Ghost BC - Trans Papas

XII - Clothes

"Oh I'm not so sure about this, C", you told your boyfriend as the two of you entered the mall.
"I mean what if they think I'm not a real woman? I've only come out to you last week, how would they know?"
You nervously scratched the back of your neck but he shook his head heavily.
"Nonsense! Who cares what they believe? You wear what you comfortable in and that's it, if I hear any negative comments about you, my inner Bruce Lee's gonna snap. I'm even wearing my fuck you jacket, just for the case I need to flip off someone".
He cutely lifted his fists and threw a few punches in the air which made you chuckle relieved.
"Alright Mister Lee", you said and patted his fists down. He suddenly stopped and stepped in front of you
"But honestly, it doesn't matter whether you're on hormones, whatever size your hips are or how long your hair is, to me you're the most beautiful woman in the world and as your boyfriend, I hope my opinion counts more than the of a few brainless idiots".
You began to feel like all negative feelings you had for this trip before were suddenly blown away by the reassuring words of your wonderful, protective boyfriend.
"Of course your opinion matters more, it matters most because you're the person I love most in the whole wide world"
"I love you too, mi amore", he spoke with a smile before he placed a soft kiss onto your lips.
"Oh mh", he mumbled a moment later as you parted.
"I love your lipgloss"
The two of you laughed as he tried rubbing it off but actually divided it over his lips.
"Alright, I give up", he eventually said as he still hadn't gotten it off once you entered the shop of your choice.

Given that this was the first time you went shopping since your coming out, you intuitively walked up to the men's section before you heard Copia clear his throat loudly behind you.
You turned around to him standing in the women's section with a wide grin on his face.
"Don't you think this might be more of what you're looking for?"
He was pointing at a beautiful dress which made your eyes widen as you felt totally overwhelmed by its beauty.
"Oh my, Copia! This is the prettiest dress I've ever seen"
"And I may not dare imagine the way it'll look on you, amore! You will look absolutely stunning! I suggest you try it on at this very moment"
"You think so? I mean what-", you were interrupted as he laid a finger on your lips.
"Let your doubts fall like a shadow in the light, my love. Please give it at least a try, I promise you will not regret it"

He didn't need to convince you more, you really loved this dress and knew you'd hate yourself until the end of times if you didn't try it on so you searched it out in your size and made your way to the changing rooms. On your way there, you also picked out a few cute shirts and pants so you'd eventually walk in with a mountain of clothes in your arms. Of course Copia offered his help but you didn't mind dragging everything around by yourself. You were too excited to try the dress on so this was the first thing you did.

Copia walked circles into the ground as he waited to finally see you and jumped up excited as you finally drew the curtain and stepped outside the changing room. His jaw dropped immediately and his eyes began to shine, almost more than yours. You were absolutely astonished by the way you looked in it and you could tell Copia loved the look just as much.
"Mi amore.. I don't know what to say", he began and looked at you. As he suddenly wrapped his hands around your hips and lifted you up, you let out a little yelp.
"You look fabulous, my love", he laughed as he swirled you around which made you laugh excitedly.
"Oh Copia", you chuckled and were a little relieved as you felt your feet back on steady ground.
"So you think I should take it?"
His eyes widened a little perplexed,
"That's still in question? I'd be devastated if not"
"I'm just messing with you, silly! Of course I'll take it!"
You happily returned to the changing room and tried on the rest of the clothes you had picked. Around an hour later, you and Copia made your way back home with the clothes of your choice.

"Thank you for coming with me", you told him as he drove up to the ministry's parking lot. He then turned to you with happy puppy eyes.
"Thank you for asking me to come with you, Y/n. I feel honoured to be part of this new chapter in your life and to be honest, I've never seen you as happy as you were today. I'd give the world to see you smile like that every day from now on"
You felt your eyes go teary at his words, it felt good to know you weren't alone and supported by the most amazing human being in the world.
You slowly moved your face closer to him and pressed a long kiss on his lips to express your love and gratitude for him, which he gladly returned.
"So", he began as the two of you had parted a moment later.
"Shall we bring your new self inside and show everyone what a beautiful girlfriend I have?"
You gave him a nod and the two of you stepped out the car before you laid your hand in his and crossed your fingers with each other.

A/n: I figured this book could use some more trans women appreciation so here we go! I hope you enjoy this chapter and as always, feel free to make requests of what you'd me like to write.
