THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM
Twice before Leon had tried to tell D how he felt and twice he had backed out at the last minute, too afraid to go through with it.
It
wasn't so much that he was ashamed of how he felt about the other
man, as he was concerned about the reactions he expected to receive
from his family. They were a rather traditional, straight-laced group
and although he didn't think they would disown him completely if
they
found out he was, well… homosexual, he knew that more than
a few of them wouldn't have anything to do with him for a long time,
if ever. And for the longest time he didn't think he could take that
sort of rejection.
After many long nights of soul searching, Leon finally decided that he didn't really care what his family thought of his alternative lifestyle. With D he was happy and at peace for the first time in a very long time. And that would just have to be enough. If given enough time he was fairly (almost) certain that the others would come around and accept his decision. And if they didn't… well, there was always Chris. His younger brother understood a lot more about his relationship with D and he was quite an open-minded kid.
Leon sighed and sipped his coffee nervously as he slouched at his desk waiting for the workday to be over. He glanced at the clock for the umpteenth billion time and swore that time was going backwards.
"Today's the day," he promised himself. "I can do this. It is important that I tell him how I feel."
"I just hope
he feels the same way."
THE END
