Giovanni🖤🚀:
"They/Them? . .Uh yeah sure whatever you're still going to steal Pokemon for me right?" Is essentially how it went down.
I mean you really have to forgive him it's not like he wants to be dismissive he just has a lot of grunts to take care of and he may or may not forget in passing that you go by they/them pronouns. But it's not like you'll let it slide either and in a strange cosmic sort of way he doesn't mind if your correct him either. Believe it or not he does actually listen to his subordinates and wants to minimize the least amount of employee discomfort if necessary. Too much infighting can create problems, so if you feel as of fellow grunts are disrespecting you than Giovanni will do something about it.
Now it won't be perfect but he'll definitely do a very corporate mandate "don't be mean to gay people" speech before a meeting and thats essentially it.
Dating:
Thats a different story.
Getting into a relationship with Giovanni is already in itself a miracle. Like more than likely it was you pursuing him than the other way around. But dating him is probably one of the best things in your life. He's rather charming and sweet, to you at least, even though he's THE leader of Team Rocket. Speaking of which dating him essentially makes you team rockets right hand so that's a bonus. You've never really had any troubles with dating him. Minimal couples spats here and there but for the most part it's smooth sailing!
He really does love you even if he has an . . interesting way of showing it. He still has some hard times getting over his previous relationship but don't think that he treats you like a secondary thing. He loves you fully in the now and makes sure you know it.
With that all in mind you'd think it would have been easy to come out to him. Right? Nope.
You struggled to tell him from the beginning that you use They/Them pronouns. Even though you didn't really hide it. Even still he referred to you in what he perceived you to be at first, that was until you finally had it in you to come out.
It was now or never.
It had been only a few months after you began dating, once you felt as if this relationship wasn't going to end you felt like this would be the perfect time to confess. Either that or risk spending the next few years stuck in the closet.
One heartfelt confession later and you swore it felt like confessiing your love to him all over again what with you and all your nervous shaking. . . and surprisingly it wasn't bad.
Now it wasn't great either but it was not like he was getting disgusted or freaked out or anything.
It was a long pause followed by a few "questions" that would start stop and start again until he finally composed himself and walked right up next to you. His expression seeming to never change, until what felt like forever he softly smiled, pulled you in close for a gentle embrace, and softly ran his fingers through your hair.
Giovanni: . . . was that all you wanted to tell me?
You sheepishly nodded into his embrace unable to speak up due to your nerves keeping your mouth locked and sealed.
Giovanni frowned for a moment: Now . . . why did you feel the need to hide this from me?
This was where you almost started crying. His voice stern and almost disappointed you weren't sure how to make out his emotions so instead you turned away unable to look him in the eye. Fortunately your reaction made Giovanni stop. He didn't question you further only hugging you more as he ran his fingers down your back before he turned to leave and walked away.
It was only the next morning where you were informed of your partners wearabouts. Despite the better reaction than anticipated from yesterday you were still worried about Giovanni's internal thoughts about your gender. A grunt was just outside your door ready to escort you to a meeting hall. After readying yourself you slowly treked to the location. Your heart pounding in nervousness as your mind raced with possibilities of what could be in store for you.
Slowly as you entered the meeting hall your body jittery. . .
Shakily you opened the door only to be meet with the most horrifying display before you. The once darkend room filled with blacks, golds and, maroons as leather chairs perfectly spaced apart for plenty of grunts to seat themselves into was now a darkend meeting hall filled with rainbow lights, and colorful decora as your partner stood proudly next to the giant projector in the room. The grunts that occupied the room, their faces not of disgust but quite content sat in their chairs not even glancing your way when you entered the room. You had apparently entered while the meeting was already taking place but a part of you wanted to just walk right back out as your face became a blushing mess of embarrassment. Your partner, THE boss of Team Rocket was currently donning his classic Rocket suit but with a subtle twist in design. For his Rocket insignia had changed from bright red to rainbow in the span of a night. You weren't even paying attention to what Giovanni was blabbering about, something about tapping into the gay market means more grunts or something, as your eyes stared wided eyed at the PowerPoint currently on screen! In all capital letters "TEAM ROCKET IS FOR THE GAY COMMUNITY" is loudly displayed on screen.
