A Very Important Discussion

Word Count: 2,115

To say the past few months in Aerial's life had been amazing would be a huge understatement. It was her first year of Atlas and she had met all the members of her new team when they were paired together on the first day after initiation. Snow was still coming around, and Aerial knew he needed more time and she absolutely understood that. Aliah was much more talkative and warm regarding her as a teammate, and a new friend and constantly, softly tries to get Snow to open up more with Aerial and Kuro. Kuro was absolutely fantastic, and already grew to being like a big brother to her and he had quickly grew to fry bacon in the mornings for the team if he could, but mostly for her after a discussion she had with them all a little while after being teamed up.

And then the tournament rolled around, and two certain teams arrived to Atlas from Beacon. Teams ASHE and KRSC. She had very quickly grown attached to them all from when she had met and helped Ebony get over her fear of crowds when they arrived if only for a little while that day. She was almost immediately smitten with the leader of Ebony's team, Wave Aideen. She had even asked him to the dance when he, Ebony, and Sakura had accompanied her to her team's own borrowed recording studio where they continued to bond over their shared love of music, each of them having their own instrument to jam out with.

Then a dark, albeit short period of time passed with the missions app her newest friends had taken part in. Ebony was stabbed, and Carlisha was eaten by a Sand Leviathan and nearly every single muscle in her body was torn from the strain they were put through to save a man's life from the fate that almost fell on her. Before the missions, Aerial and Wave began to date, even though it would soon have to be long distance between them. And right after that, Carlisha had confessed her love that had grown for Wave, and left them to their relationship and began to continue with the medication for her heat.

But after those missions and after Carlisha had talked with Wave and Aerial, they agreed to a relationship where Wave would date both of them, but they would only date Wave. Or… so Aerial thought. Aerial and Carlisha had grown close and during the dance, Carlisha offered Aerial a dance to where the aspiring pilot had accepted, and Carlisha had relentlessly teased her but also helped her in a huge way. It made Aerial start to realize that she was bisexual, and dear lord Carlisha was making her fall in love with her as well.

And Kuro almost won the tournament that year! A team of freshmen students nearly won the tournament over the other teams! Perhaps if it wasn't for Ebony defeating Kuro in the final match, and if Ebony wasn't in the finals in the first place then he would have won, but still. He and Ebony had the final match. Aerial was just so happy that her team had made it so far, and she was happy that Kuro had ended up losing to one of their new friends and not someone they didn't know.

Then after the tournament, the relationship between her, Wave, and Carlisha had taken a turn and became another form of polyamorous, and everyone was dating everyone in that relationship. Carlisha had grown very fond of Aeriall due to how cute Aerial was with all the teasing, and no matter how flustered it made Aerial, she really liked it. Especially when they both teamed up on her to do the teasing. It never failed to make her smile, and blush of course. Aerial had definitely grown to love both Wave and Carlisha equally, and to know they both loved her was something that just always made her happy.

And now…

"What did you wanna talk with us about, Aerial?"

She had something she needed to tell them before they left for Beacon.

Aerial lightly smacked her cheeks with her palms to focus herself after thinking back to the past few months. "W-wellll… I kinda need to talk to you both about… me. Like everything about me."

Wave and Carlisha sat down and left a space for Aerial between them, and she sat down with them. "What is it?" Wave asked curiously.

"W-well the th-thing is…" Aerial gulped and took a deep breath, "I-I'm t-trans!"

Wave and Carlisha both looked at her in surprise. "You're… trans?" Carlisha asked in a soft voice.

Aerial nodded slowly. "Y-yeah. Male to female. S-still umm… t-taking some hormone medication f-for some stuff, but I have to keep taking that like… once a month f-for what I'm taking because yay A-Atlas medicine. I f-figured I sh-should tell you both before you went back to Beacon in a couple days, s-since I don't wanna hide it f-from you."

"And… does it make you comfortable?" Wave asked her, "Like… Are you comfortable, or getting there?"

Aerial nodded a few times. "O-oh, yeah I'm slowly g-getting there I think. I feel weird still, but… I think I always will no matter what. I'm not sure I'll ever really be fully comfortable in my body, but I'm h-happy to at least be getting closer to the body I've always felt like I should have. I think my boobs should grow more in time with the hormone medication, but… y-yeah."

"And… are your parents okay with it?" Carlisha asked this time in a much lighter tone.

"Oh, y-yeah!" Aerial answered immediately, and she smiled, "When I told them what I thought and knew about myself, they were really supportive of me. It… took them a while to get out of the habit of saying "son" and "boy"," She shook her head a bit, "but they did their best and now they say "daughter" and "girl". Thankfully mom's a pharmacist so she was able to get me the medications I needed and still need after we all did more and more research," Aerial began to grow nervous once more, "U-umm… is my v-voice okay?"

"It sounds very feminine, Aerial," Wave told her, and he gave her a smile, "I never would have guessed you were anything but a girl."

Carlisha nodded. "Right. You sound great."

