Chapter 1: Doubt

Yaku looked around the mall aisle suspiciously, making sure no one saw him. He quickly ducked into the changing rooms, hiding his face from everyone else in the room.

As soon as he got in a stall, he shut the door behind him as quickly as possible, letting out a deep breath after doing so.

Yaku looked at himself in the mirror inside the small dressing stall. He frowned and put his hands on his hips, putting his face closer to the mirror. "Am I really happy being seen as a guy?" he muttered aloud, quickly turning away from his reflection, and taking off his shirt. He looked at the dress he was holding. Did he think that what he was doing was ridiculous? Yes, he did. But he wanted to know how he would when he identified himself as a 'she' instead of a 'he'.

Of course, this would mean he wouldn't be able to play in the boys volleyball team anymore, which probably explained why he was so hesitant about this. Or maybe it was just internalized transphobia? He didn't really know, and neither did he understand.

Yaku shrugged off the feeling of uneasiness and put on the dress, turning to see his reflection in the mirror. The moment he saw his lighted up face, his face fell again. He rubbed his eyes, muttering to himself about how wrong and idiotic the thing he was doing was. Why did he think this was a good idea in the first place? He'll only confuse himself even more.

He undressed as fast as he could, and changed back into his regular clothing. He smoothed out his shirt and looked at his reflection once again. "Maybe I can ask Kuroo for help..." Yaku thought aloud, looking up at the yellowish white ceiling. "But he would laugh, wouldn't he? He'd knock some sense into my head."

Yaku put the dress back onto the hanger, opening the stall's door. He looked around for the aisle with the nice lady he got the dress from- but then he saw him.
