Kim doesn't believe a word

"Is this a joke? I don't find it very funny." Kim held up her spoon in a threatening manner at you.

You rolled your eyes, stepping in. "Babe, I'm telling the truth! Look, I work at the lab, right? Someone was able to make me look like this, and I thought maybe you'd like it because I could be with you in two different ways so I could make sure your needs are met. Isn't that part of the problem with us right now, about needs? I'm willing to give up who I am for a while if it helps you and me be closer!"

Kim takes a step back, keeping her wooden spoon raised to eye level. "That's impossible. I know that's impossible. And If you were Logan then you'd know that I know that was impossible, so you can't be Logan, because you wouldn't be telling me it's not impossible if it happened!"

"...Babe, that doesn't make any sense."

"Cut it out with the babe crap!" Kim's wild eyes looked around for her phone, and when she spotted it, you stepped between her and it. The last thing you needed was Kim calling the police on you!

"Whoa, whoa, let's calm down! Look, like I said, Zoe helped me do this for you, she's a wearable suit, it's... a long story. Zoe, could you at least show her something?"

"I don't think that's wise. She's all worked up and this would probably overwhelm her." Zoe's voice rumbled quietly in your ear, as you clenched your teeth hearing Zoe deny your request. All it did was confuse Kim further, as she didn't hear any other voices that you did, and she just shook her head a little, as she tried to plan out a path to get her phone, or get out of the apartment, or something while you looked like some crazy person.

"Zoe, come on...! That's not the time for that, you need to do this or I'll find a way to take you off myself!"

Zoe hesitated, as you were getting riled up and making angry threats that, to a degree, unnerved the bodysuit on you as well. While you couldn't injure her without injuring yourself, she wasn't sure what sort of lengths you might go to if she kept you hostage in an unfamiliar form. None of the options for removing her from your body were pleasant for anyone, so she simply split her head and upper body down the middle, unfurling so your head was visible to Kim.

"Look, look, see! It's just me, Kim! It's me and this bodysuit, her name is Zoe and she's able to make me look like a woman, we designed a body that would look like me if I was a woman, and I did it so we could be together in a new way, so we wouldn't have to take a break or lose each other!"

Maybe it was the fact that you and Zoe just proved an impossibility to Kim. Maybe it was your head, showing signs that you needed a shave and messy hair, was planted atop the body of a beautiful woman. But what most likely made Kim faint on the spot was trying to reconcile the fact that your face just split apart like something out of a horror movie to reveal another face.

Zoe closed her head back around you, as you rushed forward to pick Kim up off the ground, putting her on the couch. You took the spoon from her hands, essentially disarming her as you went back to the kitchen, reducing the temperature on her lunch to simmer. You shook your head and sighed, looking out toward the couch. "I think maybe that was a bit too heavy of an approach."

"Not to say I told you so, but..." Zoe trailed off, for a moment, while you cleaned up a bit more. "Still, consider that if you had just brought me here as a separate person, Kim would've probably had a different sort of fit, thinking you'd found someone else." Zoe paused, since that was a scenario she still secretly hoped for, but she wasn't ruthless enough to go through with anything like that. Her best shot was to show you all the support she could. "And then to prove anything, I still would've had to split open and it would've likely made her faint again. I'm pretty used to that response, when I'm not fully sealed I can look pretty grotesque. If I could choose, I'd stay wrapped around someone for as long as possible to just minimize the shock. It's my nature, but it's a nature that I have to balance with how I interact with humans."

You kicked your shoes off, deciding to stay put in the apartment until Kim wakes up to try another round of explanations. "It's not your fault. I panicked. I thought she was going to see who I became and then she'd just fall in love again. With, uh, you and me as a team."

You sat in a chair opposite the couch, staring at the **** Kim, thinking. "Do you think we'll be able to convince her of anything when she wakes up?"

"You could try, or... I could wrap around her while she's asleep. I could copy her appearance exactly, she wouldn't even know I was there. And then, I could do a variety of things that might benefit both you and her. I could simply observe while she does her normal routine so I could tell you how to better please her, or I could whisper suggestions in her ear, or I have some very minor influence over a body that I could trigger for her, because one of the few influences I have on a body even if I can't move it is arousal... when she sees you, and if I see you, and I get excited, she'd feel it like it was her own excitement."

You thought for a bit. "Interesting, but, how could you talk to me if you were on her to help me?"

You felt a tingle on your arm, and you looked at it, just as a tattoo of words seemed to form on your skin: Easier than you might think!
