A/N: Here you go! I plan on ending this in four more chapters. I have a perfect ending laid out, and every other chapter laid out. L'École means the school in French. I ran out of chapter names so yeah. I'm really sorry for updating so late. Not only have I been busy, but I've been trying to figure myself out. You know gender wise, sorry for the wait. Now enjoy!
Maddie fiddles with the hem of her towel as she looks at the clothing Felka picked out.
"Like pick one Maddie." Felka says after a long drawn out silence. Maddie lightly picks up a black A-line high-waisted skirt with a simple blue crop top. Felka smiles brightly as she pushes Maddie over to a chair to do her hair and makeup.
"Beautiful." Felka says when she finishes. "Get dress. I'll be like downstairs Maddie." With that Felka leaves Maddie to get ready for school.
Maddie quickly goes down the stairs with a wary smile on her face. Felka smiles up at her.
"You look so hot." Felka says with a bright smile. Maddie nods numbly and takes a seat in between Felka and her brother.
"Don't sweat it sis." Alfred says as he nibbles on a pancake. Maddie flashes a fake smile before stuffing pancakes into her mouth. Soon after Arthur comes downstairs and starts to make tea.
"You look beautiful sweetie." Arthur says when he notices Maddie's shaking mood. Right after Alfred finishes most of his food Francis pulls him aside.
"Watch out for Maddie, s'il tu plait." Francis whispers into Alfred's ear.
"No problem pops." Alfred replies with a smile. "No one will mess with Maddie if the hero is there."
"Also watch out for yourself mon petit amour." Francis says before give Alfred a hug and kissing his forehead. Alfred nods in response and accepts the loving gestures. After Maddie finishes her pancakes Arthur pulls her aside.
"Please keep an eye on Alfred." Arthur says to Maddie. Maddie smiles and nods in response.
"Oui, bien sûr." Maddie replies.
"Also stay close to friends. Coming out is hard, but it is worth it in the end." Arthurs says lightly smiling at Maddie then pulls her into a soft hug before kissing her cheek. Maddie smiles and hugs Arthur right back.
"Good bye. Have a lovely day." Arthur says out to Alfred, Maddie, and Felka as they walk up to the school. Maddie and Felka go over to their group of friends while Alfred goes to his.
"Hello Birdie." Gilbert says to Maddie before pulling her into a hug and kissing her cheek. Maddie blushes a light pink in response.
"Matvey?" Katyusha asks looking at Maddie. She didn't know about Maddie being transgender and felt very confused. Maddie lightly puts her head on Gilbert's chest and takes in a deep breath.
"Katyusha, I'm transgender." Maddie answers looking up at Katyusha. She blinks a few times before engulfing Maddie in a suffocating hug.
"Why did you not tell me earlier?" Katyusha wails to Maddie after she let goes of Maddie. Maddie smiles at Felka and she smiles back at her with her thumbs up. Soon after the quick coming out to Katyusha, Chuluun runs straight into Maddie.
"Another tranny." Chuluun sneers. "Just perfect." With that Chuluun walks off swaying her braids with each step.
The classes up to lunch were pretty much the same. In class she would tell the teacher her new name during attendance then people would whisper and soon everything calmed down, but in the halls it was a completely different story. Chuluun would take any chance to hurt Maddie physically or verbally, but at lunch things changed.
Maddie was scanning the lunch area for Alfred, but couldn't find him which freaked her out. Felka pats her back in a comforting manner.
"Don't worry. I think he's like with Ivan or something." Felka states knowingly to Maddie. Maddie nods and was about to sit down when Chuluun pushed her to the ground and dumps Maddie's lunch on Maddie.
"Vat is it!" Gilbert yells getting up to go do something to Chuluun.
"No Gilbert I got this." Felka says standing up slowly. Gilbert blows hot air through his nose and goes over to Maddie to help her up and comfort her.
"You fucking bitch." Felka starts loudly as she gets up in Chuluun's face. "I don't know who you think you are, but you tots aren't some kind of queen. You need to fuck off and leave us alone. I know your sis is trans and that hurt you and shit, but you need to fucking stop letting your anger out on me and Maddie. It's some tots B-S." Chuluun looks stunned for a few seconds before stomping off out of the lunch room. Everyone claps loudly for Felka, for no one has ever stood up to Chuluun. Felka blushes lightly at the first unnoticed attention. She quickly takes the half cleaned up Maddie to clean her up completely.
The walk home was quiet for Maddie, for Alfred was not there. She hasn't seen Alfred all day and it worried her greatly. When she gets home she sees Ivan and Alfred on the couch in a heated make out session.
