Info: (I do everything in story form. I can't help myself. No one else feel obligated to do this.)
Luca’s engagement ring was lying abandoned on the nightstand. Luca was curled up on the bed, sheet pulled over her face and crying the words, “You don’t want to marry me. You don’t want to marry me,” over and over for fifteen minutes before Sebastian could pry out any bit of the story and when Luca muttered, “I wish I were a girl,” Sebastian knew Luca well enough to say he wasn’t entirely surprised.
Sebastian wasn’t easily daunted and the though the idea of transsexuality confounded and mystified him, he knew he was still in love with the same Luca. Gender had become superfluous. If Luca thought she were meant to be a girl, she was. End of story. He’d started using female pronouns right away and Luca had seemed to settle. Sebastian was disappointed in himself for not noticing before that’s she’d been restless.
It was standing by Luca through transitioning that proved the hardest. Sebastian knew why statistics showed that most couples split when one of the partners came out as transgendered. It wasn’t that he loved Luca any less, it was that he wondered if he lost a bit of his self-identity in the transition process. For a while, he struggled with whether or not maintaining their relationship meant he was still gay. After Luca’s transition, they would technically be a “straight” couple, but he knew it wasn’t that simple. They became outcasts to both the gay and straight communities, neither group thinking that they fit in there. After a while, they decided that not labeling themselves would be better than trying to fit into any category. They’d find friends again.
Luca decided not to change her name either, maintaining that she was still the same person. “I want to change my body, not my entire identity. I‘m still just Luca.” Sebastian considered arguing that she wasn’t even changing her body that much, that she’d always been rather effeminate, but instead he let her have her dignity.
And after it was all over with and Luca had become the girl she had been meant to be, it was well over two years since the evening she’d cried her confession to Sebastian from her hiding place under the covers. And it was then, when Luca could wear a wedding dress and fill it out perfectly that Sebastian proved her wrong and married her without hesitation.
