "What can I get you, my prince?" Misaki asked.
"Anything with cabbage," Shinobu replied rather quickly.
Misaki looked at the boy and then walked to the back. He didn't even know if they had anything with cabbage here. Sure enough, there was salad with cabbage leaves. He brought that to the table and Shinobu just stared at it. "Tell me, do people really like it when you wear those costumes?" Shinobu asked.
Misaki looked at Shinobu with a strange look. "I guess they do. I've only been here for a week and have heard nothing but good things about the costumes, but mostly from boys," Misaki answered. He hadn't realized people like the cosplay until he had to really think about it.
"I see," Shinobu said and started eating the cabbage salad. "What outfit would you wear for someone you love?" he bluntly asked.
Misaki took a step back and blushed. How would he know? He wouldn't wear these outfits unless he had to. Yet again, Misaki put some thought into his answer.
"Maybe the maid outfits. It seems weird, but if you think about it, maids are loyal to their employers so maybe dressing up as a maid tells your partner you are faithful to them," Misaki answered.
Shinobu looked at Misaki and nodded. "Thank you," he said. Misaki nodded and walked away.
After Shinobu had finished eating, he talked to Aoi for a few minutes. They went to the back of the café and Shinobu left with a maid outfit of his own.
Misaki also took one home. We wanted to dress-up for his lover, but ended up stuffing it into his closet, hoping Akihiko would never find it.
Author's Note
And those are all seven days of Misaki's cosplay. I think the ending could have been better, but I had no idea how to end it. Forgive me please...TT^TT Anyway, it was fun writing a story about cross-dressing. I hope you all enjoyed it!
Until next time, sayonara~!
