Yikes I live in a small ass town and everyone knew I was gay when I was twelve since I didn't know better and just went around blurting it out because I thought I was special...
I don't know how I would have acted hearing the things those people said. Thankfully no one really bothered me about being gay since I went to school with pretty much the same crowd my entire school time. I was just the quiet introverted gay girl that wore nothing but band/anime/wrestling t-shirts that smoked weed before school.
So so glad I never had to deal with this and I was in High school in the early 2000s before it was as acceptable as it is now.
Anyway way off topic this is super cute never saw this one was a nice quick read I LOVE the art. And it seems both our leads are going through a bunch of shit and just hiding it to get by they both need hugs and actually love so bad :(
