"Xeminine?" Jotaro looked up from the table at a familiar redheaded boy, watching em flush nervously.
"Y-Yeah, it means I like to present femininely and xenininly." Kakyoin twirled an anxious finger through eir hair.
"Xenininely." Jotaro said after slurping up some of his ramen.
"I know it's weird, but it's just how I identify! I, er, have a list." Kakyoin slid eir phone to Jotaro, tapping eir fingers against the table. Jotaro picked it up and scrolled with his thumb.
"Cherriani. What does that mean?" Jotaro looked up, seeming more inquisitive than anything else, making Kakyoin sigh with relief.
"It means my gender is like, uh, cherries, in a way." Ey mumbled, embarrassed. Jotaro paused for a moment before putting down the phone.
"Cool." He continued to eat, Kakyoin grabbing back eir phone.
"I mean, I know you're pretty much a guy, but have you ever thought about your gender?" Kakyoin asked.
"Not really. I'm fine with being called a man."
"But are you?"
"Yeah. Kind of." Kakyoin raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean kind of?"
"More so that I don't really care. Is there a term for that?"
"Oh, yeah there is! Genderapathetic." Kakyoin's eyes glistened. "Sorry if I seem pushy, I just really like this stuff."
"It's fine." Jotaro slurped up the last of his ramen and stood up to put the bowl in the sink. "You're happy, so."
Kakyoin realized that ey had hardly touched eir ramen in eir excitement to tell Jotaro eir genders, so ey quickly wolfed the rest of eir ramen down.

Jotaro rolled over in bed, facing Kakyoin as ey browsed on eir phone. Kakyoin noticed, looking over to him.
"What's up?" Jotaro blushed slightly at eir attention, but quickly turned his face slightly to hide it.
"Those words."
"Yeees?" Kakyoin began to smile slightly.
"Is there one for when your, you know, it feels like the ocean?"
"There's a lot of those. Anything more specific?" Jotaro thought for a moment.
"Empty."
"That sounds like Gendersea. Want to see the flag?" Jotaro nodded, and Kakyoin quickly pulled it up. Ey showed him the flag, making him squint at the brightness in their dark room.
"I like it. Just maybe don't tell anyone else about it." Kakyoin giggled at his statement. Ey placed a gentle kiss on Jotaro's forehead.
"I promise I won't tell a soul."
