A/N: the Louise in this story is not based off sprinkleofglitter.

Dan isn't very patient with Louise on the best of days, and even less so when Louise is trying to get him a girlfriend he doesn't want at a party he'd rather of died than gone to.

Nevertheless Dan was forced out of his room when Louise showed up at his front door and his father thought that she wanted to go on a date with Dan.

Dan's father knew he was gay, but he didn't like it. Dan had never outright said it, except for one mistake, and now that his dad had basically figured it out he didn't plan on outright saying it until he had to, or right before he died.

'Plot twist, I'm gay' he'd say to his wife and children he hated as the doctors pronounced him dying of some new disease, or of old age.

The thought brought a smile to his face, and Louise instantly pounced on it.

"Who did you see?" She asked excitedly. Dan just shrugged.

"Didn't see anyone. Just thought 'a something." Dan replied.

"A girl?" Louise asked, dragging out the 'irl' sound.

Dan grimaced and shook his head.

"You know if I didn't know you I'd think you were gay." Louise snapped.

Louise didn't know he was gay either. Dan had sworn up and down that he was straight, to everyone he knew.

Maybe if he moved somewhere where liking guys was more accepted he might make it more apparent that he wasn't a cookie cutter straight boy, but right now lying was the safest option.

"If you're just going to stand around and be an ass then we can just leave!" Louise pouted.

Dan shrugged and started walking towards the exit.

"Hey, Dan wait I wasn't serious." Louise started to say but Dan had already made it out to the sidewalk and was walking home.

Louise made a frustrated noise and stormed back inside, leaving Dan to walk alone in peace.

Finally, Dan thought.

When Dan got home his dad was in the kitchen already, arguing about something with Dan's mum over the phone.

When Dan first realized he liked boys the first thing he did was tell his mum, who freaked out and started trying to smash everything even remotely portable in the house at his face.

His dad got home from work just in time to pick his 14 year old son from the bottom of the basement stairs, where Dan still believes his mother would have killed him if his dad hadn't walked in.

His dad called the police who arrested his mother and took her away after they saw what she was trying to do to Dan.

Dan had to tell the police what happened, and after he had he turned to his dad in hopes of being comforted, but his dad just stepped back and looked disgustedly at his son.

"You're gay?" His dad asked.

Dan looked confused for a moment, wondering if his dad would have the same reaction that his mum did.

"You just told that cop that you came out to your mum and she went insane. Are you seriously gay?" His dad asked, his voice getting a bit louder.

Dan started crying again, only able to manage a pathetic, "I don't know.", before he completely broke down.

His dad lead him into the house with a tug on his wrist.

"Well you better figure it out. If you are then you're not my son." His dad growled.

A few days later Dan told his dad that he was 100% straight, even though he knew that he wasn't.
