Matt awoke with the sound of an alarm, groaning while pulling his covers over his head. He laid there for about 30 minutes and eventually woke up again. His phone buzzed, Edd texting him. He smiled while getting up, pulling on a pair of pants and a plaid-shirt, which was a blue-like color. He searched for his glasses and hurried down to the kitchen, grabbing some toast and running out the door. He didn't bother to say goodbye or anything, pulling his bag on and dashing down the sidewalk, making it to Edd's house. He reached into bag and took out something, he bowed when the door opened, holding it by the tip. Edd stood astounded, covering his mouth as he then hugged Matt tightly. He kissed his cheek, making Matt blush, his freckles being covered by them.
"Thank you, Matt! I love it!!" He exclaimed, taking it and rushing inside, "Mom! Look what Matt brought me!" His mother looked out into the doorway, and smiled. "Ah, so you're the lucky fella, aren't you? Ell loves you so much, but it's nice to finally meet you, Matt." Matt was confused, but nodded, smiling. Edd came back and hugged him tightly once again. He'd put the rose in a small vase with water, and his mother chuckled.
She reached Edd his back-pack and let the two walk to school, them both holding hands. "She doesn't know..does she?" Matt asked, rubbing his thumb gently the back of his hand. "N-no, but I'm planning on telling her..I'm afraid though..." Matt sighed, stopping them both in their tracks as he held onto his shoulders. "Edd, she loves you. She's your mother. And if she doesn't accept you, then that's her problem, not yours or ours, just hers. If she doesn't, then she's a horrible parent for not accepting you."
Edd felt a bit bad, but nodded. Matt kissed his head, hugging him. He intertwined their fingers again, continuing to walk. "Just try to not think about it much. If you need me, you can have my schedule." He reached into his pocket and placed it in his hand, making his fingers wrap around the folded piece of paper. He smiled and kissed him softly, them, once again, continuing their walk to school.

"T-thank you." Edd stuttered, walking through the corridor to the large lunch room. Tord waved for him to go to the small, round table with slightly-moveable seats connected to it. Tom was there as well, holding Tord's hand. It was against the school's policy, but no one really cared. Edd sat down with his lunch tray, but ignored it. He scowled. "What's wrong?" Tom asked, his head tilting a bit. "I'm..I'm telling my mother when I get home, and Matt's coming w-with me..." Tom smiled, "I'm proud of you, but we can also come along if you'd like." "Yeah! We wouldn't mind." "R-really??" The two nodded, grinning with pure joy.
Edd smiled, "Thank you."

The four all walked into Edd's house, his mother preparing supper for her and Edd. "Oh! I didn't know you were bringing friends, Ell!" Edd flinched, but sighed, "Yeah, I forgot to text you." His mother quickly searched for a few more plates and silverware, "What would you boys like to drink?" "Water, please." Tord replied, siting down happily next to Edd, smiling. "I already brought me something, I just need a glass." Tom said, taking a seat next to Tord.
He nonchalantly placed a hand on Tord's thigh, as he would do usually, under the table. Tord tensed, Edd darting a glare towards him, partly in fear that his mother would notice. Matt just found a seat next to his mother, nervously shifted occasionally. She soon fixed their plates for them all, giving them the things they requested, besides Matt, as he'd came over more often, and she'd known what he likes better than anyone.
Edd let out a shaky breath, but leaned against his balled fist on the table. He soon removed them as they all began to eat. Tom had already poured his, you guessed it, Smirnoff into the glass. And what was even better, it looked like a shot glass. Tord casually took sips of his water, as Edd avoided his Cola. "What's the matter, Ell?" His mother asked, Edd trembling as he closed his eyes, trying to think of what to say. He calmly mumbled, "Mom, I'm Gay.." She couldn't understand what he said, "Darling, you know I can't understand you-" "I'M NOT ELL, MOM, IT'S EDD!"
He shook harder as he got off the chair and marched to his room, Matt jumping up and rushing after him. "Edd! Wait!" Edd slammed his door shut, obviously tearing up. He was afraid. He hugged his knees and tried to calm down. Matt shook slightly, but counted down numbers until he knocked on the door. "Edd?" He asked quietly, but not answer but sniffles could be heard.
His mother approached, "What was he going on about?" Matt froze, but a small smile formed as he pushed it aside. "If he's scared I'll reject him, I won't. I kinda knew anyways, he is my kid, after all." "Well, at least you aren't like mine or Tom's." "What about Tord's?" "They don't really care.." "Anyways, let me go find the key to open the door.." She left and came back with a silver, slightly bronze key and pushed it slowly into the handle. She carefully opened the door, "Edd?" She asked. "Are you okay, dear?" He sniffled and looked up, revealing his glistening face. Ringo was lying next to him, purring at his presence.
"I'm sorry if you're scared, it's okay if you feel that way. I'll accept you no matter what, even if..even if you decide to cover yourself in stickers and run around naked for all of your life." He slightly snickered, "I might be tempted to test that theory now.." He shook but managed to get up, with the assistance of Matt. She hugged Edd, holding him tightly. "Where's Tom and Tord?" It took his mother a minute, but she grinned sneakily. "Probably butt-fuckin' in the broom closet." "MOM!!" Edd covered his face, blushing. "I wouldn't doubt it, knowing how Tom snuck his Smirnoff in earlier.." Edd's mother chuckled,
"Probably so."
