“You know, Eret’s wearing a dress, and they’re being crowned King,” Tommy said as he and one of his best friends, Ranboo, weaved their way in a dress shop owned by Puffy.
“Yeah, she told me,” Ranboo said, their eyes noticing a beautiful black and purple ball gown. The over layer of purple draped down, but in one spot on the left side, it looked to be raised up enough to reveal a black skirt underneath.
Tommy glanced behind him and noticed them repeatedly glancing at the dress, he grinned, pretending to be interested in a green gown. “You can pick out a dress as well, you know. You don’t have to wear that suit, Prime knows you wear it any other time of the year.”
“I’m fine with my suits,” Ranboo responded, following Tommy as he walked to the red section. “What type of dress is Eret wearing? Do you know?”
“I think it was red and gold,” Tommy said, looking at a red and white gown. “You think this would be too much?” He asked, point at one that, most definitely, was too much.
“Yeah, the attention is on Eret, not on you,” They joked, and Tommy laughed with a nod. “What about this one?” Ranboo walked him over to a white dress with the bottom of the skirt red fading up into white, with fake rose petals laced in with the skirt. At the top it had lace that held it up on his shoulders, it weaved with red but was mainly white with white pearls placed in. It wasn’t puffed out largely, like a princess dress, but it did have some poof with it. Similar to the one Ranboo was eyeing before.
“I do like this one,” Tommy nodded, “I should try it on before, right? Is that what I do? I’ve never done this before.”
“You think I have?” Ranboo chuckled as Puffy walked over.
“Hello,” She greeted, and they both hello’d back. “Do you want to try it on?” She asked kindly.
“Yeah, is that? Yeah,” Tommy stammered and Puffy nodded, before glancing at Ranboo.
“And you? Do...you have one picked out?” She asked Ranboo, who opened his mouth to speak, but Tommy cut them off.
“Actually, I think they do,” Tommy said, pointing to the purple dress.
Ranboo went to deny it, but Puffy was already getting the dress and Tommy grinned at them. “C’mon, at least try it on, for me?” Tommy asked, batting his eyelids like he was a doll. Ranboo huffed, but reluctantly agreed.
When Puffy returned, she had a smile, “Luckily, I think this dress will fit your height nicely, do either one of you think you’ll need assistance putting it on?” She asked, handing the dress to Ranboo.
“Um, if I think we got it,” Tommy said, and Puffy nodded.
“Alright, just holler if you need me or my assistance, we’ll be standing out front while you guys get changed,” Puffy smiled, leading them to the changing rooms.
Tommy and Ranboo both entered the room, and Ranboo stared at the purple and black dress. They sighed, before going to put it on.
When the dress was on them, they found it easy to zip it up most of the way, and then having to do arm tricks to zip it up the rest of the way. Puffy was right, it did fit his height well. He did a small spin, staring at himself in the mirror. It felt good, breezy. They felt pretty.
Tommy, bless him, had a harder time with the zipper, and had to step out to get some help. Lucky for him, there was a mirror out in the sitting area, and Tommy got to see a full view. Tommy did a little spin, and the skirt fluffed out and Tommy smiled.
“You like it?” Puffy asked, and Tommy nodded happily. He’d worn dresses before, but nothing to this extent, usually they were just summer dresses. “Good, Ranboo! Do you need some help?” Puffy asked.
Ranboo stepped out then, almost looking shy, “No, sorry,” They mumbled, and Tommy grinned.
“Look at you! C’mere!” Tommy said, grabbing Ranboo’s hand, and pulling him over to the full length mirror. Together, they looked awesome, each dress matching them perfectly. Tommy had Ranboo do a small spin, and Ranboo reluctantly did. “You look so pog, Ranboo!”
“He’s right, you look amazing,” Puffy agreed, and Ranboo grinned.
“Thank you,” They mumbled, getting a bit more comfortable. “I do really like it!”
“Good!” Puffy said, “Should we get you both checked out then?” She asked.
The two agreed and went to get changed again. And when they went home, they both had two new dresses to wear to Eret’s coronation. And Tubbo was more than happy to walk them both in.
