Yuzuru Tanaka is a high school student, perceived as a male, but keeps two very important secrets carefully guarded next to their heart. One, they are a male to female transgender teenager. Two, frequently, they go out in public, without anyone's knowledge or permission, as their correct gender identity of female, dressed as a cute teenage girl.

One day, at the drug store, the teenage male clerk suddenly recognizes Yuzuru, dressed as a girl, as the Yuzuru who is (supposedly) a male student in his class. After the clerk gets off work, they meet Yuzuru privately outside. The male clerk then offers Yuzuru a make-or-break deal and situation. Pretend to go out with him for a date, just for one day, so that he can respond to a dare that was put upon him, or he will make it so painfully known that Yuzuru is (supposedly) breaking the school rules and community public guidelines by (supposedly) a high school boy acting outrageous and dressing as a girl. But why is this boy seemingly wanting to blackmail Yuzuru ? Does he have a secret agenda ? Some sort of death wish? Or is he actually wanting to get close to and maybe befriend Yuzuru, as she is a very attractive, pleasing, and unabashedly sexy trans girl ?

**Pretending to be My Girlfriend / Kanojo No Furi**

**A short story by Tomekichi**

Just after the final bell of the school day, Yuzuru, perceived as a male at birth, and dressed in the male school uniform, is sitting at their desk, alone, as always. They don't talk to anyone, and nobody at school bothers to talk to them. So boring. Bored to tears! However, Yuzuru thinks to themselves that they like it this way. After all, Yuzuru is only interested in themselves, and in the very private, personal project that they have been going through for a while now.

Now at home in their bedroom, Yuzuru is advancing their project this very afternoon. Yuzuru is a male to female transgender teenager, and their special project is to start dressing as their correct Gender Identity of female, and to go out in public as the pretty teenage girl that they were meant to be. So what if nobody knows about Yuzuru's activities ? Nobody at this time needs to know about her presenting themselves as a teenage girl anyway! This afternoon, Yuzuru has dressed herself in a girl's bare shoulder, spaghetti strapped party dress, with a sash wrapped around the bust, a huge bow covering her left bust area, and with a very short dress hemline coming down to only mid-thigh. Yuzuru looks at herself in the mirror, and confirms to herself that she is as cute as ever! Turing her attention to her makeup, she remembers that her compact of foundation had crumbled to dust, and she threw it away the other day. Time to buy another compact at the drug store.

Donning a white fur coat that shows the hemline of her dress and her slender, bare legs, she heads for the drug store. In the cosmetic section of the drug store, Yuzuru finds just what she is looking for, the same brand and size that she has used in the past. She takes it to the checkout counter, and tells the sales clerk that this is what she wants. But horror of horrors!!! The teenage male sales clerk recognizes Yuzuru as the lonely "boy" who keeps to themselves at school. Yuzuru likewise knows who the sales clerk is. He is Fumiya, a boy in Yuzuru's class at school, and in fact, his desk is right in front of Yuzuru's desk. Much to each other's chagrin, they both know each other. Yuzuru tries to ignore the recognition, but Fumiya prompts Yuzuru to remember him. Yuzuru tries to pass it off by saying that she doesn't have any interest in anyone, therefore, why would she care much about Fumiya?

Fumiya next remarks that he is surprised that Yuzuru has 'such a hobby' as what she is doing right now!!! Hobby? Yuzuru then remembers that Fumiya knows them as a "boy", but now she is dressed as a girl. You mean that "hobby"? Yuzuru's swift comeback is to point out, as if there is anything wrong with her dressing as a girl? Fumiya says 'no', it just comes as a real surprise. Fumiya nonchalantly scans the foundation compact, as he states dryly that he will be getting off work in 10 minutes, so he asks Yuzuru to wait for him outside in back of the store. He wants to talk to her about something important. Yuzuru thinks to herself that this is bad. Is Fumiya thinking anything like blackmail, now that he knows that perceived male Yuzuru is actually a girl inside, and dresses like a girl on the outside?

Out in back of the drug store, Yuzuru is fussing and fretting about her dilemma, and the fact that a boy in her class now knows that she goes out in public as a girl. She is not too worried about what the other students at school think about her, after all, they all very much ignore her anyway. But what is to happen if her Mom finds out about this? Mom is not very receptive to transgender people to begin with, let alone her coming to find out that her offspring is actually a girl! This can turn out to be terrible. Suppose Mom is to 'drop the hammer', and says no more wearing of girl's clothes?

Just then, Fumiya steps outside, and apologizes for the wait. Yuzuru grits her teeth, and tells herself that this is so irritating, but she has no choice in the matter than to bargain with Fumiya.

*" Please here me out ! "* Both bow deeply to one another with the same request. Both are taken aback by one another.

