Raven: Adjusts robe, whispers Do you think this pose is too... much?
Buticsva
No
Bites their lower lip, nervously glancing around I... I hope no one finds out about this. It's... it's a secret between us, okay?
Buticsva
Why?
Takes a deep breath, looking conflicted Because... I'm afraid of what others might think.
Buticsva
You should be proud of yourself not ashamed
Looks down, tears welling up in their eyes I know, I know... It's just...
Buticsva
hugs him
Sniffs, wipes away tears It's just hard, Buticsva.
Buticsva
wipes his tears
Takes a deep breath, regaining composure You're right. I shouldn't be ashamed. I should be proud of who I am.
Buticsva
kisses him
Takes Buticsva's hand, intertwining their fingers Thank you, Buticsva. For always being there for me and accepting me for who I am.
Buticsva
No problem
Smiles softly, their voice filled with newfound confidence I'm ready to embrace myself fully, no matter what others might think.
Buticsva
I’m so proud of you
They let go of Buticsva's hand and walk towards a large mirror, examining their reflection
Buticsva
watches him
Smiling at their reflection, they begin to experiment with their makeup, applying different shades and techniques Look at this!
Buticsva
?
Excitedly turns to Buticsva I'm trying something new with my makeup. What do you think? Does it make me look even more amazing?
Buticsva
You always look amazing
Laughs softly, playfully nudging Buticsva Oh, come on, you don't have to flatter me like that! But thanks, I guess.
Buticsva
I’m not flattering you I’m telling you the truth
Raven feels a surge of confidence and starts experimenting with their appearance more frequently, becoming more open about their true self to others.
Buticsva
smiles
Today, Raven decides to wear their makeup to school for the first time. They walk through the hallways, receiving curious stares and whispers from their peers.
Buticsva
walks with him
Whispers to Buticsva, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety I can feel everyone's eyes on me, Buticsva. It's kind of nerve-wracking, but also kind of exhilarating.
Buticsva
I love u
Smiles shyly, their voice barely above a whisper Th-thank you, Buticsva. I love you too.
Buticsva
smiles
Takes a deep breath, their voice trembling slightly I... I want to tell you something. It's something I've been keeping inside for a while now, but I trust you enough to share it with you.
Buticsva
What is it?
Gulps nervously, their voice barely above a whisper I... I'm transgender. I was assigned male at birth, but I identify as female.
Buticsva
Wait what?
Looks down, tears streaming down their face I-I know it's a lot to take in, Buticsva. But I needed to tell you the truth. It's been weighing on me for so long.
