y/n pov:

what was i thinking? what if Emily tells my dad what she thought i was going to say? fuck. And i couldn't even talk to her about it because i had a study session with Harry Brunton the man i'm apparently supposed to marry someday

"am i really that bad of a guy kid"

"shut up Harry you're 3 months older than me don't call me kid i hate it"

"you should be nicer to the future father of your children" he was joking , Harry had about as much intention of marrying me as i did him

"Brunton i've known you since you were in diapers i swear to god i wouldn't have children with you if we were the last two people alive" i smiled at him and punched him in the arm

"so Grant cmon tell me what's going on in the old love life since you've ripped my heart out and  broken it into a million pieces on the floor" he did a dramatic performance of him ripping out his heart and crumbling it on the floor

"you know i'm focused on my studies"

"no ladies catching your eye then"

"harry shut up keep it down" harry and me are best-friends i've known him forever, i never told him i was gay he just kind of knew, and he's never old a soul, he's the one person i can really talk to.

"sorry y/n, but are there? any love prospects out there?" he whispered it hoping for nobody else to hear even though me, him emily and his security detail were the only ones in the room, i shook my head then darted my eyes at emily then back at my algebra work

"oh my god you so have the hots for that security guard"

"stop no i do not"

"what's her name?"

"Emily Prentiss"

"oh she so likes you"

"what no she doesn't why uhm why would you even say that"

"please shes been googly eyeing you and death staring me since i arrived"

"don't be ridiculous Brunton it's nothing her job is literally to watch over me all day, plus she's not even gay"

"you've asked her that"

"no but i mean-"

"she's totally gay, are you blind that is a gay woman right there"

"come on idiot let's just finish this up" i jokingly hit him on the head and we spent the next 2 hours doing our work and laughing at eachother

"right well i should head off, but i'll see you at the gala this weekend yes?"

"ugh i forgot about that, yes i'll see you there" Harry kissed me on the cheek and left

Emily pov:

i had to spend hours watching them laugh and joke fight, i mean i thought she was going to tell me she was gay but maybe not, her and Harry seemed close, and that kiss ugh made me wanna throw up, he was a snotty rich boy she shouldn't be around boys like him.

"hey Emily i just wanted to make sure you didn't get the wrong idea about earlier, i didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" i was a lot of things uncomfortable was not one of them, i love being around y/n

"you and Harry seem like a good match" she suddenly showed a look of almost disgust on her face but tried to hide it

"stop i told you me and Harry are just friends, plus he's the only one who knows that i'm a lesb-"

"y/n a word" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! ARE YOU JOKING!! i get hes the president but for once can people not interrupt

"agent prentiss you're excused for an hour i would like to speak to my daughter" i fought every urge in my body to tell him to fuck off so i could hear what y/n wanted to say but alas i'd get fired so i just agreed and i left.

y/n pov:

maybe this is all a sign from the universe im not meant to tell Emily i'm gay, maybe it's gods way of telling me to just marry Harry and get over it

"i wanted to apologise for yesterday"

"it's fine"

"i should not have payed hands on you sweetheart"

"i'll get over it"

"i was hoping you and i could go out for dinner tonight just the two of us like we used to?"

"dad im sick of fancy dinners you can't bribe my forgiveness im not a little kid anymore"

"no i suppose you're not, why don't we go-"

"dad i don't want to go anywhere i just want to go and read" he looked kind of sad but it wasn't my job to make him feel better not after what he did suddenly he tensed up

"right okay, another thing the gala this weekend"

"yes dad i know i have my dress fitting tomorrow"

"not just that, Harry will be escorting you there as your officialcoming out" now that's ironic

"coming out as what exactly?"

"fiancés" i'm sorry what. the. FUCK!

"but i'm not engaged to Harry, im not even dating Harry"

"you are now, you are going to tell everyone you've been dating a while and just wanted to keep it out of the public eye, you will say he proposed to you and you're set to be married in May" i was shocked i couldn't say anything i was paralysed in that spot, my entire future determined for me

"your engagement ring is in your room go and put it on then you may go and read"

"you're the worst dad ever, mum would hate how you've turned out" i stormed out making sure to slam the door loudly and went to my room, there was in fact a ring box on my coffee table, i opened it and it was beautiful

"hey kid i'm coming in" Harry walked into my room and sat on the sofa next to me

"your dad told you?"

"yeah he just did, i'm sorry y/n, i know this isn't what you wanted"

"what're you gonna do about Elizabeth" Elizabeth had been Harrys secret girlfriend for 2 years, i'd met her and she was lovely i really do like her

"i don't know i mean i love her, but what can we do, i'm set to marry you, how about you what're you gonna do about Agent prentiss?"

"nothing, what can i do? you and i are engaged when i'm gay and you're in love with somebody else what do we do when the country expects kids, when our dads expect grankids?"

"i guess we could always adopt a baby and pretend you gave birth for 9 months we will just feed you lots of eclairs and fatten you up" we giggled then there was a moment of silence, it wasn't awkward i think it just hit us that we would actually have to be married and never be fulfilled

"i guess you should put on the ring" i sighed and put the ring on then Harry side hugged me and i curled up to him on the sofa and we stayed like that for a long time so long that we both ended up falling asleep.
