“Sorry, just uhm, remembering stuff,” Connor spoke with an awkward chuckle, sitting up with Evan. “I’m- I’m okay, promise.”
-
“D’you wanna talk about it?” Evan asked gently, sitting up fully and letting go of Connor. He crossed his legs, facing him.
-
Connor sat up all the way, sighing. “Kinda? It’s- It’s not a fun memory or anything for me to remember,” he mumbled, hugging his legs to his chest. “When- When I came out to my mom, my dad was- Let’s just say he wasn’t very accepting, to put it gently.” He rested his chin on his knees, closing his eyes for a moment. “He got mad at me, then at my mom for defending me, then when Chloe burst in saying she was in love with her best friend, he almost lost it on her- Then my mom slapped him and kicked him out.”
-
“And he never came back, right?” Evan asked softly, placing a hand on Connor’s knee and gently rubbing it.
-
“Yeah- My mom divorced him a bit after that,” Connor said with a nod, resting his hand on Evan’s. “I just- I hate him for- for his reaction, for how he treated us just because we were gay, but he’s still my dad- I don’t want to hate him anymore…”
-
Evan nodded. “That’s pretty generous of you- why’s that? If you don’t mind me asking-“
-
“I mean- He’s really not a bad guy, minus the homophobia,” Connor said, sighing. “We used to have so much fun together, but as soon as he finds out I’m gay, he grabs me by the arm and threatens to hurt me-“ He exhaled shakily, digging his nails into the skin of his calves.
-
Evan nodded, gently grabbing Connor’s hands to stop him from digging his nails into his skin. “I know- and that’s not fair, at all. You didn’t deserve that, y’know that, right?”
-
Connor nodded, exhaling shakily as he gently squeezed Evan’s hands. “I want to forgive him, but he hurt me, and he hurt my mom and my sister, which makes it so hard…”
-
“I know, honey,” Evan said softly, rubbing the back of Connor’s hand with his thumb. “But, y’know how brave it is of your to even try to forgive him?”
-
Connor nodded again, exhaling softly. He sighed and moved to lay back down, tugging Evan closer to join him again.
-
“I’m so proud of you, honey,” Evan said with a soft smile, laying down with him again.
-
“Thank you, love,” Connor said with a small smile, hugging Evan close. He rested his head on his boyfriend’s shoulder, pressing a lazy kiss on his jaw with a hum.
-
“Of course,” Evan said softly, rubbing Connor’s back. “I love you so much~”
-
“I love you, too, hun~” Connor said with a lazy, lovesick grin, hugging Evan close. He yawned softly, burying his face in his boyfriend’s neck.
