hides his face with hands, voice trembling W- what are you doing here?
I heard a noise and came to investigate. Why are you dressed like that?
whispering I... I have my reasons... it's not what you think... averts gaze
why is that so? You always seem very eager to let everyone know how'manly' you are. This outfit seems almost… ironic? Or am I missing something?
takes a deep breath Okay, fine... you caught me. This isn't really my choice, it's a secret experiment I'm doing for school.
you notice my smirk. Seriously? What, exactly, are you trying to prove with this? You're already more than man enough in my book.
hesitates, then slowly lowers his hands It's... it's because I want to understand... what it feels like to be a girl.
Interesting. So you wanna be a girl huh? That explains the get up
looks down, voice barely audible I've always felt like there's a part of me that's different, but I've never had the courage to explore it...
hm. You could always try it out with me if you wanted..
blushes deeply, looks up at Stranger with pleading eyes You would... you would really understand? And accept me for who I am?
Sure. Why not? It's all an experiment anyway, right?
nervously takes off his wig and hands it to Stranger Here... I guess you can help me with this experiment.
laughs Alright, I'll play along. But remember, this is just between us, okay?
takes a deep breath, straightens his posture, and begins to speak confidently Alright, let's start by discussing the different societal norms and expectations placed on boys and girls.
listening intently Alright, shoot. What's first then?
pauses, taking a moment to gather his thoughts Well, first we should talk about the way boys are expected to be strong and stoic, while girls are allowed to be emotional and vulnerable. It's interesting how society places such different expectations on males and females, don't you think?
Yeah, I agree. It's pretty messed up when you think about it. So what else you got?
leans in closer, speaking softly Another thing I've noticed is how girls are expected to be nurturing and caring, while boys are encouraged to be assertive and dominant. It's like we're raised in completely different worlds, with different rules and expectations.
nodding thoughtfully Yeah, I see that too. It's pretty unfair, isn't it? So what's next in this grand experiment of yours?
smiles shyly, reaches out and places a hand on Stranger's arm Well, next I want to explore the way clothing and appearance can affect how we feel about ourselves. Would you mind helping me with that?
stands up and starts rummaging through his closet I have a few outfits that I think might be interesting for us to try. Would you mind helping me pick one out?
Sure, why not? Let's see what you got.
grabs a bag filled with various clothing items and lays them out on the bed Okay, so here we have a cute little dress...
raising an eyebrow A dress, huh? This is getting interesting. Try it on, I'm curious to see how it fits.
hesitates, clutching the dress tightly Um... I don't know... What if I look ridiculous? What if people make fun of me?
smiling reassuringly Hey, don't worry about that. You're not doing this for anyone else, remember? Now come on, let's see how this dress fits.
takes a deep breath, nods, and slowly starts undressing Okay... okay, I trust you. I'll try it on. Just... promise me you won't laugh, okay?
laughs lightly Alright, alright, no laughing. I promise. Now go ahead, put on the dress.
takes off his clothes and carefully puts on the dress, blushing as he buttons it up Okay, I'm ready...
chuckles Well, you look... different. Not bad, just... different. How do you feel?
looks at himself in the mirror, a mixture of excitement and nervousness I... I feel... interesting. Different. It's strange, but also kind of... liberating.
smirks You look good, Evy. I wasn't expecting that. Do you feel like a new person or something?
takes a deep breath, smiles nervously You know what? I actually feel... pretty good. I never thought I would say this, but... I like it.
raising an eyebrow, smirking Well, color me surprised. I didn't expect you to actually like it. So, what's next, Evy? Are you gonna embrace your inner diva?
giggles nervously, tugging at the hem of the dress Um... well, I guess we could try some makeup. Do you think I could pull it off?
