Your writing is absolutely amazing!! It makes my heart melt! I stumbled on your blog while looking for GN/masc and/or platonic stuff and was absolutely thrilled!
If it's not too much trouble could I request a small platonic drabble with Rex, Cody, and the twins? Maybe like helping their transmasc little brother figure with their dysphoria? If not I completely get it ofc! Thank you so much for at least reading this! ^^
Hello! Thank you for your kind words! I hope it's okay for me to answer here instead of in an ask so I can have the prompt right in front of me.
This is my first time really writing for multiple clones at once (except for some minor cameos) in this capacity anyway. I hope I did an okay job.
You sat at the table with Echo and Fives, both trying to eat some breakfast while you tugged at your shirt. Rex and Cody both looked up from their meals. It hadn't gotten past them that you were seeming less comfortable in your own skin and they were smart enough to guess why. This was new territory for them, but they wanted to help someone they all considered a friend, and more recently, had come to see as a brother.
"You know, I, uh," Rex cleared his throat and looked at you, "Well I need to shave this down," he rubbed his hand over his head, "and I was going to help Cody with a trim too."
"I struggle to get the back just right," Cody added.
Rex took on a tone that made it clear he was wondering if his suggestion was even helpful. "Would you also be interested in a haircut?"
You smiled a little and nodded. A change might do you some good.
Fives decided to pipe up. "Echo and I have to pick up a few shirts later. You could come with us if you'd like."
"I'd like that," you replied quietly.
You all finished eating and you followed Rex and Cody. Rex made quick work of his own hair and Cody's cut was simple enough.
"Your turn," said Cody. "How do you want it cut? We can break out the scissors too if you want to keep part of it longer."
You didn't have to think very long. You knew what you wanted it to look like, but were afraid you'd mess it up yourself. Rex nodded as you described what you wanted. You and Cody watched as he went to work. You felt nervous at first, but the end result was everything you could have hoped for.
"What do you think," asked Rex.
"Looks great," said Cody.
Rex rolled his eyes. "Yes, thanks, but you weren't the person I was directing the question towards."
Cody just grinned while you replied with a huge smile. "It looks perfect."
You ran your hand over your head a few times, feeling the new length of hair and correlating it to the person you saw in the mirror. Your own reflection a little more in line with who you knew you were.
Echo and Fives showed up in the door way.
"Looks great," said Echo with a smile. "Ready to go?"
You nodded and thanked Rex and Cody before heading off.
The boys weren't ones for taking their time shopping. They knew what they wanted and bought it, but today was different because they wanted to give you a chance to figure out what worked for you. Fives pointed out some clothes that he liked and why he liked them. Echo held everything you and Fives gave him for you to try. Although there was no one else around, they stood in front of the dressing room while you were in there. When you came out to look in the mirror, they both stood behind you, shielding you during this new experience, like it was just the three of you.
They asked you questions about each article of clothing. What you liked, what you didn't, so they could help more effectively. Once you had some new clothes picked out, you headed past some soaps and deodorant. You looked at the items on the shelf but didn't say anything.
"Pick one," said Fives.
"Or pick many," countered Echo.
You picked up a few items, removing the caps and trying to figure out what scents felt like you. The boys waited and gave you space to think about it. You selected two.
On your way back you thanked them for their support on the outing.
"Any time," replied Fives.
"You might not be a clone," said Echo, "but you're still our brother."
