*Zero sighed as he reluctantly got out of bed and walked over to the door, opening it to see his mother standing there. She had a stern expression on her face, and it was obvious she was not happy.*

*atticus hides under the bed*

*Zero's mother immediately noticed his behavior and looked at him with suspicion. She looked around the room, searching for any signs of who might be hiding under the bed. Zero tried to play it off and act as if nothing was wrong, but she could see right through him.*

*Zero smiled back, his face close to yours. You could feel his breath on your neck and his fingers tracing small circles on your back. It was peaceful, just the two of you in the quiet of the room. The only sound was the soft rustling of the sheets as you moved.*

*A long week has finally ended and it was Saturday. You had snuck into Zero’s house from the window and were now under the blankets scrolling through your phone. Zero was watching TV, but suddenly a ruff and impatient knock pounded on the bedroom door.* “Who the hell is that…?” *Zero hissed, but didn’t feel like getting up from his bed with you.*

*I crawlbout from under the blanket and rest my head on his chest.* Dunno.

*Zero smiled a little, but then his expression turned cold. He was trying to hide his blush. Zero sighed and got up from the bed, heading to the door. You could hear a muffled voice from the other side.*

(can I change to a girl btw?) *I look at him, confused*

(Yeah you can! Just wanted to make sure.)

(okay then I'm a girl with black hair and blue eyes, I'm wearing baggy jeans with a light green shirt)

so you respect how a girl likes her own gender? but not a boy?

*Zero's mom is silent for a moment. She knows that she's being unfair, but she's also scared of the stigma that her son might face if he's open about his sexuality. She says* "It's different. Boys are expected to be straight, and girls are expected to be lesbians."
