Trials of Fire | Maya Bishop x G!P Reader

Chapter 3 - The Truth

Y/N POV

"W-What do you mean? What are you talking about?" I try to keep it cool, keeping my nerves calm.

"Andy tells us that you got some girl's number whilst at the hospital. Not bad for your first day probie" Miller smirks at me.

I let out a deep breath that I didn't realise that I was holding in. I walk over to the table and sit down with my plate of food in my hand. I tuck into it and eat like I haven't eaten in days.

"Calm down Y/L/N, no one is taking your food off you" Andy spoke to me, a slight smile on her face.

"I'm just hungry, that's all. I haven't really eaten all day" I slow down with my eating.

The next hour goes by and we are all just chilling in the lounge, talking, watching the TV. I stand up and grab myself a coffee from the beanery. It's getting late but knowing my luck, I will go to my bunk room and try sleep and the alarm will go off. A cup of coffee will hopefully wake me up enough to go through this shift a bit longer. Not like I'll be going out anywhere and fighting fires, instead, I'm on aid car with Herrera. At least I'm not stuck on desk duty, that would really suck as desk duty can be one of the most boring jobs when it's a quiet and slow day. You're just sat at a desk twiddling your thumbs and listening to the alarms go off for call outs.

I head back into the lounge and sit down, relaxing. Taking advantage of not having to go out just yet. As much as I love being a firefighter, I also love being able to sit down. After the adrenaline rush wears off, the pain really starts to appear. The only downside to pushing your limits.

"Probie!" I hear someone shout as they pull me out of my thoughts. I look around and see Bishop looking right at me.

"Yes Captain?" I stand up, brushing myself down.

"A word in my office" She says to me with a serious face. I'm in trouble now.

"Yes Captain"

I walk out of the lounge, following Bishop to her office. I can't think of anything that I could have done. I went and got checked out. I haven't done anything strenuous. I've followed orders. We both walk into her office and I sit down in the chair opposite to hers as she sits down too.

"Have I done something wrong?"

"No, I just wanted us to have a private space to talk about stuff without anyone else interrupting us or overhearing us"

"What would you like to talk about exactly?"

"I pride myself on keeping my eyes forward at all times but I would like to be educated on your situation as such. Sorry... that could have been worded better. I obviously understand that you are non-binary and intersex. How did you figure out who you are with your gender identity with being intersex?"

"That's a bit of a loaded question isn't it? I guess it just... I didn't feel right with identifying as female or male so I did some research and came across non-binary and it seemed to describe how I felt. It is difficult with being intersex as I have both boobs and a dick. I've come to terms with it and accepted it. It took me a long time to come out to my family. They... kind of accepted it. I mean, they have a freak for a child as my father put it. But yeah, that's kind of it"

"I'd like you to know that if you ever wanted to tell the rest of the family, they won't judge you. We all care about each other. We are a family, and you are a part of that now"

"Thank you Bishop, it really means a lot. I want to gain their trust first before I tell anyone. I get that we are all family but I'm scared to tell anyone. I know that you have to know for legal reasons in case anything were to happen to me and hospitals need to know but apart from that... I want to get to know everyone else first before telling them about my whole situation. Do they know about the pronouns that I use?"
