Alright. Well. Ganymede had been branching into all sorts of things with his experimentation with clothing making - it was going well, by his standards... But tails. Tails. They were the bane of his existence and he didn't exactly have one to figure out how to make pants work with. Honestly, he knew a couple of people who did, but the candidates were... well... Imps. And as much as he liked Anchriesel (loved? Liked? He was having trouble figuring out which...) and ... tolerated Leilah (Ella was completely out of the question), imps had so much fluff he didn't want to fuss with it.
So. He was left with one option.
Foras.
He paced around his part of the room. Foras wasn't there at the moment - off probably hanging all over Alioth. Which was fine! Tooootally fine. He needed to think of a way to ask Foras to play model for him, anyway. It was a simple question, right? So why, oh WHY was it so difficult?

Foras had been spending more and more of his time outside of his dorm room lately. Probably because Gany and Ella had been doing much the same lately. It wasn't fun when one of hem wasn't home. He liked the background noise of having them around when he worked. Besides that, he also had a boyfriend to spend time with and a Club to run. So he'd been quite the busy individual lately. As it happened to day he had been in the Art room working on a rather big project. He had to work with a partner to create and paint a sculpture. Working one a surface like that was different than he'd excepted.
He had made sure to wash up as best he could before leaving, he had to leave his mess of an apron behind, it was so drenched in paint he wondered how he'd ever get it decently clean again. When he finally entered his room he actually felt a bit tired for a change. If no one was around, perhaps a nap would be nice.
The nap plan was thrown out the window however, when he saw Gany was in the room. He could never resist the urge to bother (was it really bothering?) Gany when he was around. He shrugged off his stiff shoulders and put replaced his exhausted expression with one of mischief instead. The pruple Geists was pacing a bit on his side of the room, although had slowed once he entered.
"What's got you all in a huff? Love troubles? Anytime you need a reprieve I'm quite happy to step to the plate for you." He winked in Gany's direction and then headed over to his own side of the room to drop his bookbag. He felt so much lighter getting rid of that thing for the first time all day.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear... Ganymede slowed to a stop once Foras entered the room, purple eyes narrowed on the hybrid. Of course he had to say something stupid. His markings flickered with mild irritation as he rolled his eyes. "No, Foras, I'm fine." He scoffed, though quickly realized that probably wasn't the best thing to do before asking for a favor..... Although, knowing Foras, he'd hop for the opportunity even if he had said something terrible.
He watched him set his things down, still readying the question in his mind. Was he tired? His energy seemed.. off. Wait, since when did he notice when Foras seemed off? He shook the thought from his mind. "I have a favor to ask, actually..." He started slowly, just waiting for Foras to get that stupid grin on his face. Ugh.
"I'm... working on a project but it has to fit someone with a tail, since I have to be able to make clothes for everyone, aaaaand I don't have a tail. But you do. SO." He trailed off, averting his gaze as he waved his hands a little while he spoke. "Would you, possibly, be willing to model."

Foras couldn't help but laugh when Gany said he was 'fine'. Ah well, what sort of answer had he expected? Maybe a little bit of teasing about his own relationship? Ah well, he continued to unpack his bag without saying much else. So, he wasn't exactly looking at Gany when he said he had a favor to ask of him. He froze for a second, his tail flicked behind him playfully behind him. When he stood back up and looked over at Gany he had a smirk on his lips.
"You know I'd do anything for you Ganymede." Her crossed his arms in front of him and waited for the other to explain exactly what it was that he needed. Foras had to hide just a it of disappointment that it wasn't some need for relationship advice. Still, modeling? That could be fun in it's own right.
"It's okay, you can be honest with me. What you really want are my measurements right? I'll share mine if you tell me yours." It really came out before he even thought about it. Myabe he had taken that one a bit too far. Since when did he think anything was 'too far' with Gany.. He shook his head and waved his hand in front of his face. "I'm sorry, what I meant to say was 'It would be my honor.' So, what are you putting on me today?" He decided to not risk having Gany to go to someone else for help with this. So he'd behave as much as he could. Which, well. Probably wouldn't be a whole lot...

Ugh, there it was. That smirk. He rolled his eyes, ignoring the slight flutter and ripple of lights his markings gave off. It certainly didn't happen. Nope. "Pfft, as if you'd know what to do with them." He shook his head, not really realizing exactly that the implications of that was until Foras actually apologized for it. What. Was he hearing correctly? Foras apologized for saying something weird?? He furrowed his brows, thinking on it for a moment before realizing it -- then lit up for a brief moment. Oh......
"Pants. Hence the tail. I don't even want to think about wings right now, ugh." He shuddered - that was going to be a bother and a half.... He shifted to pull out the pair he'd been working on - simple black jeans, not really sewn together just yet... "I need to pin these on you so I can see where your tail goes. And then alter them so they actually work..."
Clearly he'd been planning to ask someone bigger than him to do this in the first place - the pinned pieces of the jeans-to-be were far too big for himself to wear.

