Ode To A Silly Dress
(Also considered the Sequel to Snips, Snails, and Platypus Tails)
"Oh come on, Perry the Platy- Er, I mean, Perry the Human, it's not that bad!" whined a tall brunet through a closed door. A growl came from the other side of the door, making the man flinch. "You have to understand! I had to hit you with my newest creation, the Huminator!" this was answered by a low hiss. "Please Perry the Human! Find it in your half human, half platypus heart to help me!" the man practically sobbed, falling to his knees and covering his face.
After a few seconds of silence, the door creaked open, brown eyes intent on the spiky brown head below. Teeth were gritted for a moment, before the boy made a slight sound, alerting the man to the other. He glanced up at the other, his eyes alighting with hope.
"Are… Are you going to help?"
"… Ah." Which most likely meant, 'Maybe yes maybe no'
"O-okay. So hear me out." The man, a Dr., started, his hands raising up gently. "Every year, I'm forced to go to a family reunion. And it's always so boring. Everyone always avoids me and its kind of depressing. And after such a long time-I think ten years-I finally figured out why!" he explained, the teal haired boy staring down at him in boredom. "Everyone had someone accompanying them! Even my cousin, Ronaldo, had someone with him. And that was a shocker! So, I thought, 'Hey! Why don't I make a Humanifier and change Perry the Platypus into Perry the Human?!' And here we are!" he exclaimed, smiling up at the teen. "So, Perry the now Human, will you accompany me to my family reunion as my… Date?" the Dr. asked, smiling and holding up a hand to the brown eyed youth.
He stared back blankly for a moment, before his eyes narrowed darkly, his cheeks darkening considerably, before the door slammed again, making the man curse under his breath and then whine.
"It's not asking a lot!!!!"
Inside the room, the boy was staring down at himself, gritting his teeth once more, his canines longer than that of the average human for some reason. Platypuses don't have sharp teeth. But, this was Doofenshmirtz so… His blush darkened at the thought of the Dr.'s name in his head-and it wasn't because he loved him! It wasn't! It really, really wasn't!-, before he shook said appendage and lifted a hand to instinctively brush back a lock of hair that had gotten into his face. He then looked down at himself again and narrowed his eyes. Human skin. Pale and smooth and so… alien to him.
Nothing felt right. Nothing felt… in place. He lowered his hand to his stomach, letting a thumb skate against the skin. So different from his usual, teal skin, and it made a slight, prickling, but not unpleasant sensation rise when his stomach was stroked. Perhaps he was ticklish as a human?
His hand froze as the Dr. started pleading through the door again. His eyes narrowed once more. Who did that moron think he was? Turning him, Agent P, into a human? And then- asking him on a date? He only knew the definition thanks to Candace's rantings of Jeremy this, and Jeremy that, but still! The nerve! He growled darkly, knowing the other had heard him at the slight squeak he heard, making him smirk slightly.
"Come on! I-I'll-" there was a pause. "I'll reveal your secret to your family!" Perry froze.
"N-na?" he stuttered, meaning 'W-what?'
"Yes, Perry the Human." Perry could just hear the smirk. "I'll tell them you're a spy! And even if they think I'm over reacting, you'll be taken away by that over reactive boss of yours!"
Perry's eyes were wide as he listened to this, his heart, now human, pounding in his chest. Tell… tell his family? Tell them what he truly was? Lose Phineas? Ferb? Candance? Linda? Lawrence?
'No…' Perry thought, his breath quick as he stared at the ceiling. 'Not them… not… not… My family… I… they…'
"Weeeell?" the croon made Perry snap out of his daze, his back straightening, blinking his eyes quickly.
'Pull it together, Perry!' he snapped at himself. 'You must do what you must!' he then turned to the door and opened the door enough so that he could see the Dr. and vise versa.
"Mm." he said, nodding slightly and watching as the evilly smiling bad guy brightened, hopping to his feet.
"Marvelous! I can't wait till everyone sees!" he said happily, blue eyes sparkling merrily. Perry stared up into those eyes, his own narrowed, before he began to step out of the room.
"Gah! P-perry the- W-wait a moment, please!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz exclaimed, laying his hands on Perry's shoulders and looking away. "Y-you can't go walking around, willy nilly with no clothes on!" Perry looked down at himself, naked and free for all to see, before he looked back to the Dr. with a raised brow, huffing slightly and earning blue eyes to his own.
'And why not? I hear some humans do that kinds of stuff.' He thought, staring up defiantly into the other's eyes. After a moment, the other spun away, clearing his throat.
"I'll… I'm going to get something for you, alright? J-just stay here!" and with that, he was off.
Perry watched him rush away, before he moved back into the room and sat down on the carpeted floor, sighing and clunking his head against the wall.
'What has this moron forced me into?'

