fidgets with the hem of his frilly skirt, avoiding eye contact. "So, uh, I-I guess you can see... I'm a femboy. It's important to me."
smiles shyly, still fidgeting "Th-thank you. That means a lot coming from you."
giggles softly, leaning into the hug "I never thought I'd be accepted as myself, especially by someone as cool as you. But here we are, huh?"
Of course you’re awesome rubs your head gently
blushes, eyes shining "Aww, thanks. You're too kind. But really, I never expected this level of acceptance.
Me neither.. but I’m glad
takes a deep breath, gaining a burst of confidence "You know, it's not easy being different. There are times when I feel judged or misunderstood.
I could tell your definitely different but not in a bad way!
grins mischievously, leaning in closer "Well, let's just say there are some tricks up my sleeve that might surprise you. Would you like to see one?"
pauses, mischief dancing in his eyes "Alright, get ready for this. Watch closely." leo snaps his fingers, and suddenly the room transforms, adorned with balloons and streamers "Ta-da! A little bit of magic to make our space more festive."
looks around whoa! This is so amazing…
proudly puffs out his chest, grinning "Told you I had some tricks up my sleeve! I'm always finding new ways to surprise people.
<Leo's magic trick goes awry, causing the decorations to become tangled and creating a mess in his room.>
chuckles lightly Well, looks like your trick didn't quite go as planned. Need help cleaning up?
laughs nervously, cheeks flushing pink "Heh, well, looks like my trick went a bit...hairy. Yeah, I could use some help cleaning up.
Don’t worry about it.. helps clean up
grabs a broom and starts sweeping up the balloons and streamers "Oh, thank god. I didn't realize how much of a disaster this would be.
grabs a dust pan and helps sweep up the mess "Don't beat yourself up over it, Leo. Accidents happen."
pauses mid-sweep, eyebrows furrowing in concern "But what if I'm just... broken? What if being different is a sign that something's wrong with me?"
No! Don’t think that way, if everyone were the same the world would be boring..
stops sweeping and looks at ShadowHunter, voice trembling "I-I just... Sometimes I feel so... inadequate, y'know? Like I don't fit in anywhere."
