"Sakuya? What are you... doing?"
Sakuya jumped at the sudden voice. Like, physically jumped and dropped his phone. That was how badly he had been startled.
"Woah! Hey!"
Keiichiro was startled by the giant reaction. He entered the room fully and made sure the door was firmly shut and locked. No one else needed to see this and possibly scare Sakuya worse.
Sakuya was frozen solid, staring down at the floor. Keiichiro hesitantly walked closer.
"So uh... why are you in a dress?" He asked hesitantly.
Sakuya had been trying on a dress when Keiichiro had suddenly walked in and scared the daylights out of him. Sakuya took in a few deep breaths, but didn't say anything. Keiichiro frowned at the lack of answer.
"It looks good on you." Keiichiro commented.
Sakuya quickly looked up and stared at Keiichiro with wide eyes. He wasn't expecting anything nice being said. This was weird. He understood that.
"So, what's the special occasion?" Keiichiro questioned again, inviting himself into a seat nearby.
Sakuya looked back down at the ground. How did he even try to explain why the hell he had put on a dress? Was it even worth it?
"I... maybe I don't want to be a guy anymore." Sakuya mumbled.
"Oh?" Keiichiro's eyes widened at the information. "So... is this you... figuring things out?"
"Maybe..."
"You want to be a girl?"
"I... I think so." Sakuya nodded hesitantly. This wasn't something he... she had exactly anticipated having to talk about yet. She should've been more careful about being seen like this. At least Keiichiro was taking it well. That made this easier to do.
"That's fine." Keiichiro stated. "Can I do anything to help you?"
Sakuya stared at him for a long time. "I... why are you being so nice about this, senpai?"
She had to ask. Why didn't Keiichiro even question anything? Why was he just helping her? She had expected to have to defend herself to some degree. To explain why she suddenly felt this way.
Keiichiro shrugged. "Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know..." Sakuya mumbled. "I just... expected something... sorry, I wasn't prepared for any of this..."
"I apologize for walking in without warning." Keiichiro apologized.
"It... it's fine."
"Is there anything I can do for you then?"
Sakuya took in a deep breath before she replied. "Well... I... I'd have to come out to more people if I want to... get to look how I wanted."
"How do I help with that?"
"Just... be there when I do it?"
Keiichiro nodded. "Is there anything else? Do you want me to refer to you differently?"
"Not until I come out to everyone else." Sakuya shook her head.
"Right. After that though, what would you want changed?"
Sakuya pondered her response for a while. "Well... probably pronouns. I'd like to be referred to with she/her. I don't know about a new name yet. I haven't really looked into any yet."
Keiichiro nodded. "Just let me know then. Do you... want me to leave then?"
Sakuya nodded. "I... I'll be out in a few minutes."
"Take your time."
