"Okay, let's get one thing straight. I'm not. A surprising beginning? Maybe. Is it cliché? Probably. But, it's a fact and I can't hide from it. I actually stopped hiding from it a few years ago. And then I stopped hiding it from my friends, family members, and other assorted homosapiens two years ago. And, gotta say....my life is still pretty much the same. Now, where am I going with this? What is the purpose of this little story? Well, that my friends...is actually a very good question. Hmm...it's not a coming out story, because that would be boring because I just wrote it down and slid the note to my parents, and just texted the information to my friends. Word caught pretty quickly after that. It's not a "people don't accept me for who I am" story because they were all basically fine with it. My parents told me they already knew about it a long time ago...which is confusing because I didn't even know about it a long time ago. And my friends were all like, "Y'know, this is kinda like how Ilia came out to Blake in RWBY. Speaking of which, do ya wanna come watch the new episode?" and I obviously said yes. But, what exactly is this story? Well, I guess it can be abou- Wait! I am so sorry, friends. I just realized. I haven't introduced myself. Hello, I am Asher Hintter. Though, my friends call me Ash. Anyway, back to what I was saying. What will this story be about? Wait, a brilliant idea has occured to me! (Granted, most of my ideas are brilliant, but that's not the point.) I guess this story could be about how I met Kai."
