Patton, Roman, Logan and Virgil were all put on the costuming crew of the play. It was sort of a last minute placement for Virgil and Logan, but Roman and Patton were born for these roles. A good portion of the costume room was made by Patton's grandmother and him, and Roman actually knew what he was doing when it came to fashion and costuming. Virgil, at least, drew characters with costuming in mind and knew basic color theory, and Logan figured he'd just be the manager.

Patton grabbed out a dress for one of the characters: he'd have to hem it at the bottom as the girl it was intended for was short, but other than that the entire room agreed it'd be a good choice.

A few more costumes were chosen before chaos started to break out. Roman wanted to get more 'into the mood' and have a bit of fun, so he put on his playlist of over seven-hundred songs. The first song was "Flesh", which was entertaining when Roman practically leapt over a table to skip the song. Patton was giggling, Logan looked disappointed, Virgil was smirking, and Roman was the color of a tomato.

Then, Patton decided to put on a ridiculously ugly dress that was made out of a rainbow of velvet and hugged his curves a little too tight. Not even his binder would conceal the chest that that dress showed. Roman picked him up bridal style as Virgil took pictures. Logan was still looking disappointed, but there was a hint of a smile on his face. Patton took off the dress when Logan accidentally got too much of his boxers in eyesight and he turned a deep shade of puce.

The dumbness started branching off into conversation as they all peeled through shelves, looking for costumes.

..."Yeah, Remy once accidentally stabbed himself with a fork," Virgil told the group about his brother, who all started laughing.

..."When I was younger, I once gave an hour long presentation on sedimentary rocks," Logan confessed with a face palm. He was a geology nerd, yes, but he was less socially inept at this point.

"Yeah, I fell asleep during that," Roman giggled, remembering his third grade self.

..."Do you kiddos want cookies?" Patton asked. They all raised their brows at him. "My grandma makes sure I have at least five in my backpack in case I 'get hungry'." Virgil was the first to raise his hand, and pretty soon they all had whole-wheat cookies shoved in their mouths. Patton's grandma was a professional baker, and her reputation sure did not disappoint.

Eventually, the four boys ended up with only half of the costumes they needed, but what can they say? They had fun.

Hey y'all! I'm sorry for not posting in a while, I've been in a little bit of a writer's block as of recent, and things have been happening in my personal life that are stressing me out.

First off, I'm going by he/him pronouns at this point. Sorry for the confusion!

Also, if you guys have any requests ever, please let me know. I want to write what y'all want to see!

Last but not least, what kind of music do you guys enjoy? I'm just trying to discover new things to listen to! In case you're curious, my favorite songs are "Resistance" by Muse, "Habits (Stay Hight)" by Our Last Night Band, "My Demons" by Starset, and "White Rabbit" by Egypt Central.

Alright, that's all for the announcements. More one-shots are in the works! Thank you for reading :-)
