" hey matt can you come over, i want to tell you something." I say and he nods. " cant you tell me now, or is it important?" He asks and i tell him i need to tell him in person.

Lately I've been feeling like i want to go by they/them pronouns and i need to tell matt but i dont know how he will react.

I hear a knock on the door and matt comes in and kisses my cheek. I smile and we go up to my room. I lay on my bed and he sits next to me and kisses my head. " whats up?" He says and i sit up and face him.

" i understand if this is weird and you can totally not be okay with it but i want to go by they/them pronouns." I say and look down at my hands in my lap.

" thats what was important." He asks and i look up and blush. " i thought you would be weirded out." I say and he shakes his head.

" so how do i introduce you to family." He asks. I smile at his understanding and sit back in his arms. " just say something like. This is my girlfriend, their name is y/n." I say and he smiles.

" so not, this is my breathtaking and amazing and smart girlfriend and their amazing and pretty name is y/n." He smiles and i blush.

" that works too." I laugh and kiss him. " so your okay with it." I ask. " of course. Why wouldn't i?" He asks and i just shrug my shoulders.

~A couple days later~

I knock on matts front door, suddenly nervous to meet his family for the first time. I tighten my grip on the flowers and teddy.

" hey, how are you? What are they for?" He asks and i hold out the flowers and " you said you had a dog." I say and give him the teddy.

" TREV y/n brought you a teddy. Aren't they so nice." He shouts and i smile at him using my pronouns. " thank you." I whisper and he brings me through to the kitchen where everyone is standing or sitting for dinner.

" everyone this is y/n they go by they/them pronouns." He announces and Mary Lou comes up to me and hugs me. " these are for you." I say and she kisses my cheek. " thank you dear." She says and i smile.

" im chris." Chris says and he fist bumps me. Nicks comes up to me and hugs me. " im nick, did you say your pronouns are they/them." He asks and i nod.

" hi y/n im Jim." Their dad say and he hugs me. I sit down for dinner and we all eat.

*just remember whatever your pronouns are you are valid. My wattpad messages are always open for you to talk if you need to talk to anyone.*
