Soulmates always find each other 2

My old name is unimportant for your knowledge about me. I did not went through surgery yet but I don’t see why you should know that about me, I don’t ask for your bra size or penis length either, right? I did not choose my name either, I was given a name by someone who’s very important too me. No, I did not find a therapist right away, and no I’m not confused. No I am not lesbian, I think I might be gay or pan but I tend to say I don’t label myself but according to Mario Kart and my character choice being Toad I am bi.’

“Ilay, what are you writing?” Emerson asks as he sits down, six feet apart from me to keep the distance. “365 days.” I say, reading over my previously written down words. “I didn’t really like the movie, not sure why. What are you writing about it?” The hazelnut haired boy asks. “No, it’s not about the movie, I haven’t seen it yet. Today it’s been 365 days since the first lock down started and now we are still six feet apart, human beings are murdered everyday, I am still illegal in 72 countries and I’ve now got ‘Panic Room’ and ‘Mad at Disney’ stuck in my head for almost a year.” I look up and into my friends eyes. Emerson seems confused about my speech as it seems. He’s frowning a bit, his bottom lip sucked in between his teeth. “And I’m not sure what’s it going to be but I’m writing down what’s wandering around my brain.” I add and he started me nodding, more to himself looking down and back up again. “Sounds good, I guess. Is the Pizza shop at the corner open?” He asks, his lips forming a smile as he sees me nodding my head. “Wanna go grab some?” I look at him and get up. “Count me in sir!” I laugh a little and take my MacBook inside. “Em, do you want a jacket, the temperature’s starting to go down and we have to wait outside.” I ask him and he mumbles a yes please whilst staring at his phone smiling and then typing a short text. “Josefine?” I ask as I’m taking one of my oversized Jeans jackets off the hook and throw it at him. He’s catching it, grinning and nodding. “I’ll see her later. I brought flowers and all sort of cute things and if she’s relaxed enough we’ll do it later.“ He’s blushing slightly and now it’s my turn to grin. “Use protection or I’ll get a shoe and your ass will be black and blue!” I laugh and Emerson’s cheeks turn into a even darker shade of red. “Oh, I will! I got massaging oil, fake candles so nothing can be set on fire, her favorite flowers, condoms, lube and in case she’s not comfortable with being naked I brought a light shirt of mine that she could wear if she’d want too. And since it’s her first time I brought, I a packed a towel as well, no need to make her comfortable with blood stains on her bed. Do you think that’s too much? She’s read ‘After’ and I don’t want her to feel like I’ll pull something like that guy?” I smile at him as we walk down the street, slowly. “No, actually, I think it’s perfect. And I doubt she’ll think about that, especially after knowing that you are totally different to him.” I still smile and Emerson seems too relax a little.
