Trans Will

"No. No. You see, you call me by my name or I'm not talking to you. Absolutely not. You're an asshole." Will groaned frustratedly as he hung up the phone, turning around to see Nico there.

"Who was that? What'd they call you?" Nico asked curiously. Will glanced away, running a hand through his hair nervously.

"Some old friend and an old nickname. Nothing important." Will answered. Nico got overly close to Will's face, looking at him inquisitively.

"You're likely lying, but I don't want to push it." Nico told him. He gave Will a peck on the nose, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, just about. Let's go." Will put a bag on his shoulder and starts out the door, Nico following close behind and grabbing his hand.

"Willow! Oh my lord above, is that you?" Someone shouts suddenly. Will looks like he's about to respond but he doesn't, and Nico assumes the person isn't talking to Will. The two just keep walking.

"It is! Willow, it's been so long! What did you do to your pretty hair? It's me, Jasey!" The person gets up in Will's face, standing in his way. Will makes an attempt at walking around her but she just moves to block him.

"Willow? Is that an old nickname?" Nico asks Will. Will looks visibly uncomfortable and the stranger looks confused.

"No? Willow is her name, duh." Jasey told Nico. Nico looks confusedly at Will.

"Your name isn't Willow, it's William. Right?"

"Are you catfishing this nice boy, Willow?" Jasey asks condescendingly.

"My name is Will. I am male. I've transitioned since you knew me." Will stated.

"Ah, sorry! Did not realize! I have to go, contact me on Facebook!" Jasey rushed away, feeling awkward. Will sighed.

"Will, you're transgender? Why didn't you tell me? And how did you transition? When?" Nico was quick to bombard Will with questions.

"I am. You're from the forties or whatever, I didn't think you'd get it. Think it's weird. It's not as though it even matters anyway. Apollo found out and did me a favor. A few years back." Will answered quickly, looking at Nico nervously.

"I don't think it's weird, Will. It doesn't change anything. I just wish you'd told me so I could correct her for you." Nico took Will's hands, looking at him seriously.

"Are you sure?" Will asked quietly.

"Of course. Nothing could stop me from loving you, William. Especially not something like that."

"...Thank you. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. It's okay. Now let's go to hot topic and buy all the gay shit they have!" Nico announced. Will chuckled.

"To hot topic we go!"
