Thomas pov

Dylan and I walked downstairs. "Mom?" I said as Dylan and I walked into the living room. "Yes?" She answered. "I think I need to tell you something" I said nervous. "Indeed" she said, it scared me a little. "You have to introduce him to me. So tell me, who is your boyfriend?" My mom asked me with a smile. "Ehm... this is Dylan, but that's not what I wanted to tell you. I wanted to say that I am gay and-" she interupted me "I don't want you to tell me this like you need to announce it. I don't want you to feel like you need 'permission' because I will always love you, no matter what" she said. "You guys want something to drink and cookies?" She added. I was astonished, I didn't expect her to react so positively. "Sure" was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

A few minutes later my mom walked in with a plate filled with cookies. "thank you" I said with a smile. "everything for you, sweetheart" she said as she smiled back at me.
"I have a meet up for work, so I'll leave in five minutes" my mom said as she smiled at me. She looked at Dylan, still smiling, and said, "make yourself at home" Dylan just smiled back.

When my mom left home we cuddled up in front of the tv, with a warm blanked pulled up to our shoulders.
Just when I found a comfortable position, my phone rang. Dylan paused the movie we were watching as I picked up and putted it on speaker. "Um, Thomas? Hey, it's me, Irene... can I ask you something" I heard a girl saying on the other side. I looked over at Dylan who was staring confused at my phone. A few seconds later he looked at me. "Who's Irene?" Dylan whispered with a frown.

"Sure, what do you want to ask?" I heard Thomas say. "This might be a little weird, but uh, do you wanna, like, you know... hang out?" Irene asked nervously. "Ehh, right now? Because right now I'm with someone else" Thomas said nervously. "What's going on?" I whispered. "Nothing" Thomas whispered back. When he hang up I asked him who she was and he explained what happened at the store and gave me my present. "Aww, that's so sweet! Now I feel bad I didn't buy you anything, but that girl, Irene..." Thomas sighed, "I love you, and nobody else, don't you worry"
We continued the movie. We didn't say much, but when the movie was over I stood up. "Take my hand" I said as I held out my hand to Thomas. "Why?" He asked. I smiled "you aren't going to tell me that you don't trust me, are you?" Thomas rolled his eyes. "After you let me down by the cinema and ate all the cookies, what do you think?" But he grabbed my hand anyway. "Where are we going?" He asked. I smiled. "that's a surprise"
