Bad Boy And The Emo Fall In-Love (remake)

27

Shane expected the evening with the Williams to be more awkward, but it was the opposite. Shane already was familiar with Chance and Zane, and he got very comfortable around Sara and Will. Sara was a very pretty woman with dirty blond hair short hair and a curvy figure. Will was handsome with the same dirty blond hair, he had a built figure but softer than Zane's. They were very accepting of Shane the moment they saw them holding hands. Sara clapped happily, shouting that she knew the two were dating. Shane was almost saddened by how healthy the family dynamic was, jealous of how accepting everyone was.

"Hey, you okay?" Zane pulls Shane into a hug.

"Yeah, I just wish my parents were that cool."

Zane paused, "they don't know yet?"

"I can't do it. They'd kick me out if they knew."

"Oh baby boy, I'm sorry," the hug tightens.

"What, is everything okay?" Sara bites at her nails seeing the mood died to sadness.

"My parents don't know yet, they'd definitely kick me out if they knew. I'm just kinda jealous of how accepting you are. Sorry, I know that's wrong of me," Shane wipes at his eyes.

Zane pulls away and grabs Shane's face, "No. You're feeling are valid. Don't worry, you're not in the wrong. If that ever happens you have us, and you have your aunt. Don't ever be afraid to come to us if something goes wrong okay?"

Shane nods with a smile, then tears slip from his eyes. Sara smiles ad Zane and gave him a nod, then stepped away to give them a moment.  Zane kiss those tears away, now smothering his partner in hugs and kisses, hoping to see Shane actually smile.

"Hey, how about you go take that shower, then after I'll give you some lessons. Just cool down for now, go clear your mind."

Shane nods and gently pressed their lips together before they both head up the stairs. Zane shows him the door to the bathroom and the door to his room. Shane heads into the bathroom and Zane goes back downstairs. Zane's mother pulls him into a sudden hug.

"What's wrong?" He asked and held her shoulders.

"You two are really good for each other. You should've told us sooner you were dating. We already know about the boy, he helped you on the day of your attack at school. You could've told us, you know how we are, we love you no matter your orientation or identity."

"I know, it just slipped my mind. I've been busy recently. I just saw everyone from the city, then Shane and I started dating, and now I have a boxing match coming up," he starts rambling.

"A match?" Will pops his head up from a book. "You didn't tell us that, when is it?"

"Actually, you gonna be a little upset with me," he gives a shy smile.

His parents nod and point to the seat next to the couch. They sit and listen as Zane explains what happened at school that morning, and why he had a sudden boxing match. They weren't disappointed or surprised about the matter, they were worried. They saw Zane, the Zane still in the city. They worried he'd slip up and go back to his past. The returning at 3 in the morning, the sudden alcohol smell in his room after disappearing for the night, the anger and depression, the shutting everyone out. They worried.

Zane knew what they worried about, and he knew that their worries were pointless, but still valid. He promised to never go back, so he wasn't ever going to go back. Instead, he reassured his parents that everything was okay. He snuck up the stairs as his parents talked about him, he sighs when he gets to his room. A few minutes later Shawn knocks on the door and is let in. Shane gawks at Zane's room. his walls were red, and 2 had black soundproof pads checkered along all the walls. One wall is dedicated to his guitars, headphone collection, and various records mounted in each red square. An expensive drum set tucked away in the corner, not a speck of dust on anything. Postures of bands overlapped messily on one half of the next wall, and on the other side were 3 neat shelves holding various awards and medals.  Next to the shelves, closest to the closet were 7 folded black belts hung neatly. Shane walks over and examines the awards and black belts.
