(A/N: I apologize if the characters are out of character. This is my first SR fic because I recently got into the fandom)

Trigger warning: Transphobia

Y/N POV

A musical. It was new to you and from what you heard from your older brother, Nick, the idea of a play with singing intrigued you. But there was one problem, it was about eggs. . . . of all thing that could inspired Nick it had to be damn eggs! It was such and absurd idea that it MIGHT just work.

"Fine, I'm in." you told Nick

"Great, Y/N!" He smiled then turned to Nigel. "How 'bout it, Nigel?"

"That's a terrible idea! Do you two hear yourselves? he glanced back and forth between the two of you. "I don't want to write a musical about eggs!"

"Let me guess, you'd want to one inspired by 'the Bard' ?!" Nick spat, jealously. He used air quotes when he said 'The Bard'.

"Maybe I wasn't" he raised his voice. They kept arguing until you were sick of it.

"Oh my Lord," you shouted over them. Your idiot brothers finally shutted up "I'm absolutely exhausted of you guys bickering back and forth like a married couple! Either apologize or one of you leave"

"Okay" Nigel crossed his arms in fusteration and walked outside, slamming the door. Now the three Bottom brothers were two.

-A week later, during a practice for Omelette-

"She can't be here! She's a woman!" one of the members complained.

"Of course HE can, because he's a man" Nick stood up for you. Even though there were women in the show, the man didn't like that you were born a girl. "If you don't like it, leave" Nick pointed to the exit. The man ended up staying and never complained.

Toby/Shakespeare's POV

A man named Toby... or should I say Will Shakespeare walked in the practice space for the cast of Omelette. He immediately was intrigued by a man.... or woman.... he couldn't tell. After looking for a minute, he concluded that the human was a man in his late 20s/early 30s. Will approached from the guy from the side, he was standing next to his competition, Nick Bottom.

"Excuse me, sir?" Will said as he approached the man. The male must've not notice him approaching and got startled because he jumped. 'Jumpy fella, eh?' the Bard thought to himself

"Uh, yes?" the man turned to face him. He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed from being startled. Immediately, Will could tell that the man was a related to the Bottom brothers, but from his knowledge of his nemisises, they only had a sister, not a brother unless he heard the information wrong. Then Will realized Nigel wasn't there. If he wasn't where was he?

"Hello, my name is Toby Belch. I'm here to join the usical." Will lied

"Oh, sure! What do you think, bro?" the male turned to Nick. 'So they are brothers', Will thought

"Whatever you think, Y/N." Nick waved his hand to dismiss his brother who Shakespeare assumed was Y/N. Nick was distracted talking to another person

"Okay, you're in!" Y/N exclaimed without a second thought. "Oh, I'm Y/N Bottom, by the way" he smiled. 'Such a beautiful smile', Will thought 'Wait... why am I having these thoughts? Nevermind that, I got to stay in character'. He realized Y/N was holding out his hand to for him to shake. Will shook it.

"Okay, people, let's start rehearsal!" Nick shouted to be heard because a lot of the troupe was talking

"Cya after practice!" Y/N said as he ran over to join his brother. Will was starstruck because Y/N was amazing and nice compared to his brother.

Y/N's POV

-After rehearsal-

You wanted to ask Toby on a date. He seemed like an okay guy plus he was handsome. "Hey.... I-I was w-wondering...." you were flustered.

"Shh.." he put his forefinger on you lips indicating for you to be quiet "Of course, I will"
