The next week Kyle and Fish walked into Marty's office, both nervous.
"You both seem nervous." Said Marty
"Well we are." Said Kyle and Fish in unison
"Cute." Said Marty "I only have one question for you today Oliver, and I wanted Kyle to hear the answer."
"Told you." Said Oliver as Kyle smirked at him
"Okay." Said Marty "Oliver, why do find it hard to open up?"
"Ten bucks he says his parents." Said Kyle
"He's right there." Said Fish
"What do you mean Oliver?" asked Marty
"Easy." Said Fish "I spent so many years hiding who I was from them that I closed my life off to my parents and that eventually led into my other relationships. But that's not how I want my relationship with Kyle to be like. I want to open up to him I do." Oliver stopped and turned to Kyle "You have to know that I want to open up to you, it just might take some time to get to the point where it comes naturally. I want to tell you everything, but I'm just-"
"Not ready." Said Kyle "And I understand that. There will be times that as much as I may want or need to, I'll have trouble opening up to you as well. I think that might stem from residual heart break."
"Leftover from college?" asked Fish
"I don't want to say yes, but being honest, most likely." Said Kyle
"Hey I love you and I'm here." Said Fish "I'm not going anywhere I promise you that."
"I know, and I'm not going anywhere either." Said Kyle
"I think you two are good." Said Marty "My only note is that when it comes to stuff that happened between college and the time you got back together, don't be afraid to talk about it."
"We won't." said Kyle and Fish smiling at each other.
"Good," said Marty "I'm glad."
