Nathaniel's P.O.V:

'Can I be anymore happier today?'

I feel my eyes calm down as my cheeks burn up more red. Is that even possible still? I already feel like a volcano is eating my face up alive. Marc in front of me with his cheeks also a vibrating red. My only instinct to our faces kicks in as I start to laugh softly, Marc's bright emerald like eyes wide still as only more sources to laugh at increases.

"Nathaniel? A-Are you o-okay?" Marc asks me as he keeps looking at me. I nod to him as I force my hands to stay away from my face.

"C-Could I-I be anymore okay?" I ask him as I keep smiling with my cheeks still as red as my own hair. Marc grabs my message off my face as he starts to laugh softly himself. With carefree worry if anyone can possibly see us together.

"I-I see..."

"S-So... b-boyfriends?" I ask to Marc, still smiling to him as Marc nods to me with his smile stuck on his face. I keep close to Marc as I carefully take a hand into mine, wow... how is he able to keep his hands so warm and soft?

"Y-Yep... g-guess so." Marc points out happily, his stuttering still in it's usual place but like I can care less about it. I honestly still find it cute, even after all the time we spend together.

I keep smiling as I hold Marc's hand in mine, Marc's face still red as he gently adds pressure to mine. I keep staring at Marc happily as his Kwami Spades looks out to me as he sighs in some type of relief. Do I realize? Yes of course, if not then why would I look away from my new love of my life just for nothing? Marc's lips stutter in place a little as he tries to choke out something, I fade my smile away as I keep looking at him.

"I-Is something wrong Marc?" I ask him as I use my only other free hand to stroke my hand to his face. Marc looks away momentarily from me as he reverts back to my gaze.

"H-Hm? O-Oh yeah! E-Everything is fine!" Marc informs me as he keeps smiling, though, why does this look a bit more... off? No Nathaniel stop trying to be so nosy, just because you become a couple with your crush, best friend and comic partner doesn't mean I have the excuse to always need to ask every minute if he's okay. Maybe Marc's just a little shocked still on everything happening today.

"Okay then! So... n-now we should get going back home... I-It's getting a-all little late b-by now."

"A-Agreed," Marc informs me as he stands up from the fountain, letting go of my hand as he walks away from me, stopping right in front of the park as he looks over his shoulder to me one last time, "S-See you tomorrow... I-I enjoyed our time together l-like always!"

Marc's P.O.V:

"Wow... looks like someone finally got his dream to come true. What a miracle am I right?"

I turn to Spades still snuggling up in my hoodie as I sheepishly chuckle but nod, I mean. I can't even be angry with my Kwami with his statement, it's true. My dreams for Nathaniel are coming true to this very second. I would pinch myself to see if everything is really a dream. But, already on that case as I place my opposite hand to the flesh of my skin, pinching it as hard as I can.

This is really it...

My hopes are all becoming my reality...

Heat rises to my cheeks as all I can do is just scream into the fabric of my red hoodie. Spades having a first class seat to my wonderful screaming as he covers his 'ears' with his stub hands. I'll just deal with Spades talk with me and screaming basically to him later. I keep up my muffling screaming into my hoodie as I soon stop and take my face out of my hood. Taking a deep breath as I look all around me. Then to the sky hovering over my head, it's really getting late. Plus, my mom is always so worried sick about me. I sit up from the ring of the park fountain as I hug my notebook close to my chest, walking away and back to my house. Spades peeking his head out by the ever slightest to me. Looking a bit dizzy as he growls softly.

"Next time you have to scream in happiness, I beg you to do it to something else or to someone else." Spades informs me as he still holds his head.

"N-Noted Spades... S-Sorry." I apologize to my Kwami as I focus my attention back to the streets in front of me.

"Seriously, at least you got yourself a great boyfriend!" Spades whisper informs me as I chuckle to myself gently.

"H-Heh... y-yeah..." I whisper out in a ghost volume as Spades chuckles mischievously. Rolling his big yellow snake eyes at me.

