Noah Porter-Benson had told his mother everything that happened in his life. It made his peers call him a momma's boy, but Noah was grateful for the woman who adopted him and he wanted to be as close as he could with her. Noah loved his mother and they were as close as a mother and a son could be.

But this time, Noah didn't know how to tell his mother his biggest secret. It was extremely difficult for him and he hated the thought of what could happen if she didn't take it well. Noah loves his mother. Noah doesn't want her to be disappointed in him because she changed her entire life for Noah.

Noah was having a hard time telling his mother he was gay.

And he knows he is being ridiculous. His mother was the Olivia Benson. She was the extraordinary advocate for human rights.

Still, in the darkest parts of his mind, the voice in his head tells him she won't take it well. It was his mother. He couldn't live with himself if she hates him.

Noah takes a deep breathe. He was trying to tell her tonight. His anxiety is telling him that he can't tell her, but it's also telling him that Oliver us fed up with keeping secrets from his mother.

Oh Oliver. He's the son of a powerful defense attorney. He had the courage to tell his mother.

So why couldn't he?

"Noah," Olivia calls from the kitchen, "How was Student Council?"

"Fine." Noah replies dismissively.

Olivia immediately notices hus abnormal tone of voice, "Are you okay? What happened at school? I can have the squad here in five minutes."

"Has anyone ever come out to you?" Noah mutters with his head towards the floor.

Olivia thinks for a moment then laughs, "Well, there are multiple victims that have disclosed their sexual orientation and gender identity to me whilst I was working a case, but there is a funny tale that happened… god it was twenty years ago. Dang I'm old."

"What happened?" Noah lifts his head up; Olivia piqued his interest.

"Well," Oliva answers, "This headstrong lady named Babs came out to me and then she hit on me and smacked my partner's ass. She was a character."

"She sounds like one." Noah replies, laughing alongside his mother.

Olivia puts a plate of good in front of her son, "Why do ask?"

"Well," Noah takes a deep breath, "I'm gay."

"Congrats." Liv interrupts.

Noah finishes, "and I'm dating someone."

"What's his name?"

"Oliver Calhoun."


AN: Oli is an OC who I've made for this purpose and everyone is probably OOC.
