Corey sighs, "I'm...well I don't know if 'gay' is it, really. So I've just been saying I'm not straight."

There's a few moments of silence before Ben speaks up.

"Queer."

"W-what?" Corey quickly lifts his head up to look at Ben.

He least expected Ben to be the homophobic one in their group.

"That's what you could say. It's an a-uh-umbrella term? I think that's what it's called. Queer. Like, since you don't really know...you know?" Ben says.

"Jesus fucking christ, Benjamin. I thought you were– oh my god my heart just about stopped." Corey tells him, a hand on his chest. Ben just laughs and reaches up to give him a hug.

"I'm proud of you," He whispers in Corey's ear. "Je t'aime no matter what, mon ami, okay?"

Corey nods against the taller boy's shoulder. He feels his eyes start to sting at those words.

"Thanks," His voice breaks, a few tears escaping his eyes.

Hands start rubbing his back and he pulls away from the hug, surprised to see Nick standing above the two with a worried look.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong? What happened?" Sapnap runs a hand on his head to push the hair back. He gently grabs the sides of Corey's head so he can look in his eyes.

Ben chuckles from where he's still kneeling on the floor. "He just came out to me," He stands up and pats Sapnap on the back. "Oh, and don't let him have anymore of that. We all know how he gets when he's drunk." Ben points at the half empty cup.

"Yeah..." Sapnap says, Ben walking away and to the island again.

"You're okay?"

"Yes, Sap, I'm fine." Corey assures him.

"Alright," Sapnap sighs and puts his arm around Corey's shoulder, pulling his head into his torso. "There's lots of emotions tonight."

Corey sniffles, "What do you mean?" He looks up at Nick.

The older boy looks around for a chair, grabbing one from the table in the dining room off to their right.

"Nico, told me everything. About his sexuality and identity and all that. And...I told him about me and what's been going on between us. Even though he knew that part."

Corey laughs and reaches for his drink on the table again.

"Everything's good now?" Corey asks.

Sapnap nods his head with the cutest little smile on his face. That's when Corey notices that his eyelashes are a little wet and clumped together, some tear residue under his eyes as well.

He pouts, pulling his sleeve down over his hands.

"Nick. Were you guys crying," he wipes each of the other boy's eyes with the sleeve. "You never cry in front of me."

"That's because i'm a strong tough man. You don't need to see me cry."

"Hm, fair enough." They laugh at each other and revert back to a comfortable silence.

All of the friends were sat around the dining table, talking, laughing, drinkng, eating. Enjoying their time together.

Corey glances to his right at Sapnap who was already looking at him. Said boy quickly looks back down at his food with a smile on his face.

"Hey Gio, where's your party fling this time?" Jesse asks.
