Michael's POV
"No!" Jeremy yelled as we lost the level yet again, "We're never going to win!"
I laughed, "Not with that attitude!" He stuck out his tongue, causing us both to giggle.
"Why don't we take a break?"
"Hm, okay," I hummed as I set down my remote on the couch next to me, leaning my head against his arm, which was linked with mine. He laced our fingers together and I sighed contently. I could still barely believe we were together. It was only a month ago when I had finally worked up the courage to ask him out.
"Jeremy?" I asked, opening my eyes. He mumbled a response before I continued. "Would you- would you still date me if I was a boy?"
"Where's that coming from?" He didn't sound angry or upset, so I took that as a good sign.
"We- well I've been thinking. I think I wanna transition. You know to like, male."
"You do?"
"Y- yeah."
"Well, alright then."
I sat up and looked at him, "Wait that's it? No 'why?' no- you're not upset?"
Jeremy laughed, making eye contact with me. "Micah, I don't love you because you're a girl. I love you because you're you. And if you think that transitioning would help you be more you, then there's no way I could be against it."
My eyes began to sting as I tried to hold back tears. "How did I get so lucky?"
"You're lucky? I'm the one who gets to date the greatest person I've ever met- whether they're a boy or a girl."
Just like that, I couldn't stop myself anymore. My eyes swelled with tears, and I reached forward to pull him into a hug. He held me close to him as I clutched the back of his shirt, silently crying into his shoulder. I was so afraid to tell him, but I had no reason to be. Sure, it's a big thing, but I should've remembered that Jeremy's always been there for me. He's not the kind of person to get upset over something like this.
I sat back, smiling at him, "Thank you. That honestly means so much to me."
"Of course," he said, his smile wide, "you mean so much to me."
I giggled, feeling my face brighten. "You sappy dork."
"Yeah, but I'm your sappy dork."
"Damn right," I told him, leaning forward to press our lips together. It was a sweet kiss, however short. It felt as though we were both pouring our hearts into the other. I reached my free hand to cup his cheek as we pulled apart. "I love you, Jere Bear."
He grinned at the nickname, "I love you too, Micah. Now, why don't we finish that level?"
I laughed and settled back into my spot next to him, linking our arms as I reached for my controller. "Are you sure you're okay with this?"
"As long as you're sure. Although, if you do transition, I just have one question."
"Yeah?"
"Would that make me bi?"
I laughed at his question, turning my head to look up at him, "Who really cares about labels."
