TW's:
-Eating disorder

Apparently George and I fell asleep next to each other and the next morning Sapnap came in sleepy.

'What happened yesterday?' he mumbled.

'Well, my parents and siblings are home.'

'Oh, why were you screaming?'

'My parents walked in on us kissing.'

'Oh, are you okay?'

'I didn't know they were kind of homophobic.'

'What happened?'

'My dad grabbed my arm so tightly and sent me away.'

I rolled up my sleeve to see my arm, which appeared to be a little blue. It also revealed my scars and I quickly put it down.

'George?' I shyly asked.

'Yes?'

'Now you are my boyfriend- are you okay with me wearing no sleeves?'

He nodded and hugged me. 'Of course.'

'So you are a couple now?' Sapnap asked happily.

'Yes, we are.'

Suddenly the door opened and my dad walked in without asking. He grabbed my arm and pulled me with him.

'We need to talk, Clay.'

'You're hurting me.'

His grasp loosened a little.

'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.'

We walked out of the room and my dad and I walked downstairs. He tapped on the couch and sat down next to me.

'You really like him, don't you?'

'I uh- do.'

'Are you in love?'

'I am.'

'Clay, seeing you kiss a guy randomly caught me completely of guard and I'm sorry for that. I should have never grabbed you that tightly, I want to apologise. I also want to say, your mum and I talked about it. We were very confused and it startled us. The fact we caught you kissing him was just unexpected and I reacted wrong. We accept you, we only have to get used to it, okay?'

I nodded heavily. 'I'm already so happy that you accept me.'

'How long do you have a relationship for?'

'It was actually the first time we really kissed. Well the second time I guess.'

'As long as you two are happy together, I'm happy too.'

'Thank you, dad.'

'I love you, Clay. George is a good guy. How did you both figure it out?'

'I felt butterflies for him.'

My dad softly rubbed my shoulder and I felt tears coming up.

'I'm sorry, dad. I sometimes wish I wasn't gay, but George is so perfect.'

'It's okay, Clay.'

I bursted into tears and gave my dad a hug. 'I'm so sorry you had to see it.'

'Clay, look at me. It's fine. I'm okay with it, I just really startled for a minute. I didn't expect it.'

'I just like him so much,' I said crying in my dads shoulder.

'Go back to him, Clay. He is waiting for you.'

I nodded and stood up. I ran upstairs and fell down on my bed in Georges arms.

'Are you alright?' he asked, rubbing his hand through my hair.

'They accept me,' I whispered.

'That's good,' Sapnap said.

'Aww, are you so happy?' George asked.

I nodded. He kissed my cheek and stood up. 'Can I shower?'

I nodded. 'Of course.'

George stood up and walked away. Sapnap looked at me.

'Dream?'

'Yes?'

'Two things. Maybe you should tell your parents about your eating disorder, because the second thing. We have to leave in around a few days. I thought it was a week, but it's actually four days. I want you to be okay.'

I sighed deeply. 'I want to tell them, but I don't know how.'

'We can help?'

I nodded. We relaxed for a while and George turned the shower off. He walked in in a towel and I blushed.

'Dang.'

I couldn't stop staring at his chest. I stood up and grabbed his still wet skin. I kissed him multiple times on his lips and George grinned. 'I'm getting attacked.'

'You're walking in without a shirt on with your boyfriend in the room,' Sapnap laughed.

I kissed his neck shortly and sat back down. 'You're just incredibly hot.'

George smiled shyly. 'You are.'

'Would you still like me if I was fatter.'

'I would equally like you.'

'Not less?'

'No, definitely not less.'

'More?'

'I don't even think I can like you more than I do now.'

'I want to recover,' I then whispered.

George smiled and hugged me. 'I'm so proud.'
