Review this to motivate me pls... lots of lovee!

"I...think that went well!" Johnny stares at the empty doorway, where his father just fled from shock. Peter immediately snakes his muscular arm around Johnny's slender waist and kisses his soft hair.

"It could've been a lot worse. You could have been Phil's son."

Johnny lets out his goofy giggle, "well I did get off with his actual son once."

"No w-"

"But that's for another time." Johnny holds a finger to Peter's lips. "You know I was gonna tell you something?"

"What, the thing you were gonna say before I started distracting you?"

"Yes - well, it was that I wanted to tell our parents. Or just mine, if you weren't ready. But like, yeah," Johnny scratches the back of his scalp and blushes, as usual, "I, like, wanted everyone to know, and, you know, wanted us to not worry anymore. Obviously this doesn't mean we have to, like, I can get my dad to be quiet, but-"

"Johnny. Babe," Peter starts in his deep voice that sends shivers down Johnny's spine, "we'll tell Ian, Jane, Denise, or even fucking Max Branning. As long as we're there together, I'll be fine. And I know how everyone can find out together."

"Really?" Johnny smiles widely and steps closer to Peter, jumping up and down excitedly. Peter holds his hips and settles him.

"Yeah. The pub - here, of course. Bring everyone in, drinks on me, then tell everyone. What's the worst that can happen?" Peter smiles and pecks Johnny's lips.

"On my side or your side?" Johnny asks, narrowing his eyes; Peter frowns suspiciously. "I mean, my parents know I'm gay. They know I'm bound to get a boyfriend sooner or later, and you're hot as fuck so they'll probably be happy for me. It's your dad I'm worried about. He doesn't even know you have a bent bone in your body."

"...that's true."

"I think it's best to tell your dad before everyone else." Johnny runs his hand up Peter's arm and looks into his eyes.

"I don't know. If it goes badly with my dad, it'll put me off telling everyone else."

"Well, there's that..." Johnny hooks the side of the finger above his lip in thought process.

"Look, why don't we just do it to the pub tonight? Before we have second thoughts or doubts or whatever."

Johnny hesitates, "okay."

Eight hours later, Johnny and Peter are perched at the end of the bar on towards the side of the kitchen, in order to avert the awkward gazes of his father. As Peter and Johnny engage in light conversation about childhood memories, Whitney bursts through the doors followed by Lauren, Jane, Ian, Dot, Sharon, Ben and Jay. Whitney gives Lee a kiss behind the bar before joining everyone, the multitude of them spanning out across three tables. Sharon gets up to get a round in and Johnny is thankful for the light murmurs of chatter happening; he's so scared they'll hear his heart beat racing. He looks to Peter for comfort, who gives him a warm smile.

Just then, Mick and Lee come over to help Sharon with the drinks, and when Sharon sits down she says, "so, Johnny, what's this important announcement? I've had to let Roxy take over The Arches for the night."

Johnny is about to answer when Ian interjects, "I thought it was Peter's announcement?"

Everyone is quiet. Not in an awkward way, but in a curious way. Of course, they don't know what's actually coming.

"It's a- it's a - joint, thing, you know?" Johnny scratches the back of his head before he gets up and goes behind the bar, "dad!"

"What is it, Johnny? We're busy." Mick says, not turning round as he pours a pint.

"I need a word. It's urgent."

Mick looks at him now, in a very defeated way, and lets Lee take over the bar to lead Johnny out back. "What?"

"I'm sorry," Johnny says, but to no avail. "I am! And me and Peter can't keep doing this - sneaking behind people's backs, feeling guilty for getting caught... it's not right."

Mick considers this for a moment, before slowly looking up in realisation. "W-wait, you aren't gonna-?"

"Yeah, we are. We're telling everyone."

"J-Johnny - you can't - what if Peter doesn't feel the same way - his feelings must be everywhere-"

"He loves me too, I can tell!"

"But your mother - she's at your nan's!" Mick frets.

"I'll tell her when she gets back. We need to do this right now."

Mick pauses. He look at his son with worried yet loving eyes, before calling up the stairs, "Nance! Your brother's got an announcement to make!"

Johnny smiles widely before embracing his father.

By the time they get round to saying anything, Whitney is pissed.

"Johnny, Peter, whoever! Make the bloody announcement!" Sharon grins.

"Okay- okay! Okay." Peter holds his hands up, and Johnny blushes. He's not good at these things. "Me and Johnny," he starts, before looking at his lover, "we're together. We're an item. Yeah." Peter looks up to everyone's faces whilst Johnny puts his fingers in between his.

Whitney bursts out laughing, "what?!"

"It-it's true." Johnny says, and a caring look into Peter's eyes confirms it to everyone.

Ian gets up and leaves immediately, quickly followed by Jane after an apology to them both. Johnny hears Ben murmer 'good on ya, mate' and Jay nods in approval.

"Oh I say," Dot says into her sherry, "two marvellous looking boys like yous two together? Should be a sin." This makes Johnny smile, and Mick puts a hand to his shoulder, "so proud of you son."

"Finally!" Nancy smiles before giving Johnny a kiss on the cheek and retreating upstairs.

"Well, I certainly didn't see it coming, but... good luck to the both of you!" Sharon holds her drink up to them and smiles.

"What the fuck?" Lauren's suddenly in front of them with a massive grin on her face, "Peter, did I turn you gay?" she asks seriously, and Johnny lets out a laugh.

"I did." He said, and this made all of them laugh.

Peter kisses his boyfriend's hand in nonchalance, heart still pounding from his dad walking out. But things would certainly get there, it was clear to see.
