"These dresses all look so pretty. Any catch your eye?"

"Not really."

"Eh? But there's so many."

As it currently stood, Honoka and Kotori were out looking at dresses. Honoka had been thinking of getting one just because. She had decided to bring Kotori along and get her to maybe find a matching dress too.

However, Kotori wasn't really interested. Recently she had been struggling to wear feminine things. She just didn't like how they looked on her. Dresses were one of the big things she struggled to wear now.

She didn't know why. But, maybe it was because she was starting to feel disconnected from being a girl?

The main thing right now was that she had never told anyone these things. And she was kind of scared to, if she was being honest. She didn't understand where these feelings had come from. She was scared of them. They were changing her life and she hated that.

"I... I'm just not really interested in it today. Sorry." Kotori didn't really know what to say as a lie. Would she even be believed?

"You aren't?" Honoka pouted, "But you're into fashion. Don't you want to even browse for ideas?"

Kotori took a deep breath, "I don't like wearing dresses, Honoka. I... I don't know why... but I can't do it now."

Honoka tilted her head to the side in confusion, "You... don't feel comfortable wearing dresses?"

Kotori nodded, avoiding eye contact, "Yes... I just... don't like how it looks on me."

"Why? You aren't... having problems with how you look, right?"

The only reason that was brought up was because there had been some news stories coming out about idols doing... drastic things because they hated their bodies and thought they didn't look good enough to be idols.

"No... it's more that I just... don't feel like a girl that much."

"Are you... a boy then?"

Kotori shrugged, "I don't know what I want to be..."

"Hmm... well, do you want to experiment? Just tell me what you want me to call you or refer to you by and I will. Maybe that'll show if it makes you feel more comfortable."

Kotori smiled, "Thanks, Honoka. I'll think it over and let you know."

"So, do you want to go somewhere else? This can wait for another day."

"Sure. Where should we go?"

"Wanna go to the arcade?"

"Okay. I think some of the others might be there... I just can't remember who said they were going and for what time."

"Then let's go see!"

Kotori laughed softly as Honoka drug her away. Honoka was very good at distracting her. And it seemed she would be helpful if Kotori decided she wasn't a girl. But, that could wait for a bit. For now, she would enjoy this time together with Honoka and possibly some of the others in μ's.
