Little-Miss-Laughs-Alot wanted me to write a oneshot where Unique and Justine met and my dear friend XXXNiffTresTradThadbastianXXX and I was talking about how Austin could maybe help Ryder figure out his feelings for Ryder in a AU universe... Remember that I have not seen season 4 yet so don't go hating of me if they seem OOC to you ;)
It was at Blaine's birthday party that they met for the first time, Wes and Unique. Wes liked her at once and they talked a lot. There was also a boy there named Ryder that Wes felt kept shooting these looks at Unique. Wes had realized early that Unique was more than just a girl, he knew that she sometimes was a he. How? Well being so close to Justine Gideon actually made it clear what to look for. It became clear to Wes that Unique needed someone to talk to, someone to help her because she seemed to be really confused on the simple little theme called boyfriend. She told Wes she had no idea on how to get one because she was a girl but also a guy and she was really liking this boy Ryder and he was straight as far as she knew. Wes just smirked and told her to meet him at the Lima Bean the next day.
"What I didn't tell her", Wes told his 'older brother' and 'sister' the next day. "Was that I was not going to be alone or that Ryder would join us."
"Well", Austin Diaz said. "She will be happy afterwards I'm sure."
"Of course she will because you and I can help her", Justine Gideon said and looked at her reflection in her small makeup mirror. "Well I don't know how much of a help you will be."
"Thank you Just and I love you too", Austin said and rolled his eyes. Wes just laughed.
"Oh darling you know I love everything about you", she said to Austin and kissed his cheek. "Especially that your sexual orientation makes you love both sides of me."
"How someone can just love one part of you is beyond me", Austin grumbled and Wes laughed again and looked at the door. He noticed Ryder and Unique there. Both looking confused on seeing each other.
"Ryder, Unique", he called and waved. The couple noticed him and walked up to him and his two friends.
"Hi", Unique said shyly. "I was really not sure if I should come here or not but Blaine and Kurt told me that if you want to talk to someone this someone better listen because you know what you are doing."
"Well I try to", Wes said and smiled at her and she sat down between Wes and Justine. "Nice to see you Ryder."
"Hi", Ryder said and sat down between Wes and Austin. "Am I missing something?"
"No", Wes said. "I asked you two to come here because I think you both need a little help with your feelings… and solve some problems."
"Oh", Unique asked shyly. "What kind of problems?"
"Well you told me, Unique", Wes said with a kind smile. "That you have a hard time when it comes to finding a boyfriend that will accept you fully. And you Ryder said you have a bit of a problem figuring out your feelings and thoughts."
"Well", Ryder mumbled. "It's true… but I don't understand why these two are here…" He nodded at Austin and Justine.
"They are here to help because I think they understand you both far better than anyone."
"What", Unique asked and looked at Austin and Justine.
"Guys this is my friend Austin Diaz."
"Hi", Austin said and shook their hands.
"And this is his girlfriend Justine Gideon."
"The Justine Gideon", Unique asked as they shook hands. "The upcoming fashion designer?!"
"Guilty", Justine giggled. "But that is not why I am here. You see we are the same you and I Unique."
"Oh sister there is no one like Unique", Unique said in her cocky way and Ryder smiled fondly.
"Maybe", Justine said and smiled. "But just so you know I'm-"
"An uprising star", Unique said all giddy. "Like Unique but honey I will be bigger."
"I don't doubt that", Austin said looking at her figure and Justine narrowed her eyes at him and smacked him. "Ow!"
"Keep your head on straight Diaz!" Justine spat, obviously not happy with her man checking out another girl.
"Aw baby you know I don't mean anything by it", he kissed her cheek.
Wes chuckled at the little display and Justine huffed at her boyfriend… buuut she couldn't stay mad at him for long. After just a little bit of him kissing her cheek and then neck she got all giggly and hugged him.
"So Austin", Wes said sipping from his drink, looking way too innocent. "When did you fall in love with Justine?"
'What does that have to do with anything', Ryder thought.
'Why is that important?' Unique thought and noticed Austin smile.
"Actually", the Latino said. "I fell in love with Justin."
"Little flirt said what", Unique asked and Austin snorted.
"I said I fell in love with Justin."
"Who's Justin", Ryder asked.
"That would be me", Justine said happily and then sang:
How d'you do, I see you've met my faithful candyman – Austin rolled his eyes at her change in lyrics.
He's just a little brought down because when you knocked
He thought you were the handyman. – "Baby seriously", Austin asked but she ignored him.
Don't get strung out by the way I look,
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day,
But by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.
Ryder and Unique started at her and Austin and Wes laughed at their shocked expressions.
"Wait", Ryder asked after a bit. "So you're a dude?"
"And a whole lot of woman", Justine said.
Ryder then looked at Austin.
"And you knew that?" he asked.
"Of course", Austin said. "You see the first time I met my lady here she wasn't a lady."
