James sat on his bed, his knees pulled up under his chin. He'd made a horrible mistake. What did everyone think of him now? Did they hate him? He hoped to merlin they didn't.
He wondered absently how he would act when he went back to school. It wasn't easy to go back to school after revealing your darkest secret to your entire family.
James looked up when he heard footsteps coming towards the door.
His father entered, a deep frown on his face. James felt his whole body tense. Would he be disowned? Kicked out of the house? Hated?
"James, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Harry's voice was almost a whisper.
James gulped.
"B-because... I was scared..." His voice was quiet, and he stared down at his hands.
Harry sat down next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. James looked at his father, trying to find a sign that everything was going to be okay in the end.
"Jaime, we don't care if you're gay. That's just who you are. Same as if you were transgender or bisexual. We all still love you for who you are. It doesn't matter if you love a man."
James felt tears starting to fall down his face. Harry sighed and smiled comfortingly. He wrapped an arm around James and hugged him, placing James' face on his shoulder. James sobbed, letting everything that he had been holding in for the last four months out on his father's shoulder.
This was one of the things he loved and admired about his father. In situations like this, his father knew when people needed a shoulder to cry on. Maybe he had a sixth sense for it, but it made James feel better immensely to know his father still loved him even though he loved a man.
"Hey, look on the bright side. This means I won't get any mischievous grandchildren from you. Lord knows those kids would be holy terrors." Harry joked half-heartedly, trying to cheer James up.
James laughed weakly. Maybe it would all be okay. He had his father and best friends to confide to.
"There's still adoption." He joked back.
Harry gasped dramatically.
"Oh dear merlin, I'm going to die young because of you."
James laughed again.
"Let's go back downstairs, yeah? Grandma was just about to serve dessert. You know her desserts always make you happy." Harry smiled lightly at James before standing up, offering a hand to James to pull him up.
"It's okay. We still love you, no matter what." Harry turned and walked out of the door. James stood there, trying to collect himself. It wasn't much, but he had one more person he knew that would be his rock.
