((Tim is trans in this. I've never really written a trans character before, but I have a few trans friends. I apologize if anything comes out offensive, please correct me if I get anything wrong. Tim gets really dysphoric and Brian is the only one who knows. The other two find out and they support and love him. It also isn't super obbiouw that they all fall for one another...just kinda one of those hidden things.))

Tim had always been different. He knew he was different but he didn't want anyone else to know. Brian only knew on accident because he had walked in on Tim getting dressed and saw his chest binder.

That was, of course, before Tim was able to afford testosterone. Brian helped him out as much as he could, which Tim appreciated. He had made Brian promise to keep it to himself...he didn't really want to deal with the questions or ridicule.

But, sometimes, Mother Nature is a bitch. Tim knew he couldn't skip rehearsal for Marble Hornets for a whole week...but he could barely move with his cramps.
He thought if any excuse but found none that wouldn't be suspicious. Brian even offered to lie for him, but Tim insisted on going. He didn't want Jay and Alex to get suspicious.

He came in, just close to half an hour late. He felt like shit. His cramps were being extra horrible and he was certain the universe hated him.

What part of 'no one can know but Brian' didn't the world understand?

He made his way to the couch, plopping down and groaning. He hurt. Everything hurt. Life sucked.
Brian knew and looked at him sympathetically, but didn't say a word.

Jay and Alex both looked at Brian, wondering why Tim was acting so weird. He wasn't even wearing his jacket, it was tied around his waist. They turned to see if Brian would explain, but he avoided their gazes.
He had no right to tell them. Tim asked him not to anyways.

"Hey...Tim, you okay?" Jay asked. Tim just nodded, "I'm fine, my body just aches a bit right now." he said, reading over the script. Jay just nodded a bit, not pushing it any further.
They started rehearsing lines, going through things that should be added and things that should be taken out.

Tim tensed, squeezing his legs together and letting out a sound of discomfort. "I'll be right back." he said quickly, jumping up and going to the bathroom.
Brian watched him, seeing the other two look extremely concerned. "Is he okay?" Alex asked.

Brian nodded, "He just ate something bad I think." he said. He felt bad for lying, but Tim begged him to not talk.
Jay raised an eyebrow, "Its weird. He gets like this every month...maybe he should see a doctor." he said. Brian was praying they wouldn't put two and two together.

Alex nodded a bit. He stood up, "I'm going to check on him." "I'll go with you." Jay said, standing up as well.
Brian jumped up, "Wait!" he said quickly. Both of his friends looked at him, wondering if he was losing it. "Er...you should give him some space. You know how he is..." he said softly.

Alex rolled his eyes, "Yeah we do know how he is, but he isn't normally like this. We both want to make sure he is okay." he said sternly, walking towards the bathroom.
Brian was panicked. He didn't know how to stop them. He didn't want them to find out.

Alex knocked on the bathroom door, "Tim? Are you okay in there?" he asked.
They could hear fumbling and lots of loud movements, "Y-Yeah! I'm fine!" he said. He knew Brian had tried to stop them.

"You don't sound fine. Should we come in there?" Jay asked. "No!" Tim said a little too loudly, "Please don't come in!"
Brian sighed, "Guys, you should really give him a few minutes..." he said. He felt horrible for Tim. The other two sighed and went back to sit down, talking about random things while Brian waited by the door for Tim.

After a few minutes, Tim stepped out. He had extra horrible cramps and wanted to curl up and die. Brian rubbed his back, "Now you know to not go to that one place again, huh?" he asked, winking a bit so Tim knew it was a lie so the others wouldn't find out.
Tim smiled softly and groaned, "Yeah...Oof." he said, making his way back and sitting down.

Unfortunately, his bag he had brought over decided to fall over and spill it's contents all over the floor.

Including his pads.

Tim looked horrified, rushing to pick it all up and stuff it back into his bags. He was nearly in tears, he knew they saw.

Alex looked at Jay and Brian, still very confused. "Were those-"
"No!!" Tim interrupted, shoving it deep into his bag and fighting back tears. "Are you-" before Jay could even finish Tim interuppted him. "NO! Just drop it!" he said, snatching his bag up and storming outside.

Brian got up and followed him, ignoring the other two and just going to make sure Tim was okay.
Tim was outside, curled against the wall and sobbing into his arms with his knees curled to his chest.
Brian knelt down, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Tim? Are you okay?" he asked. Tim sniffled and looked up, "No! They didn't know, Brian! They didn't know and I fucked it up! Now they know that I'm not even a guy! They are gonna think I'm a freak!" he cried.

Brian hugged him, trying to reassure and calm him down. Whole they were talking, Jay and Alex made their way outside. They both wanted to see if Tim was okay as well.
"Tim?" Jay asked.

Brian felt Tim flinch in his arms. He smiled a bit at them, knowing they just wanted to know what was going on.
"Are you okay?" Alex asked, him and Jay sitting down next to Tim.

Tim just sighed, lifting his head up. His eyes were swollen, red, and puffy. "Yeah...no...I don't know. I just...didn't really want you guys to find out. I know, I'm weird and actually just a girl pretending to be a guy and I totally get it if you guys don't want anything else to do with me." he rambled.

Alex and Jay smiled at eachother and hugged Tim and Brian, squishing them in a group hug.
"Tim...biologically a guy or not, you are still the same Tim to us." Jay said with a smile.
Tim smiled, tearing up and sniffling softly. He wrapped all of them into a big hug and chuckled, "I love you dorks..."

After their long group hug, they went inside to take a break and watch some movies and eat some snacks.
The rest of the evening consisted with Jay and Alex asking Tim if there were certain things he needed more than anything. Tim really did love them all...and they loved him just as much.