"Mother, Father." Dr. Doofenshmirtz, or Heinz, greeted, earning a slight smile from the woman and a frown from the man.
"Heinz… Heinz… Mein Liebling(1). How are you?" she questioned, making the Dr. smile back.
"Ja mamma. I-"
"Couldn't get a girl? Again?" his father snickered, making Heinz pause. "Why can't you be like your brother? Or my dog, only son?" he complained, making Heinz fume.
"Lieb(2)." His mother whispered, glancing around at everyone else, but did not disagree with what Heinz's father had said.
'Same as always…' Heinz thought, before he cleared his throat as his watch went off, he must have arrived by now.
"Actually… I got someone." Heinz said, making his father raise and incredulous brow.
"Oh? Where is the girl, then?" he replied. Heinz fumbled a bit, looking around, then up at the ceiling.
'Please don't enter from there, Perry the Platypus…'
"Uh… Sh-she is…" it was then that the doors at the top of the staircase opened, and Heinz relaxed, closing his eyes and gesturing towards the doors, not even bothering to look. "There!"
He blinked when they gasped.
"Her?!" they exclaimed in unison. Heinz's brows furrowed.
"What?" he questioned, looking to the staircase, only to freeze at the sight staring down curiously at the ball room.
He had left Perry with instructions on how to get here and the Ballgowninator so he could choose his own dress, knowing that every dress in the thing was suitable to his family's tastes- but he didn't expect it to look so… so… good on the platypus turned human. Nor that he would actually take off his hat and do something with his hair.
He had chosen one of his mother's favorites. Thin white straps were tied behind the boy's neck, the top of the dress adorned with black trim, ruffles laying flatly where the chest would be. Around the waist, the delicate fabric curved and laid against the thin frame snugly, the rest poofing around the other like a rose, giving the impression of innocence, even if it ended just above the knees. And the fact that brown, perceptive eyes darted about the place, observing, soft features framed by just barely shoulder length hair with black barrets. Such a difference from when the hair was tucked up mostly under the hat.
"Sh-she is out of his league!" whispered his father quickly, seeming as breathless as he. "You're lying." It was then that brown met blue, and the boy on the steps straightened, before he made his decent in his pretty white shoes down the staircase.
"Arnost, she is coming this way." His mother said, most likely still looking at the boy descending the stairs. "Heinz isn't lying."
"I-impossible!" his father gasped. Soon, it seemed too soon to Heinz, for Perry had been so far away, the boy was trying to slipping through a few of his relatives who ignored him.
Heinz watched him for a moment, before he found himself smiling slightly. It was… cute? Yes, cute that the other couldn't get through. He stepped forward and took Perry's hand, pulling the boy to him, and accidentally against him.
"There you are.." He said to the other, the boy's face hidden in his chest. "You had me worried." He admitted, only to have Perry raise his head, looking confused and slightly angry.
'Right… He can't understand me.' He thought.
"Thank goodness you're here. I was getting worried you wouldn't show." He whispered, pulling away and turning Perry and himself around to face his parents. "Mother, Father, this is, Perry Flynn-Fletcher." He introduced. "My… girlfriend." He said after a moment, feeling Perry bristle under his hands.
"Ah… Hallo, Perry." His mother managed. "Welcome to our (3)partei." Perry nodded in response, earning a puzzled look from Heinz's mother. He cleared his throat.
"Perry has a sore throat, Mother." Heinz lied, the confusion wiping away from the woman's face. Perry nodded, having already agreed on that being the story of why he wasn't talking.
"Oh, I see… I'm Adala Doofenshmirtz." she said, before she elbowed her husband in the side, making him snap his mouth shut. "Lieb, introduce us."
"Ah? Oh! Ja, ja…" the man muttered, before he cleared his throat. "Arnost Doofenshmirtz."
"Ah." Perry uttered quietly. Heinz laughed nervously, before he coughed.
"Well… this… is awkward."
"It seems so!" Heinz froze at the voice, whipping around and letting go of Perry in the process, his blue eyes wide as he stared at his slightly taller brother. "Hello, brother."
"Roderick…" Heinz growled, his fists clenching tightly.
"Ah, such hostility, Heinz?" he chuckled, looking over his head, his eyes sparking in a way that made Heinz nervous.
"You brought someone this year?"
"Yes. I did." Heinz said defiantly, hearing Perry move so that he was beside him, his brother's eyes following. "Looks like you don't have one." Heinz gloated, only to be ignored. "Hey!"
"Hallo my fair beauty." Heinz's eyes widened at his brother's words, watching in utter shock as he took Perry's hand, who looked confused, his brows furrowing. "It is a pleasure to meet such a delicate flower." He then slid his eyes to Heinz. "Too bad you have to wither under the darkness of my brother." Heinz's face burned red in outrage, before he snatched Perry's wrist, ignoring his father's laughs.
"Get your hands off Perry!" he spat, holding the boy up against him possessively. "He- Uh, she is mine! Not yours!" he stuttered, glaring harshly at his Goody Two Shoes Brother.

