"One of these times I hope we will see you as a male."
Jon laughed. "With lunchtime after art class? Not likely."
Mike laughed along. Jacob did not smile, but he did not take his eyes off of Jon.
"So what's the story here?" Mike said, taking a bite of his burger.
"Turns out Tanya over there," Jon pointed to another table. Tanya caught his eye and blew him a kiss. "Turns out she's a Star Wars nerd. We spend a lot of time working on each other in art class. I'm not sure how much we're actually learning about art right now, but I have a feeling the pencils they give us help us put our ideas to the paper. I can't draw normally, but somehow I managed to give her that outfit."
"Do you enjoy being played with like this?" Mike was interested.
"Sure, it's fun. Plus I might as well start to get used to female forms, seeing as I'll have one of my own by the end of the school."
Jacob spoke up. "That," he said in his deep accent. "I do not understand."
"I don't either, to be honest," Jon said. "I don't know if I will."
"But you will have sex," Jacob stopped. "with a man."
"Well... I already have." Mike and Jacob looked at him. "Well, I mean, with myself I guess, but it still counts. I've had multiple penises in my various vaginas, and it's only the third day. It was pretty startling at first, but all the girls are so accepting here, and I've never done anything that made me feel uncomfortable. I guess I was just made for this."
Jacob looked thoughtful. "But would you have sex with a man."
Jon looked at him quizzically.
Mike interjected. "I think what he means is, you've had sex with women with penises and women in your own body. But what about other men?
Jon looked thoughtful. "That's a good question. I mean, I didn't consider myself gay or anything before all this, but look what I've done. What I am right now. And yeah, I guess that's the end goal of all this right?"
Jon stopped. "I honestly don't know. I guess it depends on who it is and the trust that's built in. I trust all the girls in my dorm implicitly. With guys it's different." He looked up. "We'll see I guess."
Mike nodded. Jacob looked as if he had another question, but let it go.
Jon spoke up again. "What about you two? Would you have sex with a woman who you know used to be a man?"
Neither boy answered. Jon was surprised to see Jacob speak up first.
"If I had not known who you were when you sat down here, I would have liked to have sex with you."
"But you do know."
"Yes."
"So?"
"I do not know."
Jon smiled, but Jacob did not. Mike sat back and watched the two: a large Russian man and a blue petite fictional character, having a serious discussion about sexuality.
Mike shook his head, smiling. "That my friends, is why I think we are here."
