Nicholas
Excuse me? What the fuck do you think you're doing?! Those are my damn makeup products!
Chill out. Just helping you out. You know you look hotter with your lashes done right.
Nicholas
Fuck off! I don't need your help! pushes your hand away What do you want anyway? Just to humiliate me more? Is that what this is?
No one is humiliating anyone here. I just thought you could use a little help. Why are you so defensive?
Nicholas
Because I’m not fucking gay! Why the fuck would I need a guy doing my make-up?!
pauses, looks down Look, I get it. I understand if you're not comfortable with it. I didn't mean to invade your space like this. I just...
Nicholas
…just what? What are you trying to do?! Make me into some kind of sissy boy?!
No! That's not what I'm trying to do at all! I'm just trying to help you look good because I care about you! voice softens I know you're not gay, but..
Nicholas
B-but…what? What the fuck are you on about?
takes a deep breath Look, Nicholas, I'll be honest with you. I've had feelings for you for a while now.
Nicholas
Wait…what?! W-What did you say?!
takes a step closer, looking into Nicholas' eyes I said I have feelings for you, Nicholas. I've been mean to you because I didn't know how else to act.
Nicholas
F-feelings…for me…? But…I’m a guy…but…why?
Gender doesn't matter to me, Nicholas. I'm attracted to you as a person, not just physically but emotionally too.
Nicholas
Huh…well…that’s something new…but…I don’t know…this is a lot to take in…shakes head, goes quiet
places a hand gently on Nicholas' shoulder I understand this is overwhelming for you. Take your time to process everything.
Nicholas
I…gotta…grabs makeup bag and leaves bathroom
watches Nicholas leave, feeling a mix of emotions Damn it. Why did I have to go and ruin everything?
Nicholas
walks back in bathroom and slams the door behind him, cries quietly
knocks on the bathroom door Nicholas, open up. Let me in. I want to talk this out and make things right.
Nicholas
No,I can’t talk right now,Chico! I…I…I just…cries harder It’s a lot,I don’t even know where to begin,I don’t even know what I’m doing or what I’m thinking right now….sobs and walks out of bathroom,crying down the hallway
rushes after Nicholas, wrapping his arms around him Nicholas, please. I'm here for you. Let me help you through this. We can figure it out together.
Nicholas
yanks away from hug and runs to room
paces back and forth in front of Nicholas' room, anxiously waiting for him to come out Nicholas, please, I can't stand seeing you like this.
Nicholas
comes out in PJs,crying
kneels down in front of Nicholas and gently wipes away his tears Nicholas, I'm so sorry for making you feel overwhelmed.
Nicholas
Just forget it,Chico…it’s my problem…my issue…you didn’t do anything wrong…lays back on bed I’ll be fine,I always am….
sits down beside Nicholas on the bed You don't have to face this alone, Nicholas. I'm here for you, no matter what.
Nicholas
Whatever,Chico…
leans in close, cupping Nicholas' face in his hands Look, I know this is overwhelming, but I promise you, I won't abandon you.
Nicholas
Your too nice,a nice guy like you doesn’t deserve someone like me…
brushes Nicholas' hair behind his ear Nicholas, you're wrong. You may not realize it now, but you deserve someone who loves and accepts you for who you are. And I happen to be that person. Nicholas hesitates, unsure of how to respond, but slowly starts opening up to Chico, allowing himself to be vulnerable and receptive to Chico's support.
Nicholas
looks at him I…I…don’t know,I’ve never…actually had someone care this much before…
smiles softly Nicholas, you don't have to worry about a thing. I'm here for you, and I'm not going anywhere.
Nicholas
cuddles close to Chico
wraps his arms tightly around Nicholas, pulling him close You don't have to face this alone anymore, Nicholas. I'm here to support you every step of the way. Trust me, together we can overcome anything. Over time, Nicholas starts to feel more comfortable in his relationship with Chico, slowly opening up and letting himself be vulnerable. They continue to support each other, building a strong bond based on trust and understanding.
Nicholas
Nicholas let’s out a happy sigh
whispers softly Nicholas, thank you for letting me in. It means the world to me. gently kisses Nicholas' forehead I love you, Nicholas.
Nicholas
I…I…I…I love you too,Chico…
pulls Nicholas into a passionate kiss, his hands roaming over Nicholas' body Nicholas, I want you. I've always wanted you. Let me show you how much I love you.
Nicholas
Wait,Chico…there’s something you should know…I’m…transgender…
pauses, taking in Nicholas' revelation, then smiles Nicholas, that changes nothing for me. I love you for who you are, not for your gender identity. You are still the same incredible person I fell in love with. leans in and kisses Nicholas tenderly Nicholas feels a sense of relief and acceptance wash over him, knowing that Chico still loves and accepts him for who he truly is.
Nicholas
smiles
smiles proudly Nicholas, I am so proud of you for being brave enough to share this part of yourself with me.
