Sorry about the long delay, I needed to sort out some stuff. I still want to continue this series and I'm trying to get back on a regular rhythm of updates. As always, ratings and helpful comments are much appreciated!
"So, I sent this mail, in which I explain the situation and request a change of my name in the documents," Ro said. "And I sent this other mail in which I tell my teachers about my name and pronouns. But I feel like a fraud."
"Why's that?" Moss asked.
It was early evening, and the two were on the way back home from self-defense class. A while back, Ro and Moss had discovered that they had a part of the way in common, so they usually walked together.
"I don't know," Ro said. "I just feel silly asking people to address me with a name I've chosen for myself."
"Lots of folks do," Moss commented.
"I know, I know," Ro said. "It's just that my name is so obviously a self-chosen name. I somehow feel like this makes a difference."
Moss gave a small grin. "I know that feeling."
"Alina and Laura have both read the mails and encouraged me to send them. They pointed out that the university has acknowledged a right for transgender students to have their names changed. But I just feel like they don't see the whole picture. Like, I know they love me and want what's best to me but sometimes I feel like they don't understand what it's like for me. What's at stake for me. There is something about this which I cannot get across regardless of how supportive and understanding they are."
"Because they're cis?" Moss asked.
"Yeah," Ro answered reluctantly.
Moss sighed. "I have made the same experience," they said. "Some things about our experience, our struggles remain incomprehensible to cis folks. And you need to acknowledge that it doesn't have to do anything with whether or not they love you. I'm sure they're trying and they mean well. That's frustrating but you will have to accept that. The sooner you do, the better."
The two walked in silence for a bit.
"I wish I was like you, Moss," Ro said. "You're so chill and confident. You don't care about what other people think."
Moss laughed. "Believe it took me quite a while to get there. I'm sure you will be like this one day."
"You think so?" Ro asked skeptically.
"Yes," Moss answered emphatically. "Wanna know why? Because I was like you once. It's a journey, Ro, and you have begun to take the first steps. If folks are ahead of you, that's just because they departed earlier, not because they are better than you."
Again, Ro did not answer but walked in silence next to Moss until they reached the corner where they usually parted ways. They stopped and stood for a moment.
"Get home safe, Ro," Moss said.
"You too," Ro answered. "And thanks for the talk."
Moss smiled. "Any time, Ro. And not just on the way back from training. Just text me or give me a call."
Ro smiled back. "Thanks, I appreciate it."
They hugged and then went their separate ways.
"You seem absent, Ro. What's on your mind?"
"I'm sorry, is it my turn?" Ro shook their head and forced themself to focus on the board again while they tried to remember the strategy they and Alina had discussed for the co-op board game they were playing.
"It is," Alina confirmed and Ro browsed through their cards to decide which one to play best.
"So, what's on your mind?" Alina repeated.
"It's just... I'm not sure it was the right idea to send these mails to uni administration and my teachers," Ro answered and played a card from their hand.
"But you said you were upset that you'd have to go by a name you don't longer feel is yours," Alina replied.
"And I am," Ro affirmed. "I don't know. Maybe it's because there was some safety in being out only with people who are close to me. If everyone in uni knows, I have no control about how they react."
Alina nodded slowly. "I understand that. But it's too late now anyways." She played a card from her hand and placed two figures on the board.
The doorbell rang.
Alina got up from her chair. "I'll get it. Make your move." She went to the door while Ro studied the board and their cards. The situation was dire, and they saw no way to improve it. After thinking about possible moves for a few moments, they decided on one, played another card an moved the figures Alina had put on the board. Then they waited for her to return.
She came back after a minute, holding a parcel in her hand. She approached the table and frowned.
"What is it?" Ro asked.
"You maneuvered us into an insoluble situation," she answered and gestured at the board. "We lose the game in two moves. Four maximum."
Ro took a closer look and saw that she was right. "Sorry, my mind is elsewhere, apparently."
"Yeah, I noticed. Don't bother, I might have just the right thing." She waved the parcel.
"What is it?" Ro wanted to know.
Instead of giving an explanation, Alina just said "Follow me."
They went upstairs where Alina headed right for Laura's room. She opened the door and entered.
"What's up?" asked Laura, looking up from the book she had been reading.
"Stand," Alina demanded.
Laura looked at her, confused.
"I said stand," Alina demanded again, with more firmness in her voice.
Laura's eyes widened and she immediately put away the book and got off the chair, facing her girlfriend.
Alina raised the hand in which she still held the parcel. "It's still two weeks until Christmas," she began. "But the two of you are lucky. Your presents have arrived early."
Ro's heartbeat increased as they wondered what Alina had planned this time.
"Strip naked, Laura," Alina continued.
Ro watched Laura taking off her sweater and pants. She opened her bra and tossed it aside, revealing her lush breasts dotted with freckles. She made a move to pull down her panties but Alina interrupted her. "Turn around."
Laura obeyed and turned her back towards the two.
"Bend over," Alina instructed her. "Then remove your panties."
Laura bent over and grabbed the upper hem of her purple panties. When she pulled it down, she exposed her round butt cheeks, and Ro caught a glimpse of her pussy between her legs.
"Good girl," said Alina who, in the meantime, had opened the parcel. "Get back up an come over here."
Laura approached her slowly. Alina took a plastic bag out of the parcel and handed it to her. She put the box aside and said: "Go to the bathroom and open it. Inside you will find an object and some instructions on how to use it and how to prepare for its use. Do whatever you need to prepare but under no circumstances are you allowed to use it. You will bring it back to me. Understood?"
"Understood," Laura replied, took the bag from Alina's hand an left the room.
"What do you have planned?" asked Ro whose curiosity had gotten the upper hand. Alina turned her face to them and she shot them a domme glance that usually was reserved for Laura. "I will reveal my plans the moment I deem fit, and not a second earlier, do you understand?"
Ro shuddered with a strange and exciting mixture of nervousness and arousal, and hastily said "Yes, I understand."
It didn't take long until Laura came back. She held the object Alina had mentioned in her hand, and when Ro recognized it, their throat went dry.
It was a golden butt plug.
When Laura stood in front of Alina, she took it back and pushed the tip against Laura's lips. Laura understood and opened her mouth. Alina began to shift it back and forth in Laura's mouth and rotated it. "That's good," she murmured. "Make it all wet."
Ro's member grew stiff as they watched the display continuing for a bit. Then, Alina was satisfied. She pulled her hand back and raised the golden butt plug which glistened with her girlfriend's saliva. "Get on the bed. On your fours. Turn your back towards us."
Laura crawled on the bed and propped herself up on her hands and knees. She raised her pelvis so that her ass was up in the air. Alina went over to her and slapped her butt cheek. "Do you like your gift?"
"Yes, I like it," Laura answered with a slight tremble in her voice.
Alina led the butt plug glide over Laura's folds. "Am I not a generous mistress?"
"Yes, you are a generous mistress," Laura gasped. "I am so grateful."
"As you should," said Alina and slapped her other butt cheek. She ran the tip of the butt plug over Laura's perineum and pushed it against her sphincter ever so gently. "Do you want to receive my gift the way it is intended?"
"Yes, please!" Laura exclaimed breathlessly.
"Merry Christmas," Alina said and pushed the toy into Laura's anus.
Laura jerked and gave a little scream of arousal.
"On your knees," Alina ordered her. "Face me."
Laura turned around and sat on her heels with her legs spread. Her cheeks were rosy, and she was breathing heavily.
"Ro," said Alina.
"Erm, yes?" they asked, caught off guard.
"Undress me."
