LankyBox: Secrets

A & J <3 Part 7

HOMOPHOBIC WARNING!! (obviously i think Adam's mom is really nice and supportive. I'm sorry, I wanted to make the story a bit interesting)

(Adam's POV)
"Mom, can I talk to you?" I asked. "Adam, you can talk to me whenever you need to" she said with a smile. I took a deep breath, "So you know how I said that there's someone in my life that I really like?" My mom answered with "yes, and I'm sure she's very nice. I haven't even met her and I bet you two would be wonderful together". If only she knew "she" was actually a he. I had to tell her now. "Y-Yeah, sure." She noticed I was very nervous and asked "Is something bothering you, Adam?". I really wanted to say that it's Justin that I like, but I'm not sure how she will react. I don't know if she's homophobic or anything, but I have to try to say it. If she doesn't accept me, I hope Justin does. Here it goes...

"Its not what you think." I showed her the donut necklace. "This is really nice, I'm sure whoever she is really likes donuts, like Justin" She didn't get the hint. "Mom, h-how about you think a bit deeper why I specifically chose a donut." I can tell my face just said nervous all over it. Then she looked at it once again, and.. laughed? "Oh Adam, your hilarious. There's no way its Justin your thinking of. Now tell me, what's her name?" "Well, what if it was him?.." She now knew it was Justin. I could tell by her expression. "Your joking, right?" I shook my head no. I wasn't ready for what was about to happen next...

(Justin's POV)
I was watching TikToks, and I had just scrolled on one on our main page. I kept scrolling, but then got bored. I got up, went upstairs to the room where we shot most of our videos and got Boxy. He reminded me of Adam, so thats why I got him. I went back downstairs, put Boxy on the couch and went to get a blanket so that hopefully when Adam got home, we could watch something together. I started blushing at the fact that last time we watched something, he fell asleep resting his head on my shoulder. We did mention quite a few times that Adam was a big sleeper on the show, and it was partly true. Anyways, I picked out something for us to watch. I put it on the coffee table and relaxed and waited for Adam to get home. I heard the sound of the door open, and I knew it was him. I looked over, expecting to see him all happy and smiling, but instead he was.. crying?

(Adam's POV)
I cannot believe what just happened at my mom's place. I burst through the front door of our house, balling my eyes out. Our of the corner of my eye, I saw Justin on the couch. I was so embarrassed he had to see me like this. I ran upstairs and closed my door. I went on my bed and sobbed into my pillow...

(Justin's POV)
I wonder what happened while Adam was at his mom's place? He was crying more than I had ever seen him cry. When he saw me, he ran upstairs and closed his door. I ran after him. "Adam?! Are you ok, what happened?" No response. "If you need to talk, you know I'm always here for you." Cause I love you... "But I'll leave for a bit and come back later if you want." When I was about to leave, the door opened. He had calmed down a bit, still slightly sobbing under his breath. "Can I come in?" He nodded yes. So we both went to his bed and sat down. "You don't have to say what happened, if you just need comforting". I was really worried about him, he had never been this upset. I liked him more than that of course, but for now, we're just friends.
"Thanks Justin.. I know I can always count on you. But apparently not my own mother anymore." What? He couldn't trust his own mom? "What happened? I need to know so I can help you". He took a deep breath and told me everything. It turns out he and his mom had a huge fight, and she didn't want to see him ever again. She was so upset that she smashed something into pieces that was extremely valuable that he had with him. "What was the fight about, if I can ask?" I think I saw his face go a bit red. He said, "I can't tell you, I'm sorry." I'm not sure what the fight was about, or what the special thing that his mom smashed was, but I hope he knows no matter what, ill always be with him. "I-I don't know how you'll react to it. So I'm a bit nervous to say it.." How I react to it? "Whatever it is, you don't have to tell me yet. But I'm sure it's ok."

Adam's POV:
He says it will be ok, but I'm not sure he will think that when I tell him. "If I tell you now, do you promise to always be my best friend?" He looks a bit confused. "Of course Adam. Your my best friend and always will be. I will always support you with every piece of me". Wow, he's being really caring with this.. that's one of the reasons I like him. He's always so supportive and sweet when sensitive things come up like this. Obviously, I'm not gonna say that I like him, just yet. I'm just gonna say... "I-Im not into girls... at all."
He looked at me shocked. "Go ahead, you can scream at me now about how you hate m-" I was interupted by him... hugging me? "No matter who you like, I will always support you. Your my best friend, after all. I'm sure you'll make some lucky guy very happy one day." I started to cry again, but happy tears this time. "Thank you so much. I'm a bit surprised myself that I came out to you just now myself!" I said, hugging him back. He gave me a sweet smile and hugged me, and I hugged him back. "Thank you for telling me. If you hadn't told me and I came home one day while you were kissing a boy, I would have been very confused." We both laughed. I mean, he's not wrong though. "Anyways, I set up a blanket and something on the TV while you were gone. Do you wanna watch something?" I had an idea. "That sounds wonderful, but I have a better idea. Lets go in the car and you'll see what im talking about!" He followed me mto the car and I started to drive. As I was driving, I thought to myself I'm glad he's still my best friend after this, but what will happen when he finds out he's the one I like?..

Hi! And if you dont know by now what that"something valuable" thing is that Mrs.McArthur smashed, it was sadly the donut necklace that Adam gotten for Justin to confess when he was ready🥺
