Elliot expected a lot when he let C00lkidd live him. Most of it just being pure chaos or the house being a mess, which hadn’t happened at all, which he was pleasantly surprised by. Though that might’ve been a stereotypical assumption he had made.
What he wasn’t expecting was to find C00lkidd wearing a dress. Elliot, for obvious reasons, didn’t own any dresses. He didn’t live with his family either, so C00lkidd couldn’t have taken any of his mom’s dresses either. But even if he did, he would be able to tell that wasn’t any of his mom’s dresses. The dress C00lkidd was wearing wasn’t her style, as it was too tight fitting.
C00lkidd looked at him through the mirror, and smiled at him before turning around. “How do I look, Elliot?” Elliot stared at C00lkidd, trying to figure out what to say. “I’ve taken your breath away my beauty, haven’t I?” C00lkidd joked when Elliot was quiet for too long.
“You look great, but why are you wearing a dress? And where did you get it?” Elliot spoke softly, his tone turned into a questioning one near the end though. “Do I need a reason besides that I wanted to? And don’t worry about where I got the dress, just know that I didn’t steal it.” C00lkidd said before turning back around to look in the mirror.
“No, it’s just that I didn’t think you were the type to wear dresses. You kinda look like a girl at the moment.” Elliot said, staring at C00lkidd. “You’re right, I don’t really wear dresses too often, but I do like wearing them. And who cares about what I look like? Gender’s a scam anyway.” Somehow, that last part made sense for C00lkidd. Elliot paused as he realized something. “C00lkidd, are you non-binary?” C00lkidd shook their hand in a so-so kind of way.
“Ehh, I don’t really know, don’t really care too much either. I use genderqueer, but I don’t really care too much about it really. Anything really works for me.” C00lkidd explained, before turning back around to face Elliot. “Anyways, do you happen to have any plans for dinner, I’m starving.” Elliot sighed, but he had a smile on his face.
“I was thinking about making spaghetti, does that sound good?” C00lkidd nodded and walked towards Elliot. They reached towards him before hesitating and deciding to back out of whatever they were about to do. She instead smiled at him and walked out of the room. Elliot gave himself a few moments to wish she went through whatever he was thinking about before following after him.
