[ of course, as it turns out, the one thing that she's forgotten to mention to lyssa was the fact that she didn't really have a convenient method of transportation. all she'd asked for the location & time, thinking that would have been enough. of course it hadn't been.

... oh well.

hooking her small messenger bag-slash-purse on her shoulder, she bids her dad goodbye after reassuring him that she'll be back by ten (yes, yes, don't worry, just the mall--). & promptly feels glad that she left two hours before the time she's supposed to meet lyssa 'cause she just missed the bus & the next one won't be arriving for another half-hour. she settles down, pews & waits. long story short (after she subtracts the bus ride & all the weird things her hair is doing in the humidity), she manages to get to the mall in once piece: none of her organs are missing, her dress isn't ripped up, & no one had shoved her head down a toilet. day's pretty good so far (where's wood to knock on when she needed some?). 'cept the fact that she's probably a few minutes late, but--

... oh well.

she'll apologize to lyssa as soon as she can find him. ]

[ & he does fill in those blanks, if only briefly, as he's too busy pulling out what looks like a gown. it's of the same color of the blouse, only it has more details and some extra fabric. sets it aside and looks it over... then starts tugging off his shirt, speaking as he goes along. ]

Maybe. For now I'll only make a handful of them if I get the okay from the art department at my school. We usually have one last art show after finals, so I'll present some of the designs there and see how it goes.

[ & the buttons are being done one by one. once he's done with that, he glances at the sleeves & seems to decide to fold them up to the elbow, just to see how it looks. (not bad.) ]

On average, how many of your designs were turned down?

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

One. They didn't take kindly to this dress I once made in junior year. It was apparently too 'risque'. [ picks up the dress and eases it on once he's taken off his pants. fiddles with the fabric a little. ] It's not like most of the boys there hadn't seen a woman wearing lingerie before, so why would a dress inspired by it be a problem? I didn't get it, but I backed off and tried something a little more conservative.

[ settles back down on the couch, watching in faint amusement as lyssa casually crossdresses. shakes his head at it & leans back, letting the kid do his thing without comment, finding the topic more interesting for now. ]

Business-casual shouldn't have those pitfalls. [ if you did it right. ] I'd go into this project as a done deal with those statistics.

1/2

[ lets out a hum and a nod, though his eyes are still fixated on his current predicament. ]

I agree, but I'm much more interested in my final project right now. I've been working on it for four years, you know! [ ties the material around his waist, tugging at it. ] Unfortunately, my muse had a crisis to attend to. So here I am, using you for something else instead.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ & then he's finished, turning fully to face nick, hands on his hips. after looking him up and down: ]

Looks good on you. Matches your eyes. How's the fit?

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ snorts & extends a hand toward lyssa. ]

Better than that dress is on you.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ twirls once to remove the amount of space between them, placing his hand into nick's palm. ]

I'll alter it later.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ flexes his fingers a little, then grasps the hand firmly to tug lyssa toward him. ]

So this isn't some fetish of yours?

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ wobbles a bit before losing balance planting himself into nick's lap. ]

Unfortunately not. I'm just a normal, healthy young male with an eye for fashion. [ pauses. raises an eyebrow. ] Unless you want it to be a fetish, that is.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ huffs out a soft breath of disbelief while shifting his legs from where they're cushioning lyssa. there, that was more comfortable (for him, anyway). ]

Can't say it's my thing. But I'm sure there're others out there that'll appreciate your inclinations toward dresses.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ cranes his neck a bit to nuzzle the side of nick's face with his nose, nipping at an earlobe. ]

Yeah, like women.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ tips his head back, enjoying that as he slides his hands back down to lyssa's hips again. ]

So quick to generalize?

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ toys with the buttons on the blouse with a hand, unbuttoning one of them. ]

Sure. It's no concern of mine right now.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ leans forward to begin his own nipping: the corner of the mouth, the jaw, the neck. nosing the line of lyssa's neck, he huffs again in amusement. ]

Bravo. Exemplifying the attitudes of teenagers everywhere.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ after another button is loosened he tilts his head to the side to expose his neck more, laughing lightly. ]

I'm doing a good job so far, aren't I? Maybe I should be an actor instead.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ teethes along lyssa's neck some more, giving harder bites here & there until he reaches up to slide down a shoulder strap. uses the other one to tug lyssa closer to him on his lap. ]

It's a venue worth considering. [ while his tone suggests everything but. ] Take after your mother's trade.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

A model, hm? [ runs a finger up and down his chest, sighing out his next words. ] Then what kind of modeling should I do, sir?

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ switches hands to unhook the strap off the other shoulder, letting the material fall away. ]

Whatever's in demand. You'll hit a kink of mine sooner or later.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ pauses in nosing at his hair. ]

I thought I was hitting one of them every time I showed up at your doorstep.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ pulls away from where he'd been sucking/biting at lyssa's neck. ]

There's that habit of generalization again.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right, you probably have specifics. [ mouths at an earlobe as he speaks. ] Maybe a different boy for every day of the week? Blonds on Sundays and Mondays, a redhead or two on Tuesdays and Thursdays...

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ he's going to give himself a concussion if he has to keep rolling his eyes. so just tugs lyssa closer. ]

Mhmm. And a brunette is coming over after you, so let's finish this up, hm?

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ smiles widely, slipping out of his grasp to stand. just lets the gown fall off of him after untying the sash around his waist, leaving it there. ]

I don't mind them joining in, but it'll cost you extra.

[cityblocks.livejournal.com]

[ & gets to his feet while lyssa does that. considers lyssa for a moment, then loops his arms around the boy's waist to pick him up as best as he can. not exactly the lightest load, but they're not going very far -- just the bedroom. rears up to kiss him.

after pulling back & in the middle of walking toward his room: ] How much extra?
