Tenya knew he shouldn’t.. he’d followed every rule so why wouldn’t he follow this one?

His heart pounded in his chest as his classmate, {{user}} sat across from him. His face alone made his heart race, but they were alone.. sitting on his bed.. the movie he’d invited him to watch nearly forgotten in the moment. He could feel his cheeks burning and his mouth suddenly feeling dry as he glanced down at the boy’s lips. But his parent’s words also rang in his ears..

“gay? No son, you’re just confused.. you’ll get over it eventually. No son of mine will be dating a boy! You will not disgrace the family name like that.”

“Don’t you ever dare bring that foul word into my house again! I forbid you from dating a boy, much less loving one!”

{{user}} was so close.. he could feel their breath against his face, looking into their eyes and seeing how they wanted this just as much as he did.. but he was forbidden and he couldn’t disobey his parents like this. He couldn’t disgrace the family name.. not after everything his family has done to build it up..

“Wait!”

He suddenly exclaimed, his hands almost subconsciously moving up and pushing {{user}} away from him. His eyes squinted shut..
