My mate is another guy!?

Secrets

"So when did you become...you know...?"Law asked him.

"Gay,"Vincent finished for him,"you don't have to be scared to say the word. As the great teacher Albert Dumbledore once said,'Fear of a word. Increases fear of the thing itself.'

Law looked down,"Sorry." he said. He was completely embarrassed. Why did he even ask that,why didn't ask what his favorite food was or what movies he liked. He didn't have a clue what he was doing and now he made Vincent uncomfortable. He was a shitty mate and was now going to die alone.

"Hey hey it's okay Law. I didn't mean to make you feel bad."Vincent said,"To answer your question. I've always been this way for as long I can remember. When I was younger I tried to hide it or suppress it. I didn't want to face that I was different. My dad never liked anything that was different." Vincent face went hard after he said that and as much as Law wanted to ask about it but he knew he couldn't. Circe and her mom moved across the country to get away from her dad and even years after nither ever talked about him or why they felt the need to put such a big distance between themselves and him but still leave behind Vincent. Law knew there were something's that you shouldn't ask about and this was one of them.

After a moment Vincent shook his head,"Well when I was in middle school I met someone. I thought we were in love but we weren't. I did something very very stupid and suddenly my secret was out. I had to deal with a lot of shit from the people in my life because of it but my experience with that person made me not want to hide who I was anymore. I was finally able to be myself and accept who I really was and am." Vincent finished his story with a content smile.

"Wow, it sounds like you had a hard time. I wish I could have been there I would have protected you."Law said passionately. Vincent stared at him wide eyed and Law got embarrassed again,"Sorry you know how passionate werewolves are about their friends. Im sorry I didn't mean to weird you out."he said.

Vincent shook his head and smiled,"I don't mind. No one's ever said that they'd protect me. I was kind of happy."he said. Both of them blushed and looked away.

"Um so how did you know you were gay?"Vincent asked after a minute.

Law didn't know how he was supposed to respond. He wanted to be honest with Vincent but Circe made him promise to not tell Vincent about his feelings. More over when Vincent talked about that person from his past the look of hurt on his face was so real and fresh that it made Law think that maybe both of them weren't ready. So with that thought in mind Law decided to be as honest as possible while still keeping his secret. "Well as Circe told you I always figured that that my mate would be a girl. I didn't have a type or anything because I knew my instincts would pick the perfect person for me. A while ago I met someone, a boy. I thought that I wanted him to be my friend but all of sudden my feelings weren't ones of friendship. I got scared so I just freezed him out."Law said even this half truth tasted bitter but he knew it was nessicary.

"Do you think that he is your mate?"Vincent asked.

"I would put money on it."Law said.

"Then why don't you go see him and tell him how you feel?"

"I'm not ready to face him yet."Law said looking down.

"You're not ready. You think that this person is your soul mate and you're not ready. That's not fair to either of you."Vincent said. heatedly

"This isn't a fling. I want to make sure I can give him the relationship he deserves. Hell I can't even say the word...gay...without freaking out. He deserves better and once I know I can give that to him, once I can stand by his side and have him know how happy and proud I am to belong to him then I'll tell him how I feel."Law said as he talked he realized the other importance of the 3 month rule.
