Happy Wednesday from a hotel room, because I have a truly bonkers few weeks in terms of travel etc! But you know⊠have laptop, will write. In theory, anyway. For today's WIP Wednesday, have some more trans!Alex for one of my FTH offerings:
The more he talks, the more words come tumbling out of him, Henryâs soft sounds of acknowledgement enough to encourage him to keep going without interrupting his flow. He doesnât know how long heâs been bottling this up, and he has no idea why itâs coming out now, but heâs not sure that he could stop the tidal wave if he tried.
âAnd the thing is, I get it.â He grips his phone hard enough that he knows heâs risking cracking the screen again, barrelling forward before Henry can interrupt him with bullshit platitudes. âTheyâre both out there trying to fix the whole damn world to make it a little better for their trans son, but fuck, I miss being able to come home and having that be the one place I didnât have to deal with any bullshit, you know?â
The silence that follows is so absolute, Alex pulls the phone away from his ear to check that the call hasnât dropped.
âHenry?â
âIâm here.â Henryâs voice is cracked and hoarse, and he must realise it at the same time Alex does, because he clears his throat before speaking again. âAlex, I donâtâdid you mean to tell me that?â
âTell you whââ But the words are already replaying in his head, realisation slamming into him all at once. âOh, fuck.â
