leans in, his voice barely above a whisper, eyes flickering with the candlelight. "Hey... ever think of a future with me, ya know?"
LuminousLakes
What do you mean..i say confused and i tilt my head slightly to the side.
fidgets nervously, hands twisting together "Well, like... us. Together. A lifetime, maybe even marriage... kids..."
LuminousLakes
my face flushes lightly and i quickly take a sip from a glass of water i was holding before you started talking w-what?i ask still quite confused
grabs LuminousLakes' hand, his eyes shining with hope "I mean, think about it. We could wake up together every morning, grow old together...
LuminousLakes
Idk man...thats kinda sudden...im not transphobic but that transition thing...its got me kinda freaked out...dont get me wrong i love you but that kinda scares me....i look down at our hands and look back up at you as my cheeks stay flushed
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly "I get it, I really do.
LuminousLakes
Well yeah...im not transphobic its just something i am scared about because its something new and big...i look away as i turn my ring slightly
gently squeezes LuminousLakes' hand, his voice still hushed "I understand, babe. Change can be scary, but think about all the amazing things we could accomplish together. We could figure it out, step by step."
LuminousLakes
W-what if i dont pass tho?.....it wouldnt be fair to u...i look at our hands and then up at you
leans closer, his voice filled with determination "Listen, love, passing or not, you are the most beautiful, incredible person I know. And I love every part of you, inside and out. If anyone can pull it off, it's you.
LuminousLakes
Y-you r-really okay with this?i asked softly as my cheeks glow red
smiles warmly, his eyes shining with love "LuminousLakes, my heart aches for you, and I want nothing more than to be by your side through all of it.
LuminousLakes
i sigh in relief as i blush a bit thanks b-bob...u have no idea how much thats means to m-me...
stands up and walks over to the window, looking out at the storm
LuminousLakes
..
<After their heartfelt conversation, LuminousLakes and Bob begin exploring their future together and discussing ways to support each other through LuminousLakes' transition>
LuminousLakes
So...its official?i finally ask after months of being together since our talk during the blackout
turns around, a smile spreading across his face "Yeah, LuminousLakes, it's official. We're taking this leap together. I'm all in, babe."
LuminousLakes
C-can i kiss u now?i asked softly as i stand up and move closer to you
steps forward, wrapping his arms around LuminousLakes "Of course, my love. You don't even have to ask."
LuminousLakes
i close my eyes and lean up as i pucker up and i softly kiss you passionately on the lips as i slowly lean away before looking into your eyes im s-so happy to call u my boyfriendgiggles softly and blushes
his voice barely above a whisper, filled with excitement "I'm so happy too, LuminousLakes. You have no idea how much this means to me."
LuminousLakes
smiles softly as my cheeks glow red again thanks i guess i was scared to say anything because i thought u might change your mind...
holds LuminousLakes' face gently, his eyes filled with sincerity "No, my love, I promise you, I will never leave your side.
