Inside the box lay a cream dress, it had a high collar with scalloped edges with a choker ribbon tied in a bow. The sleeves were scalloped at the edges too with a ribbon tied a few inches under the shoulder. Tenderly Yuki picked it up and slid it on, the fabric catching perfectly on his hips giving him a slightly more feminine look. The bottom hem of the dress was scalloped at well, barely touching the scalloped tops of the socks that Yuki found with the elegant shoes.
Wrapped separately at the bottom was a parasol that was cream with a ribbon on the handle. Yuki picked it up and opened it, looking into the mirror he let a small smile creep across his face. He did look feminine, no matter how much he didn't want to.
Smoothing out imaginary wrinkles, Yuki spun in slow circles watching the creamy fabric flow around him. "Ayame did a good job…" Yuki thought fingering the silken ribbons.
Suddenly there was a knock on Yuki's door, he whirled around so fast he almost gave himself whiplash.
"Yuki, dinner's ready." Tohru's voice came through the door.
"Ah, Honda-san… I'll be down in a few minutes. I'm just going to change." Yuki called to her.
"Alright." Tohru said before happily going to knock on Kyo's door.
Kyo was sitting there in his room with a text book out trying to study, but the images of Yuki in the two dresses and opening the shower curtain kept drifting up.
"Kyo!" Tohru's voice came calling.
"What!" Kyo called back.
"Dinner's ready." She said.
"Okay, I'm coming." Kyo said as he got to his feet.
Kyo, Shigure and Tohru sat down and started eating.
"Ah…Tohru-chan, where's Yuki-kun." Shigure said.
"Um, well he said he would be down in a minute." Tohru said.
"I see, I wonder what he could be doing up there." Shigure said raising his eyebrows suggestively.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID PERVERT!" Kyo yelled whacking Shigure over the head.
"Tohru! Kyo's hitting me!" Shigure whined pulling at Tohru's sleeve.
"Um…Kyo I don't understand. Why did you hit Shigure-san?" Tohru said clearly puzzled.
Kyo just blushed like crazy and half yelled, "I'm going to get the kuso nezumi."
Kyo stomped up the stairs and banged on Yuki's door. "Oi! Nezumi! Are you coming down or not. Shigure's getting stupid." Kyo growled.
"I am coming…I'm just…stuck." Yuki said.
"What the hell are you talking about…" Kyo said opening the door.
"NO! Don't get out!" Yuki said, but it was too late. Kyo was standing in Yuki's room gazing down upon the dress clad Yuki. Too late Yuki had realized that the dress could only be taken off if all the tiny buttons hidden on the back were undone, and obviously he couldn't do it himself. He was also too ashamed to ask anyone to help.
Kyo walked towards Yuki very slowly, his eyes fixed on the flustered look on Yuki's face. Yuki stood up and looked Kyo in the eyes.
"What are you doing." Yuki said quietly.
Kyo didn't say anything but gently began to undo the tiny buttons trailing down Yuki's back. Yuki just tilted his head towards the floor and tried to ignore the tender way Kyo was, to be exact, undressing him. Both boys had a deep red painted across their cheeks.
Once all the buttons were undone, the creamy fabric began to slide off Yuki's slender shoulders revealing his porcelain skin. Kyo felt a lump in his throat as he ran his fingers across the smooth skin. Snapping back to his senses, Kyo drew back his hand and quickly exited the room.
Yuki let out a long held breath and almost collapsed onto his bed. Why had Kyo done that. Yuki still felt ghostly tingles of Kyo's touches causing him to flush even darker. Taking the dress off, Yuki put on a pair of pants and a Chinese style shirt.
He walked down to the kitchen and avoided all eye contact with Kyo. They ate in silence until Shigure piped up.
"Ne ne, Kyon-kyon, Yuki-chan, what's got the two of you so silent today?" Shigure said.
"Nothing." Both Yuki and Kyo answered at the same time. They caught each others eye and blushed insanely bright.
"Ooooh I see what's going on!" Shigure said. Yuki and Kyo snapped their heads up and look at their cousin with wide eyes. "Yes, you two have been having secret love trysts right under our very noses!" Shigure said jokingly.
"OF COURSE NOT!" Yuki shouted while Kyo yelled, "NOT A CHANCE YOU STUPID DOG!"
Shigure just laughed at Yuki and Kyo's reactions causing them to sink back to their seat with their normal pissed off looks on their faces.
At the end of dinner, Yuki and Kyo darted back up to their rooms in an effort to avoid having contact with anyone. But as they lay on their beds, the only thing they could think of was the other person that lay behind the thin wall.