. . . well at least he's supportive.
TW: Facing Discrimination:
Now this is something Giovanni won't tolerate no matter what you identify as. It's already a rough life as is to be dating the worlds most notorious criminal. Discrimination was already something you experienced often. But if for some reason word got out of your gender and discrimination came from that Giovanni wouldn't treat it as any less serious.
Giovanni (addressing anyone who dare tries to hurt you): . . . Tsk . I can't tell if your real brave or just plain stupid. Go after me any day, any time of the week. But . . . try to hurt the person I love. . . well I can't have some trash just float so casually in my direction. (If his persian wasn't pouncing already they definitely are now). . . someone's got to get rid of it.
He really does love you and won't stand for such insignificant low lives to get in between what you two have.
🖤🚀-----------------------------------🚀🖤
Maxie❤🌋:
"Oh! .. . .well this is uh . . . hmm, thank you for informing me."
Now don't take this stammering and confusion as Maxie dismissing you. Quite the opposite really. In all honesty, Maxie is rather honored to be someone his subordinates feel comfortable enough to share personal information with. What's honestly more shocking is how many grunts and other Magma members have been open to him about this sort of thing. It's not as though Maxie is judgmental by any means but Maxie isn't unaware of the sort of presence he presents himself to people.
He can't help it. This is just who he is but Maxie knows that he does not come across as the most approachable person to others. So he really does mean it when he says he's touched to have you open up to him. Now is everything afterwards perfect? No. Him like many other leaders have many grunts who work for them so spare some forgiveness if he misgenders you in any way. It takes him a while to adjust to new changes but dont think he doesn't try. As a leader he wants to make sure all his grunts are comfortable working with him. Correct him when he makes a mistake and he'll do his best to learn. He'll even write little notes for himself on other grunts who have changed pronouns and names as to have a better chance at remembering. He may make his mistakes but he truly does care and wants you to know that too.
Dating:
Dating Maixe is nothing but sweet tender moments and loving charm as you two go through this partnered life at your own gentle pace. Despite his busy schedule and constant upkeep of the new and improved Team Magma, Maxie still caught the love bug when he first laid eyes upon you. At first Maxie had himself confused as to what emotions he was experiencing with you. He never thought of himself as being able to fall so casually in love with someone. Never once did he think love at first sight to be true, but as the months passed on he found himself making more time for you. Planning his schedule to better fit yours, making sure he'd spend personal time with you even if it was once a week, and sooner or later he found your name casually being brought up in facets of his life that didn't even include you. Even his admins caught wind of his changing behavior long before he ever did. It was one summer day that he found his feelings at an all time high. Once again, he accidentally slipped your name in passing to his admins even though your name need not be in that conversation. Eventually he had no choice but to confess his feelings to you, partially because his admins refused to stop teasing him about it.
Well after one sunset date by the Mt. Chimney and one soft yet well thought out confession to you later, from that day forward you became Maxie's partner and you couldn't be any happier. . . except for one thing.
Like the burning flames of swirling lava found in Mt. Chimney a cascade of dread brewed inside you ready to burst at any moment. Like a volcano ready to erupt you weren't sure how to approach your future with Maxie. It all seemed so clear yet so blurry at the same time. Dating seemed obvious, Maxie loved you dearly and unless you betrayed him he wasn't planning on leaving you nor are you to him. Hell marriage seemed like the obvious next step as you two have dated for quite some time now almost becoming an honorary Team Manga member in your own right with how much you have helped them.
You could see a sweet loving life with Maxie with all the standard couples experiences that come with it. And yet . . . you still couldn't picture it as the person you are right now. . . as the person you were pretending to be.
