David Had nothing against Dante being gay, his main fear was how others would react to the news of the school's toughest dude being gay and also their parents. Nobody truly knew how the news would make them feel but right now it was only news between Nattie and David. Funny enough Dante himself hadn't come to terms with it yet. He was confused. About his sexuality, which made him turn to researching how he felt.
He found out a lot and the more he did the more he got scared, he didn't want anyone to find out about this, mainly because he wasn't sure either. Social media successfully hid the side to discovering sexualities where the person slides into depression, hates, and resents themselves for absolutely no reason. That was the stage Dante was in at this point. He had started drinking and smoking more than usual, he ignored his diet, and stopped going to the gym.
