How can this be? (Phan fanfiction)(boyxboy)

Telling the family

A/N I obviously don't know their family, so the reactions in here probably won't be 100% accurate. I just kind of went with it.

-A few months later-

Dan's POV

Phil and I are right now separated. I don't mean we've broken up. He's just not here at our flat and neither am I. He's back at his hometown with his mum. I'm also visiting my mum. We have decided to go around and come out to our family. This is terrifying.

***Later still Dan's POV

My mum and I came home to her house. I just bought her dinner at her favorite restaurant.

"That was lovely, dear.", my mum said pleased and happy.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it.", I sat on her sofa in the lounge. "Mum, could you sit down ? I have something important to tell you.", she had that look on her face that she knew I wasn't joking around. I could feel my heart racing a mile a minute. I tried to show myself as being calm, even though on the inside I was terrified, mortified even. Is mortified worse...anyway.

"Oh, yes sweetie ?", she sat down and spoke with a concerned tone.

"Mum, this has been something I've been struggling with for a while. I always denied it, but I can't anymore.", she nodded her head indicating that she understood. I took in a deep breath. "Mum, I'm gay. I always have been, always will be. ", I could tell she was shocked. She just had a look in her eyes.

"Ok, how do you know ?"

"Because I'm in love with...with Phil.", she nodded her head. After a single moment of silence she smiled. I tried to smile back, but I failed. We stood up, and she hugged me comforting me.

"Honey, I just want you to know that I love you, and I'm proud of you. I know this is hard to do.", I was now tearing up. I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I started crying. "Oh, honey.", she comforted and rubbed my back. This was a great bonding moment. "Have you told anyone else ?"

"Not in our family no. But only Phil knows, you know, and PJ and Chris know.", she nodded.

"They're getting married by the way.", she nodded again.

"I know honey, they won't stop telling everyone.", she said still in her comforting voice. I laughed a little bit, and she followed after. We just talked and calmed down. I told her Phil and I are together, and how we're going to tell our families.

Phil's POV

I walked up to the front door and knocked. I called my mum saying that I'd be coming over. I told her I want to speak with her alone, and she said that my dad was leaving for a business trip anyway. When I walked in he wasn't home; I guessed he left already. We sat down on her couch, and I looked at the ground fiddling with my hands.

"So, I need to tell you something important. I've been needing to tell you for a while.", she looked at me with those serious eyes. My heart sank into my stomach. I felt as if my eyes were going to burst into tears. I had to be strong.

"Ok", she said. It sounded as if that's all she could say at the moment.

"I've told Dan this, and he's telling his mum right now as well. Yeah...Dan and I are dating, because...", I took in a deep breath, so I wouldn't muffle my words, "I'm gay.", her face dropped, her mouth gaped open. What I was expecting to happen, my mother hugging me, telling me it's ok, that she loves me, that she's proud of me, that she accepts me, didn't happen.

"You're gay ?", she asked. She seemed really surprised and disgusted. "My son. Is gay ?! I raised you better than that. I raised you to be straight !", her voice raised with every sentence. I just sat there in shock. She stood pointing at me and shouting. Now I really wanted to cry. "Phillip Lester, I taught you to make better decisions.", I was frustrated and scared.
