   Summary

   “There’s no point,” Eddie whispered. “You’re going to find out anyway.”

   Steve’s breath caught.

   Eddie squeezed his eyes shut.

   “Just-” His voice shook violently. “Just don’t look at me like I’m not who you thought I was.”

   Steve didn’t answer right away.

   When he did, his voice was steady. “I promise.”

   Eddie nodded once. That was all the permission he had left to give.

   //

   When Eddie is abruptly cut off from hormone therapy, his body begins to betray him in ways he thought were long behind him. When his period returns at Steve’s house, the secret he’s been protecting for years finally comes apart - and Eddie is forced to trust Steve with the most vulnerable parts of himself.
