Cross-dressing Dormitory

There was a long and awkward silence. Though Erick felt no regret for what had happened, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything to Yuri. Despite that, he couldn’t help but smile.

Erick could tell Yuri was awake, but he too didn’t say anything.

I’m the one on this side of the conversation for the first time, Erick thought. Better not open my mouth and say something that could screw up our friendship. I have no idea how he feels about sleeping with a guy. I think he said he wasn’t like that the first time we worked together.

As they kissed and undressed each other, they headed to the bedroom. And to Erick’s surprise, Yuri had lotion ready on his nightstand, and it looked as if it had been used.

To his relief, a ringing broke the silence; it was Yuri’s phone with an email.

“My editor got my manuscript and says everything is okay,” he said, checking the screen.

“That’s great.”

“Yeah…”

The awkward silence was back again. Before it went for too long this time, Yuri took a deep breath and got off the bed. As he looked for his shorts and panties, he pushed something with his foot; it was the bottle of lotion. He looked at it and then at Erick with his face red.

“J-Just so you know, I’m not into this sort of stuff,” he stuttered. “This was the first time I was bottom to a guy.”

“I understand… Wait, does that mean a girl topped you?” Erick asked before he could shut his mouth.

Yuri became an alarming shade of red.

“Why do you think I have this? My friend and I did it a couple of times and she was into this stuff,” he muttered without looking at Erick.

“I see,” he replied. That answers my question, he thought.

They looked at each other and both became embarrassed. A few seconds later, Yuri sighed.

“I liked doing it with you, but it’s not like I’m gay, so I don’t want a relationship with a guy. Hope you’re not looking for that.”

“I’m not,” Erick said quickly. “Does that mean we can keep being friends?”

“Hell yeah.”

“Thank goodness. I was afraid of losing one of the few friends I have in Japan.”

“Nah, dude. But now I need to sleep for like two days after pulling an all-nighter like that.”

“Then I’ll get going. I need to sleep too. Whenever you need, call me.”

“Thanks again for helping me. You saved my ass.”

After Erick got dressed, they said goodbye and then he left.

We haven’t spent that much time together, but I got the feeling Yuri was forcing himself a bit. I think he’s okay with us sleeping together though, Erick thought, heading to the train station.

Exhausted and hungry, he almost fell asleep still on his feet. That, however, made him chuckle. I always wondered how people could sleep on the train. Now I understand. I almost experienced ‘inemuri,’ something very Japanese.

By the time he got back to the cross-dressing Dormitory, it was night already. However, instead of dinner, he walked into a mess. You couldn’t see the table underneath the pile of clothes. The chairs were occupied with makeup kits but one, where Yuuki was sitting. While Rin and Mikki took care of his makeup, Kanata picked an outfit, so serious it looked as if he was making the choice of his life.

“Don’t you think this is a bit too much?” Yuuki asked.

“Not at all. We’re gonna make you even prettier than you already are!” Rin exclaimed with a huge smile.

“For once, I agree with this idiot. We’re gonna make you super cute,” Mikki said.

“Yes, leave everything to us,” Kanata added, also smiling.

“What’s going on?” Erick asked.

“Welcome back, Erick!” the three girly-boys greeted him together.

“Yuuki finally asked his boyfriend out on a date,” Rin said, excited.

“We’re helping him get ready,” Mikki said.

Erick smiled at Yuuki. “So you finally asked him out?”

“Yes,” the dorm leader said, his cheeks a shade of pink. “You were right. I’m a man too. I was so happy when he said yes, I felt like a young boy again. But now I’m too nervous.”

“Don’t worry, Yuuki. Leave it to us,” Kanata said. Then he turned to Erick. “Help us too.”

“Sure, but I don’t know what I can do.”

“Give us your opinion when we finish. Here. What do you think?” Kanata asked as he showed him a yukata.

Unlike the usual ones Yuuki used, that one was still elegant, but had many frills, making it cuter.

“D-don’t you think this is a bit too much for me? That’s for someone young…”

“Not at all,” the three of them said.

“You’re gonna look cute,” Kanata remarked.

“Yes. Go put it on so we can see,” Rin said when he and Mikki finished up his makeup.

“O-Okay.”

Without checking his reflection, Yuuki went to the bathroom with the yukata.

“Did you do it?” Kanata asked Erick.

“What!?” Erick asked. No way! How can he tell I slept with Yuri? That’s impossible!

“The manga. Did you two managed to finish in time?”

“Ah, right. Yeah. We pulled an all-nighter and finished in time.”

“I’m happy. I’m a fan and can’t wait for the next chapter,” Mikki said, smiling.

Rin, on the other hand, looked at him with a strange expression.

“W-what?” Erick asked. He wanted to act casually, but he failed right away.

The next second, Rin widened his eyes. “You slept with Yuri!”

Erick had no words. Then he sighed. There was no reason to make any excuse. “How could you tell?”

“I can smell when a guy has sex with another.”

“That’s a stupid skill to have,” Mikki said.

“He can tell by your expression. Erick,” Kanata added.

“W-what do you mean?”

“You have this happy but guilty face after having sex,” Mikki explained.

“I do?”

“Yeah,” Kanata said, flashing a kind smile at him.

“I can’t believe you cheated on us. You better make it up to us,” Rin said, shaking his head

Erick chuckled and before he could say anything, Yuuki came back.

“H-How do I look?” the dorm leader asked shyly.

His purple yukata looked cute and elegant at the same time. His makeup only enhanced his femininity. His hair was tied by a comb with a flowery jewel on one side while the other side was loose.

“You look amazing!” the three girly-boys exclaimed in unison, letting out girlish and happy screens.

“I agree with them,” Erick said.

“Thanks, boys. For everything,” he replied. Yuuki blushed slightly and flashed a timid smile.

“You’re welcome,” the three of them said together.

“Oh, look at the time. If I don’t leave now, I’ll be late.”

Once he left, the girly-boys exchanged looks.

“Let’s tail him.”

“Please, don’t do that. Let him have a first date in peace,” Erick said at once. He was too exhausted and hungry to do that. Not to mention he didn’t want to.

“We need to check if his date isn’t a sleazy guy!” they said.

“Yuuki is a big boy. I’m sure he knows how to protect himself.”

“This isn’t just because we’re curious. Master Yuuno is also interested in Yuuki’s boyfriend,” Rin said.

“You got him involved in this too?” Erick grunted.

There was something he could do, but he wasn’t sure if he should do it or not. Yuuki-san asked me not to, but better do this and let him have a memorable first date without people following him.

“I can show you a picture of his date if you promise to not tail Yuuki,” he said, pulling out his phone.

“We promise!”

Erick showed the picture he had taken of Yuuki and the gentleman in the park a while back.

“He’s hot!” Rin exclaimed.

“I wouldn’t mind having a night with him,” Kanata said.

“He looks like he has a lot of stamina. Wonder if Yuuki’s gonna have trouble keeping up with him in bed,” Mikki added.

“There’s no reason to tail them, right?” Erick asked, looking at his friends.

“Guess you’re right,” they said, somewhat disappointed.

“Now we have a night free…”

“What should we do?”

“Well, since you cheated on us, treat us dinner,” Rin said.

Erick chuckled and shook his head. “You know what? Let’s go. I’m starving.”

Though he was used to it, he still blushed when Rin and Mikki grabbed his arms and Kanata stood behind him. My girly-boy bodyguards.
