Forgiveness

1000+ words

Darryl POV

"GO TO YOUR ROOM! DONT COME OUT UNTIL THIS NONESENSE IS OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM!"

I trembled in fear and rage. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DON'T CONTROL WHO I'M ATTRACTED TO!"

"GO TO YOUR DAMN ROOM OR YOULL BE FUCKING LIVING ON THE STREETS!" My mother screamed.

I whipped around and stormed off to my room. As soon as I was safely in my room with the door locked, I let out a sob. My original optimistic attitude of coming out to my parents had faded. My dad had gone silent and my mother well… yeah…

I crawled over to my computer and loaded up discord. I wanted to talk to somebody. No, I needed to talk to somebody. I scrolled through my friends on discord. Dream, Georgenotfound, Sapnap, Karl… No. Dream George and Sapnap were out of town camping. So I was sure they were out of service. And I didn’t know Karl well enough to call him. But I needed to talk with someone. Desperately.

I scrolled down and I froze on a familiar name. Skeppy

My mouse hovered over the name, unsure if I wanted to break the promise I had made to myself. But I couldn’t help it. I needed him. He made me happy. And I would have to forgive him someday…

So I clicked the call button.

Zak POV

I stumbled through my front door, barely remembering to shut the door behind me. I staggered up the stairs, nearly falling up them as I went. I got to my room and collapsed on my bed.

I knew it had been a bad idea to go to that party. I hadn’t known there would be alcohol of course, but regardless I had had a bad feeling about going. It only took a bit of peer pressure from my friends before I had chugged one cup, then two, then four before I had decided to leave.

However I wasn’t ready to sleep just yet. I Got back up and plopped down in my gaming chair and loaded up minecraft. I suddenly heard the familiar chime of an incoming call from Discord.

I alt-tabbed into the app and my heart skipped a beat. It was Bad.

I wasn’t sure if I should answer. Maybe it was an accident. But something told me it wasn't. Hesitantly, I connected to the call.

“Bad…?” I mumbled softly.

I could hear soft sobbing from the other side of the call. “Bad! Hey are you okay?!”

“No… Skeppy, will you please meet with me at the park?” He sniffed.

I smiled. “Of course. I’ll be there in 5 minutes.”

“Okay…” I heard the sound that he had left the call and I yanked my headphones off. I changed my clothes (because they smelled like alcohol) and splashed my face with water, to try and sober me up a bit, and walked out the door.

I arrived at the park shortly after that, I spotted Bad on a bench near the edge of the playground. I approached him, and the closer I got, the worse he looked. His eyes were red and puffy and he sat with his knees up to his chest, his arms wrapped around them.

I gently sat down next to him. “Hey…”

There was clearly still tension between us, regardless of that, I hugged him. He hesitantly hugged me back and it took only a matter of seconds before he began sobbing.
                                           
“Shhh…” I muttered. I rubbed his back softly, comforting him the best I could. I still didn’t even know what was wrong.

It took a while for him to calm down, his tears slowing after about an hour. When I felt like he was okay, I asked, “Hey what’s wrong?”

He pulled out of the hug, “I-I came out to my mom and she yelled at me.”

My heart dropped. What. The. Fuck.

I had been lucky enough to have parents that accepted me and I had come out not too long ago, however it made me terribly upset to think that Darryl’s parents didn’t accept him for who he was.

I hugged him again. “It's okay. I’m here for you. And it doesn’t matter if your parents are assholes, we will graduate soon then you can get out of there and be who you are.”

“Language…” He mumbled.

I grinned. “There he is. There’s the Bad that I know.”

Darryl smiled back at me. “I think we can be friends now.”

My eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yeah. I forgive you.”

I tackled him with a hug.

“By the way ZAK.” He glared.

I knew he was about to scold me for something.

“Have you been drinking?” He folded his arms across his chest.

I sighed. “Maybeeee….”

“You can’t drink Zak your under age!”

He shook his finger at me and I burst into laughter. “Hey sorry to break the mood but if you want you can stay at my place because of your parents? My parents wont care.”

Darryl grinned. “Okay.”

And we walked to my house.

He was amazing, and more than ever, I was glad to have my best friend back again.

BONUS!!

“Here you can sleep in the bed and I’ll sleep on the floor.” I offered.

Bad seemed surprised, “No! You can have the bed! It’s your bed!”

“No. It’s fine. I sleep on the floor sometimes anyway.” I assured him.

He still didn’t seem too sure about it but I kept reassuring him. However as soon as he hopped in bed he fell asleep.

I admired him as he slept, his features so calm and relaxed.

I slowly drifted off.

At some point in the night, I awoke, shivering. It was so cold. I sat up and stared at Darryl, I gently slid into bed next to him. Cuddling wouldn’t hurt right?

I got warm quickly, and soon after, fell back asleep.

I woke up the following morning with Darryl next to me, his arms wrapped around me. I felt calm. I felt… safe.

I didn’t want to wake him up. So I just lay there. Committing every moment to memory.

“Zak…?” Darryl mumbled.

I grinned. “Finally you are awake. Good morning sleepyhead.”

“Oh shut up.” He rolled his eyes.

We both got up. We snuck back into Daryl's house, and grabbed his computer. We returned to my house and played Minecraft all day.

It was the best day of my life.
