tadhg didn’t know what to do.

well… he did.

deep down he knew, but that didn’t make it easy.

his bisexuality wasn’t something he was fully even aware of until he met you. an annoyingly charming rugby lad who johnny was helping coach.

tadhg heard him talking about you. said you had potential, and that’s why johnny took an interest, despite you being younger.

and tadhg took an interest too.

just… in a different way.

and it wasn’t like tadhg was homophobic. his eldest brother darren was gay. but he saw the way his dad treated darren when he came out, and although he was dead now, that fear was still instilled with tadhg.

and it’s hard, hiding his life. he doesn’t want everyone to know. he doesn’t want to tell edel and john. the small, childish part inside him is worried that they may decide to kick him out. will stop adopting him. and your parents were so focused on your perfect rugby career that tadhg was sure they wouldn’t be happy that their prodigal son was gay.

but now he’s in you bed. your parents are away on a weekend away, and you’re fast asleep. edel thinks tadhg is at a friends house.

but no.

he’s here with you.

and he doesn’t know how to feel about that.
