Finally, we're finally back. We won Copa America, and it was an amazing feeling. That was two days ago, but I'm just happy it's finally over. So I'm finally back at United now. I was greeted well there by everyone, especially one; Antony. As soon as he saw me, he pulled me into an empty room so we were alone. He placed his hands on my waist, and let his lips kiss mine. I love him, so I don't mind. What I do mind is him not wanting to tell the others yet. I came out as gay to the whole team, my family and friends after me and him had been dating for a year, but he still hasn't. Whenever anyone sees us together he acts as if we're just friends. I just don't understand why he has to be that way. I just want to be open about it, but he's 'not ready yet', like come on! We've been dating for over two years! But all that didn't matter right now, so I just kissed him back. After a short while of us standing in that position, I heard footsteps, and I believe he did too. He quickly pushed me away and stepped away from me, running his hand through his hair in the process. He cleared his throat as Bruno suddenly walked in. He had this tired yet uneasy look on his face, that's just the way he looks, sure, but it's worse than usual. "Boss told me to tell you guys to get back to training." the Portugese explained, gesturing towards the door. "Okay." Antony said, and started walking out. "Wait for me babe!" I said with a kind of irritated, yet also a little laugh. I really wanted someone to know, and since Bruno came out as gay a bit before I did, I felt he'd be a good one to be let know of this. "Babe?" Antony asked with a stupid laugh, which instantly turned into a serious expression. "Look, I know you're gay, but I'm not your fucking boyfriend, so don't act like it." he said sounding legit like he was serious. My eye twitched slightly, and fist clenched. "Excuse me?" I said feeling annoyed. He rolled his eyes and grinned. Bruno didn't seem to really care about our arguement, he looked like he was just waiting for us to leave. "I'm straight Licha, you know that." he said, staring me dead in the eye. "Antony--" I started saying when Bruno interrupted. "Can you guys leave? I'm gonna be in trouble if you don't." he said sounding very serious, and just looking really tired. "Yeah yeah, chill out Bruno." Antony said, walking out. I sighed and turned to Bruno. "Just go." he said. I nodded and left. I quickly ran after Antony, but couldn't find him. I felt startled as I got pulled to the side. Antony pinned me up against the wall, looking genuinley sorry. "Licha, I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm not ready yet..." he apologised. "I don't want to force you, but I just think it will be much easier if you--" I tried saying when he interrupted by pressing his lips up against mine. I pushed him off roughly, kind of startled by the sudden action. "Come on! We haven't seen each other in a while." he whined, holding my hand. "Why can't you do what I want then?" I asked feeling a bit ticked off by him already. "I... I will soon. I swear. Just give me some time." he said, smiling at me. I smiled back, and nodded. We walked back out to the training grounds, met by Erik ten Hag: our boss/trainer. "Now where the fuck is Bruno?" he asked looking kind of pissed off. We shrugged and walked past him. "Marcus! Go find Bruno!" I could hear Erik shout at Rashford behind us. Marcus sighed, rolled his eyes, and nodded. He left, and we got back to training.
