This is me


Chapter 2

Things had been going well for Alvin, He was starting to feel better about his Identity. That was mostly due to Simon's support. For the first time in forever, He was actually getting along with his brother. Alvin guessed he understood why he was acting like a total douche. It felt good to finally cease the arguing

Their new lack of conflict didn't go unnoticed, they'd both underestimated the youngest of their family. Alvin caught the odd glances that Theodore gave him and Simon at dinner and in the hall, it was kind of chilling. Had Theo found out Alvin's secret or was he thinking something worse of him. Both of those options made Alvin nervous. He thought that maybe either he or Simon should talk to the green clad munk

He knew just when to do it to. Dave was working late and It would just be the three of them.

Alvin discussed his plan with Simon that afternoon and they agreed to talk to him at dinner. Theodore would never run from a meal, they knew that very well.

With evening quickly rolling around, the three boys prepared for dinner, which was a delicious spaghetti and mushroom sauce. Theo had really outdone himself as usual

"It looks great Theo" Alvin said with his usual cavalier attitude, so as to be able to catch Theo off guard

As Theo began tucking into his food, the two boys pushed away their plates, drawing their younger sibling's attention. They both looked at the rotund chipmunk, as if trying to gauge his reaction

"We need to talk Theo" Alvin said quietly, in an almost serious manner

"What's wrong Alvin?" The younger chipmunk asked, his mouth half stuffed with food

"We noticed that you've been giving both of us odd looks, we want to know why" Alvin said, drawing his brother's attention

"Well...Uh… you guys stopped fighting and started actually getting on. So I thought…" Theo stopped mid-sentence, frustrating Alvin to no end

"Thought what Theo" Alvin asked curiously

"Is something going on between you two because if there is it needs to stop. It's just wrong, sick even" Theodore had now abandoned his fork, biting his lower lip

"What do you mean Theodore?" Simon asked, quickly being overshadowed by Alvin

"Yeah what does you mean Theodore" Alvin said through clenched teeth

"What you're doing goes against nature, I mean you're brothers" Theodore replied

Simon caught what he meant quickly, turning a shade of deep red. Alvin looked at his brother with confusion, tilting his head

"Do you think me and Alvin are together Theodore? In a romantic or sexual way" Simon said, making Alvin stare in horror.

"You aren't?" Theodore asked

"No, you've got it all wrong Theo" The eldest chipmunk replied quickly, waving his hands franticly

"Oh… Oh! I am so sorry you guys" It was Theodore's turn to turn red

"Its fine Theo, It's just a misunderstanding. A very odd one" Simon said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose

"Simon has been helping me with …" Simon quickly cut Alvin off before he could finish his sentence

"You don't have to tell him Al" Simon said hastily

"No he has a right to know Simon" Alvin said before turning to Theo "Theo this is hard for me to tell you so please keep an open mind"

"Ok Alvin" Theodore said, scepticism heavy in his voice

"It's...well...I'm..." Alvin sighed, this was harder than he thought.

He opened his mouth again when an idea struck.

"Theo, this is really hard to explain, so maybe it was just be easier if I showed you." he said, a slight blush coming to his cheeks as he got up and left the table.

A few minutes passed for the brothers, silently waiting for Alvin to return. It wasn't until Alvin return did either of them speak. When the oldest of the tri returned both looked at him with a stunned expression

"A…A…Alvin?" Theo stuttered, his eyes wide in shock

Simon was speechless, he'd only seen Alvin like this in the low light of the treehouse. He had never got a good look and now that he had, he saw his brother/sister in a whole new light. Alvin looked stunning in the red knee length sundress, the long hair he'd always hidden beneath his cap now flowing down to his shoulders

"Y…Yeah, It's me Theo" Alvin said, blushing a bright red

"Wow, you look amazing" Simon said, coming out of his stunned stupor

"I agree" Theodore added

"Thanks guys, I guess I was afraid you'd hate me for being Transgender" Alvin said

"For being Transgender, of course not Alvin" Theo says, laying a comforting hand on Alvin's shoulder as he sat down at the table "I'm actually a huge supporter for LGBT rights and some of my friends are actually gay"

Alvin smiled at his youngest brother, pulling him into a massive hug. To say he was relieved would be an understatement. He was so happy that his brothers loved him no matter if he wanted to be a guy or a girl

"So…What's you're girl name then?" Theodore asked

"Charlie, my name will be Charlie

"Would you prefer we call you Charlie or Alvin?"

"Call me Alvin until I come out to Dave"

"Ok Alvin" Simon and Theodore said together

"Thank you guys for being so supportive of me" Alvin said, tears forming in his eyes

"It's no problem Alvin" Simon stated

"Yeah you're our brother and we'll love you no matter what" Theodore

After an almost awkwardly long group hug, the trio sat down to finish their meals and Alvin was comforted in the fact that his brothers would stand by his side through this. They are truly the perfect family to have
