The class had gone by insanely fast. The second the bell rang, Searchlight packed their stuff up and quickly left the room. Feather followed closely behind. Searchlight stopped walking near their locker, their head tilted down. "What's wrong?" Feather asked, placing a gentle hand on their shoulder. "Uhm... I have something that I kind of... maybe forgot to tell you," Searchlight mumbled, avoiding eye contact. "What is it?" Feather wrapped his arm around their shoulders, his hand resting comfortably on their chest. "Er..." they hesitated for a moment, still desperately avoiding eye contact, "y'know how I got top surgery?" "Yeah? What about it?" Feather tilted his head slightly to get a better look at their face. Their skin was pale, and their eyes looked genuinely mortified, though he didn't comment on it. "Um. I'm getting bottom and voice surgery soon, as well." Feather paused for a moment, taking a second to just process what they said. "Okay," he said, nodding slowly, "yeah. Of course. As long as it makes you happy." Searchlight finally looked up at him, their eyes filled with hope. "Really?" they asked. "Yeah, of course. I'm here for you." He laughed softly, kissing them on the cheek. "I love you. You know that, doll." They closed their eyes, wrapping their arm around his waist. "I love you, too." <<TIMESKIP, both of them had just gotten home from school>> Searchlight huffed as they flopped onto the couch, instantly rolling onto their side. "Well, someone's tired," Feather teased lightly, carefully sitting down next to them, gently ruffling their hair, earning a soft whine from Searchlight. "Shaddup," they mumbled, too tired to form coherent words. Feather laughed softly, tilting his head slightly. "Oh, is the poor baby all tired from their first day at school?" "Shuddup." Feather laid down beside them, wrapping his arms around their waist from behind, spooning them. "Love you." "Love you too," Searchlight mumbled.
