Backdated to Gender-Switch- For Sam

[thethirdwonder]

When Cassie woke up as a boy, again, after freaking out with and then calming down Cissie, she knew there was one thing that she had to do for the next few days.

Avoid Sam like the plague.

She had good reason too after all! Last time, Kon had barely been able to look at her, so she’d gotten completely drunk and ended up getting kissed by her gay friend. None of that was anything she wanted to repeat so avoiding Sam it was. Cassie kinda felt bad, because it wasn’t Sam’s fault, but she figured better safe than sorry. She’d make it up to him later.

Granted, even as a boy, who was taller and a bit heavier in stature then she normally was, her identity was kinda given away by the Golden Retriever with the rainbow collar following her on her morning jog. A Golden who normally wanted nothing to do with anything male.

“I know you’re not.” Cassie said softly. And she really did.

It was just…being a boy was against everything she was. She was Wonder Girl, adopted Amazon and little sister of the Amazon Princess. It was hard for her to be this way and Kon’s reaction had just made it worse. There was a good chance she would have hidden either way but it was easier to use the incident with Kon was an excuse.

When Sam walked out of the water, Cassie kept her eyes on the sand by his feet. “I am sorry. I hate this…when the island messes with us like this.”

"I know, but we don't have to let it mess with us," he said, gesturing back and forth between the two of them to indicate what he meant.

"You're still you in the ways that really count. And I cannot believe I'm saying that because I really liked the parts of you that got changed, but it's true. Everything I liked about you most is still the same."

Cassie couldn't help it. She smiled. She couldn't believe how lucky she was have to such a great and understanding guy, who dealt with all her hang ups in ways Kon and Chekov never could. "I really want to kiss you right now but I hope you won't hold it against me if I don't."

"Oh good," Sam said with a sigh of relief. "Because I was totally building up the courage to kiss you just to prove how okay I was with this, but I am seriously okay with not doing that."

It wasn't that he was afraid he would suddenly turn gay if he kissed Cassie as a guy, or that he'd end up liking it or anything, it would just be too much like kissing someone else.

Cassie held up her hands and then motioned for Sam to walk with her. "Oh no. I can't let you do that. I should tell you a story, about when I did kiss a boy last time this happened."

She wanted to take his hand but she refrained, instead putting them in the pockets of her shorts, kept from the last time this happened. "A gay friend of mine wasn't effected last time this happened and his friends from home held a party. I was so miserable that I went and got completely drunk. My friend, Eric, wanted to take a walk and while we were walking, he kissed me. Apparently, I was the perfect boy to him."

Cassie shrugged with a small smile. "Needless to say, it didn't end well."

"You will seriously just kiss anyone and anything if you're not sober, won't you," Sam teased. He knew that it was a serous subject, but he really couldn't help it.

"I'm sorry though, that must have been difficult for you and really put a strain on the relationship."

"Hey! He kissed me!" Cassie said defensively, even as she smiled. That had been the one thing about the whole situation Kon had taken well, though she heard from Eric that there had been some posturing later on.

Then she shrugged. "It all ended up being okay in the end thankfully. But yeah, still not up for repeating it. I'd like to be myself when I kiss my boyfriend."

"I really prefer you to be yourself too," Sam admitted. Just because he would have gone through with it doesn't mean he would have enjoyed it, or that he wouldn't have freaked out about it later.