"N-na? M-me-" Perry struggled out, probably saying something like, 'Wh-what? L-let-', trying to get out of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's grip, only to be pulled against his chest, a hand burying into Perry's hair and petting gently. Almost immediately, Perry's bones melted, his legs shivering underneath him at the feel of long fingers carding through his hair. It seemed that, as a human, his head was also his weakness… Ah, what did he care?
Perry purred with the attention, turning his head to nuzzle Dr. Doofenshmirtz's suit, spicy cologne hitting his nose.
"(4)Sachejunge… Beruhigen Sie unten und entspannen Sie sich, gut?" the Dr. whispered in his ear, the german making Perry's spine tingle for some reason. And why didn't he speak in English? Well, whatever reason, it didn't really matter, did it? Not as long as he kept petting him like that…
'Ooooh… right there…' he thought, craning his neck and bumping his hand against the Dr.'s hand.
"Heinz, your (5)Bruder was just joking! No need to overreact!" the Dr.'s mother exclaimed.
"(6)Uberragieren Sie? Überreagieren Sie?!"
'Hmm… It seems he speaks in his native language when he's angry…' Perry observed dazedly, closing his eyes, little hearts slowly appearing above his head.
"Er setzte die Bewegungen auf Perry, Mutter!"
"You are an idiot. Stop trying to bring shame to your Bruder."
"(7)…Fein. Glauben Sie nicht, was vor Ihren Augen ist." Suddenly, the hand was gone from his head and he was dragged through the crowds, the Dr. muttering under his breath.
Perry blinked, staring blankly at the passing people for a minute, before he growled.
'Damnit! He did it again!' he thought, glaring up at the Dr., only to gasp and lose his glare as the other suddenly halted, his blue eyes laid on the ground.
"…Ah?" Perry questioned, making the Dr.'s eyes widen, before he looked to the young teenage platypus.
"Nothing, Perry." He said, smiling at him, though Perry could tell something was wrong.
"Tu." He scoffed, which probably meant something like, 'Right. I completely believe that'. Doofenshmirtz seemed to get the gist of it. The smile he gave seemed more black that white.
"We shouldn't be talking about this nonsense. I should be showing you a good time."
"Ne?" Perry uttered, which probably meant, 'Really? I thought that, as your nemesis, I wasn't allowed to.', blinking in confusion.
"Come, let's go get something to eat, Perry." Doofenshmirtz said, before he began to lead Perry through the crowd of people, said platypus turned human realizing that the other had stuck with simply, Perry, and had not added on 'the Human' or 'the Platypus'.
'Why does that make me feel… empty?' he thought, before, quite suddenly, he found a strawberry in his face.
"Come now, open wide." Doofenshmirtz urged, smiling as if it wasn't odd to be offering your enemy a strawberry right in front of his mouth. Perry eyed the strawberry, wondering if he could eat it now that he was human…
"Oh come on! It's not going to kill you!" with that, the strawberry was pushed against his lips and into his mouth, his instincts making him bite and chew.
'Hey!' he thought, glaring as he chewed, only to stop as he realized that it tasted… good. Very good in fact. He swallowed and was silent for a moment, before he looked around, made sure no one was watching, then, with a blush, raised a hand and pointed at his mouth, opening it again, making a small noise.
He puffed out his cheeks as the other smirked. So he was fully recovered from his sadness, huh?
"Oh? Would you like more?" he chuckled, before he brought another strawberry to Perry's lips, this time with whipped cream on it. "Try this. It'll make it taste even better, trust me."
'Trust my nemesis?' Perry thought, even as he bit into the strawberry. 'How unthinkable.' However, the strawberry did taste even better. His tongue darted out to lick at a remnant of whipped cream, his eyes alight with excitement at the sweet flavor.
"Another, Perry?" Doofenshmirtz asked, looking amused. Perry gave a nod, watching as the strawberry came towards him, before he leaned forward 10% and bit into it, pulling back and making a pleasured sound. He had eaten almost the whole thing this time, and the slightly sour flavor at the base made his taste buds tingle. "Woah! Slow down there!" laughed Doofenshmirtz, before he offered Perry a whole plate, a few sauces on it as well. "Here."
With his eyes sparkling, Perry took the plate and lifted a strawberry, before he looked quizzically at the Dr.
"What?" he questioned. Perry motioned the strawberry he was holding at the sauces he didn't recognize. "Oh! Well, the brown one is chocolate. And the light goldish one if caramel." He explained. Perry nodded in thanks, before he sampled the sauces.

