room 216 ; saturday morning

[necroslacker]

Yeah, so Sam had woken up with girl parts. Fortunately, he wasn't gonna have a screaming fit of surprise. Unfortunately, he was also contemplating just sleeping this weirdness away so he didn't have to deal with anything that might be coming at him from certain parties. Of course, this plan was hindered by the fact that he didn't really sleep at all in the first place and meant he was more just acting like a lazy ass instead of sleeping.

This body was weird. It was smaller and softer and there were...things that he was used to touching, not having. He was curious about what his back looked like, if he'd kept those scars or not but he wasn't so curious as to try and look.

Nope. Sam was in bed, swimming in his clothes and trying to keep his longer hair out of his eyes. This island had a crappy sense of humor sometimes. He didn't want to be a girl, he didn't know how to be a girl.

And now he was a girl. Sigh.

[Door's closed but the post is open, definitely! I totally didn't forget this at first!]

"I've seen girls before, Samhain," Natalie replied as she opened the door and slipped in. "Especially today."

[necroslacker]

One day, Sam was gonna ask her why she really seemed to like his full name. Not today though.

"Yeah, I'm not stupid, thanks, but I more meant me as a girl," he pointed out. "That's new."

[whenshewasnice]

It was just fun to say.

"And like I said," she replied, as she drifted closer to his bed, head slightly tilted, "I've already seen a lot of people in your condition today. Like half a dozen of them in a common room."

[necroslacker]

"And it's not different because it's me?" Sam asked, a little curious if she was classifying him in the same category as all other guys who looked like girls.

[whenshewasnice]

Natalie stopped right by his bed. "It's different." It was. It was weirder, too. Technically, she had a girlfriend right now. "But it's nothing to freak out over."

Not much, anyway. Not visibly.

[necroslacker]

"Do I look like I'm freaking out?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm actually fine. Just...resigned."

[whenshewasnice]

"Nothing for me to freak out over," Natalie clarified. "You told me not to be alarmed, remember?"

[necroslacker]

"Right, right," Sam said, waving a hand and shrugging. "Congrats on not freaking out. I didn't expect you to anyway."

[whenshewasnice]

"Good," she replied, not with any particular emotion, though her voice was a bit softer when she continued. "I can go if you'd rather wait this out on your own or something."

That came mostly from how she'd felt when she'd been in an unfamiliar body, honest.

[necroslacker]

"You don't have to go anywhere," Sam told her, shaking his head. "I just don't wanna...I don't know, it's weird, I know. You're used to me as a guy and if you wanna wait till I get back to that, it's cool."

[whenshewasnice]

"It's weird," Natalie agreed. It was. But, she did take a seat on the edge of his bed, now. Slowly. "Guess I can stay a while and see about cultivating an atmosphere of confused sexual tension. Or something."

[necroslacker]

"Nat, you honestly don't have to stay if you're uncomfortable," Sam said, sighing. Her words combined with how slowly she'd just taken a seat just made him wonder if she was staying to be nice or something.

[whenshewasnice]

Natalie rarely did things just to be nice.

She suppressed a sigh of her own and turned more towards him, reaching for one of his hands. Even if it was so much more like hers at the moment. "I was just talking to Tara about this weekend yesterday."

[necroslacker]

"Did you have some plans or something?" Sam asked, letting her take his hand though he didn't know what to do with this. It was a combination of unfamiliar to him body parts and not knowing if it'd be too weird if he held her hand.

[whenshewasnice]

"No." Her touch was lighter than usual, more tentative. Still, she gave his hand a little squeeze. "We were talking about how it's not always a good idea to make weekend plans here because... well, things happen."

[necroslacker]

"Yeah, I guess," he said, shrugging and watching her hand around his. "It's not a big deal, there'll be other weekends and this'll go away."

[whenshewasnice]

"I know." It was one of the few things she was sure of at the moment, even. She shrugged, lightly. "And I didn't even make any plans."

[necroslacker]

"Well, guess nothing was ruined by the transformations then," Sam said unless he was missing something she wasn't saying which was possible.

[whenshewasnice]

"No," Natalie agreed. If only because 'hanging out with the boyfriend with possible makeouts and cuddling' had never been an actual plan. Not that she was sure that was entirely out of the question even now, but things were weird. "Nothing ruined."

[necroslacker]

"And yet, you don't seem okay," Sam pointed out, glancing at her. "What's the matter?"

[whenshewasnice]

"Nothing," she claimed, though not particularly vehemently. "This is just weird. I would like for it not to be."

[necroslacker]

"It's gonna be weird until I change back," he sighed, closing his eyes to avoid seeing any expression she might make about this. "Sorry. Wish there was more I could do."

[whenshewasnice]

"Mm," Natalie said, and fell silent for a while The urge to flop down next to him and just pretend she could hide from everything was strangely strong when you considered where the anxiety she was trying to keep at bay was coming from.

When had she started relying on boyfriend comfort, she wondered?

[necroslacker]

Yep, this was just nice and weird. He could feel the anxiety and he could read it which didn't very much help.

He squeezed his eyes shut and was just happy she wasn't scared of him.

[whenshewasnice]

For the moment, the flopping down urge won out. She let go of his hand and lay herself down next to him with a sigh.

She knew this was a risk. She knew she wanted a hug or something, and she knew she was going to fail to ask for that, and she knew there was more than a small chance that he wasn't going to dare to touch her like that when she was like this.

But she didn't want to just get up and leave.
