EMON FF//Is Emon Real?

The truth

10mins later we all have a ping on our phone, it's a tweet off Ethan...

@behzinga: A good friend helped me realise my true self. This is hard to say but I'm coming out the closet..
@behzinga: I'm gay. Like it or not. I hope you guys can still support me but it's been on my chest for a while.
@behzinga: My mum supports me and hopefully my friends. That's all that matters.

We all stare at each other, confused at what to say. Yeah we all accept it but it's just a lot to take in. Even for a gay person like me!

'Well that just happened' Josh said 'why didn't he just tell us first though?' Harry and Vikk agreed.

'I guess he was scared of our reaction. I can only assume he was disappointed in himself for being in denial and he was scared for his friends reaction' I say. I still remember the first time I came out to my brothers and parents. My brothers were okay with it and so was my dad but my mum wasn't. We would have endless arguments which would result in me doing bad things and hurting myself but we've become more civil now and we can sort of act like a normal family.

JJ smiles at me reassuring me that everything will be good.

'I'm going to go upstairs guys, I'm not feeling too well, make sure to keep me updated on the house situation!' I say as I head upstairs. I get in the bed and i quickly message Ethan

S- Hey man, are you alright?

I awaited a text for ages but one never came through but before I could stop myself I was pretty much fast asleep.

*JJ's POV*

I decided to check on Simon as the whole Ethan thing seemed to shook him up. I new Simon the best out of all the sidemen and I could clearly see that he had a crush on Ethan.

As I walked upstairs I find a Simon sleeping peacefully in bed but he had left his phone unlocked on a conversation with Ethan.

S- Hey man, are you alright?
E- yeah I guess, my dad is mad but he'll get used.
E- Thank you Si. It was you last night who made me realise.
E- I know I was drunk but I remember everything that happened, from cuddling you to kissing you to falling asleep with you. Everything.

Oh my god. I feel bad for reading that but are Simon and Ethan going to be a thing? Should I help them get together? I know the perfect plan.

*Simons POV*

I awoke with my phone open in my hand to messages off Ethan.

S- Hey man, are you alright?
E- yeah I guess, my dad is mad but he'll get used.
E- Thank you Si. It was you last night who made me realise.
E- I know I was drunk but I remember everything that happened, from cuddling you to kissing you to falling asleep with you. Everything.

I decide to reply.

S-Behz, please come back to Josh's we're worried about you and we all support you.

I eagerly awaited a reply again but Josh shouted me to come downstairs. I put my phone in my pocket and walk in the living room to find everyone sitting down and looking at Ethan. Ethan looked so scared. I remember how hard it was for me to come out to my friends and sadly I lost them because of it. Except for JJ. Olajide was the popular  introvert kid and he was more than happy to take me under his wing, after all, he needed a gay best friend.

'I'm sorry' Ethan whimpers out 'I was scared to face you guys. I didn't want to lose you'.

'Well you could of just told us ya know' Harry scoffed 'it's pathetic, I'm out' and Just like that Harry storms out.

'Don't worry about him man, he'll get used to it soon' Tobi speaks reassuringly.

I motion Ethan over to me and I pull him on my lap. 'Uh guys, I am gay too'. The room filled with silence. JJ comes up to me and hugs me 'Well done Si and you too Ethan'.

'Does that mean you guys are a thing?' Vikk asks.

Me and Ethan look at each and we nodded.
