"No way man!" Eijirou felt his face split with a smile as he walked over to his friend, his hand outstretched for the other to talk. "I can't believe it!"
"Me neither," Tetsutetsu laughed, clapping his hand on the redhead's and pulling him into a tight hug for a moment. "It's like the universe wants us together or some crap like that," he laughed.
"Yeah man, but at least this way we can share some of the hardships," the redhead winked at him, which caused the other to laugh.
"Yeah, I mean who else can I complain about dysphoria to?" he chuckled as he shoved his hands into his pants.
"And how annoying it is to have to go a day without wearing your binder cause it started to stink," he sighed, rolling his eyes as he thought back to how awful it had been to go an entire day without his binder because he had to let it air dry.
"I know, it sucks so much," Tetsutetsu rolled his eyes. "So, uh, how did you come out to your Moms?"
"I dunno, I just kinda told them," he shrugged, mirroring the other teenager by placing his hands in his pockets. "I think it was easier for me because they were already part of the community."
"I can see how that would be easier," the silver-haired boy sighs, rubbing the back of his head as he thought for a moment. "I was thinking about coming out to my parents, and I was kinda hoping that you would have some advice…"
"The best way to do it from what I've read on the internet is just make sure that you're in a safe space by bringing the conversation up and then if they're not then you should not come out until you're safe," Eijirou began to ramble.
Tetsutetsu nodded, folding his arms over his chest before moving one hand to hold his chin as he fell into deep thought. "Don't think too hard on it right now, bro," Eijirou chuckled, slinging his arms over his friend's shoulders. "We've got internship stuff to deal with right now!"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that," the other teenager laughed, rubbing the back of his head with his hand before he slung his other arm over his friend's shoulders as well.
Before either of them had a chance to say anything else, the pro hero that they were going to be interning with entered the room, startling them both. "What the Hell are you two idiots doing?" Fourth Kind screamed, placing two of his fists on his hips as he waited for a response.
"We were just talking, sir," Tetsutetsu replied quickly, already being trained by his own parents to answer as such when they had used a tone of voice similar to that.
"Well that's enough of that!" the pro hero shouted, walking towards them a bit. The boys had realized that they still had their arms wrapped around each other and quickly separated. Eijirou clapped his hands down tightly at his sides, mirroring what his friend was doing. "First and foremost, you two are going to be learning what to do at an agency! Then, if you manage to get through that and not utterly fail I will help you get some hand to hand combat skills. You two obviously need some help figuring out how to work without the use of your Quirks judging by what you did at the Sports Festival," the hero rambled.
Both boys listened intently, glancing at each other every now and again. When the taller man was done talking, he turned to both boys, moving two of his hands so that they were behind his back. "Understand?"
"Sir, yes sir!" both boys answered at the same time.
"Good! Now let's get to work," Fourth Kind commanded. Before he quickly began to list off the things that they were going to be doing to learn how to work at an agency.
By the time that Fourth Kind had let them go to the room that they were going to be staying in, they were utterly and completely exhausted. Eijirou collapsed down onto the bed, letting out a long sigh. "Take off your binder, bro," Tetsutetsu carefully reminded him as he turned around, removing the top part of his hero costume to reveal a pale colored binder.
"I'm too tired to move," Eijirou said decidedly, despite that, he still sat up and began to mirror his friend. "Would you mind getting my suitcase out from the corner? I need a bra."
"You should really just be free for the rest of the night, or at least that's what I read on the internet," the silver-haired boy said, but walked over to the suitcases anyway and grabbed it.
"I don't really want to get found out in anyone comes in here while we're sleeping," Eijirou explained with a small wince.
"Oh, I can understand that," he nodded. "I should probably do the same," he considered it for a moment. He walked over to the other bed, flopping the suitcase down next to his friend and the discarded pieces of Eijirou's hero uniform.
"Hey bro, this is kinda awkward but you could unzip me?" she asked, turning around and referring to the zipper that kept his crop top-like piece of leather (which was really only there until he got top surgery) in place.
"Yeah sure, you're totally manly for asking for help too," Tetsutetsu grinned as he walked back over to his friend, fumbling with the zipper for a moment before he got it to come down. Eijirou let out a small breath, his normal pattern still a bit distorted from wearing his binder as long as he had been. He turned around so that he was facing away from his friend, and the silver-haired teenager did so as well.
"I have to admit," Eijirou chuckled as he easily removed his binder. "That even though I hate having to wear it because I was born in the wrong body, one of the most amazing feelings ever is getting to take it off."
"I know, right?" Tetsutetsu chuckled, removing his own binder and digging around in his own suitcase as he looked for a bra and top to wear. "We're still manly though, right?" he asked, slight panic in his voice.
