Purple.

[This is the most humiliating thing that's ever happened to him. Well, maybe not the most humiliating, but it certainly ranks in the top five. And not humiliating because there's something inherently humiliating in being a woman, but... Hyun is jogging through the living quarters as fast as he can, holding one arm over his chest and tugging up his pants with the other. Every few feet, he has to loudly puff the hair from his face.]

Rhea. Rhea. [He's glancing from side to side nervously.] Rhea? [He knocks lightly on the door to their room with his knee. When that doesn't work, he swings a hip into it and bites down on a curse.] Rhea! I need a bra.

[rightest]

What? [Reading glasses askew and a book of what looks like Latin under her arm, Rhea pulls open the door. There's Hyun, but his voice is different. But she's sure it's him...something's off.

Head cocked, she looks at his chest first. Them her eyes drop to his hips and then she looks up at the ceiling and lets out a small 'hm' sound. She's good at hiding it, but it's entirely possible that 'hm' is just a noise she's making to keep herself from laughing until she passes out. Either way it takes her a little while to actually say (straight-faced):] You played with the powders, didn't you?

[She opens the door wide and points to a chest of drawers.] I have a fine selection of...undergarments in the top drawer. They may not fit...would you like me to, er, well, I have a tape measure somewhere...

[likeaplasticbag]

Just... don't. [He's on edge, doing his very best not to freak out because, from all accounts, this is only temporary. It's nothing he can't deal with. Still, Hyun's mood isn't that great. He goes to the armoire and rips off his shirt before rummaging through said undergarments.

As he tugs a bra on, hands fumbling behind his back, he mutters] Thanks. I... didn't know how floppy they could be. Even small ones... [There is no way this bra will ever fit, but he keeps trying to pull it tight.] Could you tie it in a bow or something?

[He's seen the ship swallow up messes before. Why is he still standing here?]

i just noticed i used the wrong journal oops let's continue and pretend i meant to do that

[rightest]

I can give it a shot, but it might be better to just...get a new one from the synthesiser.

[Still, she tries, pulling it tight and trying to tie it for him. Considering the day-to-day basics of life on a spaceship, this isn't too weird. Objectively speaking. Subjectively speaking, she's tying a bra around her boyfriend's new breasts.] I can run out and get one for you...

[likeaplasticbag]

No. Thanks. You don't have to... [He goes to flop face first onto the bed.] I'll just stay here until it wears off [Hyun mumbles into the bedspread. He lifts his chin a second later and scowls.] Why do we even have that powder?

[rightest]

[She sits next to him on the bed and then lies down on her front next to him, a hand rubbing his back.] I don't know. I guess the living spaceship gets bored. I think you're beautiful. If that helps.

[likeaplasticbag]

[He looks away, then puts his face onto his forearm. He wants to say it does help but he's just so off-base that nothing comes out. So he just nods, then turns a little so that his face isn't entirely hidden.

Hyun puts his hand on Rhea's arm and half-smiles.]

Can't be prettier than you, though.

[rightest]

[She leaves her hand on his back and buries her face in her arms momentarily, before coming up with a smile. She kisses him on the nose.] Smooth.

[Rhea rolls onto her side, so she's better positioned to hold him, rests her arm over his body.] If you need anything, just send me out to get it. If you want anything...I'll grab it for you. Otherwise, we can just stay here, as long as you want to. Okay?

[likeaplasticbag]

You know it.

[Hyun nods slightly and scoots a bit closer to Rhea. He gives a short laugh, then a sigh.] Pretty good excuse to just be lazy, I guess. [Rationalization is the easiest pathway to go down at the moment. He is, well, he is fairly certain that his gender doesn't dictate his personality, but it is still a rather disarming change.

Tentatively, he kisses Rhea on the cheek.] Thanks for being... understanding.

[rightest]

Well, I love you. [The scooting is nice. She uses her other arm to cushion her head and smiles at him, pulling him close with her other arm.] I mean, understanding, that's all part of love, right?

[She smiles at him. She sort of wants to work out who's taller than who. And who has bigger hands. Who has bigger feet? Instead, she kisses Hyun on the forehead.] You're very handsome, still. But I'd love you, whatever form you were in.

