Recovery

Montage Build-Up and Reveal of HRT Conflict

The next few days are more than a little awkward as Seb tries to nurse you back to health, It doesn't quite go how you expect but it is sweet.

"We'll wait to start a most things until your better but at the least we can start with the simple things." Seb says as you are laying down with foot elevated and a tray of healthy snacks next to you.

"like what?" *munch*

"Well for one, we are getting rid of your guy ... everything." He was clearly bracing.

" Ok, Will be a bit before I can replace them tho. Want to take me shopping for some of them? I think I can hobble around if you let me lean on you."

His stress deflates, "Nope, well at least not yet, I've ordered replacements for small amounts of everything, we can finish rounding things out later."

"You can't really afford that right? I can slowly replace things bit by bit ya know."

"I can actually, do you think looking this hot and masc is cheap for a trans guy like me? My family is well off. So chill, guys buy their girl stuff all the time when they can afford to."

"So what am I doing then, don't get me wrong I'm super grateful you've been taking care of me, but I'm getting bored and I've not gotten to hit the gym or anything in that time."

"We are going to be cleaning out your old stuff and putting away everything that I got you!" He tries to end with excitement.

Its basically just chores at that point tho and its later that night when your both done, you were able to move around a decent amount and are sure you'll be able to go about your businesses by the weekend. Hitting the Gym is going to be a bit awkward but worth it, "I need to rework my work out, want to join me this weekend?"

"Sure but are you ready for that? I was thinking a walk around campus holding in street clothes. Not full work out date while in fem clothes."

"I still need to pick a new set of those up anyways and was going to do that before hand, you can come then too, but its been too long since my last work out I need to burn off some restless energy. Besides the first time in there in fem is never not going to be a bit awkward, the gym has been basically my second home for while, I went from scrawny and weak to fit with these people, got more than a few texts from them about when I'm coming back. Showing up as a chick and with a boyfriend... better to bite the bullet and get it over with."

"Do you think any of them will make an issue out of it?"

"I hope not, but even then I know I will get some jokes about 'ruining' all my hard work, But I mean its not like I was working out to join the lift team or anything I was just trying to look more fit, I'll still be in shape even if I go from strength training to endurance running and yoga."

"Why those two?"

"Well I already have more muscle than most girl but I don't want to lose it, so turning it into lean flexible muscle is my best bet, going to a fit androgynous body shape and it can be dressed up to be fem without much work."

"I was just going to talk about going on walks and such to go with a more balanced diet but it sounds like you have put a decent amount of thought into this. At least the work out parts."

"Yeah, diet was not really my favorite part but maxing out protein intake and letting extra workout time cover all my food flavored sins probably won't work here..."

"I'll cover getting that sorted, I already have to remind you to eat with your pills so why not."

"Isn't that supposed to be the girls job? Making food for their Man?"

"Not in my culture, or at least its not as stereotyped."

"Fair, so this weekend?"

"Sure"

After that the week went alright, I got back on my feet and was able to go about my business pretty soon, no one really commented on me being in fem cut jeans and t-shirt, if they even noticed at all, nor did they about me taking better care of my face and hair, or at least my attempts to, making new habits was hard even with help.

Before I knew it the weekend was here.

Goal: new work out clothes, maybe a a few other garments if we got distracted, also a cinnabon.

"This isn't so bad, I could get used to a gentleman like yourself treating me right." It was a bit of a joke but it was nice.

"Just be glad I'm a classy guy." he responds with smile as he opens the door and offers an arm.

The smell of the cinnabon calls to me as soon as the doors open, but I steal my nerves, that is the reward for later, right now we are on a mission.

...That apparently Seb is in charge us as he leads us through the mall.

"we'll get you some shoes first then bottom and top, new gym bag of course, and if your up for it some more dayly clothes, can't stay in just jeans forever babe."

"Can't I?"

"Do you think jean alone will catch anyone's eye."

"With how many dead lifts I do? Absolutely, but sure we can try to ramp things up a bit."

Its with good nature we go through the stores pick out a black and red Sports bra, tank top, leggings, and shorts. A cute pair of running shoes.

Its about the time we are done paying that I notice I've been growing used to leaning into him and generally enjoying his presence, I didn't expect to dislike being around him more, but I didn't expect to like it this much.

"Now goes the reward!"

"Wa?" is all he can say as I drag him away, I get a wink and a smirk from the cashier, it would only be much later I would figure out what she though I was rewarding him with, it would make me blush and have a brain shut down. But for now its time for my reward for doing all this.

"This is what you meant by reward??" He finally gets out once we and seated with two cinnabons.

"Absolutely, what better way to end a shopping trip than a sweet treat you can really savor?"

"Nothing I'm sure." He smirks and takes a bite.
