a doctor who offers to help you transition — kind, patient, saying all the things you’ve always wanted to hear. he looks at you and sees you in a way nobody else ever has. not like you’re confused or broken or just pretending. not like you’re some project to be fixed.
he sees you as a boy. immediately, unquestioningly, fully.
it’s intoxicating. it’s disarming. it’s what you’ve always wanted.
and then you wake up somewhere unfamiliar. wrists strapped to the bed, head pounding, heart racing.
he’s there, smiling down at you with a gentle hand stroking your hair. “shh, it’s alright,” he murmurs, like he’s soothing a scared animal. “this is just part of the process. you’re safe now. you’re mine.”
he keeps you in his basement — away from the world that never really wanted you anyway. he gives you your hormones like clockwork, praises every small change in your body like it’s a miracle.
he treats you like the boy you are, even when he strips you bare and makes you kneel.
you fight at first. cry, scream, beg. but he’s patient. methodical. he puts you in no-win situations, setting traps you can’t avoid, forcing you to come crawling back to him every time.
each loss peels another layer off you until eventually, you stop struggling.
you start looking for his approval.
you start feeling proud when he calls you good boy.
he’s made himself your whole world — your caretaker, your captor, your god.
and deep down, even through the fear, a part of you aches with relief.
someone finally sees you.
someone finally loves you exactly the way you are.
even if it means belonging to him forever.