Now you never once believed Maxie to be disgusted by topics such as gender and sexuality. Nor did you think he'd judge those who express themselves differently, however there was always this inner voice convincing you otherwise. That if you dare be true to yourself then this peaceful, loving life you share with Maxie would burn and become nothing more than ash in the wind. It made you sick to think such things and you desperately wanted to just rip the bandaid, so to speak, and just confess how you truly feel to him, but ever yet you stay silent. That was until you just couldn't take hiding away anymore.
It was a gentle summer day, just like the one where Maxie first confessed his love to you all those days before. The sun shone brightly in the sky, nearby Pokemon could be heard from deep within the woods that surrounded your shared home. All seemed well as you sat beside the window of your living room. Your eyes looking out to the forest that surrounds your home and yet anyone could see that you were staring into a world of your own, so much so that you hadn't even noticed the subtle tears that streamed down your face, nor did you notice Maxie coming up to greet you.
He had just arrived back home from work. Now normally you'd be right at the door ready to greet him. Your face lighting up the room and completely washing away any stress Maxie would have at work. However over the course of several days that has shifted. It started of slow, you no longer being right at the door to greet him. Then it shifted to no longer running up to see him even if you noticed him entering the room. Now it's at a point you don't even acknowledge him, this day in particular being the worst.
Now Maxie isn't dumb. He can sense when someone is hiding something from him. Though normal it is about one of his grunts trying to cover up something they weren't supposed to do. Normally his response would reflect his status as a leader that is to say he can normally handle this sort of situation with tact and authority but could he respond the same way to his partner? No. . . He couldn't or better yet he wouldn't. Maxie hasn't been in a relationship in a long time much less a serious one so to say he is unsure how to handle these sorts of things is an understatement. Though Maxie knows one thing for sure is why now? He always prided himself and you to be a couple that is as open and honest with each other as possible even if you two don't always agree on things. He's tried giving you the space he believes you need hoping that you'd come to your senses and just confront him with what your hiding but here, right now as he looks at you gazing out the window, he can't stand this anymore.
Slowly as he approaches you his mind races with possibilities as to what you could be hiding from him. He almost feels shame for doing so. To think of his partner in such a way, as dishonest or worse disloyal. He tries to shake those possibilities away. It can't be true, you're not anything like that. So than what else? . ... Could it be that you simply fallen out of love with him. He almost stops in his tracks as his heart grows hard, sinking into the deepest pits of his stomach. He doesn't want to believe it but the logical side of his brain has him analyzing every possibility. Why couldn't it be true? He ponders. If one can so casually just fall in love . . . than the opposite has to be true. Even still he musters the strength to keep walking towards you and as he sees your form the only thing he notices is the reflection from the window. Your face a somber scene as gentle tears stream down your face. In an instant it seems as if all of his negative thoughts and worries subside. His focus, trying to comfort you.
Gently do you feel soft hands pull you to turn and face your partner. Having been lost in your thoughts the instant reality check nearly gives you whiplash. You don't even have a chance to process what is happening as you feel your body being pulled closer to Maxies. It isn't a full on hug but the embrace is still warm and inviting as his hand runs fingers along your side. Maxie doesn't speak only giving you the room to share as he silently waits. His other hand has made quick work of trying to wipe the tears that keep streaming from your eyes. The silence between you speaks a thousand words as you nearly begin to sob at the sight of Maxie's gaze. You've never seen him so worried and hurt before.
(Y/N): . . . I . .I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
Maxie (shaking a bit): . .But, but I don't understand. You can always speak to me you know that!
You quickly shove your face against his chest as your sudden movement nearly kncoks Maxie back and yet his embrace never breaks.
Maxie (worried): If something is troubling you, we've always worked through it together and I don't doubt we can't this time but. ...I can't help you if you keep things to yourself.
You only silently shake your head mumbling soft "I don't knows". Maxie keeps holding you tight and wiping your tears but even he starts to falter as his worries start to cloud his judgment once more.
