"Cleo! Stop touching my makeup! Your mother will kill me!"

Sykkuno muffles his chuckles in his hand as Bretman has to go take care of Cleo for the nth time since he has been here. He puts her down for a nap and comes back.

"So why are you here?" Bretman asks when he plops himself down on the couch besides Sykkuno.

"Can't I just be here? Just to hang out with my friend?" Sykkuno mumbles.

Bretman laughs, "bitch, we both know you're here for a reason. So just spill!"

Sykkuno sighs, knowing there's no point beating around the bush with Bretman.

"I just– um, I have a question. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

"Ugh, I don't like suspense, ask me already!" He whines.

"How did you– how did you know you were gay?"

"Oh, well that's easy. I was sleeping one day, right? And I had a dream suddenly. I was in some kind of motherfucking candy land. And then a fairy came to me and said, “Bretman, you're fucking gay.” And I was like, “okay, fairy.” cause who am I to say no to a motherfucking fairy? And then she gave me a rainbow cupcake and when I ate it, a unicorn came out the centre and puked rainbows. Then I woke up and went to the bathroom and shit glitter. And that's how I knew."

Sykkuno opens his mouth and closes it again. He fish mouths for a couple more seconds till Bretman starts laughing hysterically.

"I'm fucking with you, Sykkuno."

"Oh," he laughs nervously, "I knew that."

"Look, I'm not gonna generalise because it's different for everyone. I mean, I realised it at an early age and it didn't take me that long to come to terms with it. It can be different for other people. You just gotta come to terms with what you do be liking. Stop being ignorant. You like dick, you like dick. So what? Be open and free about the idea first and it'll be much easier to figure out."

That seemed like pretty good advice. Sykkuno knew that no one else could just make the decision for him. He's going to have to do it himself. He has known for a little while, maybe he just doesn't want to accept it. He doesn't know why. He fully supports the LGBT community. Maybe it's the fear of being accepted.

On the ride home, he thinks about a lot of things. He thinks about the way Corpse makes him feel, about the way he feels about himself and about the way people feel about him. He decides that being gay absolutely isn't a bad thing. And his friend group would be the last one to judge him for being gay.

So when he gets to his flat and sees his roommates and friends hanging out, he decides to come forth with the truth to everyone.

"Hey guys," he says, dropping his keys on the table and nodding at everyone.

Lily has come over and her, Rae, and Toast are playing an intense game of Monopoly, the Xbox left stranded.

"Hi Sykkuno! I missed you!" Lily says and comes over to give him a hug.

"Heh, that's sweet of you."

"How's Bretman?"

"Oh, he's fine." Sykkuno scratches at the back of his neck. "Um, I have something to tell you guys..."

Toast eyes him suspiciously. He hasn't talked to him since their little fight. And if he's honest, he doesn't want to fight with his best mate.

"You can tell us anything, Sy." Rae nods encouragingly.

"Uh, guys, I'm gay." He says, it's at that moment he realises that his hands are shaking for some reason.

There's a beat of silence before Rae shouts, "are you dating Bretman?!"

"W-what no!" He shouts back.

"Oh, that's a relief. I shipped you w–"

"Lalalalalala!" Lily suddenly starts singing, cutting off Rae and standing up again to hug Sykkuno. "I'm proud of you!"

"Yeah, Sykkuno, we're proud of you." Toast nods.

"We are! Do you wanna celebrate with burgers or pasta?"

"Uhm, burgers would be nice." He says with a smile.

He's honestly glad that his friends aren't making a big deal out of it, because it isn't. He doesn't want to make it all about his coming out and everyone telling him how loved he is and stuff, he appreciates that, but it isn't a big deal to him.

"Toast, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure."

He leaves his monopoly money behind, which is being eyed by the two girls already. Toast and Sykkuno go to his room and sit on his bed before Sykkuno starts speaking.

"Look, I- I didn't mean to be all rude with you the other day, you just–"

"Sykkuno, stop. I realised I should not have been pushing you to answer my questions that you clearly did not want to. It's not your fault, I'm sorry."

Sykkuno sighs. "I'm glad you understand. I don't wanna be cross with you."

"It's okay, man. Really." Toast nods with a smile.

"So, do you wanna hear all about my crush?"

Toast grins and screams, "fuck, yes!"
