Adam waited for Fiona by her locker after school, wanting to talk about tonight. He needed to know what she expected and see if she understood that he wasn't comfortable with his body. He knew Fiona was okay with him being Transgender, but that didn't mean he was.
Adam's head moved up when he heard the heels of Fiona's shoes clicking, getting closer. He had come to know how her shoes sounded when they had walked into school together, they were pretty loud, but it didn't bother him, he loved everything about her.
"Hey Adam." Fiona smiled as she started to unlock her locker.
"Hey Fi, so about tonight."
"You can still come over right?" Fiona looked worried.
"Yeah I can, but I was just wondering if you were okay if we went slowly, like really slow?"
"Yeah, I told you I was okay with it."
"Right, but like we're going to have to stop at a certain point for a long time."
"What do you mean?"
"Fiona, I'm just not fully comfortable with my body and I don't want do anything too physical until I am."
"So like where would we stop?"
"I think making-out is as far as I want to go."
"Um, okay I guess that's alright." Fiona said, not really excited about that.
"Really?" Adam asked, shocked, believing she was serious.
"Yeah, whatever makes you feel comfortable." Fiona rubbed his cheek before kissing his lips softly and walking out hand in hand.

"So, you're on your way?" Fiona asked Adam over the phone.
"Yep, I'm two blocks away."
"So, how are you going to sneak back home later?"
"Actually I couldn't get out unless I told my mom I was staying over at Eli's, so I guess I'm staying over. Is that alright?"
"Yeah, that's perfect. Last night was pretty rough, being alone and all."
"Well, I could stay over tomorrow too if you want?"
"No, just tonight. Being alone is something I had to deal with last time and I can do it again. I just really missed you." Fiona said, smiling once she heard a knocking on the door.
She closed the phone and went to open it up. As soon as the door was opened Adam pulled her close and kissed her passionately. Fiona smiled into the kiss and ran her fingers through his hair, before they pulled apart.
"I missed you too." Adam smiled, brushing a piece of hair behind Fiona's ear.

Fiona and Adam had watched a few T.V. shows, movies, and just talked for a long time. Now they were both tired and wanted to go to bed. Fiona was happy Adam would be with her and Adam was comfortable because Fiona agreed to go at his pace.
She got in bed first and waited for Adam to join her. He was going to the bathroom and said he'd be with her soon. She layed on the side, smiling as the bathroom door opened and Adam could be heard walking closer. He came in and smiled at her before moving under the covers and lying on his back. Fiona wiggled closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. Adam smiled lightly down at her, brushing a few pieces of hair behind her ear.
"Good night Fi."
"Good night." She pecked his cheek and started to fall asleep, but something was bothering her. "Hey, Adam?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure we couldn't go further than making-out. I mean we practically do that already, and I would really like some other things to look forward to."
"Fiona, I just don't feel comfortable with taking my clothes off."
"Well, I don't mind. It shouldn't feel bad in front of me."
"That's not it! I hate my body!" Adam sat up.
"But I can show you how perfect it is." Fiona said innocently.
"But it's not perfect; it's disgusting and all wrong!" Adam stood up.
"Adam, where are you going?!"
"I don't want to talk about this!" he shouted picking up his day clothes.
"No, Adam, please stay. I'll stop." Fiona begged, tears beginning in her eyes.
"You swear?" he looked at her seriously.
Fiona nodded and relaxed when Adam walked back over. This time when they layed down Adam kept his distance and Fiona gave him the space. They fell asleep away from each other.

The next morning was awkward and Adam didn't stay long, he left early. Fiona felt so bad for what happened last night. It was supposed to be perfect. They would talk, watch some T.V., and cuddle up together till they went to sleep. But it all turned to crap when she wanted to talk about the future of their relationship. He had to understand that Fiona would want to become closer to him and want to be as intimate as she good with him. Hopefully things would get better and they would make it through this.

"She said she was okay with taking it slow." Adam whispered, staring into his cup of coffee.
"Adam you can't be upset with her for wanting to be physical with you." Eli told, frowning.
"I don't know what she wants me to do, to say!"
"Well, you can't just threaten to leave her every time she wants to talk about this."
"Well, what else should I do?"
"Listen to her; find some way to make her happy without making you uncomfortable."
"I don't think I can do that."
"In relationships you have to adjust and work with your partner to make things better for the both of you."
"What if I can't?"
"You'll never know until you try." Eli shrugged, getting up to head to Degrassi.
Adam sat there thinking about how he could make this better. He finished up his drink after he decided he would do anything to make Fiona happy, even if he had to do some things he didn't want to. Fiona was the girl of his dreams and she meant everything to him.
Next chap will be good, I swear.
