i'm gay...

*back to your pov*

you woke up feeling like absolute shit (me on a daily basis). you had a pounding headache and a sore throat.

i guess i shouldn't have stayed up all night crying. you thought to yourself.

you pulled yourself out of bed and walked to the washroom. upon looking in the mirror you noticed how bloodshot and puffy your eyes were. you also had bad dark circles and your hair was all tangled and matted.

"ugh" you sighed while beginning to brush out your hair.

while getting ready, you received a text from your best friend dan.

hey y/n, mind if i swing by for a bit? phil's running errands and i'm all alone :(

you smiled and quickly typed a reply.

sure, come by whenever, i'm just finishing getting ready

just as you were finishing up getting ready, dan knocked on the door. you jogged over to it and opened it.

dan stepped forward pulling you into a hug.

"hey dan" you said, your voice muffled from being pressed against his chest.

"hey, how are you," he asked while pulling away, "you've been kinda MIA"

"oh i'm okay i'm just going through some stuff" you said while shrugging your shoulder.

"what's been going on?" he asked, concern immediately spreading across his face.

"let's sit" you offered while walking into your lounge.

dan followed behind you, sitting beside you on the sofa.

"what's up y/n?" he asked again.

"dan i have to tell you something. i've been thinking it over for a while and it's been on my mind a lot lately and i just need to tell someone and you're the only person i really trust enough to tell this to" you rambled.

"what is it? i promise i can keep a secret" he said caringly.

"i'm....i'm gay" you said while shamefully looking down.

"y/n...are you...are you ashamed to be gay?" dan asked while lifting your face to meet his.

you nodded slightly, eyes filling with tears (why have all my imagines lately involved crying wtf).

"y/n, there is nothing wrong with you i promise. you have nothing to be ashamed of. you are who you are and that makes you amazing. i could never look at you differently for being who you are. i still love you the same amount as i did before i knew y/n. i'll always love you." dan said, taking your hand in his.

"thank you dan" you choked out.

"you're welcome y/n" he responded smiling slightly.

"hey now i can be your wingman" he added with a wink.
