*~|Nick's POV|~*

Two weeks later...

Today was the day, the day I come out to the school and drop the news that I'm dating Karl. TO EVERYONE. That means I'm telling all of my friends and... family.

"Nick, are you sure you want to do this?" I nodded, "you're completely ready?" My mom asked.

"Yes mom I am," I said, "Karl will be with me the whole time, I can do it." Then I thought of something I shouldn't have.

In third grade my favorite cousin, Mari, was kicked out of her house because her parents didn't support her being lesbian. I didn't understand it then but now I completely understand it. I still talk to her and I hear that she's doing good with her wife and all that so I'm glad. Now I'm less ready to tell my family.

"Nick, I know this is going to be hard, like coming out to our family, so I'm glad that you are starting at school." I smiled,

"Mom, I know everyone supports Karl-" she gave me a stale look.

"They know about Karl?" I nodded.

"His shit 'friend' Aiden outed him, but we took care of Aiden. He doesn't bother Karl anymore." My mom looked at me with a look I couldn't read.

"Asshole, what an asshole. That happened to me in high school too." I shot her a look.

"What the hell?" I said,

"Nick, I'm bisexual." She laughed, "I totally forgot to tell you when we left your dads"

"wow mom wow that's so low," I said in a joking tone, we both laughed.

"Hey seriously, go with Karl downstairs and have a good day okay?" I nodded and hugged my mom.

My mom is such an amazing person since we had left my old 'home' honestly a home isn't a home if there's no love, it's just a building you take shelter in. Where the hell did I get that, who knows.

"Karl" I said dragging out his name,

"what's up love," I melted inside, I love it when he calls me love.

"I'm coming out," Karl laughed,

"Honey it's a little late for that." He smiled,

"What?- oh no- Karl," I face palmed, "I meant at school?" Karl fell out of his chair, I bursted out laughing, so did Karl.

"You are?! And you didn't tell me till now?!" I laughed, half about the fact that he fell and the other about his reaction.

"Oh and did I mention we are going to my family's house to come out to them too?" Karl stared at me.

"Who the hell are you, what have you done to my boyfriend?" I laughed,

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nick, the past two weeks we only ever held hands publicly when we were shopping or under the lunch table at school." I laughed, "you weren't ready to tell everyone yesterday, so why the hell are you ready now?" I shrugged and made food, while Karl stood up and sat back in his chair.

"Oh and Karl," I heard him hum, "I love you," I said with a smile.

"I love you too sappy," Karl said teasingly.

*~|At school|~*

We entered the school and went to the counselors office. I was hoping to ask for some advice on how to come out because I know the counselor did it in high school too, plus Karl wasn't much of a resource since he didn't come out himself.
