"Philip I do really mean it, i'm sorry I act like a jerk towards you, it's just I can't shake the feeling that I'll be called names and-"

Philip shook his head letting out a shaky breath "It's not all about you Lukas. Love is determined by how you feel towards a person. No matter their gender, race, who their attracted to !  If you love someone you don't care about race, gender, who they identify as, who they love." Philip said looking at Lukas.

"But damnit I like you Philip! I really do I just... All the negative things and-"
Philip shook his head "don't think like that" Philip answered. "But what will everyone think I-I-" Philip sighed.

"You need to stop caring what others think about you. If you don't act towards them they'll realize there's no purpose in trying to get in your head" Philip reminded pulling Lukas' head up so their eyes met.

"Philip I can't-" Philip rolled his eyes "you can and you will. I'm not giving up on you that easily. It's you and I agsinst the world, always remember that" Philip whispered.
