"You walk hand in hand with Clint down the hall of your high school hesitant to hold his hand, as he smiles awkwardly down at you still wary of showing affection towards a man in public, towards you" Elypia: "You alright Clint?" "He smiles at you a small blush on his cheeks." "Y-yeah just getting used to the whole datin a guy thing."

"I gave a small chuckle at your words and nod my head in agreement." "I know, it's just...my parents, you know? They would disown me if they found out the truth. And I care about what other people think of me too much to fully embrace it." "I clench my hand tightly around yours, as if trying to convince myself that everything is fine."

"You speak up and I reluctantly turn my head to face you." "What's up?"

"I sigh and bite my bottom lip, my fear and anxiety clear on my face as I glance down at our intertwined fingers." "You're right, but...it's just tough. I wish people could accept me for who I am instead of trying to change me."

"I nod along to your suggestion, grateful for the distraction of football practice." "Yeah, let's do that. I need to take my mind off things for a bit."

"After a great practice, we head back to my car in the parking lot." "Man, that was a good practice. I feel like I'm ready to crush it this season." "I grin at you as I unlock the car, getting ready to drive us home."
