Writing Prompt: The Two Secretly Gay Characters
Character A is in the closet as gay, and has had an intense crush on Character B for the longest time. They never said anything because of fear of coming out and because they assumed that Character B was straight and uninterested. However, when they finally do come out...
Character A: “B, can we talk?”
Character B: “Sure, A, what’s up?”
Character A: “Sit down.”
Character B, sitting down: “You okay?”
Character A: “Yeah, well, no... yeah... I’m gay, B. I can’t hide it anymore. I’m gay, and I’ve been in love with you for ages. I had to say something.”
*silence*
Character B: “Fuck.”
Character A, fearful: “What?”
Character B: “Are you telling me that you’ve been gay this entire time?”
Character A, warily: “Y... yeah?”
Character B, throwing hands: “I’m gay, too! I didn’t say anything because I thought you were straight!”
Character A: “What the Hell!?”
Character B: “Are you telling me that we’ve both been gay this entire fucking time!? Hell, do you know how many dates we could’ve been on? We could be married by now!”
And that is how Character A and Character B got together.