"Why sounding so confused like that? I mean... come on it's your crush for crying out loud!" Spades informs me as he flings his long mint tail around lazily.

"I-It's not I-I'm n-not happy! I-I'm just afraid that n-now we're going to the dance together... People m-might judge us and make N-Nathaniel reconsider u-us as a couple."

Spades sighs as he points me out into a alley way, well, it's not like I really ever need to be yelled at my mom time to time. I nod to my Kwami I step deep into the alleyway, I lift open a flap of my hoodie open as Spades flies right out, staring straight at me as he crosses his stub arms together at me.

"Marc, I know plenty of wielders back in the past that have had some problems with things like this. Most importantly, same sex relationships. There will be others out there that will say things like it's completely wrong or that it's evil to do something like that. Trust me, I've seen it a bunch of it work like a loop. But as long as you two are happy, then that is how it all should be. It's just love, and if seeing a girl and a boy together is fine. Then dating someone the same gender as you can't be as different! If it's so okay to be in a relationship with a girl and a guy, why can't the same be for a girl and girl? Or boy and boy? Look, what I'm trying to say is that... don't let others tell you what is right or wrong. You are in control not them." Spades informs me very maturely which honestly is really good advice. But at the same time this is pretty new for me. Including that fact that my Kwami is usually really lazy, sarcastic or too peppy at times for my taste.

"Huh... w-why can't y-you b-be like th-this more often?" I ask my Kwami as he shrugs his shoulders at me.

"Ehh... I honestly only do it when I feel like it's most needed." Spades informs me as he lowers himself and tucks back into my sweatshirt, "Now come on Marc, if we don't get moving now we'll end up getting a scream from you mom."

"M-More l-like me being s-screamed at Spades." I inform him as I spin myself around and step out of the alleyway. My Kwami still hiding in my coat as I flip the hood of my hoodie up over my head, I don't know why myself. But I already know for sure that my shyness is kicking right back in, or that can just be me still needing a break to realize this is my new reality, Nathaniel my boyfriend...

Nathaniel's P.O.V:

'Relax Nathaniel...'

I throw myself onto my bed as I stare up at the ceiling of my bedroom, if this is some cruel dream taking a serious tole on me then I wanna slap myself for dreaming something so realistic and real looking. But... Marc and I are officially a couple.

'Okay... Calm down... Though, why am I already wanting to propose to Marc?'

No, stop it brain that's too far from crossing the lines. We just start dating and my mind already hops all the way to me wanting to marry my brand new, including first ever boyfriend. Yeah, no way that is happening in the blink of an eye. I mean, it'll be really great if that could happen... But no that's no way happening, nope, not yet at the least. 

"Nathaniel? Are you okay?" I listen to my mom ask me as I snap myself back up from my bed as I hurry to my bedroom door, her voice is far too close to my bedroom for any comfort. I crack it open as I stare at my mom standing right outside my room, her matching red hair as mine tied back into a high bun as she wears her glasses and looks down to me. Of course she's taller then me... so embarrassing... 

"Y-Yeah mom, thanks," I inform her as I carefully start to close the door to her, but for her hand to stops me dead in my tracks as something in my heart leaps to her. What's going on? She's rarely ever like this. My mom reopens my bedroom door as she keeps her eyes on me. I stare back at her as I awkwardly clear my throat at her, "I-Is something up you want to tell me?" 

My mom nods her head as she easily allows herself into my bedroom, well, I can't fight so much with pushing her out as... she's my own mother. I sigh as I close my bedroom door behind me and I walk towards her, sitting on my bed just for me and patting a spot next to her. I take her patted up spot as I sit down, turning my head to her slightly with a strange atmosphere around my entire room with her now. 

"Listen... Recently... I..." my mom begins but chokes on her own words as I look at her curiously, recently she what?

"Mom? What is it your t-trying to say?" 

