Garrance~My Sweet Prince

Our first date and a small mistakes

Laurances POV

At the park

I got out of the car and Garroth did the same, we didn't talk much on the car ride here but I guess we'll make up for that soon.

I walked over to Garroth and took his hand in mine "It's a little bit of a walk, but trust me, its worth it!" I smiled

"Whatever you say." He giggled.

We walked the path to the entrance of the woods, we held hands and he leaned his head on my shoulder, it was so cute!

We finally got my hiding spot, there were wild flowers growing everywhere and the perfect view of a close by waterfall.

"I can see why you love this place so much, its beautiful!" Garroth said laying down in the soft grass.

I laid down with him, "So I was thinking, should we make a big deal about coming out?" I asked. "I honestly don't care how we tell the others, If you wanna tell them now then we can."

"So when we get home i'll just make kik group chat and send 'Hey, Garroth and I are dating.' Hows that sound?" I said sarcastically. 

"If that's what you wanna do." He laughed.

"Lets just tell Dante and Travis we're dating when we get home, then they'll go tell the girls and the girls will tell everyone else, problem solved." I said annoyed, That's when Garroth stood up and looked at me.

"Laurance, is something wrong? You seem upset..." I saw the fear in his eyes, I know I made him worried.

"I'm sorry Garroth, Travis and Dante just kinda pissed me of earlier when they kept teasing us." I started getting really worked up, I don't know why... I really never get like this in front of other people.

Garroth noticed my actions so he moved closer to me and held me so I'd calm down. "Its okay Laurance... They weren't teasing us for being gay, they just thought it was funny cause they still think we're only friends." He calmed me, and somehow he knew exactly why I was upset.

I didn't even realize I was crying... I never cry in front of people... I hate crying in front of people, it makes me seem weak "Can we go home now?" I asked him. "Of coarse!" He kissed my forehead, helped me stand up and we walked back to the car.

Back at the house

Garroths POV

I drove home from the park, I could tell Laurance was still upset... I wish I could say I understand what it's like for him to face this judgement, but I can't... I'm not normally fazed by what other people think of me, and I've never had to come out to anyone or be scared of rejection like he has. Its been like this for him ever since high school...

"Welcome home, did you love birds have fun?" Dante said as he laughed which made Laurance pissed, he said something under his breath and stormed up to his room.

"Whats wrong with him?" Travis asked, joining in on the conversation.

"You guys keep teasing us about being gay!" 

"Why are you mad about this? Are you homophobic or something?" Travis asked.

"NO, ME AND LAURANCE ARE GAY!" I yelled in frustration. The looks on there faces... "Oops..." I whispered under my breath.

"That explains a lot..." Dante said still in shock. "So does that mean you and Laurance are dating?" Travis asked. "Yes, please don't make a big deal out of it, I'm not sure if Laurance wanted you to know..." Ugh I really hope I didn't mess up.

"Why wouldn't he want us to know?" Travis asked. "I'm not sure, he's been really stressed out lately, I'm worried about him..." I replied.

"Why don't you go talk to him?" Dante asked "I know I should but Laurance isn't always open to talk about things like this..."

"But there's no harm in trying to talk to him." Dante said. "I'll go talk to him in a few minutes. He really needs some time to cool off." I said as I walked up to my room.

I stayed in my room for a little while before I went to talk to Laurance *Knock knock knock* "Laur, can I come in?" There was a pause "Sure" He said with a sniffle. Has he been crying?

I walk over to him, he's sitting on his bed curled up in a ball so I went and sat next to him. "You okay babe?" I asked him, he sniffled "Did you hear what I yelled at Travis and Dante?" I asked worried.

"That's not why I'm upset, I don't care that you told them..." He said looking away from me. "Laurance what's wrong?" I made him look at me, I wiped the tears off his face "Why are you crying?" I asked really worried this time...

He showed me his wrist, there were 3 bleeding cuts, I immediately brought him into a hug and held him tight "Why would you do this?!?" I cried.

"I got a text from Cadenza, she told me she was admitted into the hospital, they say she might have lung cancer..." He cried into my arms.

Laurance has an extremely tight bond with his sister... I mean i'm close to my brothers, but I don't think we're as close as Laurance and Cadenza.

"Shh Laurance, it's okay." I whisper sweet nothings into his ear to calm him down. "You know she wouldn't have wanted you to cut.." I said hoping it wouldn't upset him. "I know, but it calms me..." He sniffles "That's what I'm here for." I kiss his forehead, he hugs me tightly.

"Do you want me to take you to see her tomorrow?" I asked him, he nodded his head and continued holding me.

I laid back on his bed and turned on his TV, we sat there and cuddled, I ran my fingers though his soft brunette hair. We stayed like this for the rest of the night.

I'm really enjoying writing this book, I hope you all like where my story is going! The next chapter will be out soon! <3
