Harry POV

"Harry, I know you're nervous, but can you please stop clicking that fucking pen," says Vikk, sounding exasperated. I sigh, and throw down my pen. He places a reassuring hand on my shoulder, but it does nothing to calm me. I force myself to relax, at least a little bit, and put my head down on the desk in front of me. I know he's right. This is going to go well, I think to myself. Just like last night went well.

My parents, Rosie and Josh had all got home while I was still asleep. They weren't surprised to find Cal in the house, as he comes over most nights, but they were quite confused to see me cuddled up with him. We were always very careful not to show too much affection towards each other while my family were home, so that they wouldn't find out about us before we wanted them to.

So much for that now. My mum had woken me up just before dinner was ready, and invited Cal to stay and eat. He accepted, and texted his mum to say that he would be home later than usual.

The first part of dinner was extremely awkward. I knew that my family could all see the very large, obvious hickey right in the middle of my neck, and they definitely had their suspicions about where it came from after seeing me curled up with Cal. It was a cloud that hung over the table, a tense silence, as our explanation was awaited.

Eventually, I was the one who decided to start the conversation. It was short. Cal and I came clean. My mum hugged us both, and told us that she had been suspicious for about it for a while now. My dad just said that he was proud of us for telling him. And of course, Rosie and Josh were only interested in the details; when it happened, how it happened, all that. After that conversation, the evening just continued as normal. Everything was fine.

When dinner was finished, my mum pulled Cal and I aside to give us her brief version of "the talk", which completely mortified me. Cal handled it quite well though, trying to take what she said seriously. After that was over, we just retreated back to the sofa again, and talked with my siblings until it was time for him to go.

He said goodbye to my family, and then the two of us stepped out into the porch so that I could say goodbye properly, with a bit of privacy. One of my favourite things is the way he kisses me before leaving. It's slow and tender, full of love. Just as he was about to go, I offered him his hoodie to take back. He told me to keep it for now, kissed my forehead, and then started off on his way home.

I'm glad that everything yesterday happened the way it did. Thinking back over it all makes me feel much more at ease about telling my friends. They're all good people, even if they are a little loud and obnoxious sometimes. They care about me, and finally finding out that I'm dating someone won't change that.

"Earth to Harry? You alright mate?" Vikk's worried voice cuts through my thoughts. I lift my head up from the desk, and see all of the other students beginning to leave the room. "The bell just went, we need to go," he says gently.

"Okay, let me get ready, and then we can go," I say, and he nods. I pick up my bag, put it on the desk, and take off my blazer. I pull Cal's hoodie over my head, before putting my blazer back on over it. I quickly sort the hood out, and then sling my bag onto my back. Next to me, Vikk is now ready to head out too. "Let's go," I say, with as much confidence and determination as I can muster. He just grins at me in response.
