He didn't reply. It was just silent. Must've been a slip-up with wording then. I spoke in the most comforting tone I could do, "Y'know I won't care if you are, right? Your sexuality doesn't define you." He mumbled something I couldn't quite hear. "What was that?" He began to fidget with his fingers and spoke in a low voice, "Bisexual." I got off the bed and walked in front of Oakley. He looked up at me. A full minute of silence passed before I ruffled his hair," Oakley, you don't have to be scared of telling me things. I can't stop you from being you." As soon as I finished my sentence, he smiled. I went and lay down beside him, looking at the ceiling above me. I can tell he was staring at me so I awkwardly said, "What?" He replied in a sweet voice, "Y'know, Cole, you're one of the nicest and understanding people I've ever met." I chuckled, even after me almost biting his hand off, he still thinks of me as nice.  Ah, now that I think of it- Didn't he say something about his boyfriend? "Oakley, what do you mean by possessive?" I said, slightly concerned. I mean, every time he seems to mention this person he seems upset. He swung his legs back and forth, "Well, this sounds stupid but he really doesn't allow me to be friends with anyone. He doesn't like the way I dress or really anything about me.  Haha, it- Uhm, it really hurts sometimes. He tells me he loves me but I just don't know anymore. My brother, Chester, really likes him though!" What? Is that really love? Oakley deserves the world. I said seriously," Oakley, listen. That's not a good thing nor is it love. Your brother can like him all he wants, but your the one in this relationship. If he isn't making you happy, break up with him. If he had loved you, he would just accept you. This isn't stupid, I really care for you." He mumbled again, loud enough to hear this time, "It's.. It's not that easy. I want to feel happy. I-.. I think he may actually like my brother. I don't wanna let go of him, though."Well, I wasn't expecting that. Is this is what he calls happiness? "Oakley, you just trying to convince yourself your happy. This is all an illusion, that isn't happiness and again, that isn't love. I'll be here to support you." Before I knew it, he began crying. Maybe I was too blunt about it, I didn't mean to make him cry though. I sat up and my mind went blank. I didn't know how to comfort him, so I hugged him. I could tell he was surprised by the psychical contact, but a few seconds later he hugged me back tighter. I let him cry on my shoulder as I stroke his hair. He shouldn't be hurt, he's too sweet to be hurt.

Few minutes passed and he finally calmed down. I pulled away from the hug and just looked at the poor boy. His eyes were red. I pity him. He spoke softly, his voice shaky, "I-I'm gonna stay with him. Maybe, just maybe there's still some hope." God, Oakley, how naive are you? I really do care for him, but he's just gonna get himself even more hurt.  "Oakley, I'm sorry b-" He cut me off, "Cole, I know. Just a bit more time. I wanna feel loved for a bit more time." I didn't know what to say, so I ruffled his hair again. Oakley, you are loved. I know he is. Yet I don't get why you putting yourself through this. I don't know how to express how much I worry for him, it doesn't just hurt him but also hurts me. He's a sweet boy, too sweet for his own good. I want to be the guy he could talk to comfortably. The one that shows him his value and worth. saying all of this in my head just drives me crazy.

[Can't I be the one you rely on for love, Oakley?] 

A/N: Jesus I'm surprised I'm still even working on this, i usually drop projects the day I start it lol- Anyways I'm just clarifying I am figuring out an upload schedule! I don't plan on making this story too long (at least make it to 15 chapters, but I may make more) So I'm just gonna introduce 2 others characters to this story, Blare and Chester! Blare is basically a Blast Furnace as Chester is a well- obviously a chest. You'll get know about them later 👀 Also, talking about the schedule- Would you prefer longer chapters and slower updates or short chapters and quicker updates? Pls tell me I have no clue- Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this! Goodbye :D
