another instalment of tart suit, and i'm pretty sure that this has a plot now, a loose one, but it's kinda there...er...nevermind, let's just pretend that they're one shots on a linear au timeline. but i have a general BL fangirl's worse nightmare (or at least, my version of a BL fangirl); crossdressing lead. i mean really, what's the point of BL if one of them's a girl??? but hey, it was fun to write.

Disclaimer: still not mine.

"Who did I piss off to get stuck with you?" Kurogane asked venomously to the bouncing mage beside him. But this time, there was…more of the mage to bounce, or jiggle rather.

"What do you mean Kuro-bi?" Fai asked, peering in the ninja's lowered faced. Kurogane turned away either in shame or to hide the blush.

Kurogane had every reason to blush. In this world, people lived much longer, so they continued their education longer, meaning that people their age were still expected to be in school. However, the supplier they learnt this all from only had one male senior's uniform left. So, on a whim, Fai bought a girl's.

Now, he was dressed in a dangerously high tan miniskirt and a fitted short-sleeve blouse that hugged his abdomen with a thin tan tie. Thick cream socks that resembled heavy leg warms encased his thin legs and partially hid sensible penny loafers. The only part of his outfit that didn't fit perfectly was the blouse. While it was snug around his middle, the top was only slightly loose, propped up by tentative A-cup boobs, something that defiantly weren't natural on the wizards; not that you could tell.

That was probably what caused the most distress in Kurogane, his inability to separate the wispy wizard and he knew, too old school girl in front of him. Needless to say, this was going to be a life-altering period, or the end of his fight for sanity, maybe both.

"Kuro-di?" Fai asked in his properly pitched voice, for a girl, spinning in front of the blushing ninja, who didn't stop in time. Down they tumbled, an awkward pile of spider-legs and flailing arms. Luckily, nothing but their pride was damaged in the fall, or at least, Kurogane's pride, and his self imposed banishment of Fai-related thoughts, which was a given, considering his face ended up with a great view of Fai's chest. Bushing madly, he rolled off the wizard, wishing for his high collared cloak, coat, something to hide the blush as he dusted his tan pants off. His uniform was just like the girls', minus the sock and skirt, tan pants replacing both.

"Wah, Kuro-ki, so clumsy." Fai scolded, poking at his arm after they both got up.

"How do you get your voice so high?" Kurogane asked, looking slightly queasy as his mind raced through the potential answers. Fai stopped for a second, face falling slack for a second before bouncing back into an exaggerated grin,

"Magic," he said cheerfully in a tone that implied a lie. At least to Kurogane it did, because he snorted, the last traces of red fading from his cheeks as he continued towards the squat school building, lying like a toad among the surrounding residential buildings.

"Kuro-ni, I'm telling the truth!" Fai whined as he sped up to catch the ninja.

"Right." Kurogane said disbelievingly, not looking at the wizard.

"Kuro-li is so cruel," Fai said, mouth twisted to the side in a slightly annoyed expression. Kurogane pretended not to hear him.

"I'm not lying!" Fai yelled at him, Kurogane didn't even bother to snort.

"Hello? Earth to Kuro-chi, pick up Kuro-fi." Fai said, complete with fake static interspaced in the classic reference.

"Would you just shut up?" Kurogane snarled. In response, Fai clamped his hands over his mouth in mock seriousness, causing Kurogane to develop a twitch in his eye.

there we go, a little off from the pattern, but we'll return to our regualarly secedualed progaramming next time, won't we? damn, i'm referring to myself as 'we'...
