take me back to the night we met: part two

I let go of my dad and hold hands with Karashi. He holds my hand and hangs his arm around my neck. We walk down into the car parking where his car is and we start the engine and drive off to his house. We sit in silence and I plug in my earphones. I look through my photos and and find the video of my 17th birthday. The way Mora had smiled in the video like nothing was wrong. I should have asked her. 

It probably took me months to smile again and by the time it was the chase atlantic concert. I was so excited about this concert and I couldn't sleep. It was only a night before the concert. I stay up late so I can get up early for the concert. I was taking my dad along as I needed to bond with him. 

After an hour of driving we reach the concert ground and the air is tense. I was dressed in a tight black body top and some cargo shorts. I also had my piercings in. We waited for about another half hour and the chase atlantic members rolled into the parking lots in their car. I need mitchell cave's signature and so in the crowd I push my way and hold out a pen and paper.

He notices and signs it. My dad was squealing. It was his dream to go to their concert. It was ten minutes before we were allowed into the concert grounds. As soon as well were let in me and my dad rushed to the front lines where the barriers were. The drums started banging and the speakers yelled out

"GIVE IT UP TO CHASE ATLANTIC!!!"

The first song was drugs & money and it was wild, and following behind friends which I think bursted out my eardrums not from the music but from the screams of the crowd. The concert was a vibe. The last song was slow down. I managed to hand a bracelet to mitchell and he slides it onto his wrist. 

It was a dream come true. The concert ends after 3 hours. The atmosphere was crazy outside as well. People wouldn't shut up about the songs. I post my videos of the concert and send them to my other dad Bakugou. He sends a cat with hearts emoji. It was absolute fire. I swore I could have died when I saw mitchell come onto the stage. He was so close to me as well. After the concert only the VIP's could have a meet and greet and take photos with the celebrities. 

We were third in the line when it was my turn I instantly whipped out an autograph pad and an calligraphy marker. I get each of their signatures and write down 27/3/49 as the date and next to it I write "such a vibe concert". It takes is another three hours to get home and when I do, I pin the signatures on my corkboard. I upload my videos to Instagram and TikTok. I take photo's of the signatures and upload them to instagram.

Time flies by, and my parents go out. Karashi comes home from school. When I see him in the house and he notices me, he slams me against the wall of the entryway and kisses me roughly. "I can't even string words when I'm near you Kimi" he said nuzzling his neck in mine. I blush.

"Also y'know what day it is?" he said. "Oh my fucking god how did I forget-" I said. "Happy 2nd anniversary" he said. And with that he get's on one knee. I fall silent. He also pulls out a gold ring. "Ummm will you be my boyfriend?" he said covering his face. I don't even hesitate and slide the ring onto my ring finger before kissing him. "I'm taking that as a yes" he said kissing back.

When he said boyfriend I knew I was going to cut my hair short. I couldn't care what girls at my school would say but fuck them. I'm transgender, and I'm proud of it. I walk into the bathroom after a while and grab a pair of scissors.

I shave the underside of my head and snip away the long bits. I walk out the bathroom after thirty minutes. The short hair was going to feel weird after having long hair for years.

I walk back into the bathroom, and then look around. I see brown hairdye in the corner and dye my undershave with it. After washing my hair out and drying it it becomes and brown and blonde fluffy mess. I comb it back into its original form and walk out of the bathroom.

Karashi was in the living room scrolling through his phone and drinking iced tea and when he sees me he nearly chokes himself to death on his iced tea. "Any words?" I sigh. "Hot" he said. I feel my face heat up. "I'm proud of you. You're gonna show those bitches who is who as a trans girl." he said.

"Thanks, but what do you think my parents are gonna say about it." I said. "They'll be fine I'm sure. If i cut my hair my dad Kirishima would kill me, he loves my white and red long hair" he said. "Sad." I sigh and then sit next to him and rest my head on his shoulder. He ruffles my newly cut hair and then stops as I fall asleep on his lap.
