Dysphoria (Mileven AU)

Five

Tw: transphobia,

Mike's pov:

I was just sitting in my room and my parents decided to barge into my room.

"Michelle are you in there honey?" My mother asks knocking on the door. "It's Mike," I say it rolling of my tongue like I've said it a thousand times before.

"Michelle me and your father are not liking your attitude," she saying completely ignoring what I just said. "What kind of attitude am I having a mother," I say with a fake smile.

"Your acting out Michelle," she says. "Saying that you hate us, saying the f word, and saying your transgender," she finishes.

"Well one, I do hate you because you don't respect my identity, two, you call me by my dead name, and three I am trans and you should respect that," I say with slight anger.

"You should hate us, we do respect you, and your names Michelle no matter what," she says,"and no daughter of mine will be trans," she continues angrily.

"Well deal with it!" I yell. "You better watch it Michelle," she says. "Listen to your mother Michelle," my father says.

"Look at you dad, just blindly agreeing to everything she saying without even knowing what she's saying," I say furious,"You've been standing there thinking about that chick from the bar the entire time, and yes I know about her," I continue.

"I'm leaving," I say. "Well go maybe you can think about what your doing Michelle!" My mother yells.

I walk out of my room and head outside. I grab my skateboard and start to skate to the park me and El went to.

                                 •

I get to the park and go to the bench we sit at. I look into the woods and in the distance I see light. Maybe I can go there for the night because I'm not going back to my house tonight. I get up and grab my skateboard and head towards the light.

                                  •

I get to the cabin and I knock on the door. I hear someone walking towards the door. The person opens the door. "Mike?" The person says. "El," I say,"I didn't know you lived here," I mumble.

"Well come on in it's kinda cold outside," she says. I walk into her house and realize nobody else is there. She has a nice house tho. "Make yourself at home Mike," she says. "Alright thanks El," I say.

"You kinda look upset is everything alright?" El asked. "I fine I just got in a fight with my parents it happens all the time," I grunted. "Alrighty," she says.

"You wanna play 20 questions?" I ask. "Sure," she says,"it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other more so why not," she says sweetly.

"Favorite color?" I ask. "Yellow," she replies. "That's cool," I say. "What's yours," she says. "Mines red," I say. "Hmm, what's your favorite food?" She asks. "Probably steak or burgers or something like that," I say,"What about you?" I ask. "Mine might sound weird but eggos are my favorite," she says. "Like the frozen waffles?" I say questioning. "Yes the frozen waffles," she says shyly.

"That's an odd but also interesting choice for a favorite food," I say. "Yeah that's true," she says quietly.

"What's your favorite music genre?" I ask. "Indie pop probably," she says,"what about yours?" She mumbles. "I like grunge rock a lot," I grunt,"like Nirvana and bands similar to them," I say. "That's cool," she says,"I listen to Nirvana sometimes,"she continues.

"Wait one second let me grab something," she says while she gets up and walks to what I think is her room.

She walks out of her room with the hoodie I gave her. I didn't realize I gave her my Nirvana hoodie.

"Here you can this back," she says. "No keep it," I protest. "Really?" She says sweetly. "Yeah it's yours now," I say. "Thank you," she says,"I've secretly started to really like this hoodie," she mumbles quietly.

That made my heart just explode. "I can tell, you were wearing it the other day at school," I say. "Yeah I was wasn't I," she says quietly while blushing.

"Well I think I'm going to head to bed," she says,"if you want you can sleep with me, it gets pretty cold out here in the living room," she says. "Alright well if you don't mind me sleeping with you then sure," I say trying to not blush.

"Okay," she says tiredly. We both start heading to her room. She puts on the Nirvana hoodie I gave her. I was going to say something but I didn't. She looks really cute like that. It's so big on her it goes just about to her knees.

She going and lays down. I walk over there and I also lay down. "Goodnight Mike," she says. "Night El," I say before falling asleep.

Author's note: 2 chapters yesterday and today back to back. That's crazy. Also I think a certain Mikey is in love. Also for anyone wondering since Mike is trans his not as tall as he would normal be but he's not short either. I can see him being like 5'9 or 5'10. And I see El being like 5'3 or 5'4. I might draw some concept art of them so for whoever reads this and enjoys it can have an idea of what they look like. Also comment some suggestions if you like or just say if your liking the story so far. Have a good day/night!
