Ftm Tendou ✨
Tendou laughed, looking at Ushijima on the screen of his phone. "Wa-Kun. I'll be fine. It won't be too bad."
Ushijima turned, folding clothes. "I can't help but be worried Satori. You're going to be going into surgery in the morning. Something could go wrong."
"So? I might like- not have a nipple. I dunno. Scarring. No one but us and strangers at a beach or something is going to see my chest babe." Tendou yawned. "Fuck I'm hungry."
"You're not allowed to eat…"
"I know, I know." Tendou took off his shirt and unclipped his binder. "Wakatoshi stop staring at my boobs."
Ushijima laughed. "Satori I'm not staring at your chest."
Tendou put on a hoodie and a pair of pajama pants. He laid on the recliner part of his couch, which he'd already set up to get prepared to sleep on his back with. One of his hands went over his top.
"Are you okay?"
"It's so weird… I've had this body for twenty years. But I'm excited. I get to change my body to feel better and so that I look cis." He laughed. "I am actually so glad I was able to prepare mentally."
"Did you take laxatives?"
Tendou snorted. "Yes, babe."
"And pillows and blankets?"
"Yeah. And shorts. And flip flops and scar cream. And ice cream. And plenty of food." Tendou yawned. He looked over. "And a new bottle for water. I washed all my clothes too."
Ushijima smiled. "That's great…"
Tendou's eyes widened. "Oh my God and the expectations! I'm expecting this to look like shit so I don't get post-op depression."
Ushijima nodded. "I won't tell you mine. As I promised."
"Thank you!" Tendou sighed. He rubbed his eyes and yawned again. "I love you."
"I love you too," Ushijima whispered. He watched as Tendou fell asleep, still smiling. He climbed into bed after setting a timer.
He knew Tendou was nervous. He didn't know that Ushijima was actually in the country and that he was going to be a main caretaker for him. Ushijima had contacted the roommate Tendou lived with and they had agreed on a plan. It was going to be a ton of work.
But that was what Ushijima was there for.

Tendou looked at the doctor who was speaking with a nurse. He knew what they were saying and talking about.
But something felt so off.
"Excuse me?"
"Hm?"
"Can I call my boyfriend?"
"Of course." One of the nurses gave him his phone.
Tendou hurriedly called. "U-Ushy?"
"Are you alright Satori?"
"I'm scared."
"Why are you scared? Is it the surgery?"
"I want… I want you here. I want my mom. I want Semi-Semi. I want Goshiki. I need someone other than James here with me."
"Well, I'm here until they take your phone. You can call me right after. I'm right here."
Tendou shakily breathed out. "I love you so much. I really do. I want you to know that. Because you're the best person ever. I love you. I love you. I love you."
