The chapter after this is actually gunna be hilarious just saying xD

Feliciano inhaled softly as he walked down the street with Ludwig, walking to the taller boy's home. Feliciano was so looking forward to seeing where it was he lived.

He loved walking with Ludwig but he felt so out of place. Ludwig deserved to be walking next to a gorgeous blonde girl, wearing a pink summer dress or something. What did he get? A… Feliciano didn't feel confident enough to call himself either a boy or a girl. A person who wore a baggy hoodie and jeans, hunched over to hide their breasts. Ludwig shouldn't be seen with someone like that.

Feliciano could feel his hands tensing into fists every time someone passed them. He could feel the occasional icy stare, or someone looking him up and down to try and determine his gender.

Ludwig glanced down at him, lifting his hand to rub Feli's arm, able to tell how uneasy he was. "It's ok Feliciano," he purred, smiling, "We're almost there."

"I'm fine," Feliciano said, trying to sound calm. He forced a chuckle, "I don't know why I feel so worried, I never felt this bad before…"

Ludwig let out a small sigh, looking down at him with a comforting smile on his face, "Well, maybe before you felt like it didn't matter what people thought, because they werent seeing the real you, but now they are so you feel more vulnerable."

Feliciano nodded slowly, thinking it over in his head.

It was true, really, he'd always been able to laugh at people who thought he acted strange, but it felt different now.

He felt himself recoil slightly as a tall man and his friend passed, feeling his eyes bore into him as they passed. He heard a small chuckle from them.

"You can guess who wears the pants in that relationship."

Felciiano's head flicked round to them, his mouth hanging open slightly, "What?" he said under his breath.

The two continued on, not paying attention to him, not that he'd spoken loud enough for them to hear anway.

He tugged on Ludwig's sleeve, looking between him and the men who'd passed, "What did they say Ludwig?" he said ouder, the men only now turning their heads.

Ludwig let out a small huff, turning his head to look at them breifly, "It doesn't matter Feli, you don't want to get in a fight or something…"

Feliciano shook his head, "No I wanna know what they said." He took a few steps towards them, "What did you say?"

The tall man chuckled, shaking his head, "Nothing, it was nothing," he waved his hand dismissively, beginning to walk off again.

Feliciano watched them walk off, blinking rapidly as tears pricked his eyes, he turned back to look at Ludwig, "They were making fun of me…" he said weakly.

Ludwig forced a smile, "They were saying you looked manly…"

Feliciano shook his head, "No, they were saying I looked like a masculine woman."

Ludwig smiled softly, stepping towards him, "Well, aren't you?"

Feliciano frowned, looking down before shaking his head, "...No," he said weakly.

"Well then what are you?" Ludwig said goadingly.

"I'm…" Feliciano paused, starting to feel tears come down his face, "I'm… I'm a guy," he said quietly. "I think I'm a guy Ludwig… Not just a girl that likes guys clothes and has a guys name, I'm actually a guy."

Ludwig smiled at him, moving to wipe the tears from Feli's eyes. "So... would you like me to call you masculine pronouns?"

"What do you mean?"

"Call you he and him instead of she," Ludwig said to clarify.

Feliciano smiled weakly, wiping his eyes and giving a small nod. "Yeah, I think I'd like that."

Ludwig let out a soft chuckle, "You know I think you'll like talking to Feliks, he'll be able to help you quite a lot i think."

"Is that your transgender friend?" Feli asked quietly, letting out a soft chuckle, "Another Feli?"

Ludwig chuckled and nodded, "Ja. He doesn't like being called Feli though. He's coming over tomorrow, do you want to come over and meet him?"

Feliciano smiled and nodded, "I'd love that Ludwig, thank you so much." he pulled him into a hug. "Thank you for helping so much… I-I don't know what I'd be doing if it wasn't for you, I'd feel so lost."

"It's ok," Ludwig cooed, "You don't have to keep thanking me, I like helping you."

Feliciano reached out to take Ludwig's hand, smiling softly to himself as they walked side by side. "I'm a man," he said softly to himself.

"Yeah," Ludwig said softly, "A very handsome man too." He looked down at him as they walked down the alley towards Ludwig's house. "Are you going to be ok going home on your own? My brother can drive you if you want."

Feliciano chewed his lip, looking back down the path, he let out a small huff, "I think I'd like that, actually," he forced a smile, "Not that I'm scared or anything I-I'm… it's just."

Ludwig shook his head, "You don't have to explain Feliciano, it's fine." He smiled down at him as they reached his door, he pulled out his keys and opened the door. "Gil?" he said loudly as they walked in, "I'm home."

Feliciano looked round as he walked into the small house, feeling himself smile slightly. It was so lovely, it was bright and modern, there were so many strange pieces of art hanging on the walls.

He felt himself smile as he saw Gil appear from the kitchen.

"Hey Feliciano," he said softly, "You look nice."

Feli felt himself blush and smile weakly.

Ludwig let out a small huff, looking down at him and biting the inside of his lip, "Uh, I told Gilbert, I hope you don't mind."

Feliciano shook his head, "No," he squeaked, "It's nice, I'm just not used to it yet."

Gilbert let out a chuckle, "You'll get used to it soon Feliciano don't worry." He took a few steps back towards the kitchen, "Do you want a coffee or something?"

Feliciano smiled widely, feeling his chest glow, "Si, please, Gilbert, that sounds great."
