Ice Lovers (boyxboy)

CHAPTER 16

I didn't stay in bed, I got up from bed because I forgot to check on my brothers. I also hadn't let Maverick in my room so I had to let him in. I walked towards Miles’ room first, I opened the door, saw he was already asleep in bed, and shut the door. Then I went towards Micah's bedroom.

But when I opened the door, he's awake, standing in front of his mirror, with my mother's shoes and dress on. He froze up, neither of us moving an inch. “What…are you doing?” I asked him, a snarl on my face. “Uhh…” He just stood there, not knowing what to say.

Micah has been acting differently for a while now, he's been acting more feminine, I guess. I just assumed he might be gay and currently figuring that out, but this was definitely not something I'd expect to catch him doing alone in his room.

There's been quite a few things different about him since the beginning of the school year. Like I said, he's been more feminine. He's been growing his hair out, he'll wear more vibrant colors. He was even just fine with getting all of my sisters hand-me-downs that I didn't want. I guess these could all be signs he's gay, but they could also all be signs of something way different, something I had no experience with.

All I could do was sigh and take a step inside the room before shutting the door. “Tell me what's going on.” I stared at him, giving him no room for excuses. He sighed and rolled his eyes, seems he had also gained quite an attitude. “Uh…I…” He looked down, still not knowing exactly what to say. I just stood silently, not moving. I did soften my look though, so he'd feel a little better talking to me.

“I…Lately, I haven't…felt right…when I'm dressed like a boy.” He told me but I didn't say anything, I knew there had to be more for him to say. “I…don't feel right as a boy…I feel better as a girl.” And with that, I knew he was done. But, he basically just told me he's trans. Is my brother trans?

“You're…trans?” I asked, crossing my arms and tilting my head to the side, showing a look of confusion rather than anger. He nodded. She nodded? It's weird, I wasn't too confused, I guess I just felt more surprised than anything. “Uh, all of my friends at school use she/her pronouns for me. Not around anyone but friends though.” Does that mean I should use she/her pronouns when referring to Micah.

“So do you want me to use she/her pronouns for you? Refer to you as my sister?” I asked, wanting to have complete confirmation. And she nodded, verifying my speculations. Wow. So, I have another sister. I just nodded back, letting her know that I understand.

Then she smiled. Seeing my approval made her happy. This definitely wasn't something I expected to learn today. Especially on the day I gained a new boyfriend. Which I should tell her, Micah always likes to hear about my new relationships, and loves meeting them even more.

“Oh, hey, I have a new boyfriend.” I told her and her face lit up as she sat down to take off our mother's heels she'd been wearing. “Really? Tell me about him!” She demanded and I sat down to talk. “Uh…he's Hispanic, like he even can speak Spanish. And he's really pretty. Oh, uh, he's also on the hockey team.” Micah gasped hearing me say that. “You're dating someone on the hockey team?!” I nodded my head. “I know, but seriously, if he wasn't on the hockey team, we'd probably be dating way earlier than we are now.” I let her know.

Seriously though, Diego is so handsome, and I'm glad I can realize that now. Before, when I hadn't known him very well, I would've never called him handsome, just because he's a hockey player. “What's his name?” Micah asked, tilting her head a bit. “Diego.” I said with a smile.

Our conversation lasted a few more minutes before both of us were pretty tired. We both stood back up, she went to change out of the dress while I went back to my room to get to sleep. I got to my room, let Maverick in with me, and fell onto my bed. Maverick jumped up on the bed with me, and we quickly fell asleep.

A/N

I know this kinda came out of nowhere but I wanted to incorporate a trans character into this story at some point and it worked well that itd be one of Mason's brothers.
I think it works best partially because Micah's in middle school and I came out in middle school.
The only differences for me was that it was to my younger sister and I'm ftm instead of mtf.
Anyway, small rant but I just wanted to share that piece of personal info for anyone that reads this.
Also thanks for reading, I really appreciate any attention my story gets. ❤
