Work Text:
Mibuchi Reo is a Genius.
It was an understatement since they were a Rakuzan student, and if they’re Akashi’s number one best friend then that means their intelligence must be on par with the latter. But we aren’t talking about academics.
Right now what stands in front of them is their beloved friend and Rakuzan’s captain, wearing a loose satin short dress with a slightly big, pink ribbon on the front, small angel wings strapped on his back and a small tiara on his pink-ish red hair.
Right. Mibuchi Reo, was in fact, a Genius.
Though Akashi would happily retaliate just by the massive frown on his face.
“A Crossdressing Contest? Please Reo…why does it have to be me?” Akashi makes a pleading look and Mibuchi was almost going to lose it, but they aren’t gonna be swayed.
”Come on Sei-Chan, having you join means an immediate win for Class A!”
They see a twitch on Akashi’s eyebrows and that’s when Mibuchi knew that they hit the right spot.
”Well, okay. Contest aside, this is really embarassing, i’m not tall and i’m not extremely short either but this dress is small on me…the whole getup feels weird…”
Akashi was going to reason more but decided against it anyways and sighed, “I’ll participate but I’m immediately going to take this off before my boyfriends arrive…I had to invite them too.”
Ah yes, getting a reaction from the Kiseki no Sedai wasn’t in their thoughts but Mibuchi grins at the idea.
They can imagine that the colorful haired boys would make fun of him at first, a little bit of teasing here and there, but then they slowly see just how beautiful Akashi looked…and maybe he’d end up thanking them after this.
Oh Mibuchi was in heaven thinking of what could happen. If they were in a comical anime, they’d probably be sporting a nosebleed.
”What time is the contest?,” Akashi just needed to make sure since his lovers would be coming in a few hours.
”It’s held in the afternoon! Convincing these men to dress up in feminine clothing is difficult for some sections you know? So you’re our representative!”
Mibuchi gives out their sweetest smile but Akashi did not know what to say to that information.
”Do Hayama and Nebuya know about this?,” Akashi wished they’d say no.
”Nope.”
He was almost relieved but what Mibuchi said next was enough to get his skin crawling.
”But Mayuzumi knows,” Mibuchi grins and whistles while Akashi stands there, shocked.
‘Oh god no’
It was pretty well known amongst the Rakuzan Basketball Team that Chihiro Mayuzumi had a tiny crush on Akashi, well, not tiny, but it was an irrelevant thing so it’s not a big deal for any of the guys. That doesn’t mean he can’t feel weirded out about it though.
”Well okay, um..it’s alright if I get rid of the dress then? It fits but the contest is later so no reason for me to wear this now.” Akashi hoped it didn’t sound like he was pleading but at this point, he might as well should.
”Eh, but Sei-chan, you should show off your extravagant beauty! Let everyone know that you are the prettiest contestant and that you’ll be giving us the win!”
He was about to lose it, but before he even says anything else, Mibuchi kicks him off the room animatedly. They should be thankful they’re friends.
Right when he lands perfectly in the middle of the hallway, in front of the room he was just in, he sees a bunch of people, both students and visitors, look at him and that’s when he knew — he was fucked.
”AKASHI SEIJUUROU?!!”
—
The students of Rakuzan High were extremely busy on this special day. Most of the areas were bustling, people were selling out their stalls and multiple contests getting held in their gym were being prepared, including the heavily anticipated crossdressing contest.
Akashi was bruised. Which was a huge exaggeration, really, what’s actually been happening for the past hour was that he was receiving catcalls left and right. It was unasked for but aside from that, it wasn’t so bad. People were giving out genuine compliments, he hasn’t come across his team and his boyfriends aren’t going to arrive anytime soon.
‘That’s the last one.’ Still wearing the short satin dress, he finished helping the class who was working on the crossdressing contest. Since he’s going to join it, might as well do them a favor and help in arranging.
Just so he could get confirmation - they did tell him what time it was going to start, together with the singing contest, this was one of the final events that will signify the end of their school festival.
‘In the afternoon it is.’
It was still early in the morning however, he has finished his student council duties and really, he doesn’t plan on going anywhere else while wearing the ridiculously loose…thing.
‘I’ll skip out on stuff, this will be a one time thing anyways.”
But it seems that the world particularly hates him today. What the Fuck.
Not going anywhere, was actually, the dumbest thing he has done his whole life. Because of course, his team was going to be in their fucking school gym, what was he thinking?!
He wanted to lay down on top of one of the highest bleachers to avoid getting seen, but right when he was about to do so, his name gets called by none other than Chihiro Mayuzumi.
