The Howlter Family Life [[DISCONTINUED]]

Chapter 17

3 Days Later

Dil's POV
Its been 4 days that Brett and I have been dating. I want to wait until Saturday, and today is Thursday, so I have to wait 2 days until I can tell Dan and Phil that I'm gay and have a boyfriend. I called Brett and told him that I think we should come out on Saturday. He agreed.
SATURDAY

I called Brett at 10:34 AM and he came over looking happy, but nervous. I was twisting my sweater sleeve around in nervousness. Brett kept chewing on his lip.
We walked downstairs holding hands and walked to Dan and Phil, who were cuddling on the couch. Brett smirked at seeing Dan, then stopped and cleared his throat when we both stood in front of them. They looked at us, and widened their eyes, then looked at each other and smiled a little. They looked back at us and payed attention. Phil then grabbed the remote and muted the TV, that way I know that they are both listening.
"Hi." Brett waved. "Hello!" Dan greeted. "Hi!" Phil greeted. "Umm...." Brett and I sat on the couch across from Dan and Phil. "So, uh, I...um...B-Brett is my friend.....that....umm....Ok so...umm...so....I...uh...I'm g-gay....and so is Brett....um...and..we became friends...and..um...now...he's my...um...b-boyfr...b-boyfriend." I shut my eyes and bit my lip. Why am I so nervous to come out to Dan and Phil if they're gay, too?
I felt tears coming, so I put my legs up and onto the couch to put my head in it. I squeezed Brett's hand and let go so that I could hold my legs. "D-Dil, baby," Dan started as he and Phil walked over to me. Phil walked over to Brett, but looked at me, and Dan walked over to me. "You don't have to be afraid to tell us if you're gay or not. We love you and always will. We will always respect you. We love you no matter what, okay?"
I nodded and lifted my head up. Dan and Phil kissed my cheeks. "Why are you so nervous to tell us this anyway?" Dan asked, hinting. "I..I j-just thought...um...that...um..um...that you wouldn't like, l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love me anymore." I hugged Dan tightly and sobbed into his chest.
Dan's POV
Oh my goodness. (A) our boy is afraid to tell his gay parents that he is gay. (B) he hasn't stuttered that much since the 4th Grade.
I gently stroked Dil's hair. "Hush, we will always love you. Forever."
Dil's POV

Dan was stroking my hair as I lay with him on the other couch and Phil was telling Brett a more-worded version of what Dan said. Dan kissed my hair as we watched a British Bake-Off show.
I felt safe at this moment. I felt loved. I felt like there wasn't a single problem in the World. I felt like nothing would ever happen. Ever. I was wrong. Really really wrong.
