Hello! So uhm, please leave your Q n A questions here. You could put questions for the Hamilsquad and me.

John's POV-

I stuck my ear beside the bathroom door, in attempt to hear the conversation between my dad and Alex.

"What are your intentions with my son?"

"S-Sir?"

"What are your intentions with my son?" My dad repeated.

"I-I-I d-don't know w-what you're t-talking about, s-sir."

Poor Alex.

"What do you mean?"

"We- I- I think you're mist-staken."

I finally opened the door and walked out, trying to stiffle my laughter.

Eventually, I gave out and my dad joined in.

"W-What's happening?" Alex asked, his face still pale.

I wheezed, crying and sat on my bed. "Alex there's one thing you need to know about us, Laurens."

"What?"

"We're known for our pranks." I whispered, giggling afterwards.

"So...?"

"He's not homophobic, Lex." I smiled.

"He isn't?" Alex asked with a glint of relief. I nodded my head. Alex exhaled the tension that he's been keeping.

"How?" He asked. I thought back to a memory captured about a month and a half ago...

"Hello, Jack."

I looked up from making my animatic to see the last person I would want to see right now.

"F-Father?"

"Hello, son." He smiled.

"Hello. Why are you here?" I asked, frowning.

"Why not. I just wanted to check on you."

"And why is that?"

"Because that's what a father does...?" He arched a brow.

I sighed, closing my laptop. "A father isn't someone who spends all day at work-"

"Son-"

"I'm not done." I said. "A father isn't someone who would leave his children all the work-"

"Look, I'm providing for the family!"

"Well, you're not providing enough love." I snapped.

"I do what it takes for all of you to live!"

"Live a life of misery!" I had to refrain from my voice raising since this was a public place.

"Look- wait what are you wearing?" He frowned, looking at my gay-themed shirt.

"Uh- uh, I love rainbows..?" I lied with a sheepish grin.

That did not help, at all.

"Son, are you gay?" He asked, an unreadable expression on his face.

"What? No!" I nervously chuckled.

"Why are you wearing..." He paused. "That."

"I love rainbows!"
