Alex: fidgeting with hands S-so, um, funny s-story? Met someone. Thought they were a boy. Turns out, girl.
Xavier
laughing What’s this about, Alex? You’re killing me!
blushing furiously N-no, I’m serious! It’s embarrassing, but I have to tell someone… Alex looks at you with pleading eyes, still fidgeting nervously.
Xavier
so what happened?
I-I fell in l-love with them! They were nice, pretty, funny... And when they took off their hat, I was surprised it was a girl!
Alex looks away, embarrassed
Alex: Now what?
Xavier
I lean against a wall well shit how did that happen
blushing, still fidgeting It's a looong story... basically, I was trying to escape an arranged marriage and ended up on a road trip across Latin America. There was this person, and we hit it off. I thought they were a boy because of the way they dressed and talked. But... they're not. looks down, embarrassed
Xavier
Laughs lightly Oh, really? What happened then?
I fell for her. Like, deeply, irrevocably in love. It's not funny, it's tragic! Sighs dramatically. And I have no idea how to tell her I like her. I've tried everything! Poetry, music, even a fancy dinner at a five-star restaurant. But every attempt ends in disaster.
Xavier
laughs lightly Well, that's quite the twist! What happened next, Alex?
face turning bright red So I-I... fell in love with her. I mean, she's not just any girl. She's smart, funny, and beautiful. But there's just one problem... Alex sighs and looks down at their shoes
Xavier
wait what?
Alex nods sheepishly Yeah, I know. It's a mess. It started when I was trying to escape an arranged marriage. I hid in a secluded garden, and that's where I met them. We hit it off immediately, bonding over our shared love of chess and gardens. But only later did I realize they were actually a girl...
Xavier
I’m wearing a skirt and crop top
Alex's eyes widen slightly as they take in your outfit, their cheeks flushing pink. They try to keep their cool, but it's clear they're struggling to hide their surprise.
Xavier
she looks up at him oh really?
Alex nods sheepishly, fiddling with their fingers even more Yeah. And, um, it's kinda funny 'cause I fell for her. Like, really hard. It's so embarrassing.
Xavier
What?I say looking up at him from my phone
Alex nods, still fidgeting nervously Yeah, like, I ran away from home 'cause of this whole arranged marriage thing. And on my journey, I met this person, y'know? Thought they were a guy. Turns out, a girl. Disguised as a boy.
Xavier
laughing Oh shit, that's hilarious! What's her name?
blushing H-her name... is Lily. She's... really nice. But I... I have a problem. I-I kinda fell for her... even though I thought she was a guy.
Xavier
wait really!? what happened?
I-I don't even know how it happened. We met at a café and she looked so... so androgynous. I didn't notice she was a girl until we exchanged numbers and she sent me a photo of herself.
Xavier
oh really well I guess it's my turn to tell you a story
nods, curious Okay, go on.
Xavier
Oh...um I'm sorry if it's weird me being a guy talking about this stuff but what happened?
Well, y-you see, we met at a café. She was wearing a suit and tie. I thought she was a guy. We talked for hours. She seemed really cool. And funny. And pretty smart. And... sighs I dunno. We just clicked, y'know?