Flashback to fall 2002
Austin was nervously walking around at his new school after the first assembly. He was going to try to audition for the Warblers and he was already nervous. The guy he was sharing his dorm room with was also auditioning but they didn't have the same classes before the auditions. Austin had watched in awe as the Warblers performed and couldn't wait to join. He was looking for the Warbler Hall and soon found it. There were lots of people there today and most of them were freshmen because they all knew that the Warblers mostly took in freshmen rather than older students. Austin waited for his turn and it soon came. He sang Queen of My Heart and was instantly accepted. As he sat there waiting for the auditions to end the name Justin Gideon was called and he looked up. In through the door came a young boy with strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. He looked shy and nervous and after laying his eyes on him… Austin knew he had to make that boy his.
End Flashback
"But I fell even harder when Justine showed her face for the first time", Austin told the teens by the table. "I had known for quite some time that I was bisexual because I am attracted to both genders, no matter what people say. Justin made me fall but Justine made the fall deeper. I couldn't believe it that I could be so lucky to have the best of both worlds. I have by my side the world's most beautiful girl and the world's most beautiful boy."
"You're just saying that", Justine giggled.
"No I don't and you know it. Now why don't you take Unique aside and let me have a nice little chat with Ryder?"
"Of course baby", Justine said and got up and pulled Unique with her to another table. As soon as she was gone Wes and Austin looked at Ryder and noticed him look at Unique with a somewhat dreamy look on his face. Wes and Austin shared a knowing look before Austin, kindly, slapped Ryder up the head.
"Ow!" Ryder exclaimed. "Dude?! Ow! What the hell?!"
"Get a grip kid and get your head on straight", Austin said sharply. "If you like her act on it."
"But-"
"It is clear to everyone but her that you are in love with her so man up and act on your feelings. Look I know you are confused. You're in love with that amazing girl, you love her looks and her personality and everything about you. What bugs you is the tiny little detail of her also being a boy."
"You don't understand", Ryder spat. "You're bisexual! You're in love with everyone!"
"Excuse me", Austin asked darkly.
"I didn't mean it like that!" Ryder hurriedly backpedaled. "I meant that it's not a trouble for you since you love both men and women… but I'm straight."
"But you love her."
"I do…"
"So what's stopping you? If you really love her you will love the whole of her. I know Justine thought I was just pulling her leg when I started to show her interest because she knew I was liking boys. Jesse, who outed me, called me closeted gay in her presence and she was sure it meant I loved boys. But I love boys and girls and I love her. I told her that. But she didn't fully believe me until I manned up and took her hand, spun her around to face me and just kissed her in front of everyone at our dorm."
"How did that end", Ryder asked.
"With a smack to my face and then another kiss", Austin smiled and looked at Justine. "I love her, both sides of her… all of her. I accept and love her for who she is and that is what's important. It doesn't matter to me that she doesn't have breasts or that she has a penis. I love her anyway, 'faults' and all. Can you do the same with Unique?"
"What", Ryder asked and Austin looked sharply at him.
"Can you love both of her sides or will you run far away when Unique is not out in the open?"
Ryder looked at him and then at Wes who was still just sipping his drink, looking as if he didn't give a damn about what was going on around him. Wasn't he supposed to be the guy you could always talk to?
"Answer me Ryder", Austin said sharply.
"I…" Ryder stuttered. "I think so?"
"You can't think", Austin said. "You must know. Do you know what your feelings mean?"
"Yes…"
"So?"
"So what?"
"Say it."
"Say what?"
Austin looked at Wes.
"Is he always this thick?" he asked and Wes shrugged.
"How should I know", he said. "I met him yesterday."
Austin rolled his eyes and then turned to Ryder again.
"So, can you love her, all of her and not only the lady parts?" he asked. Ryder looked at him… and nodded. Austin smiled and patted his shoulder.
While this was going on Justine and Unique chatted happily about fashion and stuff. But Unique kept throwing looks at Ryder and the other two boys. Wes was looking as if nothing was going on around him and Austin was lecturing Ryder about something… by the looks of it. Justine noticed her look at the boy's table and smiled.
"Boys", she said.
"Yeah…" Unique said and sighed.
"You think you won't ever get a boyfriend", Justine said and smiled when the younger transsexual stared at her in surprise. "Sweetheart I've been there. I was you, I am you I will always understand you. When I was your age I was sure I would never get a boyfriend… but now I do." She turned to look at Austin and smiled as he, Wes and Ryder laughed at something.
"I never thought someone would love me", she said and turned back to Unique. "All of me. A lot of boys have fallen in love with my female or male side but no one loves both of them. The gay guys are not hot for the girl and the straight ones are not fond of the boy. But Austin loves them both and he doesn't love one side more than the other. I never thought that would happen, but it did. I liked Austin from the first time I saw him but never thought I had a chance with him. I'd seen him date girls and I'd seen him smile at them and make them all giggly and weak in the knees… I never thought that he could love all of me but he does… a lot."
Unique looked at the woman in front of her.
"Do you think I'll find someone like Austin someday", she asked.
Justine smiled.
"Of course", she answered. "Just don't give up trying. That Ryder is a cute boy that really seems to like the female part of you."
"That's just the thing, that's the only part he likes", Unique said and looked at her lap.
"Oh sweetheart you don't know that unless you give him a chance."
Unique looked up at her and then Ryder and noticed him look at her. She smiled and he smiled back. Maybe she could give it a chance? What had she to lose?
Here you go, feel free to send me request by review or pm ;) And I'll see what I can do about it :D
