Wingman Gone Wrong | LeoFiat

"Maybe we should take this a little more private? If we go back to your place maybe you can have this talk with your parents as well," Leo suggests. Everyone exchanges glances before agreeing. Nannon's father offers a ride and the three slide into the back seat as the roads that they walked breeze by. It did not take long before they pull up to the familiar home and the adults park the car out front.

Still feeling like it is not his home yet, Fiat knocks. They had been gone for over an hour, so they can only hope that his parents have woken up.

Feet patter is heard behind the door, before the latch unlocks and it opens to reveal Fiat's mother. Her look of shock is evident. "P'Rin, P'Lay.."

After a brief greeting, they heard inside to have Fiat's father have the same surprise on his face. With drinks prepared, the two sets of parents sit facing the nervous boy. Leo helps explain the purpose of gathering while Fiat gathers himself. Fiat looks around nervously as he plays with the hem of his shirt. After a while, he finally begins.

"As you know, Jay, Wan, Nannon and I have been friends all throughout high school. They were people I believed I could trust and would be in my life for a long time. I came out to them first, thinking that they would accept me. I felt so relieved when they continued to act like it was nothing. This was in junior year and eventually, I felt that Nannon was becoming closer to me as he took care of me more. I was happy," Fiat has a distant look in his eyes as he smiles at the memory. "Then summer came. Nannon often asked me to hang out and later told me he liked me. I was stunned and was not sure what to make of it. For the entire time that I knew him, I believed he was straight. That he only had eyes for females."

"Was he bisexual?" Nannon's father questions. Fiat observed his face only to find confusion and concern, a much different expression as his own father has when he said he is gay.

"If it is true, I would not be able to tell. He acted as if it is true and eventually I gave him a chance. We laughed together and hung out even more. The only reason I cannot say if it is true, is because Jay and Wan told me after it all, that it was a bet. The reason why Nannon payed extra attention to me and approached me was because of a bet. I want to believe there is a bit of honesty in Nannon's actions, but I can't confirm or deny anything," Fiat explains. "Nannon and I agreed to keep our relationship private, even from Jay and Wan. So, when the school year started, our last year, our time together is short as we are almost always with people. That is why when you went on your trip, Nannon invited me over to watch movies and hang out. I honestly did not think much of it. It was my first relationship. I was just happy to spend time with him. The furthest we've ever gone was holding hands, hugging and a couple pecks here and there."

Fiat glances over at Leo, only to see a sad smile on his face. Fiat knows that Leo's smile is for him. To let him know that he understands the pain and that he is there for him. Fiat lowers his eyes as his hands fist on his lap. "I was not expected Nannon's advances. We were just watching the movie when he turned to me and kissed me. It was innocent at first, but when it escalated, I was scared. I was not ready. I know him and the others are already comfortable with such actions, but I wasn't. I'm not. I tried to tell him to stop. I tried to tell him to slow down. I tried to pull away, to push him away. He was not listening to me. He kept forcing me to respond similarly to him, but I couldn't. He was stronger than me, but I was scared. I pushed with all my might and curled up to the corner of the couch."

Fiat slowly looked up at their eyes. They mirror each other with tears in their eyes. Different emotions run through them, anticipating the rest of the story while already knowing how it ends. "I was confused as to why he suddenly didn't continue pursuing me. I was relieved thinking he finally realized what he had done. However, when I looked back over, I saw it. I saw him. He had just fallen with his head to the corner of the glass table. Shattered pieces on the floor. I freaked out. I called Wan and Jay first before calling the ambulance. I was frozen as I stared at him laying on the floor. I'm sorry. It was an accident. I was scared. I was scared and I just wanted him to stop. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It was an accident. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."
