{Chapter 1}

Once upon a time, 

    We were happy. But then you started talking to a camera.

Charlie

Fuck.

I love kids, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I feel like I'd rather be the kid than having to take care of one. Then again, taking care of one is already such a fuss but having to babysit a whole class?

It's strenuous.

I have a boyfriend. I'm gay. But I slip into a world where I have to pretend I'm normal because homophobia is real. Not that being gay is abnormal but try to catch my drift. 2019 or not, there are still homophobes out there who can't set their mind straight that we're normal.

The people who think we're those sewer rats and that the world would be a better place without us. So what better way to spread our pride than to share it with the virtual world. And that's what, Nathan, my boyfriend did.

With his subscribers passing the 20 million milestones, his channel, Quaking Queer, sets on making the world believe that we are real. That we're not mentally ill. Not confused. That we're set straight, I'm sorry, gay, on trying to just live our normal lives.

"Miles was a pleasure to have. Thank you and have a great holiday," I say wearily, my usual deep voice entranced roughly, making me clear my throat. I smiled at Miles' mother who looked like she had just returned from a kitchen explosion. I understand how she feels.

He was the last of the others to return home. Today was a Sunday. I had decided to take the weekends for daycare to gain some work experience. But since the principal is going to give birth to her first-born, the children had a whole week off. I wish I did too.

"I'm home, I'm tired, I'm hungry so please, please, please, let me sleep without anyone interrupting me," I groaned as I pass through the door. Nathan comes up to me and kisses me on the cheeks and also pecks me on the lips.

I look at him questioningly. "Where are my parents?"

"They've gone out to buy some more yoghurt since we're out. You know how they can't live without yoghurt," He snickers.

"Wanna have a movie night, tonight?" He asks, raising his eyebrows suggestively and I urge another kiss on his lips.

"Aren't you going to be busy editing?" I ask worriedly.

His fans don't like me. Except for some but a whole 60 percent has vowed on our break-up and it honestly feels like my heart is an empty pit that's destroyed by strangers that I don't even know.

Nathan lives with my parents and me and honestly? With his minimum pay, he should be able to afford his own house but my parents insist that he stays with us. I can't disagree because he is still someone I love and would like to spend the rest of my days with.

"I've finished up early so we could spend the night together up late!" He smiles at me gummily.

"O-oh, that's great but I'm tired and really need to hit the sack," I look at him, my voice was already fatigued by then and he pouts at me.

I walked past him and slumped on the couch. A warm body covers mine and Nate's warm hands start caressing my entire frame as I tried my best to fall asleep. "Can I nap with you then?" He whispers softly.

Nodding tiredly, I open my eyes and see him enclosing my whole body and spooned it in a caring way that I forced myself to smile and turn around so he could straddle me further. He lays on my chest and starts kissing my cheeks and neck as I gradually zoned out and sank into slumber.
