Aether's pov:
Robin: So wait, you're a dude?
Aether: No, I'm actually non-binary. I just huh... got a penis when we gave me birth.
Robin: I'm so bad at this LGBTQ thing, I'm sorry.
Aether: It's ok, you'll get use to it.
As we are decorating the house, Robin started asking so many questions about me, which was a bit uncomfortable, but interesting to answer. I taught him about LGBTQA+ and different sexualities, pronouns and genders. The poor man is all confused.
Aether: Non-binary basically means that I don't feel like a boy, nor a girl.
Robin: So, how should I call you then? Not boyfriend, not girlfriend?
Aether: Partner is the right word in the case.
Robin: Oh, yea, makes sense.
He smiles a bit but I can tell he's still concerned about this. I get the last sticker on the window and gets down from the ladder Robin was holding. My feet now on the ground, I kiss his cheek and strokes his hair a bit.
Aether: Don't worry about it too much, I can give you some examples of cute names you can use.
Robin: Please do, this is a bit confusing.
I sit on the couch and taps the place beside me. He sighs and walks to it, then sits, looking at me.
Aether: What are some names you wanna call me?
Robin: Hm... Well baby, babe.
Aether: These are fine, they are gender neutral.
Robin: Then huh... sweetheart?
Aether: Yea, still good.
Robin: My love.
Aether: Mhm.
Robin: Oh, well this isn't too complicated.
He chuckles and rubs his neck nervously. I smile and kisses him. Robin looks a bit surprised at first but kisses back and smiles too.
Robin: I'll make sure to use the names and pronouns right, I promise.
Aether: No need to stress too much, ok?
I stroke his hair again, laughing lightly. To think we met only like a month or two ago. It was like a novel, a story. I fell instantly in love. And me who thought love at first sight was nothing more than imagination.
Aether: Try and concentrate on your Halloween costume for tonight instead.
Robin: Are you sure you wanna come to this Halloween party with me? I know you ain't very sociable and extroverted, you don't need to force yourself.
He does have a point, I hate crowds so much. But it's a moment I can share with him and his group. If I want to feel welcome in their group, I must pass time out of my comfort zone, aka reading and listening to music.
Aether: I wanna come, Robin. I'll be fine. It's not the first party I'm going to a party. Plus, there is no need to fear it, you'll be around, right?
Robin: 'Course I'll be with you.
He holds me closer, sharing his sweet lips with mine. I giggle and kisses back, bringing my arms around his neck.
Robin: You're so cute.
Aether: Yea, yea, I know.
Robin smiles and kisses me once again. I go with it, running my fingers through his hair slowly. I push away softly after a few seconds.
