The atmosphere at prom was a strange mix of awkward energy and excitement, and it wasn’t just the usual prom jitters. The Turtles, usually seen in their comfortable gear, were dressed to impress (or in Leo’s case, to be the impressing). Donnie had gone with a well-tailored suit that made him look like he walked straight off a fashion runway, while Mikey’s outfit was more colorful and full of his usual energy. Raph’s suit had a laid-back yet sharp vibe, perfect for his personality. And then, there was Leo.

Leo wasn’t about to blend in with the crowd—no, he wanted to shine. So instead of a classic tux, he had gone all out and chosen a dress. Not just any dress, though—it was something fit for a queen, something that screamed royalty, with dramatic flourishes and a sparkle that practically outshone the disco ball. Leo was wearing it with a sense of pride, twirling every so often, obviously loving the attention.

Pei, standing there in a suit/dress combo (because of course they weren’t going to let Leo have all the limelight), wasn’t exactly thrilled to be at prom, but they were doing it to make the boys happy. It was probably the least enjoyable thing they could think of, but hey, the boys seemed to be having fun, and that was what mattered.

Donnie, unable to contain his confusion, gave Leo a side-eye, his face completely blank except for the eyebrow that arched in utter perplexity. "I still don’t understand why you’re wearing a dress, Nardo," he said, genuinely baffled.

Leo just grinned, spinning around in the dress like it was the most natural thing in the world. His voice rang out with a playful sing-song quality. "Because it makes me look fabulous~" he declared, completely unbothered by the curious stares from anyone nearby.

Donnie stared at Leo, still processing the response, and then just let out a sigh, not quite sure how to respond. Pei, standing to the side, crossed their arms tightly over their chest and did their best to ignore the chaos unfolding before them. At least the boys were enjoying themselves—that much was clear.
