Diego sighed locking his phone, he clutched his head in his hands in frustration. He'd been out to his parents one week now and Taylor was kind enough to let him stay at his house for as long as he needed.

He could finally be himself, only, he wanted to be himself with him. But things weren't as easily solved, he hated the idea that he and the guy he was in love with couldn't walk together in public. It's not so much that he was scared of his peers and teachers reactions, they were anything but accepting⁠—bar his father. He just didn't want the guy who'd finally given him a chance to be scared off.

He unlocked his phone and called his Abuela, letting her know he was safe. He knew quite well she would have preferred for him to stay in the apartment but Diego's father ruled the household with an iron fist. He'd rather a dead son than a gay son.

He was safer here.
