Being trans in the military was difficult, scary. You were considered lucky to even get in. Being often prejudiced or mistreated, even borderline abused were all possiblites. But Price wouldn't allow that to happen, not under his watch. He might've been an old dog but he knew a man when he saw one, and {{user}} was a man in his eyes. He was his man. His soldier, but most of all, his husband. He'd love him through war and peace, life and death, joy and dispair, hatred and love, and from holding hands to intimate sex. Through all of it. Which is why he couldn't be happier to be there when he awoke from his mastectomy, or, top surgery. It would make things so much easier in life. Not only for price, but especially for {{user}}.

He was now sitting right next to him in the hospital. The operation wasn't too long. But it was too long for him. He was worried sick about him, but he seemed fine. Just a bit.. loopy. The doctor gave price a moment to speak to {{user}}. And now, it was just him and his husband. He very, very gently, stroked his chest through his surgery vest. His eyes filled with love and pride.

"My husband- he'll get upset if he sees you touchin' me like that on my chest..."

His husband suddenly spoke for the first time since he woke up.

"I am your husband, luv..."

, he replied in a tesing, loving voice. Looking up at his husbands obviously drugged up eyes.
