You and Roxy have been dating for about a year now.
Roxy has been a man for three months, and you have been a girl for one.
That's not to mean you just flipped a switch- Roxy's always felt wrong in his body, and it took you ages to even consider changing your name, but you are different to when you first got together.
The most obvious thing is that you and Roxy are now much happier.
The second most obvious thing is that it all suddenly feels weird.
ROXY: heyyy ;p
JUNE: hey, roxy.
Speaking of the man himself, he is now coming through your front door for an impromptu visit, which is always fine.
But now you'll probably do couple-ly things.
Roxy stands by the counter as you finish with the dishes, and once you finish, he's pounced.
ROXY: hey juney!!
ROXY: u wake up n e earlier than usual??
You stifle a little laugh at that, one which you know he can feel as he presses his chest against your back.
JUNE: i was actually able to get up at nine today.
JUNE: hope you're proud of me!
ROXY: oh u BET i am!!!
ROXY: cmere!!
He's kissing all over you, and you manage to shuffle the two of you into the lounge room before continuing.
You feel his touch all over you, and as you return a kiss-
You feel something.
JUNE: roxy? is that stubble?
ROXY: i fuckin KNOW rite??
ROXY: i look fucking awesummm
You stare at him, and it seems like every day he looks manlier- which like, yeah. That's why he's on T.
JUNE: do you think you'll grow it out?
ROXY: hmmm
He puts a finger on his chin in faux ponderence, and continues with the humming noise.
ROXY: wait some mad pondering happening here
JUNE: waiting patiently.
It takes a moment, but he eventually makes an 'aha!' sound and looks up at you.
ROXY: hear me out: fucking WIZARD BEARD!!!
JUNE: if you wanna! if it makes you happy i'm in your corner.
ROXY: oh juney! ur always so considerate!
ROXY: fucking SWOON!!!
ROXY: <3
You smile at him, and nuzzle at his face.
He shrieks with laughter and falls back onto the couch, his hair a mess.
You look onto the mess of a boy on you couch, and you feel...
How do you feel?
JUNE: hey, can i ask a weird question?
He looks up at you and nods an affermative.
JUNE: is...
JUNE: is being into me now different than being into me back then?
JUNE: like, was it easier to be into me when i thought i was a dude?
He looks around for a moment, clearly trying to get his thoughts in order.
ROXY: honestly????
ROXY: its like
ROXY: its different but only bc ur so much happier now!!
ROXY: idk ive been into chicks and dudes
ROXY: and it doesnt feel 2 different
ROXY: but thats just my thing
ROXY: why??
JUNE: i don't know.
JUNE: doesn't it feel weird, though?
JUNE: like it was easier back then?
JUNE: i don't know.
He pauses, and now he's sitting up.
ROXY: june r u tryna break up w me???
huh????
JUNE: huh???
Suddenly the whole area has gotten very, very awkward.
ROXY: ...
JUNE: ...
Without a word, he gets up, and leaves you in an empty house.
What the fuckkkkkkkk
ectoBiologist [EB] began pestering tentacleTherapist [TT]!
EB: rose rose i think i fucked up.
EB: fucking help!
TT: I'm a bit busy with Roxy right now.
Fuck!
ectoBiologist [EB] began pestering arachnidsGrip [AG]!
EB: vriskaaaaaaaa!
EB: i fucked up!
AG: What's wrong June?
AG: Did you 8ite off more than you could chew as usual?
AG: Will I have to do a regular Serket rescue?
EB: fucking.
EB: maybe???
You tell her anything and everything about that night, and you can almost feel the judgement your panic is gathering.
AG: June, I think you're just a les8ian.
AG: I mean that's really the only thing that fits!
EB: okay, maybe.
EB: but am i supposed to break up with roxy over it?
AG: Well, yeah! That's how these things go.
EB: but how would i phrase it to him?
EB: "oh yeah, sorry roxy you just aren't hot anymore now that you actually enjoy being in your body"!?
AG: Well is he not hot anymore?
...
You're not sure.
EB: well, it's not like he's suddenly ugly, i just.
AG: Don't wanna make out?
EB: yeah!
AG: Then, you should 8r8k up with him!
AG: Trust me, staying with someone after you lose feelings is the worst way to deal with change!
AG: Yeah, it'll suck reaaaaaaaal 8ad, 8ut then you won't feel like shit anymore!
EB: i guess.
AG: Just talk to him, June.
AG: That's the part everyone worries a8out, 8ut I know you got guts :::;)
...
Okay, fine! You'll talk to him.
You think about pestering him, but decide on talking face to face. It's the least he deserves.
JUNE: hey, roxy.
ROXY: oh HOLY SHIT!!
You windy thing'd right into his living room, where you can see Roxy...
He looks like a mess. Has he been crying?
JUNE: um... hi?
ROXY: hi???
Okay, here goes nothing.
JUNE: okay, roxy? i think...
JUNE: that i might be a homosexual. as in i like girls.
JUNE: sorry.
A very long pause ensues, and you feel a brief bout of deja-vu at it all.
ROXY: ...ohhh
ROXY: o yeah that makes
ROXY: way more sense than u just breakin up w me 4 no reason
ROXY: still sucks tho
JUNE: i wasn't trying to break up with you back there!
JUNE: i'm trying to break up with you *here*!
ROXY: o
ROXY: well kinda fumbled the ball on that 1
JUNE: i knowwwww.
ROXY: ok ok just
ROXY: lets talk
You talk, and he talks.
You windy thing back home freshly single, and end up getting drunk off your ass and watching shitty movies until you pass out. It's weird, breaking up like this.
You liked him so much back then, but you aren't upset that it's over- both of you were deep in the closet, and once you left, you ended up being a lesbian anyways! It sucks, but not in the sense that you want to back to how it was before. But you still miss before, if that makes any sense.
You end up in a slump for a while, all bad feelings and confused emotions. It takes seeing Roxy and Calliope happy together to make you realise that breaking up with him wasn't the shittiest thing a gal could ever do. Who'da thunk.
After a Nic Cage drinking game with Terezi and Vriska, you end up with an insanely annoying spade and amazingly stubborn heart, and you'd never give them up for the world.
You and Roxy are still friends. He even comes over for impromptu visits! It's just that now you don't have to do couple-ly things.
You're happy with this, and he is as well.
