Coming Out

I don't know much about being transgender, so I'm really sorry if I get anything wrong with this.

 Fundy stood behind the corner as he watched his dad flip through some sort of book. He'd been there for a few minutes and was trying to convince himself to just tell his dad already, but he couldn't. So, Fundy opted to hide on the other side of the corner.

But Wilbur unexpectedly looked up from the book he had in hand and Fundy quickly ducked away, praying to whatever gods were listening that he hadn't been seen. "E҉̰̰͎̆͞r҉̵҉̛̠̩̥̋ͦ̆͆͟͞͡͞͠r҉̵҉̛̠̩̥̋ͦ̆͆͟͞͡͞͠o҉̢̡̲͇̌͗̀͢͝r҉̵҉̛̠̩̥̋ͦ̆͆͟͞͡͞͠ - N̵҉̾͟͞͡o҉̢̡̲͇̌͗̀͢͝ N̵҉̾͟͞͡a҉͖̟̜̞̂̃̑̽͢͢͠͡m̴̵҉̸̲̗̰̼͗͌̃̇͟͟͟͠͞͠e̵̡̫̫͍͕̎ͭ̐͟͟͝͞ -" Fundy held back a flinch at the name, thankful that the wall was keeping him out of Wilbur's sight while still silently swearing against the gods "-is everything okay?"

Taking a deep breath and sighing, Fundy took two steps around the corner and into his dad's sight with anxiety slowly bubbling up and filling his chest. "I, um... I need to tell you something..." His dad set the book on the table, giving Fundy his undivided attention. "I... well, you see, dad. Um..." As Fundy stumbled over his words, the anxiety seemed to keep his mind from finding the right words as it had already taken over his chest.

The words continued to stumble out of his mouth while Wilbur waited for him to be ready to say whatever it was that he wanted to. Fundy was too busy panicking and struggling for a way to just tell his dad the truth that he didn't see the slight understanding in Wilbur's eyes and the faint smile he had.

"I- I'm sorry, I can't do this." Fundy turned on his heels and rushed to his bedroom, quickly locking the door after shutting it. As he left, Fundy heard his dad standing up to most likely come after him, but at the moment? Fundy didn't care.

Tears were blocking his vision as he silently panicked at the thought of what he was about to do. For months now, Fundy wanted to tell his dad about how he just didn't feel like a girl. How he hated the name he was given at birth and everything else. But the thought of Wilbur potentially getting mad at him for it, telling him that no, Fundy wasn't a boy but was a girl, since that's what he had been born as, terrified him.

Fundy loved Wilbur and knew that Wilbur loved him as well, but he didn't want to risk loosening their close relationship and another parent over what they both thought. A part of him, the only part that was being logical, chided him that his dad would never hate him for something like this. Fundy wanted to listen to that part, but the sound of footsteps coming towards his bedroom door blocked all hope of being logical.

"Hey," Wilbur started, voice quiet and soft. He sounded like he was kneeling in front of the door, "whatever it was that you were going to tell me? Take your time with it. I'm ready to listen whenever you're ready to tell me. Okay?"

Fundy felt the tears well up more at his dad's words. They were simply, they really were, but something about them just made Fundy feel so much better about chickening out. He's sure that Wilbur had told him something along these lines before, but in this instance, they had a bigger impact on him than those other times.

"Dad..." Fundy spoke, voice an unsteady whisper while cracking.

'Yeah?"

"I-... wanna go by Fundy." He finally said after hesitating for a few seconds, "And I don't feel like a girl."

"Alright, as long as you're happy, Fundy." Hearing his dad say that name, calling him his actual name, made the tears finally spillover. Without saying anything else and not waiting for Wilbur to continue talking, Fundy swings open the door and threw himself at his dad; who didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Fundy and hold him close. "I don't care what name you want to go by or if you're a boy and not a girl. All I care about is you being happy with being you, whoever the hell that is," Fundy let out a choked laugh at that as he buried his head into his dad's shoulder, "I'll always support and love you, Fundy. If anyone ever dares to tell you that since you weren't born male you aren't, I'll make them wish they never said anything to you. No one gets away with being shitty to my family, especially my son."

Being called Wilbur's son made the tears multiply and Fundy's grip on the man tighten. "I love you too, dad." Fundy mutter out between sobs. And if he felt his jacket slowly getting damper since the hug started, he didn't care. "I-i was so scarred that you would tell me otherwise, that you would force me to stay a girl."

Wilbur let go and cupped Fundy's cheeks with his hands, brown eyes staring at another pair of brown eyes, tears coating both. "Fundy, I would never do that. As a bisexual, I know what it's like for people to tell you otherwise. I've been told that I can only like one gender that I've only had a girlfriend so therefore I couldn't be into guys. If you say that you're a boy and that your name is Fundy, then it is not mine or anyone else's place to tell you differently. Unless you tell me otherwise, you're my son. Okay, big man?"

Fundy just nodded with a small smile, and wrapped his arms around his dad's neck again, Wilbur returning the hug. "Thank you, dad."

"Of course. I'd blow up the entire world for you if I had to." Fundy smiled more and tightened the hug, both not planning to let each other go anytime soon.

Fun fact: I started crying a little while writing this :D

I sorta made Wilbur's reaction how I (apparently) wanted my parents to be like when I came out as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Yeah, they were supportive, but I wish they said more things like what Wilbur said. Like, maybe if they had said something about dealing with people being homophobic towards me (which hasn't happened yet) or just acting more supportive. My mom did get me a flag, but I still remember times when they said things that didn't really sound supportive. Which happened before I came out. So that's intresting-

Wilbur is a supportive parent and will destroy anyone that dares try to tell his son that he isn't a male because he was born female. Fight me about it.

I really love Supportive Parent Wilbur, if you can't tell. :)

Anyways, love you all, my little stars! Have some chocolate before you go! 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
