The Dare (Dylmas)

2.01

Dylan's POV.

I'm sure tommy has already started to message Tyler. I could hear hi gasping quietly from his bedroom, there isn't many interesting things happening in Tyler's life right now, so if it was any news he would get right now; me being gay would be it. Nonetheless I took out my phone and took multiple deep breaths reassuring myself that Tommy would be okay. I knew he would be okay, Kaya is someone he trusts and I know how hard it is for him to trust now. So if she was homophobic or just didn't agree with it, Tommy wouldn't trust her. But she does seem so kind. So if Tommy can trust her and think she is a good person, so do I. Nothing bad could happen, I know he'll be okay.

I scrolled through mine and Tommy's chat until I found Kaya's contact info. Her contact name was "Kay<3". See even the non-emoji heart tells me she's nice. Only nice people use the non-emoji love hearts. I knew she was nice to begin with, but the contact name makes me feel even better about telling her. I knew she was someone that Tommy can really trust, so she must be okay. I reassured myself again and took some more deep breaths. With that, I began to text her.

Kay<3: Hi... I'm Kaya, how did you get my number?

Dyl-Prickle🥒: your friend thomas

Kay<3: Oh right.

Dyl-Prickle🥒: he wants me to tell you something about him, he doesn't want to tell you himself because he's scared. but i know that you'll be accepting.

Kay<3: Okay. Go ahead.

Dyl-Prickle🥒: tommy is gay. he likes men, he's got a boyfriend too.

Kay<3: OMG OMG. I knew it!! I hope he doesn't think I'd judge him, does he? And the boyfriend.. who is it?

Dyl-Prickle🥒: he knew you'd be okay with it, he was just nervous about doing it himself. and i'm the boyfriend.

Kay<3: That's adorable. Can't wait to meet you!! You seem so kind already.

Dyl-Prickle🥒: thank you :) i think we'll get on well.

I'm so happy right now, Kaya accepts Thomas for who he is. It's so cliché, but everything feels like it's falling into place. My boyfriend has been accepted, I'm finally doing my best that I can do to help him to recover, and hopefully Tyler's accepted me for who I am. Everything feels so right because I know that soon I'll be able to meet him. I'll be able to cuddle him and really make sure that he knows that I'm here for him no matter what - physical love is the best way of doing that, right? Even though he has his struggles and I know that sometimes it gets bad for him. But I know that with the way things are going for us right now, the love we have for each other; we'll be okay.

I was so excited to call Thomas and tell him the news, I'm just worried in myself. I didn't want Tyler to be funny with me, or him thinking I have a thing for him or something. It just makes me feel scared and just gives me a strange feeling in my chest. All I want right now and for the rest of my life is happiness. I don't want to spend my life worrying about telling people who I really am. I know that Tyler will be different compared to people that are homophobic or even people that just don't support. I will always have that fear, anyone will when coming out to someone that they truly care for.
