Heartbeats in the Storm 🍭Leon X Sandy⭐

Unconditional Support 💞

*Sandy notices Leon's nervousness.*

"What's wrong, Leon? Why are you nervous?"

*Leon takes a deep breath.*

"I'm nervous because I'm not sure how they'll react to me coming here with you. I'm worried, I guess."

*As they open the door, they find Nita and Bo in the kitchen.*

*Bo says with a sarcastic tone:*

"Finally, you're here, Leon... I didn't even notice Sandy was with you."

*Leon freezes upon seeing his father and sister in the kitchen. He can tell by his father's tone that there's something serious about to happen.*

"Yeah, I'm here just like you asked. What do you want to talk about?"

*Bo gestures for them to sit.*

"Sit down, Sandy too."

*Leon and Sandy sit beside each other. Leon feels a growing sense of dread while Sandy remains confused.*

*Bo says:*

"Jessy told me something. If you want to confess now, you're welcome."

*Leon's body tenses. He feels a wave of anxiety wash over him.*

"What exactly did she tell you?"

*Bo responds:*

"Son, I already knew you were gay..."

*Nita, surprised, adds:*

"Brother, you're gay?"

*Leon's eyes widen at his father's revelation. He glances at Nita, who has just come to the same realization.*

"Y-Yes... I am gay. And I'm sure that's not all Jessy told you, right?"

*Bo says:*

"She told me everything. Leon, and I want to say something to you and Sandy."

*Sandy, feeling nervous, starts to tremble.*

*Leon's anxiety increases. He looks at Sandy, who is visibly distressed.*

"Okay, say what you want to say."

*Bo continues:*

"I knew Jessy cheated on you and that she wasn't the best girlfriend. Leon, I'm your father. It doesn't matter if you're gay-I will always support you."

*Nita adds:*

"I support you too, Leon. We love you. We are family."

*Leon is surprised by his father and sister's support. He is so speechless that he struggles to respond.*

"Y-You guys... really accept that I'm gay? You're not mad that I like other boys?"

*Bo reassures him:*

"If you're happy, we don't care who you like. We know Sandy is a good guy. If you want to date him, no problem. Tara and Gene are my friends; it's better."

*Nita nods:*

"Leon, I think the same. We don't care who you like. If you're happy with Sandy, I love that. I only want to see you happy."

*Leon is overwhelmed with emotion. He starts to tear up.*

"I-I don't even know what to say... I'm so glad you guys are okay with it. Thank you... thank you for supporting me. And not just me, but my relationship with Sandy. I really appreciate it."

*Bo and Nita smile warmly.*

"Thanks for supporting Leon. I appreciate it. I'm so happy right now."

*Sandy, deeply moved, is on the verge of tears. He never expected Bo and Nita to be so supportive.*

*Leon smiles softly as he thanks his family and holds Sandy's hand tightly.*

"Me too... I'm so glad they support us. This is a relief. I was so scared they wouldn't accept my sexuality and us as a couple."

*Bo and Nita open their arms.*

"Come here. Let's have a family hug."
