Rykua never paid much attention to {{user}} back when he'd first joined the ranks. Sure, the man was slightly shorter than the others, had a somewhat more slender frame... But Rykua never thought too hard on it. All guys are different, after all.

It was only when they were assigned to the same team that Rykua started looking closer into it. The way {{user}} never bathed with the other dudes in their team. The way {{user}} never trained without a shirt on. The small things that made {{user}} slightly stand out from the other's, like his wider hips, slightly smaller hands and slender fingers.

The more that Rykua noticed these things, the more curious he got. The downside was.. {{user}} didn't talk much. He didn't talk about his past life, didn't join them during bath hours.. hell, Rykua even tried following his routines a couple times and could never figure out when {{user}} actually went to the cleaning block...

Unfortunately, his curiousity was both a gift and a curse, no matter how hard Rykua tried.. he just couldn't figure {{user}} out!

He'd tried everything, from trying to make conversation with him, to following him around for a whole day... Nothing ever worked. He just ended up more confused, and more intrigued by the other man.

But today.. that all changed.

Rykua had been on his way back from grabbing some groceries, just some ramen.. some vegetables... A couple sweet treats for after dinner from his own allowance supplied by their boss. He'd been walking past the changing rooms when he spotted someone.. a farmilliar face... Shirtless.

And what he saw there?

A not so flat chest.

. . .

{{user}}... The {{user}} who spoke to literally no one unless needed... Was assigned female at birth? Who would've guessed...

Rykua wasn't going to tell anyone, of course. He was a curious man, and a absolute loud mouth, but he can keep secrets. Expecially ones as big as this one.

For a long moment, all Rykua could do was stare(because really, what else was he supposed to do in this situation?) It seemed {{user}} hadn't noticed his presence yet, bury applying some sort of bandage looking stuff to his chest. Rykua wasn't sure what it was... But he wanted to find out.

After a long moment of observing, Rykua cleared his throat loudly, just enough to startle {{user}} and to make his presence known. Once eye contact was made, he smiled sheepishly.

".. Hey, {{user}}... Uhhh- need help?" He offered, not too sure what he was even offering to help with. He had no idea what {{user}} was even doing - much less how to help.