The rest of the party had passed swimmingly. The others hadn't approached Heinz, though he couldn't care less, really. The evening was spent with his arch nemesis, introducing him to foods, telling him more about his family, and such. Just things that seemed entertaining. But, the odd thing about it, was, as the night went on, he felt as though they were being watched.
So, of course, when someone pulled him to the side, he shouldn't have been surprised. But he was. When he was pulled, he had almost screamed, only for his mouth to be covered as he was dragged behind a pillar.
"(8)M-mutter?!" he hissed, confused as he stared down at his mother. "What-"
"Heinz, Did you pay her?" she questioned quietly, looking determinedly at her son. Heinz stared down at her, unsure of what to say.
"…What?"
"If you did, then, I would be fine with it.." She continued. "No one would blame you."
"You…" Heinz searched her eyes. "You really think that… that I would do that?" he questioned, pain in his heart.
"Heinz…"
"Why do you, always think that I can't succeed? That I can't obtain anything unless I bribe or trick?"
"Now dear..."
"Is it because I am not successful like Roderick? Is it because he is your favorite and I am just the other son that won't amount to anything?" he ranted, his mother now looking away.
'So… that's it.' he thought, his body shivering with pain.
"Well... So that is it, huh? I don't live up to your expectations? Well, let me tell you something. She," he pointed at Perry, looking confused and lost and very irritated. "thinks that I live up to her expectations.." He told her, his tone shivery on his tongue. "We like each other. We see each other every day. We almost always enjoy each other's company. I did not pay her Mother. I would never do that. Because I… Because I…" Doofenshmirtz trailed off, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, his eyes wide as he stared at the ground. Could it be? No! It was impossible. The consequences he would face! But… if it wasn't that then what…
'Oh god… Heinz, what have you gotten yourself into?' he thought, turning away from his mother and heading to the youth looking for him.
'How could I not have noticed it before?' he asked himself, just reaching Perry as a song started.
"Perry."