[likeaplasticbag]

[Hyun closes his eyes and gives a wide grin. Honestly, he doesn't know how to parse love into separate parts, he just knows when he feels it. And he feels it now.]

Yeah? [he opens one eye and smirks up at Rhea.] Wait til I accidentally drink the powder that turns me into an eight foot tall octopus. You're gonna eat those words then, Jones.

[rightest]

[She's enjoying this. Hyun is soft and warm, and it's nice to have him next to her. It feels...right. She feels...complete. Now she knows that the form of her boyfriend doesn't matter. It's his soul.] If you accidentally turned yourself into an eight foot tall octopus, I would remain your devoted partner. We would have a loving, but, alas, sexless, relationship. A lot of hugs, though.

[likeaplasticbag]

Yeah? [he laughs.] Like eight hugs at one time. Or four, I guess. [The 'sexless' comment makes him pause. Is it... not sexless now? He's never questioned Rhea about her sexuality cause it really doesn't matter. As long as they like each other, well, they're golden. Hyun scratches at his nose and smiles.]

I never, um... I never asked you. 'Cause, yknow, doesn't really matter. Only now it does. A little. But... do you like girls?

[rightest]

Maybe eight one armed hugs. [She touches his arm playfully.

The question comes as a surprise to her only because she realises suddenly that it's something she's never told him. Why haven't they talked about it? Ah. Because it was never that necessary to discuss it.] Oh! Yeah. I do.

[likeaplasticbag]

Jesus Christ, I'm just getting used to being a woman. I can't cope with being an octopus just yet. [Hyun laughs and rolls his eyes.]

[He gets a bit more serious at her answer and nods. Then it doesn't matter if this is permanent. They can be together. With his eyes averted and a small smile on his lips, he nods.] Good to hear. As long as I can be with you... I don't care what I look like.

[rightest]

Ha-ha. [Whatever. If he holds her to that octopus thing - she'd stick by him. She always would.]

I'll always stay with you. [She gently touches her lips to his lips.] No matter what you look like. Cuz I'm in love with you.

[likeaplasticbag]

[He kisses her back, then gives a small sigh into Rhea's lips.]

You can't say stuff like that to me. Cause... I want to marry you, and weddings are expensive. [He widens his eyes and pouts a bit.] Gay weddings are probably more expensive.

[rightest]

[That made her smile so hard it felt like her face was about to fall off. She touched his leg with one of her feet, grinned at him and the universe in general.]

Yeah...but...what about space weddings? [Gay space weddings?]

Youd'

[likeaplasticbag]

Maybe space weddings get you a discount? [He widens his eyes and gives a shrug. It might work...]

You'd marry me, though? It's... not the best way to propose, but I can get down on one knee if you want?

[rightest]

I would. [Rhea reaches down and takes his hands and kisses them.] Of course I would. You're my favourite person in all the world. I'd marry you a million times over.

[likeaplasticbag]

[He smiles and lowers his head, then murmurs] Gay. [A second later, he shakes his head and says] Bad joke. Bad joke.

I'm, um, I'm glad. That you'll marry me. 'Cause I wanna marry you. Even like this. And we're... well, we're a super hot couple. Probably hotter this way. Not a joke, but still probably not the right thing to say... Sorry.

[rightest]

You're lucky you're cute... [But she kisses him on the mouth anyway. Hyun is her very own problematic fave.]

We're always a super cute couple. [She reaches down to touch and hold his hands.] We can get married now, if you want. We'll order a priest from the synthesiser and hold a ceremony in the library.

[likeaplasticbag]

[Hyun smiles into the kiss and shrugs.]

We can probably just get a marriage certificate. Easier than fishing a whole priest out the synthesizer, y'know...

[He purses his lips and hides his face in the crook of Rhea's neck.] But we will need a cake. A good one.

[rightest]

Yeah like...six layers... [okay, maybe not six, but she gets the feeling her boyfriend - her fiancé? Did that just happen? - would approve.

She strokes his hair, ruffles it a little while he's busy hiding against her.] I'm excited. I'd like to be Mrs Tae.
