Remy and the genderfluid agenda
-he figured it out after an evening out shopping with some gal friends and they were generally being babbly and happy and w/e
-but then the night was done and so they all went home right
-and just before bed, in the bathroom brushing his teeth or something Remy has to do a double take in the mirror
-it’s like he forgot?? that he’s a boy??
-and it’s a weird feeling but he laughs it off for now
-exp it keeps happening
-so e does what any sane person would do
-googles it
-but most of the result tells him about being trans or something but he’s like
-“but I’m a boy tho”
-“except, well-except Right now I guess”
-(the “I am confusion” vine.com)
-so he gives up trying to find a word for it
-but he gets himself necklaces and bracelets that he wears around the house and that makes him feel better
-and that goes on for a couple of years
-and then he meets Virgil, who’s great once you get past the equivalent of the great wall of china he has around him
-and then he meets Patton
-Patton who wears dresses like its nothing and who likes pastels and soft things and all those things that people would usually frown upon from a guy
-and Remy think oh? not alone? same hat??
-(except it’s not the same, Patton’s very much a boy and Remy still very much feels like a girl sometimes)
-but he gives it a second chance and googles it again because it’s been a couple of years and he’s heard a couple of new terms and names on the streets and also he lives on the Internet so
-and there’s a couple of people with the same questions but none with the right answer
-because he still feels like a boy on most days, doesn’t hate his body, doesn’t want long hair and boobs-
-except when he does
-and it’s harder on those days now because he knows there’s a word for it somewhere and he knows there are others like him somewhere
-so he just lets those days happen. let’s himself be more feminine on those days and it helps
-he’s known Virgil for the most part of a year now
-he’s seen a lot of the other boy’s bad days and weaknesses and vulnerability
-they’re hanging out and jamming a bit but mostly eating pizza and talking about anything when Remy decides to tell him
-he still doesn’t have a name for it but he tells Virgil how he doesn’t feel like a boy some days-just some days
-how he pronouns leave a bad taste in his mouth some days
-and it’s silent for a bit and Remy kind of wants to take it all back and forget about it
-but Virgil nods and asks if today’s one of those days and it’s all good
-and boy, Virgil lives with the embodiment of an encyclopedia and knows how to google stuff better than with vague questions, Remy
-and he texts him later that night with a couple more question, “if you don’t mind me asking-you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to it’s fine”“-oh my gosh V it’s as fine now as it was the first twenty times you asked”
-and the next morning Remy wakes up with a text that’s just reads “genderfluid?”
-and after his own quick google search he just LIGHTS UP AND CALLS VIRGIL AND he hasn’t even had his coffee yet but he feels like he had ten shots of espresso injected into his veins
-but then Remy just freezes and asks very quietly if Virgil told anyone
-and sigh with relief when told “no-not until you’re ready”
-and he coULD KISS THAT BOY if it weren’t for the phone-?? …wait what?
