They sit in the studio after listening to Harry sing.

"That's the first song of the album, Golden. What did you think?"

"Harry, I'm really excited to work with you." Parker smiles.

Harry and the rest of the team laugh at his enthusiasm.

Harry and Parker lay in bed together, a little drunk after partying at the club.

"You were getting pretty hot with that girl tonight. Did you get her number? She wanted to sleep with you. I could tell." Harry jokes.

"No I didn't get her number and I can't just jump into bed with anyone. I have to be careful because you never know how someone will respond to the whole lack of dick situation."

Harry sits up in shock, "What?"

"I'm trans, Harry."

"You didn't get one?"

Parker's eyes bug a little, and then he laughs. A full-bellied, red-faced laugh. Harry pinches his lips and lets Parker get it out.

"I thought..." he says once Parker has quieted, "I mean, to—I mean... you're a boy."

Parker grins and nods, knowing Harry is going to mess this next part up. Unintentionally of course, but wrong all the same.

"And... And boys have..." Parker has a little smirk on his face.

"Love." Harry whines, "I'm sorry, I want to learn. And I'm sorry in advance for all my mess-ups. I... I assumed that when you transitioned you got a penis."

Parker chuckles, "There isn't a mystical dick wizard that grants trans boys penises, Harold."

"I know! But, didn't you." Harry stops himself. He shouldn't sound defensive right now.

Parker sits up so Harry is no longer looking down on him. They need to be on equal ground for this conversation.

"Transitioning isn't a one-day thing, Harry. There are different parts to it... And those parts are completely optional. I'm still a man even without top surgery, and T, and short hair. I chose this because it's what made me most comfortable."

Parker looks at Harry through his eyelashes, eyes searching. Harry's heart constricts.

"Love, yes. I... Of course, you're a man. I'm sorry," Harry says, "For assuming you must have a penis if you're a man. That's... transphobic."

"Thanks for the apology."

"I have a lot to learn. So, sorry in advance."

Parker smiles and leans in to kiss Harry's cheek, "You're doing great."
