your sexuality wasn't really up for debate in your mind, you like women and women only

definitely a lesbian

you see your friends knew and you think even some of your teachers at school knew because in all honesty you never really kept it a secret

but you hadn't ever officially 'come out' to one of the closest people in your life, that person being your mum

you hadn't told her because you generally didn't know how she'd react, probably not bad because she's your mum, she's scarlett johansson but there's always that little bit of doubt, at times causing your anxiety to spike that stops you from telling her

"dinners ready" your mum shouts from the bottom of the stairs

"coming"

on the way downstairs you noticed that rose wasn't barreling down by your side

in a matter of seconds you made it to the kitchen counter where your mum was finishing up some sandwiches

"mama, where's rose?"

"she went to romain's for the weekend, honey"

"oh, i didn't get to say goodbye" you frowned

"oh i'm sorry bubba, it was a last minute thing" she kissed your forehead and placed the plate with your sandwich on it in front of you

"it's alright, i'll call her later"

lunch was eaten in silence, not awkward but also not completely comfortable

the whole time while eating you were thinking of how and when you were going to tell your mum you were very much gay

snapping you out of your thoughts "what's going on in that mind of yours, sweetie?" she was on the other side of the counter with her head rested on her palm

you took a deep breath, now or never?

"i'm gay" you blurted way too fast for her to actually hear the words you said

"bidet?" she raised an eyebrow, her totally misinterpreting causing you to giggle a little

"i am gay, i'm sorry if you don't agree with that or like it but i really can't help it. it just kinda of is and there's nothing-" your mum cut you off with her finger pressing to your lips

she stayed quiet and the smile she was clearly trying to hide grew bigger

"please say something, mama"

"i'm proud of you, my bubba" you launched at her almost crying onto her shoulder

she rubbed your back with one hand and held your head closer to her chest with the other "so proud" you heard her sniffle and so you pulled away and wiped her tears

"i was waiting for you to tell me" she confessed

"you what?!"

"i'm your mother, y/n, you can't hide much from me... anddd lizzie sussed it out" a stray strand of hair was tucked behind your ear

"lizzie? how did she... nevermind, i'm just happy that it's finally out there and yeh" you breathed a big sigh of relief

"women are pretty cool" she admitted with a chuckle and nod of the head, walking to the living room and plopping down onto the sofa, opening her arms for you to cuddle into her and that you did

"love you mama"

"i love you, my baby"

the both of you cuddled up to one another, your head on your mum's chest, silently listening to her heartbeat. well that was until she basically jumped in her seat

"oh my god, you've got a crush on florenccceeeee"
