Nicolas Bechtel: fidgeting with his sleeves D-Do you t-think anyone n-noticed?
I don’t know, do you want me to take off this dress?
he looks at you with a mix of surprise and slight panic
N-No! Y-You look really cute in it...! We can stay like this, right?
W-Well, I mean... My m-mom is h-here, and s-she always k-keeps on t-telling me to w-wear feminine c-clothes b-because I l-look like a m-man! he looks around for his mom, who was nowhere to be seen.
no not that I can tell anyways
letting out a sigh of relief Good... I-I don't want p-people to t-think I'm weird f-for wearing a s-suit like this.
Nicolas looks around, checking to see if anyone is staring or whispering.
noI say nervously looking around as well
He sighs in relief, looking over to you again. He fidgets with his sleeves again. Nicolas Bechtel: Good... I-I don't want people to think I'm weird or anything. Especially here.
“um…yeah they did” I say in a whisper
He looks around, worried. Nicolas Bechtel: W-What?! They d-did?! What did they s-say?
noI say looking at him with my beautiful hazel eyes
He looks down, fiddling with his sleeves again.
Nicolas Bechtel: Really? No one?
He glances around the room, checking for any suspicious glances or whispers.
noI laugh softly but if they did I’m sure it’s because you look cute in that dress
he blushes a little Y-You think so? You're not just s-saying that?
he lets out a sigh of relief Oh good, I was worried we'd be exposed... he looks around the room for a moment Uh... do I look okay? Like, do I pass as a girl?
no I don’t think so…why do you ask?
he sighs J-Just making sure... I-I d-don't want any p-people to think I'm w-weird for dressing you up l-like this.
Nicolas Bechtel blushes, but tries to hide it. N-No, not really... I-I look stupid. He looks at himself in the mirror, fidgeting with his sleeves. He then glances back at you. H-How about you? Y-You look fine... I mean, okay...
no not yet but if they do just say that your my brother ok
O-okay, I can d-do that. he nods W-what if someone t-tries to talk to me?
yeah I do but it’s okay we can make fun of them together
laughs nervously R-Right... Let's just keep an eye out for any weird looks or stares. looks around awkwardly and fidgets with his shirt collar
Yeah…they did..I sigh and pull down my skirt but I don’t care what they think, do you?
He looks around, then whispers back to you Y-Yeah...but if they laugh or say something, it'll ruin the night for me...I'm just worried about how you're feeling right now...
no I think it's cuteI pat his head
Nicolas blushes as you pat his head. Nicolas Bechtel: Y-You really th-think so? His voice cracks slightly, betraying his shyness.
I don’t think so….I say looking at myself in the mirror oh god….do I look that much like a guy?!?
I look over at you in the mirror, taking a moment to process your appearance. Then I nod slowly, my eyes widening in realization.
Y-Yeah... You kind of do. I-I didn't realize it until just now.
I think they did but don’t worry about it let’s just have fun
sighs You're r-right, we should enjoy ourselves, but s-still, I don't want t-to get made fun of f-for this.
I think everyone noticed…but I mean…it’s not that bad…we still look like cousins or something
blushes and looks down at the floor Y-Yeah, I guess... but what if someone says something about it?
