"I- I think I wanna come out..."

"Oh" Shawn says

"Yeah" I say

"Is this- Does this have anything to do with-"

"No it's not about her I just, I feel like I'm not afraid anymore" I say

"Ok then, I think you should do it" he says

We then just sit there and look at each other. It was like I could hear every thought he was thinking.

"Were you- did you want to do it now like put out a tweet or something" He says

"No shawn wtf" I laugh

"I'm sorry I don't know what-" he laughs

"Let's go stupid" I laugh

"Thank God" he says

March 2020

It had now been a month since I told Shawn I wanted to come out. I kept putting it off because despite how much I wanted to, I was scared.

"Just do it babe. You have nothing to be afraid of"

"Yeah dude, half the world already thinks you gay so who gives a fuck" Jai says

Jai, Ruth, and Ryan, had come to visit me and Shawn in our new house. We had been separated for so long.

"I don't think that's the best way to put it dude but, yeah what he said pretty much" Ryan says

"You've got this" Ruth says

"Ok... ok I'm gonna do it" I say as I open up Instagram and press the go live button.

Ok so guys... I have something to tell you, something I've been keeping to myself for years for no reason exactly except that I was scared but, I'm done being scared so-

"Hey did you- oh shit sorry" shawn says

"Babe" I laugh

"Got Damnit Shawn" Jai laughs

"Sorry continue" Shawn laughs

"Like I was saying, I'm done be scared so... I just wanted to let you know that, I'm bisexual."

"What?! Damn I can't believe you never told me" Ryan jokes from behind the camera

"Shut up" I laugh

"Y/n the comments are crazy" Ruth says

"Ok can I ask my question now" Ryan asks

"Yeah what's up?" I laugh

I had decided to let Ryan, Jai, Ruth, and Shawn pick one question from the comments for me to answer. I told them to pick the questions that were the deepest, the questions that would warrant the most personal answers, It only seemed fair.

"Ok, why did you wait so long?" Ryan says

"Honestly, I was scared. I acted like I didn't care but I did, and I hurt some pretty important people in the process" I respond

"Have you ever had a serious relationship with a girl?" Ruth asks

"Yes, I've dated a couple girls but, I've only ever been in love with one..." I say

"What percentage of gay are you?" Jai asks

"Jai wtf" Ryan says

"Why" I laugh
