If there was something Noel wanted to help his boyfriend with, it would be getting rid of his gender dysphoria for good. And yet, there seemed to be little to do to actually fulfill that promise of his. It hurt him inside to watch his boyfriend suffer just because of a 'mistake' made by whatever god or deity was out there to decide that he should be a girl, not a boy. Well fuck them then, Noel would go to the ends of the world to see his boyfriend smiling and be happy with his own body, just the way he liked it.

But for now, Noel had to do the small things to make him feel better, even for a moment.

Which included their current predicament.

Noel noticed that his boyfriend had started to shower less and started to apply a mixture of deodorant and perfume to hide the potential stench from everyone around him, including Noel. And he knew it was most likely because of gender dysphoria again.

"We meet again, my old nemesis." Noel thought to himself as he sat across from his boyfriend, watching him silently eat his food. Noel was currently trying to think of a way to encourage his boyfriend to take a shower on a regular basis again, until one finally came to mind. Maybe that'll work.

"Hey, I was thinking. We've been together for almost two years already. Do you think you want to take a shower with me? If it's too much for you, we can try to do it in the dark." Noel suggested before he took a bite of his own meal, trying to gauge his boyfriend's feelings about taking a shower with him, hoping that it would be a positive one so that he could actually help.
