Prompt cause insomnia has me, pixel comes out to Robbie as a trans male. (Saw a picture of trans pixel and I got the idea lol) good night or morning!
Hope you can get some sleep soon, friend <3
I will not taking new prompts until August 1st.
For a few months now, Robbie had allowed Pixel to join himin the lair to work on inventions. At first it was at Sportaflops’ insistence;Pixel had hurt himself messing around with machines alone in his room toooften. With Robbie supervising him in the bunker, Pixel would be safer.
It was surprising how quickly Robbie became used to having him around. Theteen came by at least once a day to work or talk to Robbie about ideas. It wasnice to have an assistant (or, in some cases, to be an assistant).
Today, Pixel was oddly quiet. He typed on his wrist computer and barelylooked up at Robbie. Robbie should probably be grateful that the lair wassilent for once but mostly he was worried.
Before he could ask, Pixel shut down his computer and stoodup. “Robbie?”
“I probably should have told you earlier, since you’re here to make sureI’m safe and this may have come up in an emergency,” Pixel put his hands on hiships and lifted his chin, “I’m trans.”
“You’re… trans?” He repeated slowly.
“Yup!” Pixel smiled, “Sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. Not manypeople know.”
“Are you, um, that is, you’re…” Robbie couldn’t think of a better way tophrase his question so he just blurted out, “Which way?”
It was Pixel’s turn to blink. His smile slipped, “Which way?”
“I mean, is this you telling me you want me to start referring to you as agirl or did you, I don’t know, start that way?”
Confusion tilted Pixel’s head as he unraveled what Robbie was trying toask. “Oh!” he perked up, “Oh! Sorry, I should have been clearer. I’ma trans man. So you can keep using he/him pronouns. I just wanted you to knowin case there was ever a medical emergency down here. Didn’t want you to besurprised by anything.”
“I-I understand.” Robbie covered his face with his hands, embarrassed.There were probably a thousand better ways he could have phrased that question.
“Does it… bother you?” Pixel asked in a small voice. For the first timesince he had started coming down here, Pixel looked a little afraid of Robbie.
“No! No, kid, not at all,” Robbie said quickly, “I’m just sorry Iasked such a weird question.”
The smile was back, “It’s okay. You reacted better than Sportacusdid. He stuttered for a full minute after I told him.”
Robbie let out a laugh, instantly feeling better about himself. “Let’stake a break,” he said, walking towards the kitchen, “We’ll have some cakeand you can tell me more about how I’m better than Sportakook.”
