chapter 23: avid pant shitter

"if you're gonna start snogging me right now, i'd suggest doing it fast. im almost certain the twins might barge in any second"

"oh! better get to work fast then!" lee jokingly shifted towards luna while chuckling as she playfully swatted him away. he knew luna could sense his nervousness and hence had cracked that joke to somewhat diffuse the tension and yet it made him feel a lot more comforted and calm.

"that's actually contradictory to what i was about to spill to you-

funny really, but i think- i know im gay, luna. pretty sure, considering i have a pretty big crush on a guy." 

expecting luna to say something in return he just looked at the shorter girl with an eyebrow raised while she simply smiled at him. well, not a smile more like an obnoxious teeth showing.

"okay, what is it?" he asked, while his shoulders sagged a bit expecting his friend to be dissapointed in him, he had enough faith in the girl to know she wouldn't hate him or stop being friends with him for his revelation but he was unsure as to how supportive she would be since she's been an open ally for a while but then again none of her close friends had really been openly out, atleast as per he knew.

"oh no i just- i knew?" upon seeing lee's eyebrows scrunching she continued

"oh please, your obnoxious and borderline aggressive flirting with angelina was obvious enough that you're trying to act straight. who's the lucky man?"

"wait, so everyone knows?" lee asked, completely disregarding her question since all he could focus on was the possibility of people knowing about him being closeted. 

"no, i doubt that. if you're wondering, no one's every spoken about having doubts about you or anything. it's just, i like to think i know you well and i wanted you to talk to me ofcourse but not forcefully."

"so you don't hate me, right?"

"LEE, WHAT THE FUCK. why in the world would i hate you? you're one of my best friends, im so incredibly proud of you for this. thank you for telling me. i love you, a lot actually, i could never hate you because you like dudes. i mean, if anything it's a bit sad for all the girls that have huge crushes on you but they'll live. eh." luna quickly engulfed her friend into a hug, feeling bad for the boy to even think that someone might hate him for simply being who he is.

"i love you more, genuinely." lee said, while easing into the hug, feeling atleast 10 times better having told luna about it

"i haven't gotten around to telling anyone else. i think, i might need some time. but i do want to come out to the twins and angie before feeling comfortable enough to be openly gay and what not"

"i understand. not a word of this to anyone else, got it.

you looked so nervous, i almost thought you were pregnant" luna said

"how in the world would i be pregnant, dumbass?"

"I DONT KNOW, okay how about-

you looked like you shit yourself?" she corrected, with an eyebrow raise asking for the boy's opinion

"hmmm.. better actually! seems very me, weirdly enough" lee responded

"it absolutely does, you do look like an avid pant shitter" 

"i do, don't i?" and the two friends just sat on his bed and spoke/laughed with each other until some more time had passed and they heard a knock-

"um, lee?" they heard george's voice call out

"I NEED TO PEE CAN YOU OPEN THE DOOR?" and then fred's

luna quickly hurried to the door and unlocked it, almost getting tackled instantly by fred who rushed to the loo, not even glancing once towards the shorter girl.
george on the other hand looked at his two friends' faces curiously. he saw lee seeming extremely happy, with luna having an identical smile on her face and both their faces were extremely red ( from laughing constantly for the past 20 minutes, ofcourse he did not know that.)
