I found myself staring at the mirror once more.

So, how should I approach this?

“Hi, there, I’m the V-Tuber, you know as Gaia! I’m actually a dude!”

“Hi, ummm, I know this is awkward, but um, yeah, I’m actually the girl you’re waiting to meet ...”

“Howdy there! Name’s Guy, but you know me as Gaia! I’ve been lying about being a girl this whole time!”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

Yeah, that last one. That last one was good.

Sigh.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

What’s good about this is that this doubles as practice for when I finally meet the man of my dreams. If I meet him, that is. But fate hasn’t been kind so far. And I was thankful for that.

My life’s a joke.

But I guess I brought that upon myself.

Time to do the cleanup!

Maybe I should have cleared that up beforehand. I mean, there are tons of V-Tubers who use cross-dressing as a gimmick. Femboy-Tubers are also a thing, both in V-Tubing and regular streaming.

I mean, who knows! Maybe Big-Tuber-San also isn’t a girl in real life! There’s tons of manga that have a setup like that. Guy who plays as a girl and girl who plays as a guy meet irl, to realize, they can lie about their gender and still have a straight romance.

What if Crush is a girl?

No, wait, he sent me pictures of himself before.

My phone vibrated, pulling me out of my trance.

THE Big-Tuber

I’m heading out.

Be there in half an hour.

It was Big-Tuber-San. I just sent her a thumbs up emoji in response.

I looked back at my mirror image. I tried to shape my hair properly, so that no loose curls would stick out, to mixed results. It’s been that long since I had my hair cut.

Maybe I’d dye it silver next time.
