Electric Transitions

1: One Secret Uncovered...

I sat alone at my desk busy doing homework while my new dorm-mate, Hitoshi Shinsō, was on his phone. I met Hitoshi at the sports festival and had developed a small crush ever since. I know that he will never like me, mainly because of my secret and I'll never let him find out about it.

"Hey, uh, I'm going to get some food okay?" I stated as I stood up. As Hitoshi nodded slightly and rolled over in his bed I proceeded to walk out of the door and into the deserted hallway.

However I wasn't going to the cafe. I had to stop by the school bathroom, to make sure that I gave myself the daily pain that the voices in my head desire. I slipped in and revealed the razor I carry everywhere. Swiftly, I ripped open my skin with it and washed it before putting it away. I bandaged my arms and pulled my long sleeves over them.

"Hitoshi I'm back! And I brought my favourite, hamburgers!" I nearly sang as I entered the room. Hitoshi walked out of our bathroom holding onto to something. I dropped everything when I realized what he was holding. My heart sank when he looked up at me confused.

"Denki? Why do you have this?"

"Ah! No! Please put those away and don't tell a soul!"

"Denki, are you...?"

"Yes. I am Transgender." I replied before he could finish his sentence. Hitoshi sleepily nodded and left to return my shots and spare binder to the bathroom. I picked up the bag that had fallen on the floor and took a seat on my bed. I allowed tears to fall down my face. I couldn't believe that Hitoshi had discovered my secret. Hitoshi returned and sat down next to me. He gave me an expecting look.

"My name is Danika Kaminari. I am Transgender and my parents are ashamed of me. The school knows about my circumstance, and my best friend Kirishima. I didn't want you to find out. Please, don't call me Kaminari or Danika. My name is Denki. Please respect that."

Hitoshi's face revealed udder shock. I had a feeling he would be weirded out by all of that. He hugged me. It was surprising, and I cried even more. Why was he being so kind? Why hadn't he punched me and kicked me already just like all the others have done?

"Hitoshi what are you doing?" I stuttered through wet tears. He was still holding onto me. Embracing me. He felt nice though, like he really cared for me. I couldn't believe it. Nobody had done this for me, not even Kiri! Kirishima gave me a thumbs up and smiled, he didn't know how to comfort me and my tears.

"I'm going to hold you here until you stop crying. No matter how long that takes." He said and as his embrace grew tighter, I could feel the hard tears falling and lacing my cheeks becoming soft. Slowly I drifted into a deep sleep, in the comfort of Hitoshi's arms.

"Good morning world.." I mumbled without daring to open my eyes. I wanted to wake up but it was hard with this extremely comfortable, heated pillow? I slowly opened my eyes and shot out of bed once I realized what I had slept on last night. Hitoshi was laying down flat while I was pretty much completely on top of him.

I was blushing madly but extremely glad that he hadn't woke up yet. But, I wondered how he got there. Then the memories of last night came flooding into my brain like a wave in the ocean. I ran into the bathroom, ready to punish myself for being so ignorant and stupid.

"Stupid! Brat! I should just die!" I said to myself quietly while looking in the mirror. I took out my razor and dealt with my wrists. I dragged it across my arms slowly, ripping open skin and watching the crimson red blood trickle down to the bathroom counter. I heard Hitoshi stir in bed, so I rushed to clean everything and cover up my evidence.

"Good morning." Hitoshi said groggily as he wandered into the bathroom. I smiled and hugged him tightly. I would often use this act around people. It was more useful then admitting to cutting my arms, being transgender and talking about my transphobic parents. Hitoshi left the room.

"Wait up!" I called out as I ran to catch up with him. He was walking to the common room where everyone else in our class was. We probably woke up later than expected if Mina was awake, she's always awake until three am or so. I was happy that I fell asleep with my binder on. If I had taken it off and rushed to the bathroom then I had a chance of forgetting it.

"Come on slow poke." Hitoshi laughed. I really loved his laugh. I smiled as we walked to the common room to get some breakfast. I had a feeling it was going to be an awful Sunday, but I ignored it. Once we reached the common room I got myself a bowl of cereal while Hitoshi made eggs.

"Hey bro! How's it going with the new roomie? Did he find out...?" Kiri asked me in a whispered tone. I looked down and nodded slowly. Kirishima places his hand on my shoulder with a sympathetic smile. Kirishima came out to me as gay before his own parents, so I told him the truth about my gender. He's always been really helpful and supportive.

If I hadn't had Kirishima, I would be worthless and probably dead. Hitoshi and I sat down at the small breakfast table along with Kirishima. I was praying that neither of them would start talking about how I was transgender. "So Shinsō, you're Denki's new roommate?" Kirishima said in a playful tone.

"Yes. I am." He responded.

"So you know about Denki's secret." Kirishima stated. I started to get nervous as Kirishima mentioned my secret. Just the memory of Hitoshi's face when he found out made me itch. And especially how he comforted me after, I didn't deserve that. At this point I must've looked extremely uncomfortable because Hitoshi proceeded to hold my hand under the table, it was warm and comforting.

"Yes. I know that Denki is transgender and I support him." Hitoshi said as he stood up and started to walk away, still holding my hand. It hurt so badly. I had made my cuts lower that morning and Hitoshi with his big hand was practically pressing the blood out of them. I was holding back screams of agony but I couldn't for much longer.

Once we entered the dorm room rushed to the bathroom. I rinsed away the blood from my wrists and re-bandaged them. I was shaking and practically trembling. No, I was trembling. I weakly walked towards my bed and sat down. My lungs were hurting because I had just started crying and I couldn't get enough air. Shinsō was more than surprised.

"Denki, what the actual hell?"
