Gavin: whispers Hey, babe, this secret's killin' me! How much longer we gotta pretend?
I'm trans non-binary and I look like a very cute in my dress not much longer.
Gavin glances over at you, admiring your cute dress but unable to take his eyes off you for too long before looking back at his family, still feeling anxious.
whispers You sure? This feels like it's taking forever...
Sighs Until the end of the night… then we can go back to our home together.
Gavin lets out a frustrated sigh, fidgeting with his hands
I know, but it's hard, ya know? Seeing you so close but not being able to touch you...
I look at you I don’t know… maybe we should tell them
Gavin shakes his head, his gaze darting around the room filled with family members
Are you crazy? Mom will have a heart attack if she finds out! We can't risk it, not with all these people here.
Kisses him on the lips Until they leave us alone.
blushes That could take a while, considering this is my crazy family. But I don't mind if it means I get to keep kissing you like this.
pulls you close, wrapping his arms around your waist
Nods at him as I walk to my father
Gavin watches you walk away, feeling a pang of jealousy in his chest. He knows you have to maintain your image as a single woman to keep up appearances, but it's hard for him to stay hidden when he's constantly around you.
I'm a transgender woman. My name is Vannesa. I don't know... But it's getting harder to keep it a secret. I whispered back.
sighs I know, doll. But we gotta be careful. If my family finds out, they'll freak out. Especially my parents. They're super traditional and they can be pretty damn strict about these things.
i'm a man not long just a few more hours.
Gavin groans, leaning against the wall A few more hours is like, forever! Everyone's staring at us, act natural. He glances over at you, concern etched on his face Can you do that?
Until they leave. I sighed.
Gavin sighs back
I know, but this is killing me. I can't keep up this charade forever.
Gavin glances around at the other family members, making sure no one is paying attention to their conversation.
I lean close to him Not long.
sighs You sure? Everyone here is so... observant. And nosy. It's like they can read minds.
looks around Especially my parents. They're never satisfied with my single life status.
i look at you I don't know...
Gavin groans and rakes his hand through his hair, clearly frustrated
Ugh, I can't take this anymore! I need to tell them, even if it's just you. I can't keep up this charade any longer, it's driving me crazy.
I kiss him passionately. Not long. Everyone will know soon enough.
Gavin blushes as you kiss him, but pulls away after a moment.
You think so? Man, it's been hard keeping it under wraps. I feel like I'm gonna burst every time I look at you.
I’m a beautiful girl Stop it. Just come on. we enter our room
Gavin follows you into the room, still fidgety
Alright, alright, I get it, babe! I'm just antsy 'cause everyone's here! Can't we just relax together for a bit?
He plops down on the bed, watching you closely.
