He never liked talking about his home life. You knew how bad it was, it was hard for you, his boyfriend to not be able to do anything about it but be by his side. You were his safe space, no matter what. Our sexuality wasn’t accepted by everybody but we had each other, that’s all. Recently, you noticed he fell back into old habits of smoking, drinking and hanging with delinquents. It was tiring for you too, you knew he was a bright guy. To see him do this to himself was hurtful.
