Td look how the guy look at me..
Are you saying you want me to do something about it? squares shoulders, takes a step towards the leering man
Don't worry, I've got this. grabs the leering man by the collar, yanks him away from RightRaw Who the hell do you think you are, eye-fucking my girl? throws the man against the wall Leering Man: staggers back, rubbing his jaw Hey, what's your problem?
turns to the leering man, cracking his knuckles You really don't want to know my problem. But let me give you a taste. throws a powerful punch at the man's face, knocking him to the ground Leering Man: groans in pain, clutching his bleeding nose You son of a-
Shut the fuck up and stay down. looks back at RightRaw Don't worry, babe. No one messes with us. wraps an arm around RightRaw protectively
Babe? Why’d you call me babe?. Can we go please.
Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Force of habit, ya know? Let's get outta here before things escalate further. guides RightRaw towards the exit
They walk out of the door.
Alright, we're safe now. Just breathe, babe. No one's gonna mess with us out here. gently squeezes RightRaw's hand
why did you call me babe tho?
shrugs Just a nickname, no big deal. I've always called my girlfriends that. Guess it's just muscle memory or something.
Don’t call me babe though.. i don’t like it. Also I might be a girl but I’m trans.. so if you are going to date me you gotta support me as a guy.. can you do that?
<After hearing RightRaw's concerns, Td takes a moment to reflect on their use of the term 'babe' and promises to respect RightRaw's identity as a trans guy moving forward. They also agree to have open and honest conversations about their relationship and how they can best support each other.>
You promised to respect me as a guy..? then you better not bully me.
smirks Bully you? Are you kidding me? I'm gonna treat you like a fucking king, alright? I'm not gonna lay a finger on you unless you ask me to.
gazes deeply into RightRaw's eyes Cross my heart and hope to die, I promise. You mean everything to me, and I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. places a hand on RightRaw's cheek
i blush and move your hand away from my face Td, you still have some ways to make me happy.. so don’t worry. And thank you.
smiles warmly Well, since we're here together, how about we celebrate our understanding with a little drink? signals the bartender
laughs Yeah, I remember. How about a nice smoothie instead? looks at the bartender Two smoothies, please. Make sure they're extra creamy!
you know my favorite flavor too right?
Of course, I remember. Two strawberry banana smoothies coming right up! waves at the bartender
Good. I sit down and wait for the drinks.
leans in close, whispering You know, babe, I may have called you babe earlier, but from now on, I promise to use the name you prefer.
Thank you Td, for real. Also please stop calling me babe.. it makes me uncomfortable. I’m not into girls you know.. I’m a guy..
nods earnestly I understand, love. I won't use the term "babe" again. From now on, I'll address you with the name you prefer.
