------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Joey's POV)

I love dressing up, simple as that. I love the feeling of both types of clothing. I don't believe that clothing should have a gender to it, therefore, I'd wear all types. I love wearing dresses (only for a special occasion), leggings, pink everything, sweaters that are so long that they cover my hands. My boyfriend Daniel has no idea, however, that I wear these things. I know, he's blind. He believes that I'm wearing dark jeans and a light red shirt. Light red. I'm serious, he said that. I want to tell Daniel about the 'cross-dressing', but I'm afraid of the judgment. I know that he might not say anything about it, but people at school have and some people like to bully me because of the way I dress.

Walking into school with Daniel, he kisses my cheek before we go to our lockers which are luckily right next to each other. Someone taps me on the shoulder repeatedly, it's my friend Shane. "Joey! Did you see what the theme is for prom this year?" I shake my head "you have to see this! You're going to be so thrilled!" Pulling my arm, Shane drags me to the bulletin board by the office, pointing excitedly. My eyes widen when I see the sparkly blue cursive 'Cinderella Ball' "this is our prom theme?!" Shane nods "oh yeah, I had to fight with Ricky Dillon over this, he wanted 'A Night to Remember' but ugh, that is too cliche!" I squealed happily, hugging my friend with a smile "thank you so much, Shane! I know the best dres-" Shane shushes me and points behind me, Daniel was walking toward me "best dress shirt! It's this light green, almost like the color I used to photoshop my eyes with." Nodding, Shane whispers "good cover" and pulls me to the bathroom "how come you haven't told Daniel yet?" "I'm sorry! I just don't know when a good time will be" Shane hugs me before we go back to our lockers.

Daniel meets me at my locker with his arms crossed "what were you and Shane talking about?" "Just the theme of the prom Daniel" he's been protective over me when it comes to Shane ever since the kids at school were shipping 'Shoey' for about two years. Before Daniel came into the picture. He smiles, kissing my forehead "so Joey, I didn't get a chance to see the theme of the prom, do you know what it is?" I nod enthusiastically "it's a Cinderella Ball!" I cheered happily, but Daniel's face fell "it's a Cinderella prom?" I nod "isn't that exciting?!" Daniel frowned "um, I guess." The smile fell off my face "you don't like the theme?" "Would you be mad if I said no" grabbing my backpack, I slam my locker shut "no, not at all."

(3rd Person POV)

Daniel watched as Joey stormed off, anger clear on his face. When Daniel said he wasn't thrilled because of the theme, it was because he didn't know what they could wear. Since he didn't know about Joey's cross-dressing, he wondered what Joey could possibly wear. Their relationship and Shyland are the only two couples that are out in this school, and Daniel knows even Ryland and Shane wouldn't wear gowns so they'd be the outsiders. He's only looking out for Joey, but even he knew the way he presented his words, made it sound like he doesn't want to go to prom with Joey.

During school, Joey ignored Daniel, it's almost like he's a ghost now. (Buy 'Out Loud' by Gabbie Hanna on iTunes or stream it on Spotify!) Even though Joey was ignoring him, Daniel planned the perfect promposal, though, it wouldn't be at school. His proposal takes place at their house when it's just the two of them. Back at their lockers, Daniel turns Joey around "you can't act like I'm not here Joey, I know you're mad at me" Joey sighs, looking up at Daniel "I'm not mad" "you aren't?" Joey shakes his head and hugs Daniel, resting his head against his shoulder "no, I'm sorry I snapped this morning. Shane and Ryland aren't going to the prom" Daniel's eyes widen "what you mean?" "Ryland didn't want to subject them to the clicheness of prom, so Shane decided it'd be best to not go." Now Daniel feels worse, if they go to the prom, he and Joey would stick out like sore thumbs. "I'm so sorry Joey."

