Natsuki woke up with a yawn, rubbing at her eyes. She crawled off the bed and grabbed a water bottle that laid on the nightstand. She grabbed her estrogen pills from the dresser, guzzling the pill down with the water.
She smoothed out the sweater she wore, which was Yuri’s gray sweater. The article of clothing hung down below her thighs. She made her way out of the shared bedroom with the other girl, entering the kitchen.
Her girlfriend, Yuri, was hard at work cooking eggs and bacon. The purple-haired girl turned her head. A small smile itched on her lips.
“Good morning, Nat,” greeted Yuri.
“Morning, Yuyu,” she replied, her voice hoarse with sleep.
Yuri blushed at the nickname. Although they’ve been dating for almost a year now, she still found herself growing embarrassed rather easily.
Natsuki made herself oolong tea with two spoonfuls of sugar. Yuri grimaced at the sight. “Hey, don’t knock it ‘till you try it,” muttered the pink-haired girl. Yuri rolled her eyes playfully.
“Only you could withstand that much sugar. It’s sweet, just like you,” said Yuri.
A dust of red blossomed on Natsuki’s cheeks. She muttered incoherently, trying to calm down her flustered face.
“I-I’m sorry!” Yuri quickly apologized.
“No, it’s okay! You just… you caught me off guard. Usually, I’m the one that’s flirting with you!” exclaimed Natsuki.
The purple-eyed girl sighed with relief and nodded in understanding.
She finished making the breakfast and handed Natsuki a plate with sunny side eggs and bacon beside it. Natsuki dug in eagerly as Yuri took a seat, politely eating her meal.
“Today’s a special day,” commented Yuri.
Natsuki perked her head up, waiting for her to continue.
“Today’s the full year you’ve been on HRT!” she grinned from ear to ear.
The pink-haired girl blinked owlishly. “You- you remembered?” she sputtered, disbelief clear in her tone.
“Of course I did! How could I not?” Yuri tilted her head like a confused puppy.
“Sayori and Monika likely remembered as well. It was a big day for you,” said Yuri with a nod.
Natsuki suddenly broke out in tears. Panic consumed Yuri whole as she dashed towards her girlfriend’s side. She gingerly wiped away her tears, concern written on her face.
“W-What’s wrong?!” she stuttered out.
It took a moment for the pink-haired girl to calm down, with Yuri’s help. “I… I never would’ve expected to find people who’d support me for being me…” hiccuped Natsuki.
Yuri stroked her lover’s back comfortingly. The purple-eyed girl nodded with understanding before she pressed her lips to her girlfriend’s forehead.
“My support for you will never cease. It only makes sense I’d accept you because even though we had a rocky start, we get along well with each other. I… I love you, Natsuki, and no matter what you identify as, that will never stop my love,” uttered Yuri.
Natsuki didn’t trust herself to reply, so she snaked her arms around her lover’s waist, nuzzling her face into the gap between Yuri’s neck and shoulder. The purple-haired girl wasted no time in consoling her lover.
