Londy One Shots

Just Tonight🌶

Lonny adjusted his tie. His coat hanging over the back of his chair. Today was a perfect day for Lonny's sister, Emma. Her dream wedding went off without a hitch and he was thrilled for her. She wanted to get married in Montreal so hotels were needed for most of the wedding party and guests, but the reception was held at the hotel so no need for drivers.

He wasn't in the wedding party(thank god), but seeing as his sister had been a bit of a bridezilla, he didn't get much peace during the whole ordeal. Though, as his mother reminded everyone, it was her special day and they had to make sure everything went to plan and that she was happy.

Lonny watched as happy couples danced together and smiled. His parents were out there, smiling at each other as they spun around the dance floor. They were so cute. Lonny adored his parents. His brother was out there with his daughter too. She was too small to actually dance on her own, but he held her as he danced around. It was adorable.

Lonny saw Emma walk towards him and internally sighed. Emma and Lonny were close of course, just like he and his brother, Miguel. That closeness brought overstepping though.

"You need to dance with Sarah!" Emma exclaimed over the loud music. There it was.

"Why do I need to do that?" Lonny asked through gritted teeth. This was the third friend of his sisters that she had suggested(demanded) he dance with. Did she not get the hint yet?

"She's so nice and gorgeous! You'll love her." His sister insisted, pushing him towards the blonde standing a few feet away.

Lonny looked to his brother in law pleadingly, who shrugged and laughed. No help from him.

"She's not my typ-." Lonny tried to argue, but it was too late. He was standing in front of the woman who looked at him expectantly. "Wanna dance?" Lonny asked half-heartedly. The woman nodded, taking Lonny's hand. He glanced back to see his sister grinning ear to ear.

"Its Emma's day. Just make her happy." His mother's voice reminded him. He didn't understand why his dating life was so important to Emma though. Or any of his family for that matter.

Sarah was nice and beautiful, but she wasn't his type. He wasn't into bubbly blondes. Lainey was also nice and beautiful, but he didn't really like "baddies". Eleanor was too but he wasn't into redheads. His problem was that his type wasn't any of his sisters friends.

His type wasn't women.

Yeah, that was kind of a big problem.

Lonny had known he was gay for a few years now. He knew that he needed to come out to his family. It was years in the making, he just didn't know how to have that conversation with them. How does one say "oh by the way, I've been gay this whole time so stop trying to fix me up with girls, please." Yeah no.

It wasn't that his family were homophobic- at least he didn't think so-. It was just... a weird conversation to have. Especially at his age. Lonny was a bit of a late bloomer when it came to his sexuality. By the time he came to terms with things, everyone else had a solid idea of who they thought Lonny was. How exactly does he turn around and tell them that they were completely wrong?

"That was fun! We should-." Sarah started, but Lonny was already walking towards the bar. "Nice to meet you too." He called over his shoulder.

Lonny had tried the whole beard thing- one his best friends was a lesbian and was more than happy to push coming out to her family back a couple of years. It was fun, sure. He got to hang out with his friend while not constantly being asked why he hadn't given his parents grandchildren yet. It was a win-win in Lonny's book. Eventually though, Lonny's friend met someone and then she was ready to come out. Bye-bye, beard.
