She knew she was different.

She didn't like dresses or skirts or make-up- she never had. In fact, she didn't just dislike them, she hated them; she despised them with her whole being. Traditionally feminine things had made her uncomfortable for as long as she could remember.

Not only that, but her name- her feminine name- made her skin crawl. Hearing that damn name made her skin itch, made her scratch and scratch and scratch until her arms bled and her fingernails filled with sticky crimson red. That's why she went by something different, something more masculine, something that made her feel comfortable in her own skin.

"Mikey." She told her friends. "Call me that instead."

And who were they to deny her?

Her last year before middle school, she learned what she was and why she was the way she was and why that lady at the corner store had such a deep voice.

Transgender. That's what that lady was.

That's what Mikey was.

"I'm a boy." Draken was the first to know, was the first person he trusted with this new imformation. "My name is Sano Manjiro."

Draken, although slightly confused, accepted Mikey- accepted Manjiro. Of course, there were questions here and there, but Manjiro answered to the best of his ability and Draken listened, taking in everything his best friend said and thinking it over and over again until he understood.

After that, Manjiro came out to the others. Then, sometime later, his brother and sister and grandfather.

No one made any transphobic remarks, no one belittled him. They all welcomed Manjiro with open arms.

The founders of Toman and his family were the only people to know about Mikey's... situation. He always introduced himself as male and dressed as masculine as he could and even with his baby face, everyone perceived him as a cisgender male.

(When puberty hit, Shinichiro was there for Manjiro, saving up money from his shop for puberty blockers and testosterone injections and binders- just in case.)

Then, Manjiro met Hanagaki Takemichi. Then, Manjrio fell in love with Hanagaki Takemichi. Then, Manjiro confessed to Hanagaki Takemichi, both his feelings and his being transgender.

Takemichi (or Takemitchy, as Mikey so lovingly called him), took Manjiro's coming out well.

At first, he was confused and he said something offensive, though he quickly corrected himself and apologized when Mikey confronted him. Next, he was relieved, because Mikey was incredibly vague when he asked to meet and Takemichi, the poor boy, thought something bad had happened. Lastly, Takemichi was happy.

"Thank you for trusting me with this, Manjiro!"

Manjiro nodded, then continued on to confess his love for the faux blond.

"Oh. Oh!" Takemichi was even happier now as he accepted the confession.

And Mikey, the lovable bastard, declared Takemichi his and only his at the next Toman meeting.
