Fics like every name was worth knowing

“Can I tell you something else?” he asked finally, quietly. Amalia kissed the base of his spine in response, feeling him shiver before melting into the contact. “I started going by Tom because it was palatable for white people. A lot of us do it if our name is really ‘foreign’. People give us less trouble for it.” Amalia inclined their head, once. “Tomoichi.” they stated, and Tom seemed to warm at the use of his full name. Once they had asked what ‘Tom’ was short for and he had coached them on the pronunciation—they had never gotten it wrong. (They had practiced it; every name was worth knowing.) He rolled over to face them, tucking an arm under his head as a pillow. “Do you prefer that name, or Tom?” “Tomoichi a little bit more. Tom is a nickname, and I don’t mind it if it’s you, but it’s also...not my name. And I’d like to hear it more often than just from my parents.”
