An important conversation about an important conversation
"I'm gay. I am gay. I like boys."
Remus looked up from his book at his boyfriend who had started talking to himself quietly.
"Um, Sevs, what are you doing."
"Gah, sorry. I'll be quieter."
"Oh, no honey. I don't mind you talking I'm just curious why you seem to be coming out to yourself."
"I'm practicing."
"You're practicing?"
"Yeah. I, um, want to tell Lou and Cissa about my sexuality. I think they'll be supportive, but I'm still nervous. I mean what if they're not? They're my only friends. And I love them so much, I don't think I could handle loosing them."
"You said that you thought they would be supportive, are they normally supportive of people who are part of the community?"
"Yeah, they always are. Honestly I'm just being dramatic. I mean I don't know about Lou, but Narcissa is literally part of the community to. Plus they supported me when I came out as trans."
"Wait, Narcissa is part of the community?"
"Oh, yeah. You didn't know? She's Bi, oh and trans."
"Really? Hmm, no I didn't know."
Remus was quiet for a second before continuing. "If they are normally accepting of you and others, and Narcissa is part of the community, then I think they'll probably be okay with you being gay."
"I know. I'm just being ridiculous."
"Well, I don't know about that. Coming out can still be scary even if you know you'll be accepted. It's completely understandable that your nervous. You don't need to feel bad about being scared."
"Thanks, that makes me feel better. But, I'm still kinda scared."
"Well, how about this. When you decide to come out to them I will I come with you. In fact if it would make you feel better I would be comfortable telling them that I am Bisexual."
"That does sound nice, but what if they realize we are dating. I mean I don't mind them knowing but I wouldn't want to expose our relationship if it would make you uncomfortable."
"Not at all cutie. I don't care if the whole world knows, as long as your comfortable. So, do you want me to go?"
"Yes, please."
"Okay."
