Mitch's PoV
"Uh. A game? Sure. What game?" I was generally curious...
"Truth or dare" he said without missing a beat, he answered so quickly I almost choked on his words.
"Oh, okay, sure. I choose truth..."
"Are you gay?"
No. No I'm not in fact. I just told everyone that as a joke, aren't I funny.
"Yes, yes Scott I am. I thought you knew? Everyone knows"
"You are?!?" He seemed excited for some reason.
"Yeah. Okay, your turn. Truth or dare" 
Scott raised his eyebrow while deep in thought... Come on, it's not that hard, it's just a game.
"Truth"
"Okay, are you gay?"
He froze.
Oh no
I've offended him
Oh no
Oh no
"Okay, I'm sorry I take it ba-"
"I'M GAY"
Scott shouted it as if there was hundreds of people who needed to hear... Or maybe he shouted it so he could hear it himself this time...
"Yes Mitch. I'm gay! Oh my god I'm gay! I've never told anyone before... I'M GAY"
He began to cry and I done my best to hold the big man in my embrace as I comforted him. He didn't seem sad... He seemed relived. Like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.
"Scott I'm proud of you, it's so hard saying it the first time, it'll get easier and I can help you come out if you'd like"
"You will?" He looked up at me through his eyelashes, with his big blue eyes. I felt them burn through a hole in my heart.
"Yes, of course I will! I'm here for you Scott!"
"Can I ask you something, it'll help me a lot if you do this for me. It'll help me come out and feel more comfortable about it"
I felt my heart race as he asked this. The question didn't sit right. Something was different in his tone. He seemed... Nervous.
Scott's PoV
Should I ask him?
No.
He won't help me like that.
Don't ask him Scott.

I felt the question at the tip of my tongue, like it was fighting it's was through my lips but I wouldn't let it pass.

"Mitch, will you-"

No. It's not the time or place Scott.

"Tell my parents with me?"

That is not what I wanted to ask but I'll save that question for later.