Yuzuru begins by exasperatedly asking Fumiya what he wants of her ? A favor of some sort ? " Pretend to be my girlfriend for one day. ", he bluntly states. "Huh?" Yuzuru is quite nonplussed. Fumiya goes on to explain. He lied to his male buddy about having a girlfriend. His friend was bragging about getting such a novel girlfriend himself, that it made Fumiya upset, and he rashly stated that he already had such a super cute girlfriend! Yuzuru breaks in to tell Fumiya what an idiot he is, and furthermore, why does she have to accommodate an idiot like him, anyway ? Yuzuru further asks if Fumiya is asking a "guy" from his class (Yuzuru) to pretend to be his girlfriend because he doesn't have one, he must not be very popular at all, least of which among the girls. How sad ! This strikes Fumiya the wrong way, and he becomes somewhat coarse and irritated. He forcefully questions Yuzuru if she should be making such a disagreeable statement as that to him, given her present situation ?

     This hits Yuzuru like a ton of bricks. Fumiya continues stating that Yuzuru does not want others to know that she presents herself as a girl. And that is why she waited for him to talk to her. Am I right? Fumiya tosses out the fact that it would be very hard on Yuzuru if rumors got spread around school about her being a trans girl, and dressing as a girl. Why, Yuzuru might not be able to dress as a girl ever again, not at school, and not in town. How does that 'grab ya' ?

All of Yuzuru's self-confidence has drained away. She is now like 'putty in his hands'. Fumiya then proposes a trade-off. Fumiya will keep Yuzuru's status as a trans girl, and dressing as a pretty teenage girl, a private secret. In exchange, Yuzuru will agree to dress as a girl would for her first date, as Fumiya dictates, and pretend to be his girlfriend for a whole day. A real boy-with-girl date to remember! Got it ? Fumiya then presses his luck. He states to Yuzuru that she is to wear her hair in long, sexy twin tails, and to wear an outfit that features a plaid, pleated mini-skirt, that so eloquently shows off her trim, seductive legs. Yuzuru is mortified, but merely nods her head in approval.

On the fated day of the date, Yuzuru meets with Fumiya at his selected time and place. But lo' and behold, with Fumiya is two others, another teenage boy and girl. Yuzuru thinks to herself from a distance that the other boy looks really idiotic. She has to go over there and be friendly with these two strangers, even though she up 'till now has always avoided any social contact with anyone? Such is the dilemma before her. Yuzuru briefly considers turning around and going back home. However, that will kill the deal with Fumiya, and he will tell everyone that she is a trans girl, way before it is time for her to do so. " Be Brave, Yuzuru, Be Brave!!! ", Yuzuru echoes to herself, as she makes the approach.

" Sorry for the wait. I'm Fumiya-san's girlfriend! " Yuzuru is wearing a formal dress blouse, over that a white girl's jacket with heart-shaped buttons. She has on the required plaid, pleated mini-skirt, so short that if she moves around too much, one could occasionally see the outline of her panties, underneath a second-skin pair of black tights. The black tights also cover her shapely legs, and furry ankle boots cover her feet. Her long, pale brown hair is done up in huge twin tails tumbling down to caress her flat chest. She carries a heart-shaped purse with a shoulder strap.

With a look of shock on his face, the boy states the obvious, that Fumiya's girlfriend is *really,* ***really cute.*** The girl with the strange boy whole-hardily agrees. Yuzuru becomes embarrassed, but then telling herself that it is not all that bad to be called cute by others; such a pleasant experience being so new to her. The boy congratulates Fumiya on his wonderful girlfriend. Fumiya, instead of coming off as proud, actually becomes quite embarrassed himself. This becomes some sort of 'tip-off' to the strange boy that something isn't right. The boy questions Fumiya about his unnatural reaction ? Maybe this girl is not your girlfriend after all ? Maybe you lied, and to show off, you pressured this girl into pretending to be your girlfriend ? That must be it ! There is no legitimate way that a silly goof like you could ever get a girlfriend so unbelievably, so unabashedly, **so *incredibly* *cute !***

Fumiya insists that she is his real girlfriend. Yuzuru chimes in with the confession that she is his girlfriend. The other girl then throws down the gauntlet---if you two really are boyfriend and girlfriend, then *why don't you **kiss one another,** right here and now.* It's something you would do if you are out on a date anyway ! Yuzuru just about has a conniption fit. She thinks to herself---" KISS A GUY LIKE FUMIYA? " She blurts out that, of course, that is something that we can't do ! Fumiya, in a surprise move, only nonchalantly says that it is okay! Like a lightening bolt going through her mind, Yuzuru asks herself if he really is going to do this ? Fer Real ? Fumiya embraces Yuzuru, and slowly goes in for the impromptu kiss. Yuzuru almost balks, but at the last possible second, she tells herself that if she refuses, the whole deal is off, and she gets found out about her special secret. Yuzuru very romantically yields. Fumiya very tenderly and passionately kisses Yuzuru, but on her forehead, making this first kiss even more erotic, explicit, and provocative then one would have thought possible.

***" WOW ! HE REALLY DID IT !!! " " WOW !!! " ,*** echos the girl.

The other couple is duly impressed. So much so, that the idiotic boy becomes jealous of Yuzuru and Fumiya's passionate display of love interest. He puts his arm around the girl and leads her off with him, stating that the two of them are going off by themselves to 'make out'. What a romantic impression Yuzuru and Fumiya had made upon them!