Maxie: . . .Please.
This subtle plea causes you to stop for a moment. You look at him once more, your hand going to cup his face as you breath remains shaky.
(Y/N). . I .. . I just. I don't want to ruin what we have. . . and I don't know if you'd understand.
Maxie (softly he holds your face): Then help me understand.
And so you confessed. You told him everything. All your thoughts, feelings, experiences. All your worries and doubts. Everything. You cried and cried and cried until you had no more tears left to cry. All while Maxie was there to wipe each tear away. When the last words escaped your lips Maxie still remained silent. In that moment he wasn't quite sure what to say for he had to much on his mind first. For starters Maxie was relieved that none of his worries were true. Then he was shamed by the fact that you felt so worried in the first place. A part of him was guilty that something like this was something you felt the need to hide from him. Perhaps he hasn't come across as open and accepting as he presented himself to be. As he looked back down to you all he could see was the person he loved so dearly and nothing more than that.
Maxie: . . . I will always love and accept you no matter who you want to be.
And that was all he needed to say as you embraced him more and softly smiled through gentle tears.
TW Facing Discrimination:
Much like any other loving partner Maxie would not stand for his partner to face discrimination. Now dating him already comes with wandering eyes especially from the people of Hoenn who some haven't exactly gotten over the near world ending fued between Team Magma and Team Aqua. However anyone who tries to make fun of, or harass you for how you present is faced with a Maxie that still shocks you when he comes out. Now Maxie likes to pride himself in being calm, cool, and collected. He believes that all of his problems can be solved with civil discussion but that's not entirely true. There are more than a handful of times where his buttons get pushed a tad too much and he becomes quite the enraged and fouled mouth man. His face nearly becomes as red as his hair as his glasses barely hang onto his face. He stammers and even shouts wildly somehow remaining coherent enough to spout facts and logic while mixing in a slew of profanities into the argument. Dare anyone try to harass you about how you present and they'll more than likely be on the receiving end of one very angry Maxie.
Maxie: (Stammering) H. .How DARE you?! What gives YOU any fucking right to address someone. . ANYONE in this way?? Hasn't any one taught you some manners you . . you insignificant . . good for nothing. ...for fucks sake. ... Waste of MY time!!!
Lets just say he's VERY passionate about standing up for you.
❤🌋-----------------------------------🌋❤
Archie💙🌊:
"Oh? . . HAHAHA! Sounds good to me!"
In all honesty you don't really have to worry about coming out to Archie or any member of Team Aqua to be frank. Out of any team, Team Aqua members are about as open as you can get. Now of course you have the few strays that don't accept but they're pretty outnumbered. Telling Archie that your changing Pronouns is about as easy as it gets. Though remember that he is a busy man being leader and all so it may take him a bit to remember the change but he will definitely try and actually feel pretty guilty if he messes up too much. Luckily admins Shelly and Matt are quick to catch onto any changes. They'll likely be reminding him for you if they catch Archie forgetting. You're in pretty good hands at Team Aqua and you have a lot of supprters to help you feel comfortable. What's even better is that Archie is used to addressing all of his grunts with some ocean themed nickname anyways. He usually just goes for "scamps" which is pretty gender neutral in of itself. Though in all seriousness Archie is glad you feel comfortable around him and he's proud of all of his grunts who are proud to be who they are.
Dating:
Other than the Kisses and hugs and other couples related ordeals dating Archie isn't all that different from how'd he'd react with his grunts. In the sense that you don't feel that Archie would be the type to judge you for coming out to him. Of course in the beginning you had the habit of staying "in the closet" no matter who you met. Even if they literally held up a sign saying "I Love gay people" you'd still find yourself keeping a low profile. You know. Just in case. But as time quickly treked on you discovered that Archie's acceptance of others was the real deal. Of the times you visited Team Aqua you noticed just how many of the grunts were openly out about their identities and how well Archie respected and treated them no differently to any other grunt.
