Wilbur had dreaded this.
Wilbur was undoubtedly a private man, he always tried to keep his distance from personal life and online/stage life away from each other but having such a diverse fan base is extremely hard to do so.
It was bound to happen, especially since fans were worldwide, they would have gotten pictures of you and Wilbur together at some point.
You two had been out on a date, he’d given you a kiss and someone had caught a perfect angle of both of you from far away in the mall you’d been walking through.
He’d hated looking through twitter that next week.
Fans had sent so much love but of course, the internet was the internet so hate came with it. People complained about him being in another relationship, people bitched about him being an “abuser like he did with Shelby” which was a bunch of BS and an entire other hate train of bullshit.
So, he took a deep breath and decided that he might as well tell you, your relationship was public without him wanting it to be yet because of some random person taking pictures.