Aerial breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank Light. That's always something that worries me is that I don't sound very womanly. I've always had kind of a feminine voice but I still had to train it to get it to where I think is alright. I'm really glad you both think it's good. Also, I guess you both saw me eating pickles a lot, right?"

Both of them nodded and Carlisha spoke up. "Right. I've hardly ever seen people eat pickles as much, just a couple girls back at Beacon."

"Well, th-that's because of medicine I take that lowers and suppresses testosterone, and that really messes with my sodium levels," Aerial explained, "I learned that pickles have a lot of that, so I started eating them and kinda learned to like them. If I don't keep my sodium up, I'd have to go pee a lot. And if I let it get any lower than that, well…"

"It's… not good is it?" Carlisha asked.

"Nnnope… If I let my sodium levels get too low, I can get headaches and nausea, and start throwing up. That stuff's the worst I've gotten but…" Aerial shuddered, "It could lead to seizures and… it could put me in coma."

"Oh… fuck," Wave said lowly, "You're keeping them up then, right?"

Aerial nodded quickly. "Y-yeah, I am. Haven't had any bad nausea or vomiting episodes since the months right after I started my transition. Since I told my team all of this, Kuro's really been cooking bacon every morning he can for me too so that doesn't happen again. Well, he cooks it for everyone but cooks me more, and bacon is great soooo yeah. Aaand there's a reason I'm the one that asks for jerky from April the most." She finished and laughed a bit, getting less and less nervous the more she talks.

"And you've been alright with your sodium levels lately?"

"Oh, yeah! Kuro has been making sure I keep them up since he's like the team dad and like a big brother to me now."

"That's really good to hear," Wave said and he began to hold her hand in hers, "Aerial, thank you for trusting us both with this."

Aerial gulped a bit, and her nervousness returned. "S-so… wh-what do you both think?"

"I think…" Carlisha grinned a bit and lightly took hold of her other hand, "you're still adorable. I see only the cutest, dorkiest girl here."

Wave grinned as well and kissed Aerial on the cheek. "I agree with Carli. I just see two girls sitting with me that I really grew to love. I'll do everything I can to help you feel as much of a girl as you know you are."

Carlisha nodded. "Right. Maybe I'll start pampering you a bit more…" She leaned in close to Aerial's face, "Hmmmm~?"

Aerial blushed at that. "Aaaah C-Carliii!"

Carlisha began to giggle and kissed her on the cheek. "See? Adorable~"

Aerial huffed a bit. "You're mean…"

"But you love it," Wave remarked, and he took his free hand and gave Aerial some headpats, "Is there anything else you want or need to let us know? Neither of us want to make you uncomfortable at all."

Aerial thought for a few moments before her eyes widened a bit. "O-oh, one more thing yeah. I… s-still have a b-boy's… y-y'know…"

Wave and Carlisha nodded in understanding of what she meant. "Are you gonna have them removed?" Carlisha asked.

Aerial shook her head. "N-no, I don't think so… Like I said, I think I'll always feel weird with my body no matter what, plus… I-I kinda l-like them? Does… th-that-"

"No, it doesn't sound weird." Carlisha assured her with a smile.

"And it doesn't change anything," Wave said afterward, "Penis or not, you're a girl and we both love you and accept you."

Aerial's face just lit up at hearing the acceptance from the two and she took her hands from theirs, and she pulled them both in to hug them. "Thank you both so much for listening to me and accepting me…"

Both of them easily returned her hug, both squeezing her comfortably in their arms. "I understand your worries. I mean, you've met Opal," Wave said and shuddered a bit, "I'm nothing like what she is. I don't care what she would ever think anymore. I love you, and I will do my absolute best to never make you feel bad or uncomfortable."

Carlisha nodded her head against the side of Aerial's inability agreement. "Exactly. If I ever tease you in any wrong ways, you tell me to stop and I'll immediately stop. Don't let either one of us slip up without telling us what we did wrong. I don't want to do that over and over and never know if it hurts you or makes you uncomfortable."

"I-I will... Thank you both. I love you."

"I love you too." Both Wave and Carlisha said to her at the same time, and they all sat in their embrace for several moments.

To say Aerial was happy was an immense understatement. The biggest smile grew on her face and tears or relief and happiness formed in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks soon after. She closed her eyes and took in a deep, shaky breath and let it out as evenly as she could. She couldn't wait to tell her team, and she absolutely couldn't wait to tell her parents. She knew she still had to tell each of her new friends as well, and she would one day, but for now she was just so happy to have told her boyfriend and girlfriend and to hear their acceptance and love. It was exactly what she had hoped for. She knew Wave was nothing like the mother he had disowned and broke away from recently, and she knew he would do his best for her. And she knew that Carlisha would do the same.

The only thing that sucked about this was the fact that Wave and Carlisha would be returning to Beacon soon. But around a year later her team would be transferred to Beacon academy, not that she knew at the moment though. For now though, she was just happy to be with them.
