"Hello,Detective." (Don paolo x Gender-fluid Detective reader)

"We're here.",said the taxi driver which was driving you.

"Thank you.",You said. "Here's the tip."

You handed him the money.He took out your bags.

"No,no,I can do it.",You said getting the luggage.

"Your opinion.",said the driver. "Don't come crawling back when you struggle with your luggage."

"I won't.",You say. "I'm a detective after all."     

You're moving in your brother,Clark Trition's house.It's been a while since you've last spoken to him until now.

Dear y/n,

I'm glad that you are turning over a new leaf.It's best to start over.And yes, you can stay in my apartment.I think that Luke would be happy to see you again. 

From your brother,Clark Trition.  

The last letter you written before asking him you could stay with him was this:

Dear Clark,

I can't let the lies blind you about me forever.I'm going to tell the truth.I'm Gender-fluid.You can be mad at me at this all you want,but it won't change me for who I am.

From your sibling,y/n

He hasn't responsed to that letter.You wonder that if the letter was sent to the wrong address. 

You made your way to the house your brother lived in. The sight was quite familiar to you. You had visited this place before when your brother first moved in here. You walked up the steps and reached the door as you rang the bell. After a short while, the door was opened.It was revealed to be your brother,Clark.

"Y/n,it's great to see you again.",said Clark. "Luke is up in his room.He's probably busy."

Luke,your nephew.You two have grown quite a bond when he was a baby to the age of seven.He'd go on your lap and ask you to tell him a story back then.You wondered if he became distant with his family since the divorce of Clark and your sister-in-law,Brenda.

"Come in.",he said. "I'll show you your room. 

You followed Clark to your new room.The birchwood stairs creaked as you and your brother walked up.The two of you then came across a wooden door.The golden door knob glimmered in the sunlight.

"Here it is.",said Clark as he opened the door.

The room was perfectly tidy.You felt a wave of nostalgia.It reminded you of a tv show where a girl who's parents died had to live with their aunt and uncle.Which in the first episode,in one scene,the girl sees her new room for the first time.

"Do you like it?",Clark asked.

"Yes.",You answered.

"How long will you stay here for?",Clark asked.

"Not sure.",You replied. "Probably two months or so."           

After an awkward moment of silence, you look back at Clark. "Thank you for letting me stay here."

"Of course," Clark smiles. "It's always nice to see you."

You and Clark make your way back downstairs. You notice a closed door at the end of the hallway. Curious, you walk over and try the doorknob. It's unlocked. You push open the door slightly and peek inside.

It's a small room. On the wall, there's a framed picture of a woman holding a baby.

"Brenda...",You say knowing it's Brenda holding Luke when he was a baby.

"Yes, that's her," Clark replies walking in. He looks at the photo with a small smile.

You take a closer look at the photo. Brenda is smiling at the camera as she holds Luke in her arms. The two of them look so happy together.

"I miss her, you know," Clark says softly. "She was such a great mother to Luke."

"I know.",You say. "Has Luke been affected by this?"

"Kind of.",Clark answers.

It's obvious that he doesn't know you're Gender-fluid.It was sent to the wrong address.

You decide to approach Luke's room after a while.He's now twelve which means he's almost in his teens.You take a deep breath,and knock on his door.

"Come in.",said a voice.

You open the door.It's Luke now wearing a blue jumper.

"Hello Uncle Y/n.",He said.

Something seems off.He calls you Auntie Y/n when you pay for a visit.Perhaps Clark did get the letter,but didn't say anything about it.

"I know you're Gender-fluid,",He began. "And I'm proud of you."

"Thanks Luke.",You say. 

After a while,you decide to hit the hay.But before you go to sleep,Clark visits you with pajamas in his hands.

"I thought that you needed some.",said Clark. "So I got some from the attic."

"I don't need it.",You say.          

"I insist really.",He said.

"I don't need it.But if you want me to,than alright.",You took the pajamas. "Anyways,I'm happy that you accept that I'm Gender-fluid."

"You are?",Clark asked confused. 

"Don't you remember?",You asked. "I sent you a letter."

"A letter?",Clark is confused. "I don't remember any letter that you're Gender-fluid."
