Will's POV~

I got out of the shower, got dressed and combed my hair. I looked at my alarm clock and it read '5:41' which means dinner is in about five minutes. I paced the room looking at the clock every few seconds, why did I have to say anything! I should've just said I'm happy because I made great friends, end of story, move on. 

"Why can't people be more accepting. So what if I like boys, why's is matter so much?" I said out loud to myself. I heard a soft knock on my door so I got up and opened it, revealing El. 

"Dinner is ready" she said. 

"Ok thanks, I'll be right down" I told her. 

"Ok" she said and then left. 

Avoid coming out if I can and if not, well, I hope I just don't have to. 

I walked downstairs seeing everyone sitting at the table putting food on their plates. I sat down at the table doing my best to act as if I wasn't freaking out inside. 

"How was your guys' day? Have fun?" mom asked El and I. 

"Great, I'm really good friends with Beverly" El said happily.

"Oh that's great, I'll have to meet them some time. What about you Will?" mom asked. My face started getting red remembering Eddie and how he said yes. 

"Great" was all I could come up with. 

"Was the movie good?" dad asked. 

"It was good" I said. 

"I liked it" El said. I didn't realize how fast I was eating and I was almost done. Stress eating I guess. 

"That's great you guys. So what's the plan for tomorrow?" mom asked and I looked to El hoping she'd answer. 

"I'm going to hangout with Bev if that's ok?" El asked. 

"Ya that's fine" mom said. That gives me a way better chance of them saying yes to letting me go tomorrow. 

"I was wondering..." I started to say but not able to find the right words. 

"Yes? " mom said. 

"Could I go hang out with Eddie tomorrow?" I said hoping she'd say yes. 

"Ya sure, what're you guys going to do?" she asked. 

"Not really sure yet, he's gonna come here tomorrow and then we're gonna do something after" I said.

"There's supposed to be a fair tomorrow, saw it on the way home from the store" she said and I lit up like a match. 

"Oh that's perfect! Thanks mom!" I said very happily. 

"You're welcome sweetie, just be home by eight ok?" she said. 

"Ok I will" I said. Oh this is perfect, we can get something to eat and maybe I can surprise him with the fair, I'm not sure yet. Maybe we could eat at the fair and do rides after, no bad idea, food after for sure. I got up and brought my plate to the sink rinsing it off. 

"Good night guys!" I said running up the stairs to my room. 

"Good night!" 

I went into my room and decided to read a comic. 

Time skip to about 7:30~ (I ain't gonna be too specific again lol) 

I heard a couple knocks on my door as I was almost finished reading my third comic. 

"Come in" I said and the door opened. I turned to see who it was as I layed on my stomach. 

"Oh, hi" I said seeing my dad. 

"Hey. Can we, talk?" he asked awkwardly. 

"Sure" I said sitting up. I'm pretty sure I know what he wants to talk about. 

"So, earlier you had told me you asked someone out, and at dinner you said you're going to hangout with a boy named Eddie. Is that who you asked out?" he asked and I could feel my cheeks heat up. What if he doesn't accept the fact that I'm gay, will he make fun of me or call me things, like my birth father did. 

"Will?" he said getting my attention. 

"....Yes, I asked Eddie out" I whispered and I think he surprisingly heard it. 

"And he said yes?" 

"Ya"

"I'm happy for you" he said and I looked up at him. 

"Wait, what?" I asked. Did I hear him wrong? 

"I said I'm happy for you, not many boys like boys so you're lucky, and he seems to make you real happy" dad explained. I felt tears coming to my eyes. This is not what I was expecting. 

"Thank you, I didn't think you would accept it" I said with a smile forming. 

"I know a lot of people don't but, I would never treat you differently because of it, and what's the big deal with it, love is love right?" he said and I nodded. 

"Right"

"Well get to bed you're gonna have a busy day tomorrow" he said walking towards the door. 

"Ok, thanks again dad" I said and we exchanged smiles. 

"No problem kid" he said and with that he left. I fell back onto my bed. Now both my parents accept who I am, this day couldn't get any better.
