Hi. [a cody carson x transguy!reader fanfic]

ch. 4 - talking

i'm sorry about what happened. -luket

It's okay. I saw your panic, were you really alright? -cc

alright enough. i have a hard time,, speaking, sometimes. that's what the post its are for. -luket

Thanks for telling me about that, I was nervous to ask, it seemed personal. -cc

it is personal... but okay. we're dating now, so... -luket

Yeah. So I can call you my boyfriend now, right? -cc

uh,, about that. i... that's kinda what the hand holding was about too... -luket

Oh. Are you okay with talking about it yet? -cc

i think so. texting is easy. -luket

Okay. Just know that you can be honest about anything! -cc

thanks... -luket
so, i looked at your band... you have quite the following. -luket

Yeah, I told you, we're growing! What does that have to do with this? -cc

i don't want you to tell anyone about me. no one seems to know you're even into guys and... -luket

And? -cc

i'm not, a real guy... what i'm saying is, it'll look bad on you. and your band. i don't want that happening. -luket

You're confusing me on multiple levels right now. You're not a real guy? You seemed pretty real when I saw and touched you, Lukey. What? -cc
Also, I doubt it'd look bad. I don't want homophobes following Set It Off anyway. -cc
Can I call you? -cc

... i guess. just, i'll hang up if i need to. -luket

[Incoming Call: Cody Carson💚]

"Hey..." Luke whispers. "Hey baby. Can you explain what you mean, please? I really wasn't following over text." Cody's concerned voice sounds through the phone. "I... I guess. Just... will you promise you won't hang up?" "I won't hang up on you, baby."

"I-I-I- I'm trans-" Luke mutters. "Oh..." A surprised tone tints Cody's voice now. Some silence falls as Cody processes this while Luke is eating himself up on the inside. "That's okay. I'm just... a little surprised. I don't mind, though. I'm bi anyway. Not that you're a girl. I just mean, it doesn't matter to me what you are." He eventually explains, making Luke smile a little bit. "T-thanks." "But what does that matter? You're still my boyfriend. I just... I don't see what you mean." Cody sounds kind of confused still. "I don't want to ruin your reputation by showing everyone you're dating a transguy. Believe me, it will make people hate you, Set It Off... I just... I wanna keep it between us. It's what I was thinking when you wanted to hold my hand. What if someone that knew you was out there? They would've seen." Luke rambles on, trying to convey what he means. "Okay... Okay, if that's what you want. But I assure you, it would be okay." "Just please... you're making me anxious thinking about it, Cody." Luke sighs to himself. "I won't tell, promise, okay? Don't worry, please." Cody puts on a calm and caring voice when he hears Luke talking about getting anxious. "Okay, okay. I just... we should be like this for a while. I do wanna see you again." Luke confirms, making Cody smile on the other end. "Good. I wanna see you too, baby. What about on Sunday?" "Sunday is okay. Can we like, watch some Netflix or something?" "Ooh, Netflix and Chill already?" A snicker comes through the phone. "No! God, Fuck you Cody!" Luke exclaims, making Cody grin again. "Oh, like you could! Everyone can see that you're a bottom from miles away, mister." Luke flushes bright red. He's glad Cody isn't here now. "S-shut it, C-Codes... I'm not e-even t-that bad... right?" "You might as well wear a choker with BOTTOM on it in bold letters, baby." Cody chuckles. Suddenly the line goes dead.

asshole. -luket