"I got a call from Marc's mom when you two were still out, so... You and Marc are now a couple?" My mom asks me as she looks at me with her eyes all over with curiosity, reflecting off her glasses as I gulp nervously. Oh god how? Why now?! But, how can I lie in this position? 

Honestly, there's no point in trying to lie at this point. Just because my mom already knows about most of the facts already, however, can she really support this decision made by Marc and I? 

"Y-Yeah it's true... Marc and I-I are a c-couple n-now." I confess to my mom as I look at her, though in process I choke on my own words coming out. 

My mom nods as she sighs softly, then quickly hugging me sweetly and warmly as my eyes are just wide open. Wait, am I missing something here from me mom? Is she somehow feeling sorry for me? Feeling angry about my choice but first wants to comfort me before yelling at me words about how everything can go wrong? My mom releases me from her hug as she holds her hands on my shoulders, looking at me with a soft smile. 

"Well, that's good to hear that your being so honest with me here Nathaniel honey." 

"W-Wait, your n-not at all concerned or mad at me for this-?"

"Why would I be mad or upset over something like that? It's just showing me that your growing up and you so happen to have gotten into a relationship with another boy. But, it's nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. Overall I'm just happy you trust me enough to tell me this," My mom explains as my heart suddenly feels a overwhelming wave of relief, both my eyes start to tear up as breathing turns more heavy, I hug my mom again as I start to sob softly, how am I suddenly so emotional over a talk? What is it I'm missing here? My mom chuckles softly as she keeps hugging me close to her chest, "I know I know, your probably confused on what your feeling right now. But that's fine too, all I'm saying is that I'm happy you found someone else you love. I just wanted to know for sure so I can say something more to you about your relationship..." 

I sniffle softly as I nod, pulling away again as I wipe my tears away with my wrist smudging at my eyes, "O-Okay m-mom... w-what's that?" 

"You two may be happy about on how you two are in a relationship, but there are unfortunately other people out there that can see you two as a couple a curse or something. Whatever they might say about you two in this relationship doesn't matter. All that truly matters is that you two are happy. As you mother, I want to make sure your safe and happy on how you are. Right now, I'm happy and so proud of you being able to have Marc as your new boyfriend. Things might turn out rough at first, but make sure that you two stay strong and ignore any hateful comments. Because, in the end it'll all end eventually and people will understand about same gender relationships." 

I listen and absorb every word my mom informs me as I chuckle and keep drying my eyes up. My mom smiles still as she stands up and heads out my bedroom and opens the door. Starting to walk out as I catch up to her. 

"W-Wait mom!" I squeak out as she stops and turns back to me. 

"Yeah?" 

"T-Thanks..." I inform her genuinely as she smiles and nods her head to me. 

"Dinner will be done soon Nathaniel honey."

(Hiya! Janis_The_Bunny back at last with another new chapter of this Fanfiction! Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter! I apologize for the sudden hiatus and I promise I will try my best to get more chapters out. But first I need to discuss something here personally on this chapter I made.

If you are somehow Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, you name it you don't need to feel alone on this problem. As I tried to address in this chapter that even if you are in some same sex relationship or attracted to anyone who is the same gender as you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that type of love. There will be people out there who will judge you on who you are attracted to or in a relationship with just because the two partners are the same gender. I know this struggle myself as I myself had a attraction to a girl back in middle school, guys and some girls would whisper about us being a 'couple' *We were never actually a 'couple'* and think it's wrong. Before she moved away, I'm now a high schooler in Sophomore year. Still to this day I gain attractions to both girls and boys. *Yes I am Bisexual* Still I gain crushes to girls and boys alike. Even still there are people against the idea of same sex relationships and/or crushes. If you are someone that actually has sexual orientations, whether being Bisexual, Gay or Lesbian. Then you shouldn't try to hide it, trust me, it will feel a lot more better with having a close family member or trustworthy friend know. 

If I managed to have someone feel somewhat a little less lonely in this cause as I might feel lonely myself in these specific issues, then my work here is completed.)
