Tonight was the night. Philip and I have been dating for 3 months and I'm finally ready to take the next step. The school already knows about me and Philip. I kind of decided to come out when one of my "friends" started to punch Philip for being gay. I punched my "buddy" Mark in the jaw, grabbed Philip's face and planted my lips on his in front of half the school.

Tonight, however, I'm going to come out to my dad, but Philip has no idea.

I ran my hands down the front of my shirt, smoothing out the nonexistent wrinkles. My hands were shaking from my nerves. I'm also going to tell Philip that I love him so this is a big night for our relationship.

My phone buzzed from where it lay on my bed.

From Philip: Hey, babe. You and your dad are still coming over tonight right? Helen said she'll look the other way tonight if we want wine or beer if it's ok with your dad!

To Philip: Yea, we'll be there. Can't wait to see you xxx

I set my phone down and ran my fingers through my hair. "Lukas, are you almost ready to go?!" I heard my father call from downstairs.

"Yeah, Dad! I'll be right there!" I shoved my phone into my pocket and ran down the stairs.

It was only eight o'clock when we got to Helen and Gabe's. We were all talking when Philip said, "Lukas you want to go look at the videos I edited?" He sent me a secret wink when no one was looking which I assume means we wouldn't be watching videos.

"Yeah, sure. I need new videos for my channel." We both grabbed a quick snack and a beer before running up to Philip's room. We both ate the snack on the stairs. As soon as we were in Philip's room, he pinned me to his now closed door and kissed me passionately. I locked the door and continued kissing him, leading him to his bed. I crawled on top of him, placing both of our unopened beers on the nightstand. I slipped my hands under his shirt and pulled it off. He slowly started unbuttoning my shirt but he was going too slow for my liking so I unbuttoned it faster and threw it onto the floor.

I leaned back down, placing kisses up and down his neck and on his jaw. "Luke, Lukas, hold on," He said, putting his hand against my chest. "I need to tell you something and if I don't say it now, I'll chicken out later." He took a deep breath. "Lukas, these past few months have been amazing. And it just pains me that we're not moving forward."

"Philip...Are...Are you...Are you breaking up with me? I know I still haven't come out to my dad, but I didn't think it bothered you much since Helen, Gabe, and the whole school knows." I climbed off of Philip and started putting my shirt back on. "I thought you knew I wasn't ready to tell him, but I will soon. I just really don't want to lose-." He cut me off by planting a firm kiss to my lips.

"I'm not breaking up with you, Luka. I know that you'll tell your dad when you're ready. I'm so proud of you for coming out to the school. And I love that I don't have to hide us from Helen and Gabe. What I was trying to tell you was that I love you, Lukas. Okay? I'm in love with you." My heart soared and I couldn't breathe.

"Damn. I was going to tell you that after midnight." I wrapped my arms around his waist as he was kneeling on his bed.

"Really?" he asked, hope shining in his beautiful brown eyes.

"Yes, Phil. I love you." He gave me a bright smile and slammed his lips onto mine, already unbuttoning my shirt again. He pulled me flush against him so our bare chests were touching. We continued kissing but it didn't go any further than that. We wouldn't dare with all of our parents being just downstairs. I had Philip wrapped in my arms. I was tracing lazy patterns on his arm when he heard Helen call up the stairs.

"Boys, five minutes until midnight!" Wow, we really lost track of the time. We both pulled our shirts back on and went down the stairs after fixing each other's hair. He even gave me a quick kiss, thinking we wouldn't be able to ring in the new year properly with my dad there.

Five...

I discreetly grabbed Philip's hand.

Four...

I held his hand tightly.

Three...

I turned to face my boyfriend.

Two...

He gave me a questioning look.

One...

I slowly leaned in.

Happy New Year...

I crashed my lips onto his. I slowly pulled away. "I love you," I said softly.

"No, you don't." I heard in a deep voice behind me.

"Dad, you can't tell me who I love. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But I'm gay. And I love Philip." I felt Philip squeeze my hand. That's the first time I said I'm gay out loud.

"Then don't bother coming home." He stormed out of the house and drove away. I didn't even notice I was crying until I felt Philip brush a tear away. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face into his shoulder, letting more tears fall.

I felt two hands on my shoulders. I could tell one was from Gabe and the other was Helen. "You can stay as long as you need to, Lukas," Gabe said. I heard the two adults leave to get ready for bed. Philip gently pulled me up to his room.

After we were both changed, I laid in bed with Philip, his head nuzzling into my bare shoulder. He did this whenever I was upset. It was oddly comforting. "I love you, Phil."

"I love you, too, Luka. I am so proud of you." I rolled over to face him and planted a soft kiss on his lips. "Everything will be alright, Lukas."

The next day...

"Lukas, can you come down here please?" I heard Helen call. I ran down the stairs to see my father standing in the middle of the living room.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" I took a quick glance behind me, looking around for my boyfriend. I saw him peeking his head out from the doorway.

"Philip, can you come here?" He slowly came out from his hiding place and began to walk forward.

"No," I said. Philip froze. "Be mad and hate me all you want. But I won't let you hurt Philip."

"I'm not going to hurt him, Son. I'm sorry about last night. I was just shocked. It's going to take some getting used to, but you are my son and I love you. You and Philip have my blessing."

"Wow. Um, thanks, Dad."

"Would you like to stay for dinner, Bo?" Helen asked.

"I would love to, Helen. I need to get to know my son's boyfriend a bit better."

I grinned and walked over to Philip, grabbing his hand.

"Yup, definitely going to take some getting used to." I laughed and led my father into the dining room.

I have a feeling it's going to be a great year.
