"It feels like that was so long ago. I'v made so many mistakes and been such an idiot. I'm sorry Belle."
He sighed.
"I... honestly do not know. I had started to like being Jeanne, started to accept her as me, and as my life, my fate. Now, I have to start over, with everything that I have been, and yet. I am Julien... I... need time, I guess. To think and to... figure out who the hell I am anymore."
He rubbed his face, and touched hers.
"You are my sister, and I dearly love you."
He blushed then.
"Thank you for being the best sister any man could ever want or have."
Real familial love shone there in his eyes, as well as attraction, but it was new, and tender and he was tired now. And he looked down. Then started.
"Ah, I apologize."
He was hard, even in this stupid situation. Even if it was rather small, it was evident.
"Damn body."
He coughed.
"Ah... I just realized... now I really do need to go shopping."
Something like a giggle, almost hysterical, burst out of his lips.
