Soulmate

"out" under the stars

days went by and Connor and troye continued writing,receiving, and erasing drawings and notes and yet neither noticed each others markings. The boys got closer the longer they were at the institute. It seemed when the two were together their issues just melted away.

connor's POV

 I have to tell him soon, before he finds out on his own... I told myself. I took a deep breath "hey troye?" I squeeked "yeah connah?" "umm can I talk to you about something?" "yeah, of course. Lets go to the garden" he said with a gentle smile. The garden was in a small secluded area, it was overgrown and surrounded by flowers and plants. There was a beautiful view of the stars, framed by a large opening in the top of a large flowering blush. It was the perfect night. A cold breeze blew and suddenly I became anxious... "connah?" " You don't have to be nervous" he said to me. It calmed my spirits. "troye... I wanted to tell you......." I couldn't finish. A lump formed in my throat. What if he didnt accept me? "go ahead,love" he said quietly. Love-he just called me love... I felt a blush bloom on my cheeks. "I'm gay" I said simply. I tried to read his face but he was expressionless. My heart sank and I felt tears brim my eyes. I let my head fall as I waited for screaming and anger and hatred. I waited for the hurt and pounding, I braced myself for the abuse but... It never came. Troye looked at me an pulled me into a hug. "connah, I'm gay too" he said smiling. Now it was my turn to be astonished. We fell asleep like that under a canopy of stars.