Foras took note of every little flash of color that passed through Gany's markings. Gany only thought Foras couldn't pick up on him. He might be a little on the grumpy demeanor, but Foras was definitely starting to pick on him his many emotion as small and almost unnoticeable as they were. His tail wagged a bit flirtatiously as Ganymede must have realized what Foras had meant by his original statement, though he had technically taken it back it was still amusing that he got that point across anyway. Water under the bridge now Gany, he'd apologized!
"Wings are a hassle. I don't envy the people that have to tailor the clothes a make. They tend to involve a lot of buttons and zippers and just open backs. It gets breezy back there sometimes." He shivered a bit as if to make his point. It was actually pretty excited about this. For one he did actually get to help Gany with his work for a change. It always seemed to be the other way around, with Gany providing him tons of inspiration for his own work. And secondly, Gany would be very close to his tail for a while. He could only think of all the fun that could come from this.
"Alright, well let's get started!" Foras made his way to the center of the room where they had the most open space. He'd have to keep his wings unfolded and stretched out so that Gany could work without them being in the way. It wasn't very often that he stretched them out like this, he really didn't go around trying to fly that often...
"It's probably just a coincidence, but those already seem to be quite the fit for me." Their was his wink again, he could only assume that Gany had probably intended to ask him for his help all along since those jeans seemed to be just about the right size for him. Wait, hadn't he decided he was going to behave at least a little bit? Ah well. He'd try to be better from now on.

Making things that could accommodate wings was not really something he particularly looked forward to... All of those things Foras mentioned were a pain. And leaving the back open only really worked for warm seasons. Which just wasn't going to cut it - it wasn't warm all the time, after all. And what if they wanted to go somewhere cold during the warmer seasons...? Eugh, no, stop thinking about it, Ganymede. Mentally he shook his head, but in reality just watched Foras move into position.
Good. He already knew how to stand - that made things easier on him. He really didn't want to have to... touch Foras anywhere to coax him into position, after all. That would be weird. He shuffled over, carrying the pieces of fabric with him. "Don't flatter yourself, most people are taller than me." He rolled his eyes, though... he had specifically cut them this long for Foras's height.... "Besides, the more fabric you have to work with, the easier it is to fix mistakes. Now hold still." He huffed lightly, undoing his pins to begin carefully attaching the pants to Foras's current pair to see what he needed to change....

Foras had to keep up a pretty simple mantra in his head, "Behave, behave, behave!" It was hard not to twitch his tail or ruffle up his feather with Gany so close by. So, willingly, close by. Why should Foras be teasing Gany anymore anyway? Gany had...Chries to spend all of his time with anymore. And well, he had his own boyfriend to ruffle his feathers for. It was probably just the fact that teasing Gany was just so, so, terribly fun to do. Yeah, he didn't mean anything by it. It was just a fun way to spend his time. Mhm, that's exactly what he thought.
"Ah, see it's the opposite for me. It tends to be more difficult for me to fix a mistake the bigger my piece is. When it's smaller, it's easier to just start over." What was he even talking about? He was starting to realize that he had a serious lack of things to talk about with Gany if he wasn't teasing him. Well, this was going to be a problem. The longer he stood there, trying to work out a suitable topic, the more those typical thoughts popped into his head.
"Behaaaaave." Foras really wasn't in the mood to talk about Chries, and that could easily cross into teasing territory anyway. Should he just talk about their project more? That seemed like it could get boring pretty fast. Suddenly if felt like they were falling into an awkward sort of silence. Oh no, what was going on here? As a sort of normal reaction to this sort of situation his tail twitch irritably. He was told to stay still...!
"Ah, sorry. I'm not used to just...staying still like this..." He folded his arms across his chest, before he'd been holding them out to his side, and tried to keep the embarrassment from showing on his face. It probably made him look a bit annoyed, but he's prefer that over what he was actually feeling.

He knelt down next to the taller boy, then pulled a tape measure from one of his pockets. Wait. He did have to touch Foras for this to work right. Ugh. He mentally kicked himself for thinking he could get out of this without further complications. "I have to measure... where the tail hole should be, so..." He mumbled, markings flashing with embarrassment as he reached up to very, very carefully line the end of the tape up with the top of Foras' pants hem and then down to the top of his tail. Awkwaaaaard.
"Yeah but you're painting. Its not the same as having a physical thing-- I can't just.... cover it up and start over again. I have physical limitations." He huffed slightly, mentally noting the measurement before pulling the tape away quickly. Okay... A few inches down, then... eyeballing the size of the hole, a couple inches across? Yeah... No, he'd just... ask Foras to measure the circumference of his tail or something, he'd be damned if he was going to do that himself. That would be too close.
Honestly he was too wrapped up in his own head to really notice the silence, though as soon as Foras pointed it out, he glanced up at him for a fleeting second... Was it really that weird? It was kind of... nice. Not in the awkward sense, but in the... He stopped that train of thought before it could finish. No. It was not the same as the silences with Chries.
"Figures. How do you even paint if you have to move so much?" He snorted, then started the inseam measurement....... Another awkward place to be putting the tape measure, but it had to be done. Gods he hoped Foras didn't make some sort of wisecrack about this...

