Pete looked up, and ran a hand through his short hair,
"I- Ashley is- was- Fuck," he curled up again, completely given up on trying not to cry. Breath shaking, Pete raised his head to look at Mikey's hair, unable to look him in the eyes.
"I-I'm a boy, right?" Mikey nodded, relaxing slightly.
"Well, I haven't always, I m-mean, because it's d-different. Th-the reason we-I m-moved here, well, y-you see, FUCK!" he shouted, becoming angry with himself. Mikey wrapped his arms even tighter around the shaking boy.
"Breathe with me, c'mon."
When Pete had regained a normal breathing pattern and had stopped shaking slightly, he took a deep breath,
"Ashley is- was- used to be me." He said, and buried his head in Mikey's chest, as the older boy drew him in. "My parents k-kicked me out when I t-told them, so I had t-to m-move here with my aunt, a-and now my mum w-won't pay f-for child support s-so I might have to stop T and I c-can't do th-that, I just can't, I d-don't want-" Pete let out a choked sob, becoming slightly hysterical, "I j-just don't want t-to go b-back to being a FUCKING G-GIRL!"
Both boys were crying by now, if Mikey was slightly subtler.
"I can't go back to being Her. I can't do it," Pete whispered into Mikey's shoulder.
"You were never her. You never will be. No matter what you look like or sound like, you'll always be Pete, the boy. I promise."
"Really?" Mikey nodded.
"Always."