“A..kashi?,” Mayuzumi was shocked, reasonably so, but he was also slightly blushing and that was one thing he did not want to think about. The gray haired individual was standing in front of the lower bleachers, looking up at him, and he would’ve laughed at the way his mouth was agape if he wasn’t so flustered at the moment.
“Oh.” Oh? Is that all you have to say Akashi Seijuurou? This was one of the rare moments where he felt like jumping off a building out of embarassment.
Mayuzumi closes his mouth and covers it promptly, probably to hide his insanely red face, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Mayuzumi was looking redder than a tomato but the color soon dissipates and he looks at him with his usual unreadable expression.
“I’m sure the team would love to see you all dressed up,” He did not want his teammates to see him but before he could even go down-
“WAHHH AKASHI! YOU LOOK GOOD!” Hayama was practically beaming.
”And really manly!” Lying is bad, Nebuya.
The other team members were whispering among themselves but nothing they said was for sure negative, judging by the way they looked at him, like he hung the moon and stars.
The latter takes Mayuzumi’s offered hand and jumps off a bleacher, he planned to go somewhere and do something useful, but not before Mayuzumi slightly pulls him back by his hand and whispers in his ear.
“You make for a cute angel,”
Akashi feels his face heat up, no one could resist a compliment after all.
Alas, the dreaded event has come.
He had just found out that his name has long been listed as part of the contestants even before the day could properly start, the good news was that his 5 boyfriends weren’t there yet.
The last text he’s received was from Kise, telling him that he and the others would be going to Rakuzan together, which was early in the morning.
’Time moves fast’
The once half empty gym was now jam packed, the day was coming to an end and so almost every student was in the area. Maybe if he was prone to anxiousness, then the sight of these many people would’ve gotten him nervous, but he’s not going to let his nerves affect him.
He made himself busy the whole day by doing what he does on the daily, which was to help people, just that it felt awkward since he’s been parading in this silly dress.
The clothing was still pristine, he attempted to stain it and use that as an excuse to not wear the dress, but didn’t continue with it because he didn’t wanna hurt Reo’s feelings.
It wasn’t so bad, he’s gotten used to wearing it but his actions were restrictive since it really was a short dress, he’ll bend his body a little and the next thing you know, his ass was all up on somebody’s face.
His internal monologue was interrupted by the ringing of his cellphone, he sees the contact number and everyone around him sees the way his eyes lit up, in the most terrifying way possible.
His boyfriends were here.
Quickly, he gets rid of his tiara and angel wings to make himself look less embarassing, and handed the materials to the event planner, who went rigid.
Akashi sprints to the exit of the school gym, at least a handful amount of students were able to see his underwear with how fast he was going.
He almost trips on the stairs but was able to save himself, then he continued to run to their classroom, where Mibuchi was.
The contest was going to start in 30 minutes but he can just put on the dress again after he meets up with his partners. Right?
Except he should’ve known better.
Because right when he steps foot into the room —
“….Akashi?”
There they were, staring at him while looking baffled, and then, a playful whistle.
”Well hello there sexy.” Aomine smirks and the others immediately invaded his personal space to stop him from running away.
They were crowding Akashi like a bunch of bees to honey. Kise attempted to lift up his dress but Aomine slapped his hand away despite almost doing the same thing just then, Murasakibara and Midorima’s expressions were subtly…weird and Kuroko’s eyes were sparkling menacingly while also keeping the usual straight face.
“What the fuck.” Oh, and Kagami was there.
“Sei-chan looks so pretty! Right, guys?” Mibuchi clasps his two hands together in excitement and drags Akashi away from his clingy partners.
“Mibuchi, why are they in our classroom?!” Akashi grits his teeth and glares at Reo like an angry kitten.
“They wanted to surprise you, Sei-chan.”
Kise walks up to Akashi and circles around him like a puppy. “I guess you could say that it was vice versa. You look very beautiful Akashicchi!”, Akashi groans and tries to pull down his dress to make himself feel less vulnerable. It didn’t help much and his whole body got all sensitive when he felt Murasakibara snuck his hands onto his waist to give him a back hug, which made the garment slightly ride up his thighs.
“Aka-chin looks tasty.” Akashi’s eyes widen at comment but he was sure that Atsushi didn’t mean it the bad way. That didn’t stop Aomine from saying something about it though.
“Yeah, he’s right Akashi. You look very appetizing.”
Now that was definitely an obscene joke, but he knew Aomine wasn’t being weird about it as he observes the way Akashi looks, and gives a genuine smile.
