@lovingly-lightbulbs prompted

"In a world….. where everyone has three nostrils…. our protagonist has TWO. Oh! The horror! The shame!

There's a secret shadow organization of people with only one nostril."

I leaned as hard into the terrible 2013 teen dystopia as hard as I could for this bad boy

~*~

Everybody likes to talk a big talk about being born different, especially when they’re olfactorteenies. Bragging about curly hair or freckles or a quirky sense of humor, all the sort of things that will be Dealt With in the following years. Nothing truly freakish, nothing truly irredeemable, nothing like me.

My own parents were horrified by the sight of me. They knew society was never going to accept a TwoNos like me. It’s a miracle they didn’t decide to toss me away from the moment they could truly see skin where my third nostril had been. Babies had been put in the Smell Deficient houses for less.

Instead, for the first several years of my life, they hid me away, pretended they had no child, or that I was off with family, or that I jumpstarted Naris school early. It wasn’t until they were able to smuggle me my prosthetic nose, and that I was able to wear it properly, that I got to start living my best attempt at a normal life. Admittedly, I had to switch training hubs when I didn’t bring sufficient spirit gum to class and my secret was revealed, but that was years ago.

I really thought I had blended in. Careful avoidance of partaking in Smevents, memorizing how other people described the world around them, and a healthy amount of lying meant I was basically any other 16 year old.

That was until today.

My classmate, Septuma, approached me after class. We weren’t, like, close or whatever, so it was a little weird, but not like creepy. But then, without warning, he grabbed my nose! I tried to pull away, but that only made things worse, the silicone stripped away and showing my truth. Tears sprang to my eyes and I thought I put my hands to my face fast enough that maybe, just maybe, I’d be okay.

To my shock, however, he didn’t startle at the lump of fakeness in his hand. Instead, he pulled his own nose off to reveal..he was a OneNos!!! I had thought those were myths, meant to frighten the NormNos’s into obedience like your typical boogeyman. With wide eyes and that one, large nostril, he told me, “Nasarilly, you must be the one to unite our world.”
