I don't own anything to do with Harry Potter. And damn, freeverses are addictive...This is about Louis trying to tell his family that he's gay. The Louis-in-my-head was straight until I read "If You Were Gay" by aebbe, and now I can't think of him in any other way.
He's not quite sure how to say it.
He k n o w s he needs to, needs
to say something to someone,
a n y o n e;
but he doesn't know how.
-:-
He opens his {mouth}
looks at his father
but he can't find the right w o r d s.
-:-
He tries again later, in the
*kitchen* with his mother.
The words fail him t h e n
as well.
-:-
He doesn't know they already know.
-:-
They worked it out a little while ago.
-:-
They could always t e l l
that his heart wasn't in it,
whenever he dated some g i r l at school.
And {somewhere along the line},
it just became the way things were:
Victoire was ~pretty~
Dominique was a r e d h e a d
Louis was gay.
It was the way things were,
and nobody thought it was w e i r d
or unnatural
or wrong.
-:-
He was Louis
and they ::loved:: him.
No.
Matter.
What.
-:-
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm gay."
"OK."