When they're sitting in their living room, Daniel's leg is shaking like crazy. His promposal speech is sticking in his mind like glue, he had to ask Joey, he wants to ask Joey. "Hey, Joey?" "Yeah?" Daniel cleared his throat "can you come down here?" He heard Joey's footsteps coming down the stairs, panicking, Daniel grabs a rose from the bouquet Joey got him. Going down on one knee, Daniel holds out the rose "there is nothing in this world more beautiful to me than your smile, nothing sweeter than your laugh, no greater happiness than holding you in my arms. I've realized that I could never be without you, the stubborn Taurus that you are. In this life and the next, you are my greatest source of happiness. I love you always. Will you go to prom with me?" (Yes, I used Daniel's caption for Joey's birthday this year, I'm sorry!) Joey nods and pulls Daniel into his arms, smiling wider than ever. And Daniel swears he heard Joey mumble "I have the perfect dress planned!"

The dance is tomorrow night. Daniel left to go to the gym, giving Joey time to plan his outfit. Going into the spare room, Joey enters the closet filled with all his feminine clothing, dresses, leggings, skirts, panties, knee-high socks, flats, tights, and two pairs of high heels. "Okay girls, I need a prom outfit." Sorting through the dresses, Joey picks out a light blue dress that matched his eyes, and an emerald green dress that matches Daniel's eyes. He picked out white tights, black flats, and a black choker. "Perfect" Joey whispers under his breath "tomorrow will be perfect."

(The Next Night)

It was around 5:30 pm, the dance is at 7. Joey has locked himself in the spare room, getting ready for the prom. Daniel, on the other hand, is waiting for the corsage to come in the mail. The doorbell finally rings, Daniel runs down to the front door, opening it with a smile as he sees a postman delivering the flower. Around 6:55, Daniel's phone rings, it's Joey. "Why are you calling me when you're just upstairs?" "Are you in your suit?" "Yeah, why?" Joey's smiling as he looks at himself in the mirror "meet me at the bottom of the stairs, make sure your back is facing the staircase" "okay?" Hanging up, Joey slips on his flats, opening the spare room door. Looking out over the staircase, Joey smiles as he sees Daniel's back facing him. Stepping down the stairs, Joey's nerves get the best of him as his previously happy demeanor becomes a nervous and scared one. Is Daniel going to hate it? Is he going to break up with him? Is he going to find it too girly and leave? All of these thoughts rush through Joey's mind as he reaches out his hand.

Tapping Daniel on the shoulder, Joey whispers "turn around with your eyes closed" Daniel nods and turns around. Pressing a chaste kiss to Daniel's lips, Joey's nerves begin to settle. "Open your eyes." The moment Daniel's eyes focus on Joey, his jaw drops. Joey ended up choosing the light blue dress with the tights, flats, and choker. He looked absolutely stunning. "J-Joey, you look..." his hesitation only brought Joey's nerves back to the surface. Does he hate it? "You look utterly marvelous, gorgeous, beautiful. Not even one single word could completely describe how amazing you look." Joey blushes darkly, a smile toying at his lips "well thank you, you look astounding as well" taking Joey's hand, Daniel presses a kiss to the back of it "shall we go to the dance, my princess?" Joey smiles and nods "we shall."

Joey was starting to get nervous again as they approached the school, sure Daniel loved his outfit, will anyone else? Daniel sensed his uneasiness when they parked at the school, leaning over to kiss his cheek "you look beautiful tonight Joey, don't let anyone take that away from you" nodding, Joey pulls Daniel's face a bit before pressing his lips to Daniel's. When they walked into the gym, everyone looked at them, Joey saw shock, surprise, and disgust swirling in their eyes like a pinwheel. "Daniel..." looking around at everyone, Daniel's grip just tightened on Joey's hand "don't pay them any mind Joey, their opinions don't matter."

All night, Joey and Daniel just swayed to the music, people came up to them complimenting Joey on his outfit and commenting on how cute they are together. Overall it was a wonderful night. Back at home, Joey was taking off his makeup when Daniel walked into the room. "So, I'm guessing this cross-dressing isn't a one-time thing" Joey turns around in his chair "yeah. I like to dress in all types of clothing, I hope you don't find that too odd" Daniel sits on the bed next to Joey "whatever you like, you always have my approval. I love you no matter what Joey" pulling Daniel close to him, Joey whispers "I love you" before kissing him.