Foras stayed as still as a stone as Gany began taking various measurements. How could anyone behave themselves as a model when someone put their hands all over you like this? Remark after remark kept passing through his thoughts and it took all of his effort to keep himself silence, just trying to focus on what Gany was trying to talk about as he worked. Seems they were just going to be talking about work after all. At least that was something.
"Well, it's different when I'm painting. I mean, certain parts of me are moving a lot. When I get absorbed into a piece the rest of the world around me just sort of falls away. So, it's not all that bad." He started to shrug his shoulders and then abruptly stopped, no moving Foras! He sighed a bit, letting out a deep breathe and then chuckled a bit. "It does feel great to get up and move around after an intense session of painting though."
Foras kept his gaze up and away from Gany as he worked, mostly because his face was turning a little more red than usual as his glowing friend continued his work. This was seriously testing Foras's patient like no other thing had before.

"So really its just that you don't have anything to concentrate on right now." Gany noted the measurement of his inseam, then pulled away for a moment to write it down along with the tail one- just in case... he didn't want to have to do this again. "...I guess its the same for sewing. It gets kind of... Stiff." He paused, looking for the correct word to use. Stiff seemed to work just fine, since he was usually bent over a sewing machine for quite some time.
He shifted to wrap the tape measure around Foras's upper thigh, again pushing aside some thoughts... Maybe he should have done this with Anchriesel after all.... at least it wouldn't be so... weird. "If you want you can have these when I'm done with them." He noted the measurement, then shifted to place the top of the tape against Foras's hip, then trailed the rest down to his ankle... Damn he was tall...

Foras nodded at Gany's comment. Although really there was a lot for him to think about at the moment. Like Gany's hands allover his waist, legs, inseams....That was probably the real, honest reason that he was getting rather fidgety. He was still trying very hard to be as patient as possible. Gany worked fast, this definitely wouldn't last forever. He brushed aside the thought that he actually did want it to last forever.
As Gany moved the tape measure up to measure his thigh he couldn't help the reason he had. His tail flicked and he let out a rather loud "Pffft." as that particular area was pretty ticklish. It wasn't exactly a place where people had their...tape measures all over very often so it came as a surprise to even himself. And it was so, super embarrassing. He definitely couldn't hide the blush on his face now, instead he brought his hand up to cover his face. It wasn't much but he was trying to just let the moment pass by.
"A custom pair of Gany pants? Check, yes please!" There it was, he couldn't hold it in forever. This was going to be over soon, right? Right? He needed to be painting, he needed to vent some of this...this...whatever it was into his art right now.

Ganymede squinted at the sound-- wait.. was Foras ticklish there? Oh, wasn't that just wonderful information. He supposed he could use that later if Foras was getting really annoying... after all if he was ticklish there, he was probably just ticklish in general. And annoying as Foras was, he at least respected the "don't touch me" rule Gany had most of the time, save for the stupid tail. Ugh.
"I had a feeling you'd say that..." He retracted the tape measure, then pushed himself up to stand. "Okay, we're done. Thanks... You can pull those off now." He nodded at the pants, then turned to shuffle back over to his bed to transfer the measurements he'd written down on his piece of paper to a proper notebook. Seemed he wasn't too far off the mark, just a few adjustments here and there...

Of yes, Foras had definitely revealed a weakness that day. He was very ticklish in pretty much any place that would be obviously ticklish. Alioth had already figured that out a while ago and used it against him all of the time. Fortunately Foras was a fairly large individual and once he got over the initial shock it was easy enough to hold him back with his long arms while he caught his breath. Many a painting had been messed up in this fashion...
And of course he'd say that! He couldn't behave for more than a few minutes. Such a shame, he really was trying to not annoy Gany during that time. In fact he was just trying to work on what could be his, overwhelming, personality as of late. He was given just a little too much confidence as a kid and it was time he started to reign it in just a bit. One small step at a time. But Gany had just asked him to take his pants off! Of the irony of it all...He pulled the pants off carefully, sure to not pull out any of the pins that Gany had placed to keep the pieces together. Once he had them off he placed them on Gany's bed.
"Well, I look forward to seeing them finished. Good luck!" He bounced over to his side of the room and snatched up his sketch book and bag. He was leaving his easel and paints behind for now. He had a couple of things he wanted to sketch out first. "See ya later! Don't hesitate to ask me for help later if you need it!" He bounced out of the room then and made his way outside. Alright, should he work on today? He knew that eventually these sketches would start to look like Gany no matter what he tried...

Ganymede barely registered him putting the pants down on the bed, though he spared a glance at the door when he heard Foras gathering his things. Off again? Not that he cared, it'd give him time to focus on getting the pants finished before class. "Yeah okay, see you." He nodded, then turned back to his piece of paper to finish writing his notes...
Leopleuradon We can call this one done i think??
