Guys..... I'm so sorry this took so long to come out 😭 hopefully this chapter makes up for it 🤭
It's been weeks since Fukase found out that he might be gay. He didn't want to even think about it, but every time Oliver so much as looked at him, his heartbeat would quicken, and he'd forget how to breathe. The worst part was the sweaty palms whenever Oliver would hold his hand. Oliver definitely noticed, but he didn't say anything, and it didn't deter him from holding Fukase's hand, and Fukase was very grateful for that.
It was starting to get to a point where Fukase couldn't stand to be around Oliver.
He didn't know what to do, and now he supposed he understood why Oliver had to stay away from him for a bit. He had started making up excuses to stay away from Oliver on the weekends, and being disabled, it was actually incredibly easy to come up with a believable lie. It wouldn't be too bad, right? He just needed some time to figure everything out.
He had brought his friends over to his house for a sleepover, minus Oliver. He told Oliver he was in too much pain to hang out, and he told the group that Oliver was busy with something, and that's why he couldn't come. Fukase had planned to tell his friends what was wrong but.
With all of them here like this, he started getting cold feet.
He needed to tell them, he needed to, he needed help. He needed support badly.
Fukase's heart beat loudly in his head, and he felt a deep pit of dread in his stomach. Len, who had been laying on his chest as they all watched a movie, noticed this spike in Fukase's mood, and he looked up at Fukase, concern swimming in his blue eyes.
"Fukase? Are you okay?"
Fukase's chest rose and fell as his breath shortened, and now Piko and Flower were alerted as well. Piko fumbled to pause the movie as Flower sat up and pulled herself closer to Fukase.
"Everything okay, buddy?" Flower asked and rested her hand on his upper arm.
Tears welled up in his eye and began flowing down his cheek. Piko sat next to Len and held Fukase's hand. Fukase pulled his hand away and tried wiping his tears, but they just kept coming. He couldn't understand why exactly he was crying. He really couldn't. It should be easy, to just spill his heart out when he's been bottling it up for so long. It should be easy.
Len hugged him, and Flower and Piko quickly joined in the hug as well. Flower was careful to hug him on his sensitive side. They didn't say anything until Fukase began to calm down.
"Wanna tell us about it?" Piko asked gently.
Fukase nodded and finally the tears stopped coming as he wiped away the last of it. Len, Piko, and Flower pulled away from him and sat around him. The bed creaked gently under their combined weight.
Fukase sniffled. "I-I... I really... I think I'm-..." He struggled to find the right words, and Flower patted his shoulder.
"Take a second, gather your thoughts."
Fukase nodded at her and looked down at his knees as he thought about what he wanted to say, then he spoke again.
"I think I'm gay, and I think I have a crush on... Oliver."
They all stared at him blankly, and then looked around knowingly at each other.
"Um..." Len started. "That's great dude! Are you gonna tell him?"
Fukase looked at him like he was crazy. "Are you kidding me? I-I can't do that!!"
Piko nudged Len and then looked back at Fukase. "What are you gonna do about it then?"