"Yeah, of course, we're manly, bro!" the red-head responded quickly, his own insecurities coming out. "It's not our fault that we were born in the wrong bodies. And I mean, everyone we know pretty much thinks that we're male, so we're manly because of that, right?"
"Yeah, you're totally right," the other boy nodded, even though he was aware that his friend could not see him as they were facing away from each other. Eijirou just hummed as he grabbed a bra out of his suitcase, sliding it over his breasts and making them seem a bit flatter, but not nearly as much as is binder did. He then returned back to his suitcase, pulling out the closest pair of pajamas that he could find before he finally, fully changed. The red-haired teenager stuffed his hero costume messily into his suitcase before zipping it enough that the contents inside could not be seen before he dumped it onto the floor and slipped it out of sight and underneath his bed.
He flopped down onto his bed with a huff, placing a hand on his stomach as he breathed in deeply. He glanced over carefully at his friend and saw that the other boy was now fully dressed in his own pajamas and packed his costume away a lot tidier into his suitcase than Eijirou had. "Dude, I am so tired," the red-head chuckled, running a hand through some of his hair to remove it from his eyes. "Ugh, I have to find a hair tie," he muttered to himself, sliding off of the bed and down to his suitcase, opening one of the front pockets and retrieving the desired object.
"You think you're tired?" Tetsutetsu asked, a small, playful smirk resting on his lips. "I don't think I'm going to be able to move tomorrow with how tired my muscles are right now."
"You more sore than after we fought at the Sports Festival?" Eijirou asked, mirroring the smirk that the other teenager had as he tied his hair back in a messy ponytail.
"I don't think I'll ever be that tired again," the silver-haired teenager chuckled as he flopped down on his bed. "Man, why do you keep your hair that long?"
"Because my previous foster parents wouldn't let me cut it after I chopped it all off and died it red right after I got in UA," he answered easily, standing up and getting underneath the covers of his bed. "And I kinda like it this long. It's a lot easier to style and keep out of your face."
"Makes sense," Tetsutetsu nodded as he thought for a moment. "Hey, can I ask you kind of a sensitive question?"
"Sure, I trust you," Eijirou nodded, turning in the bed so that he was facing the other man as opposed to staring up at the ceiling.
"Did you know your biological parents?" he asked, his voice turning soft as he began to speak from his head instead of his chest, which made him sound severely more feminine.
"They had me until I was around four until my Quirk developed, so I kind of remember them but not very much," he answered, speaking with his normal voice as the other man had done. "I don't really consider them a part of my life, especially not now that I have two really supportive Moms."
"I'm glad you have a good family, it's super manly," Tetsutetsu smiled his sharp-toothed smile at the other boy.
Eijirou yawned, "Yeah, me too."
"I'm gonna try and sleep, goodnight, bro," the silvery-haired boy yawned as well, turning over in his sleep and wound the blanket a bit around him.
"Goodnight, bro," Eijirou responded back, turning over as well and trying to fall asleep. After around ten minutes of just listening to the other person in the room breath, he gave up on trying to sleep for the moment. He dug his phone out from where it had been charging in his suitcase, opening the group chat.
Eijirou to Bakusquad
Anyone else having some trouble sleeping?
Denki to Bakusquad
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Eijirou to Bakusquad
Do you ever sleep, Den?
Denki to Bakusquad
Not really no
Eijirou to Bakusquad
Well, at least it turns out well for me this time XD
Denki to Bakusquad
Yeah XD
How is your internship going?
Eijirou to Bakusquad
Pretty good actually
Tetsutetsu and I are interning with the same guy
Denki to Bakusquad
Bruh
Wat are the chances of that happening
*what
Eijirou to Bakusquad
Ikr
We were super stoked about it too
How's your internship going?
Denki to Bakusquad
Not so well….
Eijirou to Bakusquad
Aww, what's going on bro?
Denki to Bakusquad
The dude that I'm interning with is like super rude
I'm with another one of the students from class b
And they're very open about their sexuality
And he keeps making these really awful comments and shit
It's really starting to piss me off
Eijirou to Bakusquad
That sucks bro
But
And like, don't take this the wrong way
But why do you care?
It's like you're a part of the community
Denki to Bakusquad
You don't have to be part of a community to not want the people in it to get hurt. Like, you don't have to be a race to think that they are people too and stand up for their rights. It's the same with the LGBT+ community. You don't have to be a part of it, or even know someone that is a part of it to think that they shouldn't be discriminated against.
Eijirou to Bakusquad
You're right man
I'm just way too tired and my brain isn't working right
I think I'm gonna head to bed
Night Denki
The redhead sighed as he dropped his phone down next to him on the pillows, sinking into the slightly uncomfortable bed as he let sleep overcome him.
