Devon's POV:
A few years ago
"Hey dad I have a question?" I ask, me and my dad have been hanging out the whole day. We haven't in a while because of him and work. But him and my mom bought me my own podcast setup and my dad was helping me set it up.
"Yeah sure, what's up?" He says, I set down my new mic and I adjust myself to face him. "So there's this person in my class" I start to say, he then immediately starts talking "is someone messing with you?" He asks, I immediately shake my head no.
"I think I might like someone, but I don't know if it's okay" I say, he sorta looks confused then response. "What do you mean you don't know if it's okay?" He asks.
"Well it's um... it's a boy, but all my friends have liked girls" I start to say, he then smiles and looks at me. "Dev, it's normal for you to like boys. May I ask what made you realize you like a boy?" He asks, I shake and my yes and tell him.
"Well a few weeks ago I was at my friend juniors house and he had this cousin over. I forgot his name but it started with a J. We started talking and he seemed really nice. I also think he was really pretty, like really really pretty. He also had soft hair, well it looked soft. But he was funny, sweet, pretty, and also gave me this weird feeling in my stomach. But it was like a good kind of weird."
"What you're feeling is completely normal. Because it's normal if you like a guy, if a girl likes a girl, if someone likes both, or if you don't even like anyone at all. But we'll get more into those things later." He starts to say.
"Well I've never felt that way about any girl. I don't think I like girls like that." I say, my dad smiles again. "That's completely normal, you know how about tonight before the movie you can tell your mom? But only if you feel comfortable enough to" he says.
I nod my head because I've been wanting to tell both of them this for a bit. But people seem to find it weird when a boy likes a boy.
That night I did tell my mom and she did understand. I felt happy about that, they did ask a lot of questions.
"So who's the boy you like?" My mom asks, "well it's jun-" then my mom interrupted me "you like Junior? He is a sweet boy" my mom says, then my dad put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry Dev, I'm just so happy you're telling us this. But I apologize for interrupting"she says, I then smile.
After we talked more about it I figured out the boy I liked was Jake. Which was a pretty name. Pretty name for a pretty boy.
Back in the present..
Yesterday felt like a blur. The only thing I will remember is Jake. Him telling me about his dad, him sleeping in my bed, and me sleeping next to him in my bed.
"Well I like boys, as in you know.. I'm gay" Jake says, I don't know where that came from but I found it sweet. "Really I couldn't tell" I say in a sarcastic tone. We start to laugh and then I speak again. "You know I also like boys as well" I say, then we both burst into laughter.
Then when we stopped laughing we were looking at each other. I thought about kissing him then and there. But I had a small idea for that moment. So then also we won't get interrupted by my mom coming home or Jake's bitch of a father.
I did remember something my mom mentioned to me. She was working at another station across town; so she's going to be at a hotel for a couple of days. So I didn't have to worry about explaining to my mom that I had a boy over.
We then get out of my room and start hanging out in my kitchen. We were really just talking and laughing about random things. But then someone opened the door.