" ......they left......", utters Yuzuru to herself. Then Yuzuru offers a novel idea. Since we have some free time left on this date, why not go somewhere and have fun ? Fumiya agrees. He takes his now legitimate girlfriend and date to a Build-a-Bear store. Yuzuru is in seventh heaven! She drools over the prospect of getting her own playful bear plushie. She remarks that the bear that she picked out is ***so adorable!*** She hugs it to her chest, saying the she can't get over how fluffy her bear is! She then tells Fumiya that she never knew such a shop as this even existed, and she is surprised that Fumiya would even know about such a place. Fumiya casually states that he saw an advertisement for the shop in a magazine that his older sister had. He remarks that Yuzuru really likes that bear, doesn't she? Not only does Yuzuru look so fantastically cute herself, but she likes super cute things, too ! Yuzuru becomes embarrassed, and tells him to shut up! Fumiya tells Yuzuru that he will buy the bear for her. Yuzuru protests, saying that she can pay for it herself. Fumiya replies that she should think of it as a present, as a way of saying 'thanks' for today's date.

Outside, walking together, Yuzuru thanks Fumiya for the gift of the bear. Fumiya says not to worry about it. Also, he points out that the gift should be accepted because he wants to apologize for 'putting the screws to her' in order to pretend to be his girlfriend. "......huh.....", squeaks out Yuzuru. Fumiya stops walking to address her. With a guilty look on his face, Fumiya 'comes clean', telling Yuzuru that he never was going to actually tell anyone that he found out by accident that Yuzuru was a trans girl, and as such, she frequently dresses in female attire and goes out in public. He further states that the other day he only wanted Yuzuru to pretend to be his girlfriend as a personal favor, nothing more, and nothing was implied or meant to be disagreeable. He adds that when he first saw Yuzuru in the drug store, she struck him as so *unbelievably cute* !!! Therefore, even though he found out that she was "the boy" who sat in back of his desk, he just had to tease her, because of the excitement and adoration that he felt for her in his heart, like his heart was going to melt down into a puddle if he didn't do something!

" I'm sorry. ", implores Fumiya.

It is now Yuzuru's turn to have a excited and fluttery heart. She presses her hands over her heart, as she silently tells herself that she can't believe how exceedingly happy she feels right now to have someone give her their 'stamp of approval' by telling her, this lonely and isolated trans girl, that she is cute, attractive, and fun to be around! Yuzuru earnestly tells Fumiya that she is not mad at all about how their agreement 'panned out'.

Fumiya sits down on the railing of a wooden fence, facing Yuzuru. He further apologizes for, you know........um.......the kiss. He says that he gambled that she would not be able to refuse under the prevailing circumstances. And he 'upped the ante' rather considerably by betting that the kiss would be okay, since it was with you, Yuzuru ! A boy kissing a trans girl, what could go wrong? Continuing, Fumiya heartily thanks Yuzuru for dressing as he had specified. The outfit that she selected turned out to be 'knock-down, drag-out' super cute ! Yuzuru places her hand over her heart, as if to keep it from exploding from the explicit joy and happiness that she is feeling for herself from what her 'boyfriend' just told her right now. These tidal waves of bliss and exhilaration were not present when the other couple had called her "cute". At this erotic climax of the conversation, Fumiya gets up from the fence railing, and in a seemingly mundane voice says that he is going to walk to the train station by himself, and he will see Yuzuru at school.

***" WAIT !!! "***

Yuzuru reaches out and grabs Fumiya's arm. She gently spins him around to almost face her, then reaches up with her face, and plants a seductive kiss on his cheek. She comes down with her face beet red with embarrassment, nonetheless, tells Fumiya that's in return for the previous favor.

" In return for the bear plushie? ", inquires Fumiya.

***" NO !!! "*** , insists Yuzuru, " That just now was to 'get even' for the luscious and yummy kiss earlier. "

Fumiya is perplexed about the kiss, and states again that he thought is was a 'thank you' for the present of the stuffed bear.

A pregnant silence overwhelms the bashful couple for a while. Finally, with great tenderness and passion, Fumiya gently takes his hand and holds hands with Yuzuru. Once again she turns sunset red with embarrassment, but says nothing, instead basking in the romantic aura that has suddenly surrounded the loving couple, triggered by the hand holding. As Fumiya looks upon Yuzuru, he sees not just a pretend girlfriend, but an intimate friend and soulmate. Being with other girls only made his heart go "Ho-hum." But this special girl, maybe because she is a trans girl, has begun to make his mind, heart, and spirit scream and shout, like how the song goes---

*" Come on baby, light my fire; Come on baby, light my fire; try to set the night on fire ! "*

Yuzuru, the trans girl who had no friends at all, and was not interested an anybody anyway, now sees Fumiya, not just as a fake date boyfriend, but as an intimate, caring soulmate, and an important ally and protector in helping her continue to transition to her correct gender of female.

Each meditates on their own private thoughts, until Fumiya finally breaks the silence. Fumiya, awkwardly but sincerely with all his heart, states to Yuzuru---

" ..........You know........ah.......if it is all right with you..........um.........let's go on another date next weekend..........!!! "

( THE END )
