In Aogiri there’s only a couple of the younger ones that Ayato gets along with, but there’s one who’s a trans girl who’s he’s extremely protective of, and when they have free time to where what they want, she’s nervous to wear a summer dress because she’s nervous she’ll look like a boy, until Ayato walks through with Hinami, both in big party twirly skirts (naturally he wore black)

“Ayato, you have to be the encouragement you want to see.” Hinami bops him on his nose. 

“H-h-how?” he stammers. 

Hinami grins with an uncharacteristically wicked smile.

Two hours later

She’s the age Ayato was when he joined Aogiri. Only she’s joined Goat instead, and wants both humans and ghouls to cooperate.

She knows she’s on the right path, but she keeps getting stuck because of her body.

Because she wants to mold her body the way No Face molds his, but she isn’t talented enough, and like hell is any doctor going to help her. Besides, she’s a ghoul, and surgeries can be difficult to take.

Still, she watches Touka saunter past in a party dress that almost disguises her protruding stomach. And Miza, in a flowing skirt. And she yearns to join them.

“Hey, [name], come join us.” Ayato’s voice cuts through her ruminations.

She turns around and her mouth drops in surprise. Hinami and Ayato walk past, he in a twirly black skirt, she in a pink one.

“We got a blue one for you. Or, really, Hina did,” Ayato admits. His face is red, but hey, skirts are surprisingly comfortable.

She bursts into delighted laughter. If Ayato Kirishima can wear skirts, so can she. “Where is it?”
