TW for deadname use & misgendering
Y/N was on the couch talking with their cousin, Sarah, when it happened. They didn't notice him step into the room. They didn't watch his eyes light up when he recognized them. They didn't see him start towards them from across the room.
"Olivia" he called.
They didn't process it at first. No one had called them that in ages.
"Olivia" he said, louder. People around them went silent. That's when Y/N noticed him.
"Spencer"
"Hello, Olivia"
They swallowed nervously. "We need to talk, alone" they told him, apologizing to Sarah and leading Spencer to the kitchen.
"Olivia I've mis-"
"That's not my name anymore" they pushed out. God this was harder than coming out to their parents. "I'm Y/N now. My pronouns are they/them. I'm nonbinary"
Spencer stared at them, flabbergasted. Y/N swollowed nervously.
"I'm going to rejoin the party" they announced, and walked away. Spencer still didn't say anything.