“God, you’re stunning. We hit the jackpot with you, seriously.” Aomine cups his cheek and kisses his forehead.
“You look great.” It was typical of Midorima to say something so vague, though Akashi couldn’t help but smile anyways, it was appreciated nonetheless.
“Aomine-kun’s right. You look gorgeous in a dress, Akashi-kun.” And of course, he was effectively swayed by Kuroko’s sweet words.
“I can sense how glad you are Sei-chan~ You boys should be thanking me for glamming him up.” Mibuchi proudly lets them know.
“Ah yeah, thanks.” Aomine halfheartedly says. Reo decides to ignore that and sees what time it was.
“Hmph! Anyways, we should head to the gym now, the contest will begin in a few minutes and I wouldn’t want our class representative to be absent.” Mibuchi takes Akashi’s hand and opens the door as the others quickly trail behind them, they were kind of pumped.
So much so that they forgot their one friend who was frozen in place.
“U-Uhm, wha- guys…I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this.”
-
Apparently, it was a lie when he thought he wasn’t nervous. Sure the whole crossdressing contest was for fun, but it never really entered his mind that the other male students would look…good.
He praises Mibuchi’s simplistic choices after seeing the maid outfits, puffy gowns and the abhorrent amount of makeup they were wearing, though they all carried themselves with assertiveness, despite being forced to go on here.
They were all situated behind a long curtain beside the stage, obscuring their appearances from all the students of Rakuzan.
Including his lovers.
“I can’t take this. This is vastly different from people watching me play basketball on a huge court, or the members of a club seeing me win an intense game of Shogi. Reo, oh my god, Reo-,”
Mibuchi pulls him away from the line of contestants and clasped his hands together while rubbing them to ease off his nerves.
“I can assure you that nothing bad is going to happen. I say it’s okay that you’re nervous, nobody would notice that ‘cause they’ll be too preoccupied by how wonderful you look.” Mibuchi gives him an eye smile and hugs him for good luck.
“You are gonna do great.”
Akashi returns the action and swiftly goes back to the line once he hears the host’s announcement.
He presses the palm of his hands against his throat and practices the breathing exercise he uses before games.
‘I need this to end soon.’
And it does. The contest was quicker than he expected, there weren’t any talent portions because all they had to do was walk the runway.
Going up on stage, he feels his body relax when his eyes landed on the loves of his life, who were cheering for him so loud that everyone around them had their hands on their ears. The sight made him smile and the huge projector was able to capture that on a big screen.
The sounds of amazement and admiration was heard from the numerous people inside the gym. It was something of an encouragement as Akashi walks with more confidence than when he first stepped foot onto the stage.
The result shouldn’t be a shock really.
“Akashi-kun!!! Thanks for giving our class the win!”
“Yeah Akashi, you looked so fucking cool there.”
”I wanna say you look real adorable but I wouldn’t wanna anger your boyfriends uhm..”
Akashi holds the 1st place sash to his body tightly and sees Kiseki no Sedai glaring at his classmates who were trying to congratulate him.
”Settle down. I’m representing my class, I need you guys to stop being protective.”
They comically freeze in their place as Akashi wholeheartedly accepts his classmates’s praises, he then spots Mibuchi and gives them a tight hug.
The eventful day comes to an end. All the students and guests were slowly exiting the building and Akashi observes them go from his classroom’s window.
“You know, I’ve never actually observed your classroom.” Aomine leisurely walks around the room, whistling while he looks inside the cabinets and under the desks.
“And why are you still here? The others have gone home.”
And by others, he meant his 4 boyfriends.
“Eh, I wanted to stay with you and maybe…join you in your apartment complex? You still have the dress.”
Mibuchi let him know that he can keep the dress for “pleasure”, whatever that meant.
“I know what you’re trying to do Daiki, no, you cannot join me.”
Aomine does a fake pout and circles his arms around Akashi’s waist. The latter hooks his arms around Aomine’s neck in return, their faces were only a few inches apart.
”You were great today, Sei.”
Akashi giggles and pecks Aomine’s eyelids.
“Today was great.”
Omake
”Tch, why is the last scene with Aomine nanodayo”
Midorima looks through the classroom door screen and watches Aomine and Akashi have their moment.
Kise, Murasakibara, and Kuroko’s eyes were teary.
”Aominecchiiiii, you’re so unfair!!!”
“Aomine-kun’s the worst.”
”Ehhhh, Minechin sucksss.”
Kagami stares at his friends who are supposed to be strongest basketball players in Japan but are now just a bunch of pathetic men.
“Man…what is wrong with y’all.”