Perry looked over his shoulder and blinked, before he gave Heinz an irritated look and growled, turning to fully face him.
'How could I…'
"Care to dance?" Heinz questioned, watching as Perry's anger fell and he stared, seeming shocked, at him. After a moment, Perry nodded slightly, before he was pulled to Heinz. "Good."

Heinz pulled Perry into a gentle sway, their left and right hands holding each other's, while his right laid on Perry's side. Heinz stared down at Perry, his eyes focusing on brown, the words of the song echoing in his head.
'The memories we share...'

'Of fighting... of me caging you... Of me finding your weakness... Of you saying that I was evil that time my mentor scorned me... Perry the Platypus...' Heinz watched as Perry looked down at the floor, looking terribly awkward to him. Heinz felt himself smile slightly, before he let the hand on the boy's hip slowly slide down.

Perry's gaze snapped up from the floor at the feel of the descending hand, sliding down, down, making his body tingle in alertness, the hand slipping in between the folds of the skirt, the other's fingers expertly touching the base of his tail and rubbing there gently.
Without his consent, his cheek reddened and he found himself leaning into the other, burying his face into the soft fabric of the other's suit.
"Nn…" he murmured, his movements more lax as Doofenshmirtz let his fingers slowly travel along the tail covered by the thin fabric of his dress. "Ah-…"
'This is so much better as a human...' Perry thought, hearts popping into existence at a particularly good rub. "Mn…"

________________________________________________________________________
"Ma…" Perry whined happily, if that was possible, his free hand clutching into Doofenshmirtz's suit. This feeling was so much different when he was a platypus. The feeling now, like a burning in his stomach, twisting, writing, was so new and odd.
The Dr. shushed in his ear, making shudders run up and down his spine.
"Shush..." he crooned, his voice soothing, making Perry purr in pleasure. The touch he received, so soft and caring and careful, made his heart race wildly.

It was kind of like an overly mushy part that he saw in his stories. He really needed to get some free time to watch them.
'I wonder if he likes Soap Operas...' he wondered absently, inhaling the other's cologne again, the gentle rubbing making him sigh and purr and gasp as they swayed to the music. He wondered what it was saying...

_________________________________________________________________________
Heinz mentally snorted.
'How many times have I thought that?' he wondered to himself. 'For him to give up. To either join me or perish a terrible doom?' he thought, letting his hand slide from the folds of the fabric and re situate itself on Perry's curved hip.
A lot of things shouldn't be possible. Like, how an animal could be a secret agent. Or, how a male could have curves. But what should be especially impossible, was what he was feeling, what he realized he'd felt all along.
He watched as Perry blinked, before he glared up at him, his cheeks dark with embarrassment, brown eyes shining with annoyance and humiliation.
"Don't be embarrassed." he whispered, smiling slyly at the boy. Perry, in response, scowled and turned his head away, though he kept it up against Heinz's chest. This made Heinz smile softly.
Perhaps Perry the Platypus felt it too? What a relief it would be if he did... With a gentle movement, he was spinning with Perry, the platypus turned human forced to take his head from Heinz's chest as a result. A spot light shone down on them, a cliché way to express love, Heinz was sure. But, it was appreciated all the same.

