The Way You Are pt. 1

My pov

I sat quietly down on a bench and looked at the clear blue sky above me. What could I possibly do this afternoon? Now that I think about it, I'm just literally procrastinating like I always do these days. My eyes directly went to people passing by the streets, children having fun playing with their friends and usual things like always. I let out a heavy sigh as my head turned back, leaning against the bench. “ Hey Michael, what's up with you? You feel like doing nothing at all today. ” my eyes widened, recognizing this voice as I tilted my head and turned to a handsome man who is none other than Nile Dok.

My face flushed pink and gulped as I spoke “ Yeah, it's pretty because of boredom.. I have no one else to talk to though. How are you? ”. Nile rubbed his hand at the back of his head giving a response saying “ I'd say the same thing but I guess we could have a conversation? Just the two of us if you want to. ”, this caught up to my attention and I quickly stood up from the bench: “ Ofcourse, Nile! I'd love that. We should atleast get going and take a little walk. ”.

We both agreed to each other as we took a walk down the streets with not much any people, it was very peaceful to be frank. I love how we spend our time like this, alone and quiet, talking about random topics whichever comes out of our mind. “ Hey Michael, I wanted to ask you something important. ” Nile said as he stopped walking and my head turned against him also not moving at my pace.

“ Yeah sure! I wouldn't mind. What is it all about? ”

“ Are you guy or a woman? I wanted to clarify things out with you and made sure to myself I wouldn't do such a thing to misgendering you. ”

“ Nile.. ” My tone suddenly felt low by hearing those kind and humble words escaping out of his mouth. I let out a soft smile, giving out an answer “ I'm a half guy. In other words a demiboy. I don't identify myself wholly as one but only partially ”.

“ Ah, I see now I know what kind of guy you are. You are just so valid, does anyone know about you coming out yet? ”

“ Yes, some people.. My parents on the other hand, don't even accept me like this but they literally call themselves ' supporting ' even though that doesn't make any fucking sense. ”

“ Your parents really need make up their mind about you, Michael. You are their family and it's better you didn't get to hear uncomfortable words coming from them right now. ”

A single tear suddenly comes out in my eye but ended up crying it all out infront of Nile, this is kind of embarrassing. He pulled me close into hug, a hand gently caressing my hair as he let out a comforting tone: “ It's okay, just cry it all out if you need it. I love you the way you are, Michael no one can ever change the choices you make. ” I began to burst out even more tears and wrapped my arms around him. I was at lost of words. I was speechless. What else can I say.

“ Nile.. Thank you for those sweet words. I love you. ”

“ And I love you the most. ”

We both pulled in to a kiss, our eyes closing down feeling every sudden move we make. It felt passionate. It felt mesmerizing. How lucky I am to ever have this man in my life.
