POV TWILIGHT

- Are you ready for us to go? - Sunset asked me while I was fixing the handle of my bag.

- I took everything - I replied after a brief conference and held your hand - let's go.

We went down the stairs holding hands, quietly enjoying the moment. It was so natural to be there, next to her, I didn't even notice the environment around me. When we arrived at the lobby, a brief shiver went up my spine, causing me to loosen my hand that Sunset was holding. The redhead looked at me worried and stopped walking.

- How are you? - she took your hand to my bangs and made a simple caress.

- Yes, yes, I'm fine, I just... - I looked away to the ground and took a long sigh - I don't know yet if I want to risk walking hand in hand on the street, if my parents...

- Hey, Twi, it's okay - Sunset pulled me closer and allowed me to hug her, hiding my face in the curves of her neck - you don't have to worry about it, take as long as you need, okay? I'll stay with you, no matter what happens.

- Even if it takes years? - I smiled weakly and stared at my turquoise eyes.

- Even if it takes years - she ran her hand over my cheek and gave me an affectionate kiss near the eye - I'm here with you.

Feeling a little calmer, I gave him a chaste kiss on the lips before releasing his hand and we left the building. The sky was already yellow, in the opinion of becoming orange. Sunset and I walked side by side on the street, watching each other from the corner of our eyes.

I imagined how I wanted to hold my hand, hug it when winter came and the snow covered the ground, share an umbrella on rainy days, go out to dinner at those fancy restaurants or even go out for a walk at the mall. I couldn't, as much as I wanted, I couldn't, not as long as my parents could find out.

Sunset didn't seem to be ashamed or afraid to show any affection for me, he totally ignored what other people might think. Could I be like that too? No fears, no strings attached...

- Twi? - I opened my eyes seeing a hand swinging in front of me - are you okay?

- Oh, sorry - I had a weak and dull laugh - I was just thinking.

- In what? - his eyes conveyed tranquility, as well as a little curiosity.

I hesitated a little, I didn't want to be a spoiler and end the good weather we could have walking together. However, if I didn't talk about it with her, I didn't know who else I could.

- Sunset... - I looked away - what's it like to come out?

Sunset widened his eyes a little, but soon after he relaxed the muscles of his face and began to look up, with a singing smile.

- Well, when I found out that I was bisexual I was a little afraid, afraid that people would no longer want to be my friends - his hand went to the back of his neck - I found out a little after ending my relationship with Flash, and the first person I told was him.

- Were you two dating? - I asked, surprised, Sunset laughed and I felt my cheeks warm up - I mean, how did he react?

- In the most Flash way possible - Sunset rolled his eyes with a smile - he asked me what it was exactly because he wasn't sure, and when I answered, Flash told me that maybe it was too.

- I have more doubts than at the beginning - I said, sighing. Sunset smiled, squinting.

- You're really adorable - she laughed weakly - I didn't have any relatives to be worried about, but I was still afraid of what my friends would think. I told Pinkie first, and she gave me full support. "The fish shoots in the village," her words.
