Nathan would be lying if he said that he was not caught off guard by his friend's confession. But he could understand where he... or rather she was coming from. Their town was not exactly a LBGT community and letting people know had their consequences. However, it did explain a lot of "James" weird behavior at times. It was probably why he went so long without getting a hair cut. 

He saw the tears welling up in her eyes and pulled her in for a tighter hug. [color=firebrick]"Hey, it's okay. I'm still here. Nothing's changed,"[/color] he whispered while stroking her hair. [color=firebrick]"I've always knew you were a princess,"[/color] he could not help but tease. 

He held her tightly until she had calmed down. Once her tears had dried up, he pulled back and gave her a gentle smile. [color=firebrick]"Thank you for telling me...Um... What should I call you then?"[/color] he asked, curious of his friend's new name. [color=firebrick]"Oh and I have something that might cheer you up... If you promise not to judge me for this either..."[/color] he added, deciding to reveal a secret of his own. 

He led James/Jess to his room. He took a deep breath and got out a key to his closet door. [color=firebrick]"So uh... again... please don't think I'm weird..."[/color] he said awkwardly. He had never shared his secret with anyone, but this was kind of different. He slowly opened the door to reveal a room filled with girls clothing, accessories, and wigs. [color=firebrick]"...I'm... kind of a crossdresser."[/color] he admitted finally.
