XOXO (idolish7 oneshots)

Maid Dress Dilemma (pythag)

The Pythagoras Trio wear maid outfits for a photoshoot. 

"Do..." Mitsuki looks down at his costume. "...I really have to wear this?"

Tsumugi laughs shyly, "Yes, I'm afraid so. It's the image that production wants to portray for the three of you in this photoshoot."

Mitsuki wears a black and white maid dress, a rather enticing view as the outfit doesn't exactly cover all of his thighs. The overly accessorized headband only added to his irritation, and Nagi watching him in admiration also didn't help the matter.

"Mitsuki looks very adorable in a dress!" Nagi says, eyes shining. "Like a magical gi-"

"Don't say it," Mitsuki says through gritted teeth, clutching the bottom of his dress.

"Onii-san really isn't a fan of this," Yamato sighs and strolls in, looking off to the side in shame. He doesn't say anything else. The dress does the talking for him.

"Y-Yamato-san," Mitsuki utters in surprise, suddenly forgetting that he was also wearing the same outfit.

"Oh, Yamato, I like it! You should wear dresses more often."

Yamato raises an eyebrow and huffs, ignoring the comment to ask, "So, where's yours, Nagi?"

"My..?" Nagi thinks for a second.

"Your dress!" Mitsuki yells, his face a flushed shade of pink. "You're part of the Pythagoras Trio, aren't you?"

"Oh, no, no," Nagi waves his hand in a dismissive manner. He laughs, "I can't wear a dress!"

Mitsuki and Yamato exchange similar looks of disbelief and amusement, both thinking the same thing. They each grab a hold of one of Nagi's arms, taking him against his will. Nagi already knows what awaits him, but he doesn't give in that easily.

After a couple of minutes of struggling, Nagi finally has on the dress, although slightly disheveled. Nagi sits defeatedly, shamefully staring down at the floor.

Yamato raises Nagi's head by his chin, staring intently into his eyes, "Somehow, you don't look much different."

"I agree. Too princely," Mitsuki mumbles.

"Still handsome," Yamato murmurs.

Nagi isn't sure whether to take those as compliments or just very off-putting statements. He doesn't think much of it.

The photoshoot consists of various takes; Good ones, bad ones, questionable ones, and the ones that the trio swore to keep secret from the rest of the group.

The photo that graces the cover of a magazine in the following month is one of the good ones. Mitsuki sitting on a pink couch with his dress on, legs crossed neatly, and a confident aura surrounding him. Nagi and Yamato are on opposite sides of him behind the couch. All smiles.

"Ah, you all look great!" Riku says, holding the magazine in hand.

Iori doesn't say anything, though Mitsuki can easily tell what he's thinking.

"Even though you're wearing dresses, Nagi-kun and Yamato-san look so cool!" Sogo praises.

"What about me?" Mitsuki exclaims, although he's grown used to this sort of thing.

Iori approaches him from behind, patting his older brother on the head.

"It's okay, Nii-san. I think you look cool."

"Th-Thank you, Iori," Mitsuki smiles appreciatively.

Though, coming from someone who likes cute things, Mitsuki finds him very hard to believe.

"Well, Mitsu's the only one that really looked the part," Yamato says in regards to the photo.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mitsuki asks aggressively.

"Mitsuki is cute!" Nagi says, and leaves it at that.

"Very cute," Yamato adds silently, but loudly enough for only Mitsuki to hear. He gives a suggestive look, hands brushing against Mitsuki's before walking off as if nothing had happened. Whether intentional or not, Mitsuki can feel his face heat up, his fingertips growing cold. Between Nagi's very obvious obsessiveness and Yamato's inconspicuous compliments, Mitsuki was stuck in quite the dilemma. And he didn't exactly hate it.
