Inspired by the movie Those People

I entered the house nervously behind my sort-of friend Phil with my suitcase being carried by his mum to our room.

My mum had just left here and was staying at her friends house. I cuddled my pillow tightly in my arms and felt tears welling in my eyes.

"Dan, honey?" Phil's mum called. I looked up and ran up the stairs where she was waiting.

Phil's bedroom was filled with books and old tapes from Disney and Pixar. I scrambled over and flipped through my favorites like Hercules and the Snow White.

"Want to watched one?" Phil's voice next to me made me jump and I hopped up quickly from the ground-level shelf.

"Oh, uh," I spotted the television in the bedroom across from his bed. It was only 5:00 and dinner was in like, and hour and a half. "Sure."

"Which one?" Phil ran his fingers through his brown ish hair and crouched to pick one out.

"Any. I enjoy them all." I stuffed my hands in my sweat pants pockets. Phil pulled a VHS tape out and slid it in the player.

"We can sit on the bed." Phil leapt onto his queen sized bed and scooted over to leave from for me. I slid in by his side.

The movie played and I realized it was The Lion King, a favorite of mine.

When Mufasa died, I started to sob. My dad just left me and my mom, and we were treating it like a death. I sunk into the corner of the bed and cried. When Phil tried to reach out to me, I got off the bed and slid under it.

I stayed there for four days, crying me eyes out. Phil's mum put food underneath the bed for me and every time I reluctantly ate it. That was so sweet of her.

Best of all, Phil would go under with me and hug me to make me feel better.

One day, when I was crying a lot, he climbed underneath and-

he kissed me. On the lips. A full kiss. That's when I really realized that I wasn't really like other guys, in a sense that I was gay.

The next day at school, I went around telling everybody that Phil was "a gay."

Phil just brushed it off. The day after that he wore bright pink nail polish to school.

Fifteen years later, we're still best friends and boyfriends.
