HOMOPHOBIA [BXB]

CHAPTER 30

LEO'S POV

"W-What?"

I tried to break the hug to look at his face but he tightened the grip around my body pulling me closer to him.

He sniffled into my neck and continued to cry as I stared at the wall behind the couch trying to process everything.

"What happened to your p-parents?"

He shook his head and let out sobs literally shaking in my arms. I caressed his back and massaged his scalp trying to calm him down.

After a few minutes of continuously crying, he calmed down and brushed his teeth when I forced him to so we are currently cuddling on his bed as Troye was downstairs in the living room watching TV.

I looked down at him as his head was resting on my chest and our legs entangled together. I pecked the top of his head and he looked at me with those tired eyes of his.

"What happened? You want to tell me?"

He slowly nodded resting his head on my chest again encircling his arms around my body as I tightened my grip on his body as well.

"I... I told my parents that I'm a gay."

"You did?"

I asked getting surprised at the fact that he told his parents about something which he's scared of to admit in front of people.

I thought something bad happened to his parents when Rome said he lost them but now it's not that so I'm relieved.

"I did excluding that I have a boyfriend already. I thought they would accept me but they didn't instead disowned me.. I mean my dad actually, my mom was trying to convince him but deep down I know she's upset with me too."

I let out a gasp listening to him to which he buried his head more into my chest with a sigh leaving past his lips.

"I don't regret telling it though because if not now I should tell them someday so thought that why not now when they were actually asking me to tell the truth...we argued first regarding mom wanting to set me up with a person I don't even know so that's how it went."

"I'm sorry that it happened to you."

"It's not your fault and also I still believe that they would take me back someday I just hope that to happen."

"They will."

"You know...the reason why I got so brave all of a sudden?"

He stared into my eyes and I stared back wanting him to say what he has to say.

"You. I got brave enough to admit something I've been dying to admit since years is because of you. I wanted to risk it all for you."

My heart fluttered at his words and I blushed nodding at him. He just smiled resting his head on my chest again.

"Dad told me to get a job and feed myself along with the fees I need to pay before I graduate so I've been busy with finding jobs since two days and crying over the fact that my parents left me. I'm sorry if I didn't try to reach you I was just distancing myself from everyone. I needed time time for myself."

"It's okay.. Don't apologize when you did nothing wrong... I can imagine how you might be feeling right now but I can assure you that it's going to be okay. Your parents will come to you again sooner or later.

I'm not going to lie but I got really worried when you just disappeared without any notice..negative thoughts filled my head and I started panicking but it's all good now."

He smiled looking at me and pecked my cheek making me blush instantly. We were smiling at each other like mad people and he chuckled laying his head on my shoulder this time.
