After Nick took a moment to process what Charlie might have whispered, he knew exactly how to respond.
"Baby, if you were asking about being able to wear the clothes around the house, the answer is always yes. I don't care what you wear as long as you're comfortable and safe. That's all I care about, okay?" Nick's voice was gentle yet firm, reassuring Charlie of his unconditional support.Charlie nodded quietly in response, their eyes meeting Nick's with a mixture of relief and gratitude. The weight of Nick's words lifted a burden Charlie had been carrying.
"Do you want to put them on now?" Nick asked softly, his gaze unwaveringly supportive.
Charlie looked up at Nick and slowly nodded, a small smile tugging at their lips. "Yes," they whispered.
"You can go do that," Nick encouraged gently. "Would you like help, or do you need space?"
Charlie paused for a moment, considering Nick's offer. "I think I'd like to do it on my own, if that's okay," they replied softly.
"Of course," Nick said with a warm smile. "Take all the time you need. I'll be right here."
With a grateful nod, Charlie headed towards their room, feeling a sense of liberation and anticipation. Nick watched them go, feeling an immense sense of pride and love for Charlie's courage and authenticity. As he waited for Charlie to return, he knew that their relationship was built on a foundation of trust and unwavering support, a bond that only grew stronger with each new step they took together.
Nick never wanted to inadvertently contribute to any gender dysphoria that Charlie might experience, especially considering how new everything was for both of them. The couple was navigating uncharted territory, learning and growing together every day.
"I want to surprise you," Charlie announced suddenly, a spark of excitement in their eyes. They began to rise from the couch, intending to walk towards their bedroom.
Nick, sensing Charlie's eagerness, gently pulled them close and placed a tender kiss on their lips. "Okay, I can't wait, my love. I'll be right here," he whispered, his voice filled with love and anticipation.
Charlie smiled warmly at Nick, feeling a surge of gratitude for his understanding and support. With a lightness in their step, they headed towards the bedroom.
After ten minutes, Charlie emerged from the bedroom wearing a stunning blue Long Sleeve Square Neck Dress Smocked Flowy Dress that came with pockets. The dress draped elegantly around them, accentuating their features with a gentle flow.
"Oh, Charlie, that looks good," Nick stated, as this was the first time he's seen Charlie in a dress.
"Do you not like it, Nick?" Charlie asked tentatively, sensing a hint of hesitation in Nick's reaction.
"No, baby, that's not what I'm saying at all," Nick quickly reassured them, reaching out to gently hold Charlie's hands. "I'm just not very familiar with clothing on this side of things, you know? But I'll get familiar and confident with it as we go. It's a learning journey for both of us."
Charlie smiled softly, feeling a rush of affection for Nick's honesty and willingness to learn alongside them. "Thank you, Nick," they said sincerely. "I appreciate you being open about it."
Nick returned Charlie's smile warmly. "Of course, Char. I'm here to support you, every step of the way."
They exchanged warm smiles, the intimacy of the moment settling comfortably between them.
"Where would you wear this to if you would wear it out?" Nick asked, genuinely curious about Charlie's thoughts.
"Well, I think I would wear it around home, maybe out for breakfast. I don't know, it's just a casual dress," Charlie replied thoughtfully, fingers gently adjusting the fabric.
"I love it. Are you trying to hint at more breakfast dates?" Nick teased playfully, his eyes twinkling with affection.
"Possibly, but I wouldn't wear this anytime soon in public. I want to try the next one," Charlie responded with a mischievous grin, already eager to explore the next outfit.
"Go for it. I can't wait," Nick encouraged, his voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. He loved seeing Charlie excited and comfortable, embracing this journey of self-expression and discovery together.
Charlie emerged from the bedroom in a stunning Dusty Purple Floral Print Long Sleeve Wrap Maxi Dress, the fabric flowing gracefully around them.
"I would wear this dress to events, I think. What do you think, Nick?" Charlie asked, twirling slightly to display the dress.
"Love the design. Very nice, Charlie," Nick replied with a wide smile. "And I don't think you'll be needing to steal my jacket when wearing this dress."
Charlie chuckled softly. "Yeah, right. You know it won't stop me from wearing it, or at least hiding in your arms," they teased playfully, leaning into Nick's embrace.
They shared a lighthearted laugh together, savoring the moment of ease and connection. Charlie glanced at Nick with a mischievous glint in their eyes. "I've got one more," they announced.
"Okay, I'll be waiting, love," Nick responded warmly, feeling grateful for these moments of joy and closeness. As Charlie disappeared back into the bedroom, Nick couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration and love for Charlie's courage and self-discovery journey. He knew that each outfit was not just a piece of clothing, but a step towards Charlie's authentic self, and he was honored to be a part of that journey.
Charlie slipped into the black leather skirt, feeling a rush of excitement and nervousness as they completed their outfit. They quickly found a white tight tank crop top to pair with it, aiming for a balance of edgy and casual style.
"Nicholas," Charlie called out softly as they stepped into the living room, their heart racing with a mix of anticipation and vulnerability.
"Wow... Ch... Char, you lo... look hot!" Nick stammered, his eyes widening in admiration as he struggled to find the right words.
"Shut up, please," Charlie chuckled nervously, feeling both flattered and slightly embarrassed by Nick's enthusiastic reaction.
"Ju... just look at you. You're GORGEOUS! I love you so, so much," Nick continued, his voice filled with genuine affection and awe.
"I love you too, Nick," Charlie replied warmly, their cheeks flushing slightly as they met Nick's intense gaze.
Unable to contain their emotions, the two leaned in and shared a passionate kiss, the intensity of their feelings igniting a spark between them. They melted into each other's embrace, as the moment got heated very quickly.