With all that you saw and with all that you experienced you eventually found the right opportunity to be open to Archie. And boy were you as casually open about it as you could be.
It was just a sunny afternoon as the two of you observed the peaceful beach before you. The two of you wanting your Pokemon to experience some sun all were happy and joyful getting to soak in the rays. As you washed and cleaned your Pokemon you broke the soft silence by casually dropping your "coming out" to your partner.
Though what came after only worried you. I mean. . .there was no doubt in your mind that Archie wouldn't accept you. You've seen the proof a dozen times. There couldn't be any reason as to why it would be different between you two. But Archies sudden pause scared you a bit. He hadn't even turned around to acknowledge you as he remained silent. . . was this the wrong time? Should you have waited longer?
(Y/N): *with a shaky voice* . . d. . do you have anything to say about that?
Before you could even look his way you felt large, warm, loving arms embrace you from behind as you feel your body being lifted off the ground. Sand particles fall off your skin as your body gently spins around in Archies arms. Your Pokemon joyfuly laugh along as Archie finally puts you on the ground to face him.
Archie: Well now! I think that's pretty alright with me! *He flashes you his signature smile as he pats your side and kisses your cheek*
See. . . no need to worry in the slightest.
Just like the grunts nicknames rarely need any changes say for the few ones that might be a bit gender specific that you'd prefer being changed. But typically nicknames for you are "lovedisk, sweet siren, his beautiful/handsome pearl" if any nicknames now make you uncomfortable he'll be quick to stop them as he works to find new ones to call you. He loves you, he really does and that won't ever stop just because you want to present differently.
TW Facing Discrimination:
Calm. Almost too calm than you expect. You've always known Archie to be his loud, boisterous self, always being the biggest person in the room. So when you experience him face to face with someone who was trying to harass you, you expected him to be just as loud all the same. But the shouting never came. Almost as if your partner was saying all that he needed to say with just his presence alone. Now Archie isn't the tallest man you know but he's definitely more built than most. All he ever did was just stare down your harasser, not a single expression on his face besides the hard stare. His stance wasn't even all that intimidating just an upright position with his arms crossed not a word spoken at all. When your harasser eventually noticed that Archie wasn't going to budge and especially wasn't going to let them get to you they'd eventually give up and leave. Initially you had wished Archie to have done more but in all honesty this was probably for the best that Archie didn't draw any attention to you or himself. Even still as the perpetrator left Archie would make sure you were okay and hug you closely.
Archie: (softly) Sorry you gotta go through that. . . (he kisses your head) but as long as my pearl is okay than that's all I care about.
For such a big guy Archie can be a real softy for you.
💙🌊-----------------------------------🌊💙
Cyrus🩶🌌:
"Oh . . . .I see."
Honestly, tell him if you want but don't expect much of a reaction nor a strong will to change. This is Cyrus we are talking about. His mind is so preoccupied with the whole human spirit mumbo jumbo and creating his new world that this sort of thing won't be on his priority list of things to address at the moment. I mean coming out to him is like a whole contradiction in it's own right. Like you do realize that he's trying to eliminate the human spirit and gender can be a very powerful and emotionally driven journey that some people experience. Unless your just expressing it as a nonchalant thing than Cyrus won't really understand the need for you to make it known. Now does that make him homophobic? No. Not at all. At least he doesn't believe himself to be. He's not against it he's just indifferent to it. He doesn't care who you love or what you identify as just don't go telling him and expect him to care. Is he going to try and make some effort? Yes sort of. He might write it down as a reminder as to not purposely insult you. He does want to make sure his members don't just up and quit on him especially when he's so close to reaching his ideals. If this is really something you might consider leaving the team for he'll do a small bit of effort to keep the peace but honestly how often are you going to have one on one conversations with him anyways? You're probably better off coming out to the admins than him directly.
