It was a cold night, Sierra woke up in her boyfriend's arms, she softly untangled herself from him and looked for her phone, it was 4 am.
"Shit"
She stood up and quickly went to the bathroom, she turned on the light and sat on the toilet caressing her forehead, all this light made her head hurt, she stood up and saw herself in the mirror, she didn't liked looking at herself, it reminded her when she used to be a closeted guy, wondering when she was gonna make it. Looking like the woman she always was.
Now she wasn't that kid anymore, she was a demon hunter, that's her job, killing demons, getting the money, eating pizza, fucking with her demon boyfriend, repeat. It was a simple life and she loved it. She looked at herself one last time, analyzing her features. she looked like she always wanted and yet... somedays...
She realized she was overthinking and quickly washed her face and said "Stop Sierra, it's 4 am. You have to sleep" and left the bathroom. Softly she laid in her shared bed and felt Kazu shift next to her.
"Hey Hun" He sheepishly smiled, "Hey... Sorry if I woke you" "oh it's fine don't worry" he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer to his chest. "Are you alright? I heard you talking in there..."
Sierra's heart sank into her chest. "Yeah... I'm fine" He looked at her deeply "Sie, I know something's on your mind" he brushed her hair behind her ear. "Do you want to talk about it in the morning?"
She closed her eyes and buried herself in her lover's chest. "It's just... My dysphoria is strong today y'know..." Kazu became alarmed "Did anyone say anything to you?! I'll kill those motherfuckers!" "No no no! It's just... it's something silly..." she sighed deeply "it's just. After using the toilet I went to wash my hands and I looked at myself in the mirror and... Even though I look as I always wanted and I "pass" to other people... The reminder is still there you know..."
before she could say anything else he softly tilted her chin up, she stared at his yellow eyes…
"Sierra, I may not be human, I'll never understand your struggles completely but you are the bravest woman I know, you look super hot and you care about others so much… I'll always be by your side."
Sierra felt her face getting warmer, by the gods, it's been one year since they got together and he still made her blush like a teenager. "Kaz... Thank you..." She hugged him and he returned it "I know human brains sometimes fuck up and you guys start overthinking and all that shit but you have to remember you’ve always been a woman, don’t forget that.” he leaned and kissed her softly.
“Now let's get back to sleeping, when we wake up i’ll make you breakfast” Sierra closed her eyes “Yeah, I’d like that…”
