«Joey's house. 12:20pm»
~•~•~•~•~•~
"Mom! I'm going out today, I'm going to surprise my friend"
His mom didn't answer, it was probably better that way.
He turned from the direction he was facing and walked through the door to the patio.
There he found Daniel sitting on the fence again, this time, throwing a tennis ball up in the air and catching it again.
"Oh hi!" Daniel says, sounding way more excited then he should.
"Hey" Joey says, walking over to the fence and standing by it, leaning his arm of the flat surface.
"Shouldn't you be at school?"
"I skipped today, pretended I was sick. I think– I think I want to be homeschooled"
Daniel patted the length of fence beside him and Joey hopped up.
"What's wrong?"
Joey thought for a moment.
"Nothing, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I wasn't born yesterday Joey! I know there's something wrong and you will tell me!" Daniel pushes and Joey sighs.
"Okay okay! It's just that— I get bullied such a lot for my sexuality and because I sound feminine and I just can't Daniel I just can't!" Joey blubbery stupidly but Daniel just puts his arm around the other boy. "It's okay Joey. Tell you what, go tell your parents that you want to be homeschooled. I'm sure they'll agree"
Joey nods his head and jumps off the fence. "See you tomorrow Danny?"
"Danny?"
"Yeah it's your new nickname"
Daniel laughs.
"Bye then Jojo"
Joey smiles and heads back inside.
"Uh mom, dad, can I ask you a question?" Joey nervously asks his parents.
"Sure Jo!"
"Well I uh wanted to know if I could maybe um, be homeschooled?"
Slap
His fathers hand collided with his left cheek and made a red handprint.
Tears spilled over Joey's eyes as his mother stood there either oblivious or didn't see or hear the action.
"How dare you think such a thing!" His father yelled.
"Hey, he can be homeschooled if he wants to! I mean it will give him more of a chance to see Daniel over the fence" his mother smirks at him and he blushed.
Slap
"And that's for being a gay faggot who can't do anything for himself!!"
Joey was scared as he ran out the door into his yard and through to the front door of Daniel's house.
He bashed on the door.
"Oh my god Joey!" Daniel exclaims as he spots Joey's swollen cheek and red handprint. "I thought you said your parents didn't hurt you" a tear rolls down his cheek. "Th-they didn't" he gulps. "Not until I told them about homeschool" Daniel ushers the younger boy into his house. "Fuck, I'm sorry! This is all my fault."
"No no no! It's not. Don't blame my family issues on yourself Daniel! This is my fairy because they're my parents and I should've known they weren't accepting"
Daniel sighed and ran a hand through his dark brown hair.
"Okay, but— you're staying at mine Joey, until they promise they won't do anything like this again. I can't bare to see you this hurt" he says shyly.
Their lips collide and mould into one.
A/N: ooooh the beginning of janiel guys! And there will be lots of drama in this so please don't kill me!
