dormio 2

To say nothing of the way of world but the kind that makes sense, Infinity looked for that sense somewhere in the back of his mind. He walked behind Dormio, his fluttering skirt allowing short glimpses of his feminine buttocks clad with silken threads of a female undies. Gently fluttering as well are the frill located on the seams of his modified school uniform, which unlike the standard ones that the less-than-imaginative girls who wear them; had the number of edges completely covered in soft frills, and the color that match the pure white is complimented by its pink and purple lines one above the other.

The insects round them hummed their morning songs, the loudness deafening even on this small county road that leads to their school. In no time however, just the titter and tatter of their footfalls on the asphalt become even more awkward regrarding their silence. Dormio only focused on trying to walk up, he never looked back to Infinity's clouded eyes as they focused on the draft that fluttered his skirt. Infinity wondered however, summoning all his memories from a long distanced past, a past when he moved from his old home - memories of his best friend.

O matter which of the angles he pondered from, whichever the corners of his memories he looked for - a reason simply did not present itself. Was it Dormio's constantly dissastified family who put so much pressure on his exams since old times? Was it the way he was treated at their old school? Maybe the bullies made him do this out of his will...

"You must be wondering what happened to me aren't you?" Dormio asked, his head unturning as their footfalls towards the school continued unabated.

There was a moment of pregnant silence, and Infinity looked for ways to say his words, but settled with a simple 'yes' .

"It all happened that one time, I never knew it felt that exciting so..." he paused, "you remember don't you, the one time that school play when we were kids we dressed up as Romeo and Juliet...minus the kissing part, but the fun part and twist we did to having Juliet becoming the heroine and the Romeo was actually a prisoner? That was it, dressing up as Juliet just changed me, there I was looking at myself in the mirror when I saw for a moment who I really wanted to be all along..."

Infinity looked for that memory, and it came up fairly easily, it was indeed fun times for the both of them. The play was twisted, demonstrated by yours truly since young to have the activity of the mind that few children their age would inspire. Infinity wrote the script, took out all the best Shakespeare had to offer and folded his own inside, transforming it into a misogynist's nightmare by making Juliet the lead character, a princess who is at once rebelious yet heroically beautiful, risking life and limb to rescue a prisoner at pleasure of his king - their teacher playing the role of the father and king.

When Juliet swooped on the screen, her fluffy skirt that was to her shins length took the crowd by surprise - never did they expect to see Juliet, pint-sized aside, bundled ponytail held together with the same two balled bobbles that are on Dormio's hair now, so tiny, yet wonderfully anti-typical of any scene Shakespeare imagined in his time.

With one bold sword swing towards the end as Juliet uttered... 'Romeo, Romeo...O, why art thou Romeo, the thief of my heart...' Infinity snickered as his own line came up, Juliet-Dormio was just mesmerizing even to a kid like him who hadn't reached puberty... 'I am as I am, a thief of hearts I truly am not, but I do love you... even if thine father imprisons me, my being reaches you each dawn and day and night...O Juliet, from the moment I first laid my eyes on you...I knew it was meant to be...' Without further hesitation, Dormio Juliet swooped down, face full of justice, sword in one hand and shield in the other, proceeded to defeat the guardians of his prison, taking no prisoners as she slays them one by one. Each time she would make sure to say some lines taken from the original Shakespearean works, although they were instead from Macbeth. Accurately speaking it was more of a play from thevents of 'random dashing prince in white armor rescuing prisoned damsel guarded by monsters...with Shakespearean quotes...'

"Do you remember now?" Dormio asked while head still staring at the distance they walked, aready the school came into view, only a few more paces to confront him on his crossdressing and Infinity could not find the heart nor the means to carry his words to Dormio's attention. He wasn't sure if he should, after all to crossdress is a personal hobby and something private like this should be private, and only those privy to its reasons should know. Infinity has no reason to be privy of such details.

"I always wanted to ask you, did you always loved making up? I thought it must take a lot of dedication to make yourself look so pretty..." Before he could stop himself, Infinity allowed those words to escape him, and with it, finally Dormio turned his face to look at Infinity into his eyes...they were pretty eyes that reflected back, so clear and crisp, eyeliner deeply lined in, the subtle touches that make his eyes blend so well with the lightness and fluffyness of the pinkish hue that is on his eyelids that blend perfectly with his skin which is pure porcelain beige.

His face upon closer inspection, revealed so many detailed touches, the pink hue of the cheeks, not too imposing, just perfect. There was the color of his lips, blended lipstick of cherry black and light purple with white marble like lip balm to seal in the colors, make those already pout lips even more feminine yet not trying too hard. Did Dormio always looked this feminine, Infinity could not remember, but more than ever now, he felt a pang of panic surge inside him, his heart rate almost certainly increased a lot.

"Infinity?" Dormio's lips moved, Infinity almost missed his cue to respond but he wasn't sure what he responded with...for a short while, Dormio stepped back, and his lady-like fingers placed lightly on his lips, face red with blood...and blushed, "Really...?" was all Dormio gasped.

Infinity opened his mouth as though to speak, their feet stopped just before the school, and there is a pendulum moment of silence where they once more come to look at each other with some regard, as though not sure going to school is a good idea now. Infinity came to a realization, he said that Dormio was pretty, and that's what caused the silence now. "I...I...didn't meant it that way...alright, I just thought you looked way more girl that boy...man..MAN hell...why you dress up like that. No seriously that's just wrong..." Infinity couldn't piece together why he said those words, huffing and stomping, he left the 'girl' standing by the gate, once more the wind seemed to blow between them and the silence followed by his heavy steps to the shoe lockers became...a distant sound...

There was Dormio, eyes still fixed on Infinity, there were tears in those eyes...
