This Just Sorta Happens

A Problematic Romance. [WIP]

A/N: Legit just wrote this on a whim- Should I make this into an actual story?? I'm about to write some more in my notepad Soo.

I was just chilling. I really had nothing to do. Mars was doing who knows what, Mercury was racing- uh- himself, and Venus was on the other side of the Sun. "Where's Theia?" I thought. That was when she decided to surprise me.

"Boo!" She yelled from behind me, and that scared the shit outta me.

"AHCK!- Oh, it's just you. Hi, Theia." I said, retracting my fist from almost punching her. "What'cha doin'? you should be in L4 or L5"

"Oh, y'know. I just wanted to spend time with you! You're the beat planet I know!" She said sweetly. It was adorable, but I never felt at ease whenever she's complementing me. I knew she had a crush on me. Venus never heard the end of it, and she isn't all that great at keeping secrets. There was only one problem with Theia liking me. I don't like her back. Now, I'm not saying I dislike her, I mean, I do, but still; I'm.. well, there's not really a word for it, just yet. I'm hoping there will be one in the future, but for now, I don't feel love. It's not something that happens. I also can't say no to my friends, even if I really really want to. That's a problem because if she asks, then I'm screwed.

"Uh, Proto? You good? You went silent for a bit. Please, I wanna hear your beautiful voicee" She whined. God, her voice was annoying. She's like - crap.

"Oh! Uh, y-yeah. I'm good! Just uh, zoned out, hehe." I blurt out. Jeez, She's so needy.

"Okay! So, how ya been?" Crap. I could answer literally anything else.

"Uh, y'know, uhh." C'mon!!! THINK THINK THINK!!! "Business casual." BUSINESS CASUAL?A WHAT EVEN IS THAT?! BUSINESS. FUCKING. CASUAL???

"Oh! Uh, C-cool. I guess. Hey, uh, I'm gonna go, uh- talk with Mars. You just-  g-go find,  Venus?" And with that, she left. Did I really confuse her that much? Oh, well. I've been meaning to talk to her anyway.

After I left my orbit, it took me almost no time to find Venus. She was just looking bored. Good thing I brought my spare clothes. She always liked wearing my clothes!

"Hey, Venus!" I call out to her, getting her attention.

"Yea? what is it?"

"I confused Theia away, so now I can chat with you! I even brought my spare clothes!" I say in a sing-song voice, showing off my barrage of clothes.

"How do you confuse her away??"

"She asked me how I was, and I said 'Business casual' like an idiot."

"Welp, at least she's leaving you alone. Oh, earlier, she was ranting about your 'orbiting skills' or something. It's so weird."

"Aanywayyy, wanna try on some new outfits?" I say, changing the subject. I end up dressing her up for hours. She really likes boy clothes, huh? What's the difference, though?

"Hey, Proto?" She randomly starts talking.

"Yeah?"

"I'm glad you don't mind sharing your boy clothes, but how would feel if I stopped not only dressing like a girl, but uh, being a girl? J-just asking, though!" Well, that's a weird question. But what's it matter to me? Her body, her choice.

"I mean, it's not my right to judge. You do you. Now, are you saying like stop being a girl as in, no more girl parts? Or do you mean like he rather than she? Either's fine, but I do need to know."

"T-the second one. And I'm glad you don't think you're allowed to judge, but how would you feel about it?" What is up with her - or maybe him? I'll ask.

"Gender doesn't even exist to me! If you wanna be a boy, then you're a boy! that's that! I wanna be a girl sometimes, but other times I'm glad to be a boy! If I like to change Gender why can't you?! Who even made you think you couldn't be a boy?! Who hurt you?!" I Venus was probably trying to avoid mama bear mode, but now it's too late. Somebody made my child sad, and I will destroy them!
