A/N: So at the behest of a couple of reviewers, some friends, and inspired by the fanart that Kybok popped out not too long ago, I post a second chapter to the Costume Change! Series. Replies to the reviews are at the bottom. -heartheart-

Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia, or its respective characters.

Zelos was stuck in a room with Lloyd. Again. Why did he always get stuck with him? He wanted to share a room with the girls, but nooooo. Everyone always got so mad when he suggested that! He just wanted to protect them! He was positive that they'd feel much safer with The Great Zelos around.

However, The Great Zelos was shunned once again, and now stuck with his boring bud, Lloyd. How many times was he gonna polish those swords? Geez. Then it hit him.

Zelos grinned foxily and tilted his head, focusing azure eyes on the brunette across the room from him. "Say bud, how would you like to try on my nice, fancy clothes?"

Lloyd looked up from his sword, raising a brow. "...Zelos. What makes you think I want to wear your clothes? They're pink."

Zelos pouted. "But Lloyd! They're rich people clothes. I bet you'd love to try them on! And I want to try on your backwoods, poor people clothes! ...And hey, did you just make fun of my pink overcoat? It's very handsome, I'll have you know. It takes a lot of balls to wear pink clothes... Besides, it accentuates my beautiful blue eyes."

The redhead batted his eyelashes at the dual swordsman, who sighed exasperatedly. "Fine. I'll humor you this once."

Zelos' eyes glittered and he jumped right off the bed. "Yay! Now hurry up and strip, bud!"

Lloyd sighed once more and set down his sword, starting with his brown leather belts. The red boots went next, then his brown suspenders, his red gloves, his red shirt, his white undershirt, socks, and then his dark gray pants.

Zelos, who had watched Lloyd get undressed, smirking, commented off-handedly, "I always figured you were a tighty-whities kinda guy, bud!"

Before Lloyd could answer, the redhead started to take his own clothes off. He slowly slid his mid-bicep gloves off, and then undid the fastenings on his overcoat, which was then slid off his shoulders and onto the bed. His boots came off, then his belt with the sword and sheath still attached, his tight black shirt, and then his slightly-baggy white pants.

Lloyd's eyes widened, and he asked, "Wh-what the hell is that?!"

Zelos looked down curiously, then back up. "What, you've never seen a thong before?"

The redhead did a little twirl to show off the back, chuckling as Lloyd stuck out his tongue.

Zelos, eager to try on the poor peoples' clothes, gathered Lloyd's clothes up and started to put them on, like a little kid dressing up in their parents clothes.

The redhead easily pulled the pants on, which were still baggy on him, left the undershirt off, as it wouldn't quite fit him anyways, pulled on the red shirt, Lloyd's gloves, and he put the belts on. He tugged at the little slack the shirt material gave, smiling. It fit him nicely.

Zelos slipped the boots on, surprised to find that he and Lloyd wore the same size shoes, and walked over to the full-length mirror on the opposite wall from the beds, next to the little sink.

Admiring himself in the mirror, he smiled, hands on his hips. "Not bad, Mister Zelos Wilder. Not bad at all. They're pretty comfortable, too."

Turning around to see Lloyd's progress, Zelos blinked.

And he blinked again.

Let's just have him blink once more for extra emphasis.

He was silent for a long time, observing the teen wearing his clothes.

After a few good minutes of tension, he burst out, laughing. Lloyd frowned and asked, "What, do I really look that stupid?" He pushed the redhead aside to take a look in the mirror, tilting his head as he checked his reflection.

...Oh. Oops.

He had somehow managed to put the pants on inside-out, and they were reversible. Apparently, they were originally pajamas, because the design on the inside, or outside, now, was this God-awful purple color, with strange little... Wait a second, were those Gnomelettes?!

.........Ugh! What the hell was Zelos wearing these days?!
