“How... how do you deal with tranasphobia...?” he worried. 

“Well... most cases I just shrug off. But I have beaten up a few transphobes.” I nodded. “I got assaulted most when I began my transition. Half the attackers were people I knew and confided in.” he dropped his gaze. “It’s scary, being Trans. But Kade has a loving partner who cares for him. He'll be just fine.” I smiled. “Self-defense- he should beat those fuckers up.”  

“Heh,” he scoffed. “Kade’s kind. He didn’t want to hurt his friends-” 

“Sometimes you gotta stab your friends.” I shrugged.  

“I’m not sure I wanna be your friend-!” he squeaked. 

“I already hurt you, don’t worry.” I pushed off from the counter. “Well, thank you for your hospitality. Please let me know how he’s doing.”  

“Ah, no, thank you for everything, Hys.” he smiled. “Take care, yeah?” 

“Hm, you as well.” I grabbed my helmet, walking to the door.  

“You ride?” he asked. 

“Yes.” I nodded.  

“Be safe then.” he huffed. 

“I will.” I hummed as I walked down the stairs. “Have a good day,” I waved over my shoulder. 

I put my helmet and gloves on, securing the loose helmet to the seat and sped off.