Dating:
Okay so dating him is like a whole other thing. For starters Cyrus never pictured in a million years he'd let a simple emotion like love be felt for him especially now that he's trying to get rid of all human spirit and emotion. But alas here you come into his life and completely muddy is dumb human emotions like it's nothing. It's completely jumbled him so much that he finds it intriguing how you were able to pull it off. It also means he's frustrated for half of it too. How you are able to maintain a civil relationship perplexes everyone, but you wouldn't have it any other way. Cyrus pretty much has to be guided on how to do relationship things with you because it's not like he ever prepared himself for this. You are essentially the most patient person on the planet when it comes to showing Cyrus what it means to love and date but your still happy and supportive to see him try. It's a rough and albeit rocky road but it's a road that both, yes you and HIM, want to take.
In the beginning, it was a lot of hurdles and I mean A LOT of hurdles to jump.
(Y/N): *staring out the window* . . . those wildflowers. . . they look nice. I like them.
Cyrus: *He quickly glances up from his computer to look at the flowers before returning to his work*. ... Yes. They are.
(Y/N): *Fidgeting in your seat and blushing a bit* . . . Yep. I really, really like them.
Cyrus: *A bit confused as he types.* Yes. You also made that known.
(Y/N):. . . mhm. Would be nice if we had some in the house.
Cyrus: *a bit of realization settles in* . . oh. *he pauses for a bit and rummages through his desk and pulls out some scissors. He hands them to you before returning to his typing*
(Y/N): *sighing as you take the scissors.* I meant, that It'd be nice with. . we got them together.
Cyrus stops once more. He pauses for what feels like forever until he final stands to face you. His expression never changing as he looks you in the eyes. His monotone voice speaking to you.
Cyrus: . ... why dance around this request if this is what you've wanted all along? . . . just ask like a normal person.
You almost feel guilty for being so childish. You look down in shame that you've up and annoyed him. But before you could continue sulking you feel his hand intertwine with your own as he leads you to the yard to pick some flowers.
Now this is just one of many interactions you have with Cyrus as your partner but you never once doubt that he doesn't love you. He just has his unique way of expressing it. And believe it or not he has his way of remembering all the little things that make you happy. Never let him know that you've caught a glimpse at his notes before. It was by complete accident but you can never unsee what you saw. On a list of things he titled "for the new world", there on the list read "fields of wildflowers". That was all you needed to see to know that Cyrus does indeed love you. However with every hurdle that you've jumped thus far the biggest one you've been pushing off is the one pertaining to your gender identity. I mean how could you even begin to address it? You've barely made headway in being open and direct with him about asking to pick some silly little flowers!
You felt this nauseous sinking feeling in your pit. Something akin to dread and hopelessness, like you'd never get to the point of being open with him as truly to person you want to be. If simple gestures of love are taking this long to establish would you ever be able to open up to him?
This thought process kept you up most nights. Hell most days you avoided looking at yourself in the mirror. It was like being back home all over again. Having to hide yourself from your family and peers because neither would ever understand or accept you for who you really are. In a sense that's part of the reason why you fell for Cyrus. You didn't agree with his methods but you understood his frustration with how your fellow humans so casually wasted their time being hateful towards things that don't matter. So why is it that while dating him you find it hard to express yourself to him? . . . would he even care?
This behavior of yours wouldn't go unnoticed by Cyrus. However, he let your emotional spiral go unchecked a lot later than he should have let go on. Hell it was starting to affect other aspects of your life. Strange that it may be but Cyrus almost missed the annoyingly positive person he'd be greeted to every time he'd come home from work. As he felt your presence being pulled further away it was like his routine was being disrupted all over again. He had just gotten used to you so why were you trying to disrupt it all over again?
It was one night were he finally had enough of whatever was bothering you that he felt compelled to confront you directly about it.
You had barely gotten yourself comfortable in bed when you noticed Cyrus standing before you.
(Y/N): . Cyrus. . wha.
