heartsick

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Kira is curled up on this corner of a couch, idly flipping through a fashion magazine, though she normally doesn't act this lazy. Anyone who looks at her closely might notice the paleness of her skin and the shadows under her eyes, but she expertly covered those little signs under her makeup. However, less easy to hide is the way she is wearing one of her brother's larger shirts (not black), whose sleeves come down to cover her hands. If you think she looks ill, you would be pretty close to the mark.]

Uh huh! You'll look totally stylish!

[she practically shoves her magazine in your face (http://mensfashion.about.com/od/springsummerfashion/ss/MonarchySpring2010_7.htm) then dives into the nearest closet to pull appropriate pieces]

[regalheart]

[chokes a little when he sees the pictures; models always look so unhappy.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[you're supposed to look at the clothes not the models :/]

Oh, this is the perfect pair of jeans! Just like the picture!

[regalheart]

[kind of hard not to look at the models, what with them wearing the clothing.]

Mmhm.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[and suddenly, a squeal of great joy]

Uncle Kai! You have to try this on! (http://www.stylebyme.net/2009/11/25/look-bookhm-men%E2%80%99s-spring-2010/) You have just the right build for it!

[yes, she means the outfit with the skirt; she's holding up all the pieces and shoving them into your arms]

[regalheart]

[...................you're serious.




well, it's not the first time he's had to wear girlclothes.]

Alright.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[they're not girlclothes! it's a very manly skirt, with close-fitting trousers underneath]

Yay! Now go change and I'll see how well it works on you.

[regalheart]

Okay.

[derp derp time to change.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[once you emerge, she will flutter and fuss all around you, her small hands twitching and smoothing everything properly]

Oh, Uncle Kai! You look really handsome! Too much black for my tastes, but you should at least keep the shirt and jacket. You have to.

... you have better hips than I do, too.

[regalheart]

I'll keep the shirt and jacket, no worries.

[...p-pff that last bit though.]

Maybe it just runs in my family or something.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Big hips? I wouldn't mind having a skirt like that, if it wasn't black.

[she's gathering together pieces for the outfit with the red jeans she saw]

[regalheart]

I honestly wouldn't know.

[he shall just wait. in his skirt.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[hands you the next outfit!]

Uncle Axel is pretty hippy. I suppose that will be good for the baby.

[regalheart]

Probably.

[yay, more clothing.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Do you want a boy or a girl?

[regalheart]

I don't really care which it is.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[if you're done changing she will flutter around you again]

You should have a girl. That way I'll have a cute cousin to dress up.

[... not that she hasn't done that already to her other 'cousins']

[regalheart]

My child isn't going to be your next doll, Kira.

[what is this chastising tone.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[chastised!]

But... but I want a girl cousin. Everyone else is a boy.

[regalheart]

I can't control what he or she is going to be anyway. Maybe it'll be a girl, maybe it won't. I know being the only girl must suck for you, but we can't do much to change that. At least in this time there are plenty of girls to make friends with?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she makes a noncommittal noise and goes back to browsing through the clothes in this closet]

[regalheart]

[oh don't do that. he heads over to her, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close.]

Now don't be like that... I'm sorry there aren't more girls in our family. It must be difficult sometimes, not having family who share your interests. But even if there were more girls in our family, nothing would guarantee they'd be as into fashion as you are. It's not a bad thing that you're into it! But everyone's unique, right? And besides, you've got me to dress up for now.

And I'm not saying you can't help pick clothing out for the kid, either. Especially if it turns out it's a girl.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[congratulations, she's just burst into tears, dropping all the clothes she had in her hands on the floor]

[regalheart]

[what no oh god what. pulls her into a proper hug, closing his eyes.]

I'm sorry, Kira. I didn't mean to make you cry.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she clings to you as she sobs and it's probably not a pretty sight, since any light that filled her while she was happy has disappeared again]

I-I'm s-sorry!
