"brendon...im gay"

"oh" he said quietly.
"its fine i knew you wouldn't accept me" i power walked up to my room crying.
"what!? dylan, hold on!"
i closed my door and slid down it crying. i'd came out to someone: after 7 years of being closeted, being ashamed of who i was and not knowing what to do. i did it. well i had told someone before but we wont talk about that.
"dylan you don't have to open the door but please. hear me out" brendon said, from outside.

"i love you okay? i alway will no matter what okay? you make me so so happy and i would never ever stop loving you just because of who you are. did you forget that one of my songs is literally a bisexual anthem? love is not a choice. you're you and you should be fucking proud of it. heck, you should be proud of yourself for coming out! im sorry if my reaction wasn't what you wanted and im sorry if you weren't ready but please don't beat yourself up about it. im always gonna love you"

i opened the door and wiped my tears.
"im sorry. i thought you wouldn't accept me"
"you've seen me cry over queer eye...dylan you're such a dumbass!" he had a point...
"shut up" i sniffled.
"hey" he knelt down to my height. "im so proud of you. it takes a lot to come out" he said. i started crying again and hugged him.
"thank you" i sobbed.
"no. thank you...for trusting me"
