Dinah blinked as she was heading for the door of the dorms, to head back up to the roof. "Um. Nice... boxers?" she tried weakly, then waved to the new guy behind Zack who she didn't know.
And now we're beyond whoa and into pure flail, because hi, hot guy, and wow, confused, and hey, Zack under a sheet. Dinah gulped, stared, and turned redder than red.
"I have?" Dinah squeaked, holding out her hand to shake his, shields up really high. "Um. And you, you know Zack really well, how does that work?" She paused. "Have you been here invisible all this time or something?"
"Right in front of your face and draped all over him the entire time," came the uniform's pleasant reply. "You know, he has a really nice back. You can't tell from this angle as well, though. I mean, under that bedsheet and all."
Zack was going to never wear clothing again. Except he couldn't do that, either. Oh, this was unfair.
Dinah spluttered at that image, still holding onto the Uniform's hand. "I noticed, I mean. Yes, his back is nice. Most of him is very nice. And ... Zack, are you ever coming out?" That was not how she meant that. "I mean--!"
"No. No I'm not," Zack insisted, because oh gods the direction that this conversation had taken was absolutely absurd and he was never, ever living this down. Ever.
"He didn't even catch the double-entendre in that," the uniform mused. "Cute, isn't it?"
More squeaking sounds.
The squeaking from under the blanket was never going to end.
"Uh-hunh?" It sure backed up that virgin story, not that Dinah had doubted it exactly, and um, this was just bizarrely awkward. "Where were you two going, again?"
"Other clothes," Dinah repeated. "I, um, wait. What?" She reached out to pat poor Zack, then drew her hand back for fear of which part she'd pat. "Zack, calm down, it's okay!" She looked at the other guy again, and slowly asked, "You're his...?"
"SOLDIER 2nd Class Zack's Uniform, reporting for duty," came the reply, with a small salute and a click of his heels.
"He was like that when I woke up this morning," Zack replied, poking his face out from under the bedsheet. He was still a healthy shade of pink, naturally. "And he didn't want to go and get me any of the clothes that Fiona helped me shop for."
"It was like he was trying to replace me," the uniform scoffed. "With clothing from the Gap."
"Well, he can't drape you over his shoulders now," Dinah pointed out, turning pink to match Zack. "I mean. He could. But. Still chilly, and possibly provoking concern?"
"Just a little," Zack said, and the squeak and the flail was back on again. The uniform was getting ideas. You could tell, because he was draping an arm over Zack's shoulders.
"As if it's something I've never seen before. I'm just sorry he isn't wearing his boxers with the little hearts on them. He makes them look good."

Excuse Zack. He was going to pull the bedsheet up over his head and try to smother himself to death, now.

Give her a minute. It's early yet.

"And a virgin," the uniform offered. "Though I'm certain he'd be more than happy to toss me aside if it meant that he could get himself lai--"
"GAH."

"You've met me before too," he noted, and quite pleasantly.
Zack was trying to melt. Please? Please melt? Melt and not have to deal with this? Ever?

The blanket was now flailing. It looked something like a squeaky ghost.
