#this is pierre's (senior prom - the first one) and it's a whole mess and pierre maybe tries to kiss her at the end of the night

piarles + bow!! for me!! 🎀

It's never been weird between them, Pierre swears, not once: they've been friends since they were small, growing up together on the same street, playing in the same parks as they'd agreed to be paleontologists or astronauts or footballers, and it'd never mattered once to him that Charles was a girl in all that time--even when they'd gotten shipped off to different high schools across town, it hadn't changed their relationship.

But now...now, as Pierre stands out in front of Charles' house waiting with his shitty Honda parked out front, all but trembling in this oddly-tailored suit for prom, he thinks the line of weird may have finally been crossed after all these years.

It's finally been crossed because Charles in her dress looks beautiful--not covered in dirt or wearing ragged clothes she'd stolen from her older brother, or even in her usual baggy jeans look, but really elegant in a way that Pierre had never even imagined her in before; red fabric that has to be satin spilling down her legs, tapering off at her ankles, a bunched up flower nestled in the perfect center of her chest. Her hair is curled intentionally and not just from humidity--ringlets spilling over her shoulders, a stunning red bow peeking out from behind her head to tie some of it back, and oh.

"What are you looking at," she deadpans, but her mouth is curved up in that usual smirk she gives him, and Pierre realizes that her lipstick matches her dress; he clutches the corsage case tighter and shakes his head, trying to play it off, but it's no use--she's caught him red-handed as she starts making her way towards the car, and when her smirk stretches into a full-on grin, he knows he's doomed.

#🎀! for you my love! yes! #tomboy charles and her bestie pierre go to both of their proms together....<3 #this is pierre's (senior prom - the first one) and it's a whole mess and pierre maybe tries to kiss her at the end of the night #but stops before she can kiss him back properly. so it's WEIRD. and they don't see each other as much for the next few weeks #but then pierre decides to ask her to junior prom for real and she's like ''??'' but accepts #and he's like. i want to be your boyfriend i think. and charles tries to make the ''you're a boy and my friend'' joke but #pierre is like.
