"why can't i just be like the other boys.why must i be transgender. why must i be gay. why?" he sobbed.he traced his fingers along his binder.he wiped his tears off of his face.he thought back to when he had to leave his house...

back to the present

gray sat on the floor, sobbing hard.he wasn't wearing a shirt only his binder and shorts. "no one's gonna love me.Ever." he sobbed.he wiped his tears off of his face, walking over to the sink. washing his face off with water, he realised how puffy his eyes were. he let out a sigh. 'todays gonna be a long day.'

gray changed into his uniform and covered his sore,red eyes with some makeup. he walked down the stairs into the throne room, taking his place next to eret.he tried his best to cover his eyes,not wanting to be asked about it.

"greetings knight." eret greeted him. she noticed grays eyes being slightly puffy but decided against asking him.

"greetings your majesty." he bowed.his voice quivered. he clenched his fist and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Gray kept strangely quiet the rest of the day,concerning Eret. "gray,are you alright? you seem a little down." he questioned the knight.Gray just nodded his head in response.Eret's features hardened, bothered by the fact he didn't respond.

Eret stood up and walked over to gray, towering over the boy who was only 5'6 ft. they bent down and grabbed his chin, making him look her straight in the eyes. " i demand you to tell me what's wrong. not as your friend, as your king." he demanded.

Gray flushed pink, stumbling for words. nobody had ever cared for him enough to bother. "uh-uhm- bad day your majesty." he replied.Eret let go of his chin, sitting back down on his throne. he adjusted his crown and continued with his duties.
