He Left Sparkles in his Wake

Watch Your Profanity

Creeps checked Richard over while Leo relaxed against a wall on the other side of the room.

"Thank you for bringing him in, Sebastian." Creeps mumbled while filling out paperwork to excuse Richard and 'Sebastian' from class. Leo grumbled slightly and walked over to the shorter boy.

"So, Sebastian?" He asked with a slight smirk.

"I'm trans....male to female. I still like girls though. And Leo is more neutral..." He explained  slowly. His voice carried what sounded like a mixture of shame and fear.

"Don't sweat it kid. I'm gay, short, and practicing to be drag queen." Richard responded lightheartedly. For having the snot beat out of him, he was in a fairly good mood again. "Forte is my drag name." He clarified. Leo gasped and jumped up and down.

"Oh my god! Someone who understands how amazing it is to be a woman!" He squealed. Creeps somehow hadn't heard any of this; he handed the papers and medicine to the rightful individuals just as the bell rang to end the day. Leo and Richard exited the office to nearly bump into Jared.

"Hey Richard! Hello, you captivating creature." He stated and stopped against the wall near them. Jared flipped his hair and Leo was taken back.

"Who's Glitter?" He asked Richard softly.

"That's Mr. Glitter to you. This is Jared; he's a friend of mine." Richard responded with a wide grin.

"You up for tonight?" He asked as the three of them began heading back to Bluebell. Richard quirked a brow in confusion while Jared wiggled his. Leo walked on in confusion, but assumed that something gay was bound to be planed for later that night. The Normal Boots member mouthed the letter D twice and finally the slowly bruising boy understood. His first time playing D&D at Asagao would be later today. The three of them chatted idly until they went to their separate floors of the dormitory. Richard set about gathering his player sheet, getting into costume, doing his makeup, and making sure everything would hopefully be perfect. Maybe Jared would fall in love with him if played an amazing game? Who knew; he hoped that everything would work in his favor for once. Under the cover of darkness, Jared arrived at his door. He was dressed in a blue robe with a matching hat. Meanwhile, Richard was dressed in light blue and black dress that, scandalously, revealed his shoulders due to noodle straps. His makeup and wig were modest but conveyed the fact that his character was a female.

"You look stunning." Jared said slowly. The dark corridor hid his face from Richard's view, but he swore that Sparkles was blushing. The shorter male held onto his favorite person's hand as they made their way to the school building and into a tiny classroom. The four Hidden Block members smiled, except for Ian, at the sight of the last to players entering the room that was too small to contain any more people.  Jared was the director this game and quickly briefed the group on their tasks, starting items, and such. Richard went to role to search for a torch on the floor of the cave they started in, but rolled a one. The worst possible role he could have made.

"Sssshhhhugar cookies." He hissed under his health and documented the damage he had taken. Everyone else chuckled at the child friendly substitute for the obvious swear word. This continued on with every turn our protagonist took.

"Diligence." "Containment." "Frick n' a half." "Mother's farm."

Finally, with one health, Richard rolled to see if he could defeat the enemy he was battling. He rolled another one.

"Bend me over the table and fuck me! I died..." Richard exclaimed. After a milisecond of silence, he covered his mouth in shock. "Oh Mai gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't realize that I swore." He felt terrible, but everyone else began laughing.

"Yep. You're deffinatly gay." Luke said as the room quieted down again. The others continued to play, but Richard messed around on his phone until he realized he had a message from Cake. He clicked it open and his eyes weld up with tears. The message was of a small hand drawn picture of a little curly haired dork with glasses, with the name Richard scrawled beside it.

"What's up?" Jared asked as the game paused for a moment.

"Cake drew me...no one's ever drawn me before." He stated in amazement and proceded to thank her as much as he possibly could.
