You Got Me

Free

Nick was a bit lost. His friends were talking to his brothers, and he had no one. He wasn't even out of the closet yet, which led him to his breaking point on the matter. He finally felt like he could tell his brothers the truth about his sexuality. Of course, Nick is a nervous wreck and is completely unsure how it will go, but he needs to do this. He needs it for himself more than anyone. Because he's tired of hiding himself from the people he loves the most. 

With that being said, he called for both Matt and Chris to come to his room. As soon as the two boys entered, he closed the door behind them. His brothers were confused to say the least, but that would be cleared up soon enough. Or at least Nick hopes anyway. 

"Is something wrong Nick?" Matt asked in a concerned manner. Nick hadn't exactly spent time with his brothers, because he's been afraid of them finding out his secret. Not just that, but he's never felt like he fit in with them. He's always seen them as the boys, which led him to felt like an outsider. He was tired of feeling that way. 

"I need to address something." Nick replied nervously as he fidgeted with his hands. 

"What's going on Nick?" This time Chris spoke up. It was clear that both of the boys are concerned about Nick, especially considering he's nervous. So he decided to try and ease into it. 

"I realize that you guys have gotten rather close to my friends. Because of that I feel the need to tell you something important." 

"Don't tell me, that you want us to stay away." Chris replied in confusion. 

"No, it's not that." Nick assured him.

"Are you interested in one of them?" Matt asked with a stern expression. 

"I'm not trying to steal your girl, Matt." 

"So you want to date Mak? Is that why you didn't want me to her have her number? Why would you encourage me to text her if you wanted her?" Nick finally got frustrated with his brother repeatedly cutting him off that he finally blew up.

"I DON'T WANT THEM BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE WOMEN DAMNIT!"  Nick screamed as he ran his hands through his hair in frustration. Matt and Chris didn't utter a work, but instead just sat there in silence.  

"What?" Matt replied. He wanted to make sure his ears weren't deceiving him. 

"I'm gay." Nick replied with a sigh as he rubbed his face nervously. "If you guys hate me it's fine, but I was tired of hiding myself from both of you." 

"Why would we hate you?" Chris asked which shocked Nick. 

"I agree. Gay or not, you're our brother. We could never hate you for being yourself." Nick felt tears form in his eyes at his brothers' words. Not only did they not hate him, but they accept him. This was better than he could have imagined it going. Tears fell down his cheeks as he looked up at them. 

"I'm sorry I never told you. I was always so afraid that you guys would hate me for it, so I distanced myself from you both. I never felt like I belonged." Matt and Chris then kneeled in front of Nick, both of them hand a hand on each of his shoulders. 

"You have always belonged, Nick." Matt replied with a sincere expression. 

"We love you and support you always." Chris added, before they pulled Nick in for a group hug to which he cried to his heart's content. 

"You can finally let it go Nick." Matt whispered in one ear. 

"You can be free now." Chris whispered in his other ear. Nick allowed all his worries to wash away as tears streamed down his cheeks. He was so thankful for his brothers, just as he was so thankful for the two wonderful friends he had made. If it weren't for them, then he might not have had the courage to come out to his brothers.
