Chapter 2 - Explanations

"So why the hell were you kicked out of your house? If you don't mind me asking".

I knew this conversation was going to come up at some point.

"You probably do deserve to know the whole story. After all you're letting me stay in your home. Um...well ok so it all started a few days ago. I was thinking of coming out to my parents. But I didn't know when or how I should do it. So I was looking up different ways that other people did. But I had forgotten that my parents had an app that let's them monitor what I watch or search. Even what apps I go on. So my dad just so happened to be going through it to see what I've been up to and he saw all the pages I had looked at. He told my mom and apparently they both don't support homosexuals at all. That night at supper they confronted me. I panicked and ended up telling them I was gay and they lost it. They sent me to my room not letting me finish eating. Really early the next morning while I was still sleeping my dad came into my room and started to beat me. He grabbed me throwing me to the floor kicking me repeatedly in the stomach. He was telling me how much of a disgrace I was. That I was a mistake and they should have aborted me. Him and my mom didn't want me in their home and that I was no longer their son. I was terrified. He grabbed me by my hair dragging me down the stairs and chucked me out the door. He screamed at me to get off their property and that if I didn't he'd call the cops. Either that or he'd forcefully make me leave. I got up and ran as far as I could. I never want to go back there again. I ended up running to where you found me. You came shortly after I got there. I couldn't run any farther. You know the rest of the story".

I glance up. Bakugo looked shocked. But also as if he was holding back tears. I myself was trying not to cry as well. But it was going very well. Not a second later after I look at him he gets up and hugs me.

"I'm so sorry that had to happen to you. From now on this is your new home. You'll never have to see that place again".

"What about your parents? Would they be okay with having me in their home"?

He pulls back from the hug to look me in the eyes.

"Like I said they're really understanding. Plus they're nowhere's near being homophobic. I should know".

Did I hear that correctly?

"Wait what do you mean you should know"?

I look at him in confusion. Returning my eye contact he rubs the back of his neck.

"I'm gay as well. I came out to my parents around sometime last year. Like you I was pretty nervous and didn't know how to do it".

Still rubbing his head he looks at his feet.

"So you don't have to worry about being kicked out of here nor being beaten again. If anyone lays even a finger on you I'll beat them to a pulp".

Finally he looks me in the eyes again. I could tell he was being honest. I tackled him into a big bear hug. Not realizing how hard I tackled him we both lost our balance and fell on the floor. I lifted my head off his chest and my face turned a bright red.

"U-um I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make us fall".

Well this is embarrassing.

I start to try and get up but Bakugou stops me by wrapping his arms around my waist and hugging me. My face was burning. It was probably even redder than before.

"It's fine, don't worry about it".

I give up on trying to get up and return his hug. After what seemed like hours past we finally picked ourselves up off the floor. Bakugou had a tint of pink dusting his cheeks.

Cute. WAIT WHAT AM I THINKING!!! (Gay panic) Nevermind that. What time is it?

Heading for the couch I check my watch. It was 12:45. Guess we were on the floor for hours then. Or I was just talking for quite awhile. I chuckle to myself. Then feel the couch dip down. Bakugou sat down beside me.

"So, I was thinking we could go to the mall today and pick up new clothes for you. You know considering I'm pretty sure you're not going to get your old clothing back".

"I don't have money at the moment so I wouldn't be able to".

Bakugou chuckles.

"I'll buy them for you. We're going to get you all the basic essentials that you need. Like clothes, a toothbrush, shampoo. Probably even a new pair or two of shoes".

"No! You're already letting me stay in your home and that's enough for me".

"That's nonsense. We're going to the mall so we can get your stuff. Oh and you can't say no so come on".

He gets up and drags me with him to the door.

I can already tell that this boy is going to be the death of me.
