Je te veux (Mulette)

Chapter 51: Dresses

   Lafayette took a shaky breath and prepared to leave the comfort of the dressing room walls. As he stepped out he prepared himself for the upcoming criticism, squeezing his eyes shut to avoid the judgmental glares of strangers. However, when he leaves the dressing room he only hears gasps and excited giggles, coaxing him to open his eyes.

"Laf. You. Look. Hot." Peggy said with  grin.

    The others added similar words of encouragement, causing him to blush down at his shoes. He was about to speak when he heard Alex's voice in another dressing room.

"I AM NOT WEARING THIS!" Alex shouted.

"Aw, come on Alex, let us see it." Peggy said.

"I think im with Alex on this..." John added.

"You two get you asses out here or I'll come in there and get you." Angelica said.

     With that small threat, the door swung open to reveal Alex in a green flared dress. His cheeks were red and his eyes had a fire in them. John stood behind him wearing a navy blue sheath dress, doing his best to keep Alex from bursting. It was quite a sight to see

    The girls let out a series of approving words, obviously taking pictures to document the moment. Even Theo was getting in on the action.

"Looks like the boys are dressed up, well except Aaron." Peggy said.

    Everyone shot a glance in Aaron's direction. He immediately shook his head, clearly having none of this, and he was saved by the ringing of the bell above boutique door. In stepped Hercules, James, and Thomas, curious about what the had just walked into.

     Hercules looked from Alex, to John, but when his eyes reached Laf he almost forgot how to breath. Herc was left a blushing mess, while Thomas seized the moment to pick on Alexander.

"My Lin," Thomas laughed "well aren't you guys just the cutest fucking thing."

   Lafayette and John looked down at their shoes, but Alex looked ready to fight.

"How about you come over and say that to my face Jeffershit." Alex spat angrily.

"Oh, and your going to fight me shortie?" Thomas fired back.

Unexpectedly, Maria was the one to speak up.

"You know Thomas, I think you would look rather nice in a dress, don't you? Maybe we should try one on,"  Maria said "Unless your too afraid?"

"I ain't afraid of anything." Thomas said.

He was going to regret that.

   In a matter of moments he was roped in and pushed into the dressing room to try on a lacy magenta cocktail dress. Meanwhile, Herc made his way across the room to Lafayette but, Laf's eyes were trained on patterns of the carpet beneath his feet. Hercules stood infront of Laf, reaching out and taking his hand.
   
"Laf," Hercules whispered. "babe are you alright?"

   Lafayette shook his head, still not looking up to face Hercules. So Herc crouched down to be in Lafayette's line of vision, placing a soft kiss to the top of Laf's hand.

"You look beautiful my love." Herc whispered.

"Oh, I do?" Lafayette responded quietly.

"And you are." Herc replied.

   Herc stood up, wrapping his arms around Lafayettes waist, allowing Laf to bury his face into Hercs shoulder. Hercules kissed the top of Lafayette's head, while the girls were caught in awe by the cute moment.

However it was ruined by Thomas' scream.

"I AM NOT WEARING THIS!"