'What I'm feeling for you, what you're making me do, how you scowl, how you trick, how you smile at me, with me, for me...' Heinz thought, closing his eyes. 'Like no one else has ever done, like no one else will probably do...' tears welled in his eyes. 'God, please tell me, you do too... feel this connection?'

Perry watched as a pained, look filled the Dr.'s face, making him furrow his eyebrows. What was wrong with him?
"Na?" he murmured, watching as the other opened his eyes. They stared at each other as they danced.

After a moment, Doofenshmirtz leaned forward and whispered, softly, almost tearfully,
"Leibst du mich sag?" in time with the song, except only once, before he continued. "(9)Erkläre mir, Sie liebe mich?" the words, quiet and desperate, made Perry's heart pound. He knew the other was saying something important. It had to be. "Perry, ist es so falsch… Was ich glaube… Es ist nicht recht. Es ist nicht. Ich weiß, dass es ist nicht, aber noch… Ich kann ihm nicht helfen, weil I…" Perry could feel the Dr. shaking. His own cheeks were darkening at this intimate moment, the man, the human, almost sobbing on his now human shoulder, holding him so close, whispering german in his ear, using him as almost a life line. "Weil I…"
Before he could finish, Perry found his hand in the Dr.'s hair, rubbing soothingly.
"Nn." he murmured, pressing his cheek to the other's. He had seen Linda do this to Candace when she was younger, less independent. But, it felt like so much more than a family embrace, or a friend embrace. There... it... There was no way to describe the feeling in his chest as he comforted the man, shushing to him as he had done before, except for different reasons.
'I'm here...' he thought, cooing sounds into the other's ear. 'I'm here. I'll support you. I'll hold you up, Dr. I will, I promise. You're my nemisis. My one and only one. I will never let you go. I will always be here. Always. Because I... we... You...' his cheeks darkened and he closed his eyes, shutting them tight. 'Phineas... you were right... I... I...'
It was then, somehow, someway, their lips were together, pressing desperately, urgently against one another's, realization clear in each other's hearts as they held on tight.
Liebst du mich...
(Do you love me...)

Phineas was wringing his hands together wildly, staring out the window, Ferb sitting beside him, staring down at the yard. It was so late, so dreadfully late, and Perry wasn't back yet. He usually came a little bit before or after their project disappeared.
"Perry... Ferb what are we going to do?" Phineas whispered, tears welling in his eyes, the usually brave boy starting to break down at the thought of losing their beloved pet.
With a gentle motion, Ferb and an arm full of Phineas, the slightly pointy headed boy whining into his chest. Ferb's usually blank expression morphed into sadness, staring down at his brother's red hair and gulping. Perry would be back soon. He knew it. Perry, though a platypus, was like him, mysterious. He probably did things they couldn't even fathom, and was simply running late on one of his tasks.
He looked out the window and paused a moment, before he blinked, the blank look returning. He tapped Phineas and motioned to the window, telling his brother all he needed to know.
"P-perry?" Phineas stuttered, a smile spreading on his lips, before he quickly dragged Ferb and himself down the stairs, through the kitchen, and to the back yard.
"Perry!" he cried, tackling the little platypus, and hugging him tightly. "We're so glad you're home, buddy!" he cheered, before he pulled the platypus away from him and blinked at the sight of the semi-aquatic mammal looking dazed and flushed.
"...Oh! I get it!" Phineas suddenly burst out. "You were with your special friend again! And it looks like it was a success!" Phineas chirped, standing with Perry in his arms and showing him to Ferb. "Right, Ferb?"
"... Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" Ferb questioned, making Phineas hum to himself, his previous sadness completely gone.
"Well... by the swoony way he's acting... I think it's a boy! Because that's how Candace looked when she fawned over Jeremy!" Phineas decided.
"So no platypups then?" Ferb queried. Phineas frowned, before he smiled.
"Oh,
we can do something about that, I'm sure.
