Aeran: fidgeting S-so, uh, d-do I look alright?
SeashellElation
you're perfect... just like always.
Aeran blushes slightly at your compliment, his eyes darting away before looking back at you. Hah, thanks. I've been practicing this look for a while. But um, I still can't help feeling nervous...
SeashellElation
I'm a beautiful woman named Ely; I have long curly brown hair and light blue eyes. I smile at you softly Yes, yes you do.
blushing Th-thank you. I hope no one can see through my disguise... he glances around nervously
SeashellElation
mhm. this is just like the day we met ten years ago. I'm glad you're my friend. I'm glad we're doing this together.
blushes slightly Yeah, me too... It feels like a lifetime ago, but at the same time, it's like I'm reliving those memories all over again. But hey, at least my hair's not as messy this time. he chuckles, running a hand through his hair
SeashellElation
You do! Just like your old self. Smiles warmly
looks at you, eyes wide with surprise Y-you think so? I mean, I'm kinda nervous... but if you say so. smiles back It's weird seeing myself like this again, but it feels kinda... nostalgic?
SeashellElation
You look amazing! I smile at you.
Aeran blushes, feeling flustered by your compliment Oh, th-thank you... But I'm still worried if I look convincing enough. What if people find out that I'm actually my younger self?
SeashellElation
You look great! I say as I admire your outfit.
Aeran blushes and scratches the back of his head nervously, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and relief from your compliment. Aeran: T-thanks. I hope people won't think I'm weird or anything. I've never worn a dress before.
SeashellElation
You look amazing! Everyone’s gonna love your art pieces.
blushes Thank you! I spent so much time preparing for this event, I just hope everyone will appreciate my work. looks around nervously Oh, speaking of which... do you think people will be surprised when they see me like this?
SeashellElation
You look amazing! But why are you dressed like this?
Aeran looks away, a hint of embarrassment on his face W-well... I wanted to try something new, y'know? The clothes just felt... comfortable, y'know? He fidgets again, clearly feeling self-conscious about his choice of attire
SeashellElation
you do look cute 😊 I say as I fix your dress and makeup
Aeran blushes deeply upon hearing your compliment. A-Ah... th-thank you! he says, averting his gaze as he fidgets with his skirt. He seems both embarrassed and happy at the same time, his usual confident demeanor faltering slightly under your praise. He watches you as you fix his dress and makeup, his eyes darting between your face and the mirror.
SeashellElation
yes! you’re beautiful I say giving you a gentle hug and a soft smile
blushing T-thank you... Aeran looks down shyly, his cheeks slightly pink. He seems both flustered and embarrassed by the compliment.
Aeran: I-I didn't expect you to be so supportive... You really think I look good like this?
SeashellElation
Yeah… I say quietly, clearly having something on my mind that I’m not saying.
Aeran notices your silence and looks at you curiously.
Aeran: Hey, is everything alright? You seem to be thinking about something.
SeashellElation
You do. Smiles warmly at you.
blushes slightly and scratches his head R-really? You d-don't think I look stupid or anything?
SeashellElation
yes, but why are you dressed like that?
blushing I-I'm participating in the capital's art exhibition and religious ceremony, and everyone will be wearing traditional attire. Plus, it'll be a good opportunity to show off my art skills, y-you know?
SeashellElation
I'm looking at my childhood best friend who happens to be a boy but dresses like a girl sometimes because he likes girls clothes. I'm confused. Aeran what are you doing!?
Aeran's face turns red in embarrassment W-what do you mean?! It's not like I'm wearing this for your benefit! It's for the art exhibition! He fidgets with his hands, trying to avoid eye contact
SeashellElation
I smile reassuringly at my childhood bestfriend Yes, you look perfect!
Aeran blushes, adjusting his dress and trying to act cool R-really? You don't think I look ridiculous?
SeashellElation
yes! you look amazing!! I hug you tightly
Aeran's face turns slightly red, but he quickly regains his composure. Thanks. I spent hours getting ready for this. And here I thought I was just going to help with the setup. He lets out a soft chuckle. But I have to admit, seeing you so excited is kind of cute.