"Get a room." Maddie says as she walks by to go upstairs. Alfred turns a bright red while Ivan laughs loudly.
Alfred's Day
Alfred slowly walks up to Ivan. Once Ivan noticed Alfred he runs up to him to engulf him into a hug.
"I missed you very much Sunflower." Ivan says while hugging Alfred. Alfred smiles and hugs Ivan back.
"Missed you too." Alfred replies. When the two pull apart from their hug Alfred notices all the whispers and stares he was getting.
"Isn't he the one who is bulimic?" One girl whispers to her friend.
"Yeah, but I thought he died." The friend of the first girl whispers back. Alfred heard all the whispers and felt he was about to have a panic attack. Ivan protectively puts a hand around Alfred's waist.
"It is okay. Take a deep breath." Ivan whispers into Alfred's ear. Alfred takes Ivan's advice and takes a few deep breaths. Soon the two go into the school hand in hand.
For Alfred classes were hell. The teachers would pull him aside too often to ask if he was okay. His classmates would constantly look at him and whisper about him, and on top of all of that he had only one class with Ivan which was at the end of the day.
During second block Geometry he was called down to the counselor, Mr. Väinämöinen. Alfred knocks on the counselor's door twice.
"Come in." Mr. Väinämöinen says through the door. Alfred slowly comes into the office and shuts the door behind him.
"Please sit Alfred." Mr. Väinämöinen says cheerily. Alfred plops down in the chair with a frown etched into his face.
"What Mr. Väinämöinen?" Alfred asks angrily. Mr. Väinämöinen was taken aback a bit, but snapped back quickly.
"You may call me Tino, and you are here because I want to make sure you aren't purging at school." Tino says with a solemn tone. Alfred was now fed up and ready to burst. Alfred throws the chair he was sitting on back and slams his hand on Tino's desk.
"I so fucking down with this bullshit! Every fucking teacher is asking me if I'm alright! I'm fucking fine!" Alfred yells at Tino.
"Alfred please calm down." Tino says calming as he calmly stands up.
"No I will not calm down! Everyone thinks I need a hero, but I am the hero! Hero out!" Alfred screams in response before running out of the office and slamming the door behind him. In his anger fit of running he ran into Ivan in the hallway. Ivan instinctively grabs Alfred and pulls him to a hug. Alfred lets silent angry tears roll down his face. He quickly wipes them away.
"Let's ditch." Alfred says with a forced smile. Ivan nods and the two ditch school.
Ivan and Alfred decide to go to Alfred's house.
"What happened?" Ivan asked Alfred while they cuddle up and watch T.V.
"No one will leave me alone!" Alfred groans out angrily. "I like attention, but not this kind." Ivan nods knowingly and smiles down at Alfred.
"What?" Alfred asks Ivan who was staring at him and smiling.
"You look beautiful." Ivan states. Alfred blushes a deep red and turns his face away from Ivan. Ivan then pulls Alfred's face to him and deeply kisses Alfred. Alfred eagerly kisses back. And that was how Ivan and Alfred spent the rest of the day until Maddie walks in.
"Get a room." Maddie says as she walks by to go upstairs. Alfred turns a bright red while Ivan laughs loudly. Alfred jumps off of Ivan and pulls him to his room where they continue their previous activities.
By the time Arthur and Francis got home they heard about Alfred's ditching.
"Alfred, come down now!" Arthur screams from downstairs. Alfred stops kissing Ivan and tells him to go hide in his closet. Alfred quickly goes downstairs to his dad.
"What's up dad?" Alfred asks his dad when he comes downstairs. Arthur had an anger expression on his face and his hands were crossed.
"Young man, why did you skip school?" Arthur asks with anger in his voice. Alfred frowns and slouches noticeably. "Well?"
"Ugh! No one would leave me alone!" Alfred wines. "I just couldn't take it anymore." Arthur uncrosses his arms and sighs. He understood why Alfred skipped, but it still wasn't right to do so.
"You shouldn't have skipped lad. You could have called me and I would have picked you up. You're not in trouble though." Arthur says with a hint of sadness. "What did you do when you got home?"
"Well I um" Alfred starts blushing "I just came home and played video games." Francis pops his head out from the kitchen and gives Alfred an all knowing smirk. Soon a scream was heard from upstairs. Arthur and Alfred run up the stairs while Francis grabs a kitchen knife and follows them. The three slowly walk to Alfred's room and sees Maddie and Ivan staring at each other angrily.
"You stayed home alone with Ivan?" Arthur asks angrily. Alfred nods numbly and Ivan quickly gets out of the room, but not before giving Alfred a quick kiss.
Soon after all the yelling and screaming settles they family decide to finally have dinner.
