((The Bathroom))
Angel sighed deeply, scared to death. Why had he done this again? He'd thought it was time. He wanted to give Tommy and Mimi and everyone who knew about the drag a reason to be proud of him. And he wanted a reason to be proud of himself. And plus, the costume looked damn good on the rack. Still though, he just had to buy it, and of course you couldn't return it afterwards, and he had no more money. He told his family he wasn't dressing up, packed the costume in his bag, and went to 'help the prayer clup sell orange and chocolate cupcakes'. Uh huh.
Now though he was having serious second thoughts. If he had to be Snow White, couldn't he have found a Snow White that was a little less...a little more...conservative? Not that what he was wearing was all that scandalous, but the extra skin just added to his discomfort with the situation. What if he didn't look good? He hadn't shown it to anybody yet, so he hadn't gotten any opinions.
"Is there anybody else out there?" he called to Tommy, adjusting one of the red socks before going to grab his makeup. If he didn't do it that night, he was never gonna get the courage to. Hard as it was gonna be...

Tommy walked in pimped out, literally, and excited. He couldn't wait to see Angel and hug him and kiss him...it felt like a while since he saw him last. At least it felt like it. He paused in front of the mirror to adjust his hat when he heard that familiar voice. "Baby?" He asked. "Angel are you ok?" Tommy walked towards the stall hoping that Angel didn't get sick. If so...well, he could sit outside of the stall and keep him company.
"Did the punch backfire on ya?" He asked with a frown.

"Uh...no," Angel raised an eyebrow, fighting back a smile. At least that was gonna be one good thing. He'd be with Tommy, hewouldn't be alone. "I'm getting dressed, and just...I'm a little nervous. Because...well..." he trailed off. It would probably be better just to show him.
He opened the door and was about to explain how he'd managed to go through with drag in public, finally. But he was too busy laughing at Tommy's costume.

"Don't be nervous..." Tommy said stepping back a bit in case Angel came out. That wouldn't be a nice way to start the carnival...with a bathroom door slammed into his face. "It's only me. And I'm sure you look awesome...or scary. Whichever way you went for..."
When Angel opened the stall door, his eyes widened. "Angel..." He started to say breatheless, but his laughter caught him off guard. "Oh yeah...I'm pimping. But shit, Angel. You're gorgeous. You're going...ah Angel I'm so proud of you!" He exclaimed holding out his arms for him.

Angel's smile widened and he was still giggly, part from Tommy's costume and part from his nerves. At the moment he was just excited. It felt like forever since he'd seen Tommy, and he gladly moved into his arms. "Really? I haven't shown anybody else, and I'm just a little...yeah. I mean, this'll be a first..." he swallowed, the fear coming back a bit. "And I mean, you're a little biased," he added with a small smile.

Tommy hugged him close, so glad that he decided to come in drag. Although he didn't think that Angel would be...this dramatic, it worked. And it made him look so beautiful. His Snow White. "Really. I wouldn't lie to you. And you'll be fine. It's Halloween, Angel. You don't have to worry about a thing. You're very brave I gotta say. Brave and beautiful." Tommy said pratically beaming at Angel. "Oh well, yeah. I'm very biased but I just can't help it." He said leaning in for a gentle kiss.

Angel returned the kiss, any fears squashed. It was like that was all he needed, just a little reassurance. Really, what could happen anyway? It wasn't like they'd run them off campus with torches and pitchforks. Course he'd probably get a ton of grief for it later on. But it was hard to concentrate on that when he was kissing Tommy. "Thanks, baby. Oh look! I got the stuff that doesn't smudge," he added excitedly, holding up the tube of lipstick in his hand. "So you can kiss me all night if you want," he added, and reluctantly broke apart from Tommy so he could lean over the sink and apply it.

Tommy opened his eyes wider when Angel tried to direct him to something. He laughed at the lipstick, "That's great." Putting his hands to his lips, he saw that none of the color came off on him. "Perfect. And just what I was thinking...more kissing..." He leaned against the sink and crossed his arms watching Angel apply his make up. Angel looked like a natural. "So you shopped for make-up? Or did you 'borrow' that from someone?"

"I shopped! A couple extra chores here and there got me a raise in my allowance," Angel smiled proudly, staring at the eyeliner for a moment before carefully applying it. He still wasn't great at it and had a bad habit of poking his eye. And of course he poked himself as always, his hand jerking back. After a second he recovered and went on to the other eye. "Oh, you like the wig? It came with the costume, but I don't know. I like the style," he added, adjusting it.

"Did you?" Tommy asked with wide eyes. What happened to his timid Angel? Maybe he realized that this made him happy...at least he hoped that was why. "That's great Angel. I'm...I'm just so proud of you. Like beyond." He looked at the wig and nodded. "It suits you. I really think it does." Tommy reached forward to run his hands through the wig. It felt nice.

Angel finished up and smiled at Tommy deeply. His legs were shaking, but it was the good way. At the moment everything just looked so...good. He looked good, Tommy looked good, the future looked good. "I'm glad. Thanks. I'm proud too," he admitted, biting his lip and very grateful for the fact it wouldn't come off. "Well yours suits you too," he teased.

"You should be," Tommy said walking up behind Angel and wrapping his arms around them. Looking at the two of them in the mirror, he grinned. They simply looked right together. Angel in his wig and short dress and Tommy. Well it didn't matter what Tommy wore. He laughed, his eyes lighting up. "Thanks. I liked the hat and hey, it's fun. If I'd had known that you were wearing this I would have gone Prince Charming."

Sighing happily, Angel turned his head to kiss Tommy's cheek gently. "Nah. I'd like you better in your pimp ware," he giggled. "We fit together better like this. I'm one of your girls...never thought I'd say that," he laughed again, resting his hands on Tommy's.

Tommy laughed along with Angel. He worried when he bought it that he would get yelled at for being anti-feminist or something. But in his mind, it was just a joke. He was glad that Angel agreed...and found it amusing as that was the whole goal. "Nope, you're not one of my girls," He said taking Angel's hands into his. "You're my only girl."

Angel sighed again and hoped his blush wasn't too noticeable. "Well I'd hope so," he mumbled with a smile. Turning around, he wrapped his arms around Tommy gently and leaned up to kiss him. They hadn't even left the bathroom yet and it was already the best Halloween ever.
