hovering your cursor over the cluster of names, you nervously sat there, debating back and forth whether or not to join the vc. you had a goal today, one you had meant to complete for a while. you were pushing back coming out to your closest friends even though you knew they would be nothing but supportive, the nerves couldn't help but overcome those feelings. suddenly, as if your body was encouraging you, a sudden surge of confidence filled your veins, causing your finger to click down.
wilbur: "y/n? is that you?" y/n: "yea, it's me, hi guys-" tommy: "y/n! tell wilbur that i can get lots of girlfriends if i wanted-" techno: "tommy calm down, he just got here." philza: "hey y/n! how's it going?" y/n: "it's going alright, it's been a stressful day." philza: "you okay mate?" y/n: "mm i'll be okay"
your breath hitched, wondering when it was a good idea to let them know. deciding to stay silent for a bit, you let them carry on as usual, tommy bickering with wilbur, philza laughing, techno watching unamused.
tommy being tommy, making sure everyone was included, reached out first.
tommy: "hey y/n, are you alright? you haven't said anything in a while-"
taking in a deep breath, the words you had been waiting to say just tumbled right out of your mouth.
"uhm, i don't really know how to say this but,, i'm gay- and i have a s/o"
the boys sat for a split second, not even hesitating to break into smiles.
tommy: "that's poggers-" wilbur: "i'm proud of you for coming out, you'll always be supported here." philza: "yea- thanks for letting us know, have you known for long?" techno: "wait a s/o?" tommy: "Y/N! YOU SHOULD LET ME MEET YOUR S/O!"
as you exhaled, you received an immediate wave of relief, your body and posture relaxing. after tommy had quickly calmed down, he spoke again.
tommy: "no but in all seriousness y/n, we will support you, always" techno: "yea- what the child said, we would never stop being friends with you because of it" y/n: "thanks you guys, i appreciate it- and tommy, maybe in the future you can meet them" tommy: "i'll have you know, everyone loves me-" wilbur: "false." tommy: "HEY!"
a loud laugh let out of your lips for the first time that day, glad to have them by your side.
