Badump
He was standing so close to me. He had one arm leaning on the wall above my shoulder, trapping me against my door.
Badump
"Don't run away from me again." He spoke so softly in my ear. His breath made me shiver.
Badump
"Adam, I like you." I gasped and finally looked him in the eye. His steady eyes were filled with honesty.
Badump Badump
"Y-you can't." I tear my eyes away from his and look at the floor. My bags still sat on the floor from when he suddenly came into my apartment.
"Why?"
Badump.
My heart is racing and breaking at the same time. I licked my lips nervously.
Badump
"Because I'm not what you think I am." I could see his lips pull into a small frown. It's almost unnoticeable, but he does it every time he gets confused.
"What do you mean?" He wouldn't move his arm. He's so close...
Badump. Badump. Badump.
"You're...you're gay...." I glanced at his face. Now his eyebrows had scrunched up. He's so cute...
Badump.
I swallowed, steeling my nerves. If he hates me...what will I do? Tears welled in my eyes at the thought. I felt him wipe one away as I closed my eyes and finally told him the truth.
"I'm...well I'm...trans..." I can't look at him. I don't want to see his anger or disgust. "I...I haven't had that surgery yet." I can't stop my tears from running down my face. "I'm sorry." I heard his arm drop from the wall beside me. I can't bear to look at him. I can't.
"Adam..."
I suddenly shoved past him and ran out of my apartment. It was already dark outside. I have no idea where I'm going, but I can't face him right now.
"I'm such a coward." I run as fast as I can, feeling my tears fall behind me. It was thankfully late enough that not many people were on the sidewalks.
I stopped to catch my breath after a while. I have no idea how long I was running and I left my phone at home. Where am I? I looked around and saw a park up the road.
Wilston's Park? I ran longer than I thought.
I walked this time in the park gates and to the swing set there for the kids who play after school. Technically, the park closed at sundown, but no one ever came by to enforce the rule.
"Hey, Shun. Would you ever do it with a woman?"
"Why would I?" He laughed. "I've never felt anything for a woman before. Besides, that's kind of gross isn't it?"
"Oh, yeah definitely." I laughed back, ignoring the twinge in my chest.
I wiped my eyes on the sleeve of my shirt. The moon was full and illuminated the empty playground. I should have brought my phone, then i could at least listen to music.
Winston's Park was never really a popular place to go to because it was in such a secluded area on the edge of town. But that's the reason I loved it so much. I could come here at any time of day and not be bothered by people. I could sit on the swing or in the tunnel and read my book.
I looked up at the moon and started swinging. The chains creaked in the wind and I flung my head back with my eyes closed.
"You used to say you felt like you were flying when you did that." His voice startled me and I almost fell off the swing. I sat up and stopped, but I must have done it too fast because my vision blurred and I suddenly felt dizzy.
"Are you okay?" Shun had run over here and caught me as I stumbled. I pushed him away, but not forcefully. I don't want to be hurt more than I already am.
"I'm fine." I turned away from him and rubbed my face more. I don't want him to see me cry. He grabbed my sleeve and pulled me back to face him. We stood there quietly.
"How did you find me?"
"It's obvious you'd come here." He looked towards the swings. "Want me to push you?" I let him pull me towards the swing I was on before. He gently pushed me back and forth as he spoke.
"You told me all of the time about this place. So much that I would come here sometimes at night when I couldn't sleep."
"Why are you here, Shun?" I stop the swing. He walked around in front of me and kneeled. "I already told you. I'm disgusting, aren't I? I lied to you. I'm gro-"
He cut me off with a kiss. His hand firmly held the back of my head. My eyes went wide with shock. His eyes were open and staring into mine. His lips were so soft. Firm but gentle. He broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against mine.
"You're so annoyingly stubborn. You didn't even let me reply." He sat back and stood up smiling at me. "Come on, let's go home."
He always referred to my house as our home. I never complained. He was always over here anyway, morning or night. He would just show up. This time, it somehow felt different.
He shut and locked the door behind us as he turned to me. I nervously stood in my living room and picked at my nails, a habit I could never break. He placed his hand over mine to stop it.
"Why did you run from me again?"
"Because I couldn't watch you come to hate me."
"Why would I hate you?" He stepped closer to me and laced his fingers with mine. "Because you're transgender?" I flinched at the word.
"You said it was disgusting. That...that was disgusting. Women's bodies...and I..."
"I don't care about that." He looked into my eyes as he stepped closer to me. I unconsciously stepped back as he stepped forward until I backed into the same wall that started all of this.
"You have been and will always be Adam to me. Whatever body you have, is your body. And I love your body. I love you, Adam." Tears welled in my eyes. "My only concern is how you feel about me." I suddenly pulled him into a kiss.
"I love you Shun." He smiled and pulled me into another kiss.
"I'm so happy." A smile illuminated his face and made my heart skip a beat.
"Me too." I said against his lips. Now, this will be our home.

Author's Note:
So I haven't posted or updated any stories in awhile but I'm slowly working on that lol
This short story came from one of my *vauge hand gusture* insecurities I guess you could say about being a transgender man.
Sometimes I feel that gay men won't find me attractive because I'm biologically female. The same goes for straight women. Sometimes I feel kind of stuck in a void of not really belonging anywhere if that makes sense?
Anyways this most likely wont be the last of Adam and Shun. There will be other bits and pieces of their life that I want to write about. Specifically trans issues I've personally experienced or a friend has experienced. I hope you enjoy! If you did please leave a like and if you have any suggestions for a short LGBTQ story leave a comment! I love you guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!
