Turning Point

Summary:

Phionna Valero says goodbye to that name and identity with the discovery of something new, something entirely *his*.

Notes:

This drabble's parent story is "No Sense of Direction!"

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Snip.

One tuft of hair fell to the floor.

Snip. Snip. Snip.

Several others joined, scattering at my feet in a haphazard cluster. I stared at myself in the mirror, hair cut erratically in my daze. Disgusting — I love it.

I didn’t care in the moment if it looked ugly. It was short, and it was mine .

I didn’t have, and still don’t have, anything left to lose.

Mom and Dad already don’t approve of me. Juliana — she abandoned me.

All I’ve got left to fight for now is myself.

I met my own gaze. “My name is Florian Valero.”

Notes:

Day 4! I'm sorry these are being posted so late. I got called into work unexpectedly, and it really tuckered me out. I did it, though! I hope you enjoy Florian's trans realization. I know the hints may not have been super well hidden, and I wish I could have revealed this in a grander story, but a girl's got no motivation to write anything longer than a few hundred words, so you know how it be. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you tomorrow!
