TATE ( vii. grant tate is ) 'IM GAY' ・・・ Grant had always known he was different. He's always known maybe he wasn't straight. For years, he's thought it to himself, but he's always pushed the those thoughts away.
The truth is he was scared. He was scared of the truth. So, he told himself he liked Kira. He made up a new Grant so he wouldn't have to be the real him and he hated himself for it.
Now here he is at 16 years old. His face was red and his eyes were puffy from crying. He stared at himself in the mirror.
How did I let it go this far?
Why am I so afraid?
If Grant was gonna be honest he was scared of everyone else. Grant was scared of his father's reaction, Malia's, the pack, Michelle, Dallas. He was scared he wouldn't be accepted.
For years, he had heard horror stories of family kicking out their children for being gay, bisexual, pansexual etc. He didn't want that to happen so he buried his feelings so far down, but know here they are.
Grant hasn't been able to look at himself in the mirror for a long time in a while. Here he is now staring at himself, puffy eyed and all. He slammed his hands down on the counter and stared at tear stain cheeks. He took a deep breath.
"You are gay" He said to to his reflection
When those words fell from his lips it felt so good. It felt right. He took another deep breath.
"You like boys" He said
A smile crept in his lips and more tears fell down his cheeks. The words 'you like boys' felt so right. It felt so Grant.
Grant Tate is gay and he now accepted that. Grant Tate loves boys.
That day Grant's world would change in the best way. ⇒ TWO WEEKS LATER.
For the past two weeks, Grant had been thinking about how he would tell Michelle and Dallas. They're his best friends.
He was currently, going to hang out with the two of them. He played anxiously with the rainbow colored braclet he had bought a week back. He took a deep breath as Michelle opened her front door.
"Hey Grantie" She said pulling him into a hug
"Is that Grant?" Dallas said walking up behind Michelle
"No its billy. Yes its Grant" Michelle said saracastically
"Hey maybe it was the pizza. Sheesh" Dallas said putting his hands up in defense ⇒ The three sat around eating pizza, laughing and exchanging funny stories. Was this the time? Grant thought to himself.
"Grant you good bro? You've been kinda spacey" Dallas said looking at him from the couch across of him
Before, Grant knew it tears were falling from his face. Michelle and Dallas exchanged a look of confusion. "I'm sorry I didn't mean too —" Dallas said before he was cut off by Grant
"I'm gay" he said averting his eyes from Michelle and Dallas.
Dallas and Michelle were silent. Grant felt as if his heart fell to his stomach. He looked at floor as more tears fell from his eyes. Suddenly, he felt four arms wrap around him.
"We love you Grant" Dallas said hugging him
"I'm so proud of you" Michelle said kissing his forehead
The rest of the night was spent laughing and watching dumb videos like always.
Grant was happy. He is happy. ⇒ ONE WEEK LATER.
This was the hard part. Grant was telling Malia and his dad. He paced back and forth finding the words to say.
He realized he was still Grant and Grant is unorganized. So, he called Malia and his dad both to the living room.
"What's up bud?" Grant's dad asked in confusion.
"Just sit. Mals you too" Grant said flailing his arms around
The two sat on the couch both exchanging a confused look. Grant sat on the coffee table in front of the couch. He took a deep breath.
"So for a long time I have been very confused. I've had a very hard time accepting myself but know I have and I'm very happy with myself. I Grant Tate, Loves boys. I am Gay" He said staring at the two most important people in his life.
A smile crept on Grant's dad's face. "I know" He said.
Grant furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "What?" He asked confused
"I've known ever since you were little. You came home one day from kindergarten and wouldn't shut up about some Josh. You went on about how awesome and handsome he was" Mr. Tate explained
Tears slid down Grant's cheeks. He smiled happily as his dad pulled him into a hug. "I am so proud of you son" He said kissing Grant's forehead.
Once his dad pulled away they both looked at Malia who still looked confused. "Malia?" Their dad asked
"I don't get it. What does that mean?" Malia asked
Grant sat back on the coffee table. "Well, being gay means that instead of me liking girls, I like boys. I like boys like you like boys" Grant explained
Malia's eye brightened with understandment. She smiled at her little brother.
"That's so cool!" She said hugging him
"I love you Grant. And i'm happy that your gay and you like that your gay" She said hugging him tighter. ⇒ Grant Tate is gay. Grant Tate is likes boys. Grant Tate is happy ⇒ AUTHORS NOTE: SAPPINESS AHEAD: hey guys, so i hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was really enjoyable to write as I know how Grant feels. For months I have struggled with my sexuality and just recently have I accepted the fact that I am bisexual and it feels awesome.
I hope if any of you are struggling with the same confusion you accept yourself.
Just remeber, you are you no matter and no one can take that away from you. Love is not a choice so, do not be afraid of you are and who you love. Love is love 🏳️🌈
