'Hey, want to come over?'
You smiled when you got the text before immediately texting back.
'OF COURSE :) See you soon!'
The moment your friend opened up his door, you knew something was up just from the smile he offered- it wasn't as vibrant as usual, a bit wobbly and shy. Deciding to wait to ask, you entered and pulled him into a quick hug before you let him sit you down on the sofa.
"So um, hey! Want something to drink?" He asked, bolting up out of his chair before you even opened your mouth.
More concerned now, you blurted, "What's wrong?"
Maybe it was the loving concern in your voice, or maybe it was the singular fact you knew your friend understood powerfully then just how much you knew him, but in that moment he sat back down beside you, eyes to the floor. You took his hand gently, a questioning gesture, and felt your heart surge as he all but squeezed it for dear life.
"What's up?" You inquired gently.
Your friend took a deep breath. "You love me, right?"
"Of course I do." You replied instantly. "What's the-"
Stunned by the abruptness, you didn't answer right away but when you felt your friend's hand loosen and try to slip out of your own you swiftly seized it and gave it a loving squeeze.
"Okay," you blinked, realising how awfully unsupportive you sounded before quickly adding, "hey, that's wonderful! Really! Look at me."
Your friend looked up at you, eyes wide and shining. "Really?"
You grinned. "Really! I was just shocked is all, but yes absolutely! It doesn't matter to me what you are because you're always going to be my friend first, okay? So what do you identify as now? What are your new pronouns?"
You friend looked at you dazedly, clearly just relieved by how much you obviously cared. "A, um, a woman! I identify as a woman now so um, she/her." She replied, her lips stretching into one of those signature smiles you could pick out in a crowd as easily as a bee could pick out a real flower from a sea of imitations.
You weren't sure if she would physically transition or not but that didn't matter- it was her body, her decision- you were just glad to know she trusted you with this news and most importantly, you knew those eyes, that smile, her kindness, her humor- those would always be the same. She was still your best friend and you couldn't be more proud of her. You leaned over and wrapped her up in a hug, heart clenching as you felt her melt in your embrace as if she understood each and every thought you had.
"Wonderful," you repeated, squeezing her gently. "I'm so happy for you!" When you pulled away you could see all the relief and happiness shining in her eyes and knew that you'd do anything to keep her looking like that.
"Thank you," she said, love laced in every syllable. "I wanted you to be the first to know."
Oh, but goodness that made you feel just as brilliant as those bright green glow stickers you two had bought one year to decorate each other's rooms. "I'll be there if and when you decide to tell anyone else," you offered, knowing you'd be ready to drop everything whenever you could to make sure she didn't have to come out alone.
Once more she took your hand and squeezed it gratefully. "You promise?"
"I promise." You squeezed her hand back. "Say, have you picked out a name yet?"
Her eyes lit up once more. "I've soooo many," she admitted laughingly, leaning back against the sofa to shoot you a sheepish, hopeful smile. "I was hoping you'd help me narrow it down?"
You leaned back too, grinning. "I'm all ears."
