[ Carrington and Jake come out on Instagram as a couple to their fans on social media ]

___________________________________________

"Are you ready?" Carrington asked as he was seated on the couch. His hands hold his phone as he watches his boyfriend Jake enter the living room.

"Yeah I'm ready but I'm just nervous and anxious about the whole thing" Jake replied as he takes a seat next to Carrington.

Carrington takes a hold of Jake's hand. "Oh baby, it's gonna be okay. I know coming out on social media can be scary, but we have a lot of understanding fans and they'll be supporting us!" He beamed happily.

Jake sighed. "I know but there's the other half of homophobic people.." he replied, looking at Carrington with worry.

Carrington's heart sank. He puts his phone on the coffee table. He grabbed Jake's hands. "Baby, we don't need to worry about the haters against us. We're in love and that's okay. I just think coming out to our fans will be a great announcement about our new relationship together."

"You really think so?" Jake asked, looking up at Carrington. Carrington nodded. "Yes babe. I'd say let's post something first about the announcement."

Jake thought for a moment before he nodded his head. He agreed with Carrington's statement. "Yes, let's do it then."

"Alright. As long as it's okay with you." Carrington replied as he grabbed his phone back. "We can post it on both of our accounts."

"Kay." Jake muttered, taking out his phone. It was quiet for a moment as Jake and Carrington are creating their own posts to come out to their fans about their new bloomed relationship.

They both click post at the same time and set their phones down on the coffee table.

Jake's hand started shaking. "Babe I'm nervous.." he mumbled.

Carrington pulled Jake close and hugged him. "It's okay to be nervous at first love, but I'm sure everyone is gonna support us. And if some don't then their opinion doesn't matter. As long as we are happy that's all that matters."

Soon enough, they heard their phones beeping like crazy from notifications. Jake grabbed his phone immediately.

Carrington laid his head onto Jake's shoulder. Jake opened up his Instagram app.

He clicked his notification window and saw a bunch of notifications. Thousands.

Jake sighed nervously as he clicked to view the comments on his coming out Instagram post.

But he sighed in relief to see a bunch of supportive comments and heart emojis and rainbow flag emojis.

"See? I told you everything was going to go fine." Carrington reassured. Jake started to giggle as he scrolled. "Some think it's a prank babe."

"Oh really?" Carrington smirked. Jake nodded. "Yeah really. They think so see?" As he held his phone up to Carrington.

Carrington said, "well perhaps we should go live on Instagram and explain the situation and really come out."

Jake gasped. Looking up at Carrington with wide eyes of anxiety. "Like actually- Livestream?"

Carrington nodded his head. "Yeah, Livestream. On Instagram or twitch I don't care either."

Jake hummed, "I'd say Instagram since we're already on the app with my phone."

"So you down to Livestream it?" Carrington asked. Jake nodded, "yeah..I think so. Sorry babe, I'm just anxious."

Carrington rubbed Jake's shoulder. "It's okay babe. We're already getting positive feedback, but I know you're worried about the negative comments. But if you see any just block them okay sweetie?"

Jake nodded, "okay hon"

After a few minutes of Jake taking some deep breaths and Carrington's calming words. Jake felt ready enough Livestream on Instagram.

jakewebber9 is LIVE!

Jake clicks the live button his Instagram account and they're streaming now. He held his phone back so Carrington and Jake are on frame of the video streaming service.

"Hi guys!" Carrington greeted as the fans started flooding in and spamming the chat with greeting comments and heart emojis.

Jake tucked his face into Carrington's shoulder. Hiding his face since he started to feel flustered about the entire thing.

Carrington wrapped an arm around Jake's shoulder and took the phone from Jake. He began to do the talking.

"I'm sure you guys saw the post on me and Jake's Instagram pages and we wanted to actually confess to you all that yes, me and Jake started dating. We actually kept this a secret from the Internet for the past few months or so... Me and Jake started to hook up in secret and we started officially dating at the 'evil party' so around August but we began crushing on each other in July. So we've been together actually for about 4 months or so." Carrington explained to the Instagram live chat.

Jake lifted his head and nodded to confirm the truth. "Yeah, I started to have a crush on Carrington in July but I actually didn't tell him I liked him until like August." He explained.

Carrington nodded, "yeah, so it's been a while. And we decided to share it with the Internet. We know there gonna be haters online and we kinda knew that. But we're happy as a couple and that's all that matters and we hope you support us too"

Jake nodded. Before he read a question. "You guys should kiss for proof?" He read out loud.

Carrington laughed. "We aren't pranking! We're being for real!" Jake huffed before he grabbed Carrington's face and crashed his lips onto Carrington's.

They shared a kiss before they departed it and looked at the Livestream chat. The chat went wild. Everyone was spamming heart emojis and 'congratulations' over and over.

Jake smiled, "see? Not kidding." As he tucked his face into Carrington's shoulder again.

Carrington smiled, "yeah so Jake is my boyfriend and we just wanted to hop on stream on here to let you guys know"

The chat continues to spam heart emojis and spam supportive comments on their relationship.

Jake lifted his head, "that's all we uh- had to say on here and we'll be more open with our relationship on here and social media in the future"

Carrington waved, "thank you guys for listening!! Bye!!"

Jake kissed Carrington's cheek and then ended the Livestream on Instagram.

"See? Babe that wasn't so bad" Carrington said as he looked at Jake. Jake nodded. "Yeah I guess so.. I'm just worried we're gonna get so much hate."

"Babe, you can't let them get to you. As long as we're happy that's all that should really matter. Who gives a fuck about what those people think. I love you Jake, for you as a person." Carrington says in a serious and lovey tone.

Jake started to smile. "Thanks babe. I love you too." As he cuddled up with Carrington on the couch.

The couple cuddled and Jake scrolled on his Instagram account, reading more comments and then going on his Instagram feed to scroll.

Happy that they shared their feelings on the Internet and glad that their fans are supportive and welcoming for their relationship.
