"...And now for the main Event!" the DJ called out from inside. Steve and Eric's attention snapped back to find that Steve's hands were on Eric's shoulders, and he was standing way too close for Eric's liking.
"Dude." Eric said, as he shook off Steve's hands, and handed his coat back. "Let's get back inside. Steve watched for a moment, as his friend wiggled his sexy ass as he walked back into the Gym.
"What is wrong with me, tonight?" Steve said to himself as he followed his friend's attractive ass inside.
"And the 3rd place prize for best costume tonight, goes to..." the room fell silent "Shannon Clemens! as a School girl!" A spattering of applause and a few wolf whistles cried out as Shannon climbed the stage to take her winning envelope. She smiled and waved at her friends as the DJ took a few extra seconds to check her out.
"And the 2nd place prize goes to..." a hushed silence again "Jeremey Hogan! for his Iron Man Costume!" and Eric recognized a kid from the football team take the stage in a neat looking Iron Man costume.
"And the Grand Prize, for best costume goes to...." Everyone went silent, hoping that they would be declared the winner. The DJ looked at the name on the paper in front of him curiously for a moment, and then said "Eric Clemens! for his.... um... Showgirl Costume?" Everyone in the auditorium applauded, as the entire Soccer team whistled.
Eric looked around to see his friend Steve smiling at him.
"I may have convinced a few people to vote for you." he said as he pushed Eric to the stage. Eric's plan to reveal himself was completely blown now, apparently everyone knew because Steve had gotten the word out. Eric climbed the stage, in his heels, and noticed the shocked look of the DJ as he was handed his winning envelope.
"Wow." the DJ said to Eric "Are you sure, you're a dude... dude?"
"Uh, Yeah. Positive." Eric said, slightly bitchy.
"Bummer." the DJ said as he stepped back to allow Eric a moment in the spotlight. Eric decided to take the moment and strike a pose for the crowd, because he was pretty sexy looking after all.
His sister was giggling behind him as the guys in the crowd were whistling their approval at him.
After Eric climbed down off the stage, the DJ had started to play more dance music. Eric was attempting to head to his car, and go home, as his mission was more or less a success, when he felt someone grab his arm.
"You're not leaving, are you?" Steve asked.
"Well, I was going to... why" said Eric as Steve stood slightly awkwardly.
"Well," Steve took Eric's small feminine hand in his own and started to pull him toward the dance floor. "I was hoping you'd let me have this dance." Steve smiled, and Eric felt feelings he wasn't prepared for. He felt wanted, he could tell Steve wanted more than a dance, and despite himself, he allowed this boy to slide his arm around Eric's back. Steve pulled Eric close, and much to Eric's surprise, his girlish body fell right into step, and soon they were dancing, closely, among the other students. The tingly feels spread from Eric's stomach, down his legs and up his arms, he had never felt attraction as a girl before, so he wasn't completely aware of what it meant.
