The Science of Falling in Love

New Haircut

Realised I never introduced Xingqiu properly so here he is.

Slight mentions of transphobia I guess but nothing too in depth. Just people mentioning it.

Also I'm not transmasc or a transman so if any of this is inaccurate or bad don't hesitate to let me know and I will edit it. I can only really go off of my own experiences with gender and anything I know from other people who are transmasc/transmen so obviously if anything is written badly or not correct please let me know. Thank you.

"Hey Xingqiu, you cut your hair." Chongyun said as his boyfriend walks towards him.

"Yeah I did. It's not very good though. I was in a rush." Xingqiu said and sat down, placing his head on Chongyun's shoulder.

"I think you look great." They said and kissed Xingqiu on the forehead.

"Thanks." 

They sat in silence for a minute before Chongyun spoke.

"Did something happen with your dad again?" They asked.

"Kind of. Can I stay at yours tonight? I'll explain it then."He said.

"Oh of course. "

It was a very long day for Xingqiu. As much as he liked spending time with his friends, he really just wanted to spend the night with Chongyun. Somedays, his boyfriend was the only thing he had to look forward to, today being one of those days. Not to mention his sports bra was a bit tight and starting to hurt.

He moved his arm and slightly adjusted it and sighed. 

 He didn't really get anything from school, he'd transferred with his new name and pronouns already in place at school, some of them didn't even know he was trans at all, just assuming he just had quite a traditionally feminine appearance. 

However his family was a different story. They said they supported him but half of them still either dead named him or called him a she. Heck even his brother slipped up and referred to him as sister. But none of them were as bad as his dad. For some reason he out of all of them could not just fully except it at all. 

Which is why when he saw Xingqiu up at 5 o clock in the morning cutting his hair short with kitchen scissors and a binder visibly showing he was pissed. 

Xingqiu could not be bothered to deal with it after school and just decided to avoid it entirely.

Which is why when the last lesson of the day finished he ran up to Chongyun as quickly as he could.

"So do you want to tell me what happened?" Chongyun asked.

They were cuddling on Chongyun's bed after having eaten snacks as soon as they got in.

"My dad saw me cutting my hair and wearing my binder and he yelled at me. I mean I don't know what he is expecting me to do though. I've been bugging him for months to get it cut short."

"What did he say about the binder?" 

"Oh he yelled at me about that too since I have it without his permission. He's probably thrown it out or hidden it. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I barely have anything I need in the first place and now he's gonna get rid of my binder. I just couldn't deal with that tonight."

Xingqiu felt a bunch of kisses being placed on his face and he smiled.

"You really don't deserve that shit. I hope you know that."

Xingqiu snuggled closer into Chongyun.

"You tired?" 

Xingqiu nodded.

"Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when dinner is ready."

Xingqiu closed his eyes and fell asleep on his boyfriends chest, smiling in his sleep.