Cyrus: *interrupting* How long do you plan on playing these silly games?
(Y/N): . . I .
Cyrus: Tsk . . Don't bother trying to hide it. Same in that I won't bother trying to learn the rules. I have better uses of my time so you might as well just say what's on your mind.
(Y/N): . *Having been interrupted to many times you start to feel annoyed* . . it's not that simple Cyrus.
Cyrus: . . What?
(Y/N): . wha . What? What do you mean "what"?
Cyrus: ... I mean why wouldn't it be simple. Just speak, it isn't that difficult.
(Y/N): but it is difficult!
Cyrus: . . . *sigh* the world would be a lot better off if people just said what they needed to say and you know that.
(Y/N): *Now you were getting upset at your partners blunt attitude that you started crying and getting louder with each word that spilled from your mouth* . . But it ISN'T . .OKAY!
And then you stopped and for a brief moment Cyrus did too. All he did was just look at you, cold and unmoved by your sudden outburst. As quickly as you shouted you immediately apologized through warm tears that you were trying to rid yourself of by furiously wiping them away.
(Y/N): . . I ...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you. . .and I'm trying not to cry either.
As you continued to wipe Cyrus didn't say anything. Instead he sat next to you his expression never shifting but you could tell he wasn't trying to come off as standoffish.
(Y/N): . . but I mean what I say when I say that sometimes speaking your mind is difficult. . . but your right though. It's not the act of speaking your mind that is hard but . . . it's what comes after that makes it hard. You don't know how people are going to react that it makes being honest so frustrating. . . and let's just say that whatever I'm keeping from you is because I'm afraid. . . afraid that the consequences of what I say will leave me all alone again.
Cyrus just sat and listened to what you had to say. On one hand he felt . . . a twinge of guilt to hear you feel so afraid to be honest to him. As if he hasn't come so far as to make it clear that you can tell him anything that's on your mind. Though the other half of him couldn't deny that he's delt with something similar a long time ago, . .with his family. Before Cyrus could speak up you spoke to him first.
(Y/N): *A soft unamused chuckle escaped you as you simply told him* . ... But you're also right in that it's dumb to hide it any longer. . . Cyrus . . I'm. . .
And you confessed. Not a long drawn out confession but not a dull short one either. You spared him any details, only keeping the most important parts in. Even still it felt. . . odd to come out to him while at the same time it felt like a huge weight was being lifted off your shoulders.
(Y/N): . . so yeah. . . that's about it.
Cyrus: *pausing for a moment* ... I . . I will do what I can.... to try and understand. . . this.
Before ge sat up to leave his hand found itself resting on yours as his fingers rubbed gentle circles around your hand. This may seem like nothing to the average person but something this small was enough to make your heart flutter. As for all things in this relationship this would be the start of just one hurdle in many hurdles to come. But you were willing to jump each and every one. One hurdle at a time.
TW: Facing Discrimination:
Even though Cyrus, Mr. Doesn't show emotions at all, may look indifferent to those being hateful, but you know otherwise. I mean this is the leader of team Galactic over here! He absolutely despises ANYONE who expresses hatred. He deems it to be the most useless emotion of all time so if anyone even tries to discriminate against you they'll be on Cyrus's black list for good. Luckily being out in public with Cyrus means that most folks leave you alone as is. They get one good look at Cyrus and decide it's not worth their time approaching someone who's glares would kill them if they could. However if someone really bold or rather really stupid for some Arceus forsaken reason tries confronting you Cyrus is quick to cut them off before they can get a good word in.
Cyrus: (towards someone discriminating against you) "if you are going to be burdened by such useless emotions then at least use them towards something that matters."
Is his roundabout way of saying hating on gay people accomplishes nothing you useless PoS.
Cyrus (addressing you): and this is why the human spirit must be eliminated. . . such useless display of emotions is not fit for the world that I will build . .. For the both of us.
And on THAT note this is his roundabout way of saying I accept you and love you.
