"Kaede I'm gay!"

There was silence. Not a word. The both of them just giving a blank stare to each other.
"You're... gay..?" Kaede asked, slightly confused.
"Yes..." Kiyotaka responded, his head down. Feeling like he'd lose his closest friend due to this stupid confession. Kaede took a deep breath and smiled, turning to Taka
"I mean, I don't hate you. I'm just surprised. I thought you were into girls..."
"Ah yes... everyone does..." he kinda chuckled, scratching his head, having a mild panic attack as the girl he thought as his only friend was silent. Staring at him
'Is she going to laugh at me..? I wouldn't be surprised...' Kiyotaka began to shake slightly, before Kaede noticed this
"Taka! It's ok! Being gay is natural, someone who mocks you for it is disgusting."
"Really..?" Kiyotaka's eyes lit up "you mean that..."
"Of course! Why wouldn't I..?"

Point of View: Kiyotaka Ishimaru

Sitting there, beginning to smile massively, I couldn't help but feel... happy... I didn't know that I could feel so happy after having an anxiety attack.
"Plus. I get it. Being attracted to the same gender." Kaede added on "I find ladies quite attractive."
"So you're bi..? I raised an eyebrow, looking at her
"No I am pansexual." She smiled proudly "I couldn't care your gender as long as you're happy with me and I'm happy with you!"
"I thought I was alone! I thought no one else was attracted to the same gender! I don't know how to describe this!" I bursted out, my excited made me leap off the bench "I want to express it to the world then if everyone does!"
"A lot of people experience it." She looked to the side of us, checking for anyone "but a lot of people are homophobic and quite judgemental..."
"Ha... ok..." I felt my heart drop to my stomach. Would I ever find myself a boyfriend if everyone hated me..?

I guess being hated would just be a part of my identity. Maybe I was getting my hopes up

Maybe no one will truly love me.

"Don't be discouraged Taka!" Kaede held my arm "I have a solution if you feel lonely!"
"Oh... you do?" I replied, intrigued. I mean, I really wanted a boyfriend. Does that sound sad. I MEAN I AM SAD BUT I DON'T WANT TO PORTRAY IT.
"It's called 'ホル黙ろう Horu Hangout'. It's like an LGBTQ hang out and hook up app. I use it a lot because, well, there's a lot of lovely people on this app." She opened it up on her phone and showed the opening screen. It kind of looked like if tinder and Instagram combined and had a child "I post a few videos about my piano recitals."
"It does look quite good... but what if my dad finds out I have it?" I replied, worried. My dad is a loving caring man, but he scares me. I'm scared he'll kick me out
"There's something for that. In settings you can name it to a different app and when there's a notification for something, it'll be something else, for example: if someone talked about a cute art they made of their gay characters, in your notification, it'll come as something like 'cool art of my dog' or something." Kaede smiled, very happy while she scrolled through it.
"This all seems quite advanced. Who even made this?" I was quite astonished
"I heard rumours of it being the cute little Chihiro girl... I wonder if she herself is a lesbian and is why she made the app..."
"Ah well... I better ask. She's in my class."
"I know. I remember her from when I was in your class." I paused a few seconds before I remembered: oh yeah, Kaede was in my class.
"Well thank you for telling me. I'll surely use this in the near future."

Near future? More like as soon as I get home.

I ran to my room and opened up my phone, typing up 'Horu hangout' and downloading it. I was so excited. What would await me? Who would I meet? Would I be able to get swipes from people? Ahhhh I was excited. Crouching, i peaked at my phone as it finished. Excited. And as I opened the phone... a chibi man with blue hair and cute blushed cheeks waved
