One day, my best friend suddenly turned into a sickly girl from the TS

After parting with Yoru, I returned home, still not fully grasping the reality of our new relationship. But Yoru’s lonely expression when we said goodbye… yes, it was incredibly endearing. It made me think maybe this is what love feels like.

“Mom.”

“What is it?”

“I’m… going out with Yoru now.”

“Oh, is that so? Then bring her over again, okay? I have so much I want to talk about♪”

…Yeah, that’s just like my mom.

Yoru also mentioned she’d talk to her aunt and uncle about us. Eventually, I’ll have to “…Phew.”

Who would’ve thought my first girlfriend would be Yoru, who used to be a guy… Despite the complexity of the situation, I had no regrets. I wanted to be with her… or rather, with him.

“Mom, I’m going to take a bath.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

While a tinge of anxiety lingered about what the future held, my anticipation for the days ahead with Yoru far outweighed it.

As I basked in the excitement of a new daily routine, Yoru felt the significance of the present moment even more profoundly. Her best friend, who had always been by her side, sincerely expressed unwavering support. Yoru had truly fallen in love with me.

◇

“…Ah… Yuki… I love you… I really do.♪”

Her voice, sweeter than it had ever been as a man, leaked out involuntarily.

After parting from me, Yoru had gone straight home. When she told her parents about dating me, their surprise soon gave way to relief, having already come to terms with Yoru’s transformation into a woman.

Only the person experiencing it can truly understand the change from man to woman. Thus, her parents could never fully grasp her suffering. But the emergence of a lover who could truly be her pillar of support was genuinely joyous for them.

“…I wonder what Yuki is doing right now.”

She had transformed her perception of the disease into something positive.

The despair and suffering she had initially felt were gone. Now, her heart was filled with gratitude for the fateful connection to the man she loved.

“…Darn it♪ , I’ve become so… affectionate just thinking about Yuki.♪”

Her heart wouldn’t stop fluttering, even though it felt wrong.

Yoru was acutely aware that not only her feelings but even her body was yearning for me. She longed for a deeper connection, but a last shred of rationality held her back, not wanting to trouble me. However, Yoru knew ways to release these overwhelming emotions.

“I’ll give myself to Yuki someday… everything about me… you’ll accept it all, right?”

In her room, Yoru locked the door and wrapped herself in blankets, careful not to let her voice escape as she comforted her body. Focused solely on her beloved man, she whispered her love for him before drifting off to sleep.

It’s often said that the body influences the mind. Yoru was a perfect example of this. Her feelings of friendship for Yuki, from when she was a man, transformed into something entirely different — love — after her body became female. The once strong company morphed into an immense and profound love.

But it wasn’t strange. When Yoru was at her weakest, Yuki’s words had been her salvation. More than just a beacon of hope, they shattered the despair that threatened to enclose her.

“Man or woman, it doesn’t change anything.”

“I’ll always be by your side.”

“I’m your friend, after all.♪”

These thoughts lingered in her mind, but the barrier of being Yuki’s friend and her past as a man held her back. However, when Yuki accepted her as a woman, it was as if a dam had burst open.

Nothing could stop Yoru now. Her love, unchecked by any barrier, was overwhelming.

“Yuki… my Yuki♪”

Her hands, kneading something terrifyingly soft, didn’t stop. Her fingers, exploring uncharted territory, didn’t halt. All that Yoru thought about was Yuki, the only man for her.

“…Ehehe… ahahaha♪”

A whirlwind of emotions spiraled within her.

As Yuki’s friend, she wanted to support him forever. As his girlfriend, she wanted to be his pillar, body and soul. As his woman, she yearned to be loved endlessly… To whisper a deep, unwavering love as the woman chosen by him.

She wanted to drown with him in a deep love that felt like sinking into an abyss… That was Yoru’s wish.

That day, everything had indeed changed.

A man became aware of his feelings, and a former man was reborn truly as a woman.

Embracing the new everyday life awaited them, he and she held a one-way ticket to an inescapable labyrinth of love.

“Good morning, Yuki.♪”

“…Yoru?”

Their mornings began with seeing each other’s faces, as boyfriend and girlfriend.

As Yoru watched Yuki rub his eyes, still groggy from sleep, she thought it was adorable and murmured,

“You’re all mine… And I am yours alone.♪”

Their morning began with these whispers of love.
