"hey, ma, pa."

"hmm? yeah, (y/n)?"

"i-i ... like boys."

silence filled the oikawa household, the only sound that broke the tense silent was your mother dropping the dinner plate she was washing onto the floor.

"you... ?"

"i like boys...?" you said, now more unsure than ever.

"..."

"go to your room."

"eh? pa?"

"i said go to your room. your ma and i need to discuss this."

"b-but, pa. wouldn't it be better if you discussed this with (y/n)?" your brother, tooru, asked.

"!"

you ran back to your room, terrified of what could happen to you if you stayed in the kitchen for even a second longer than you have.

you sat in the corner of your room, while covering your ears with headphones. you could faintly hear your parents shouting from the kitchen, and so you started playing some music to muffle the sounds of shouting. you clicked shuffle on your spotify playlist, and the song dont you dare forget the sun by get scared started playing. your tears started to fall, as soon as you started thinking of how your coming out could potentially lead to your whole family being colder to you, or worse; being kicked out. you didn't want that, so you called the first person on your call history.

"hello?" he picked up the phone.

"i-iwa.."

"hey, are you ok?"

"no, everything is wrong...! i just came out to my parents and- and theyre having a shouting match over it."

"... oh... i wish i could be there for you, but-"

"you're out of town. i know. tooru told me."

"yeah... if you wanna vent, just tell me what you want to say."

you cried. "my parents- i dont- fuck. i have so much i want to say. i dont want them to kick me out."

"yeah, that's fair."

"if i get kicked out, will you let me live with you?"

"i will."

"thanks. you're the best..."

you heard a knock at the door.

"(y/n), it's tooru."

"you should talk to tooru. if things goes wrong, call me. i'll try to call back."

"thanks, iwa."

you hung up the call, and opened the door for your brother.

"(y/n), ma and pa talked... and they said it's fine. but they don't really understand it..."

"oh..."

"i think you should talk to them. i'll be there for moral support."

you hugged tooru.

"thank you."
