I let Keith in, and he instantly began to squeal, “DUDE, LOOK AT THIS!” He handed me his phone, which had his and Xavier's text messages

“KEITH!” My mom squealed, “You’ve got a date?!”
“I mean, not official, since he’s a baby gay, and hiding deep in the closet, but I hope so.”
“Oh, well tell me about this baby gay! I need the details!”
“Haha, well, his name is Xavier-”
“Wait, the same one that-”
“Yeah.”
“Oh.” She seemed slightly shocked, “Wasn’t expecting that.”
“I don’t think anyone else was either. The only one who knew before was Alan,”
“So, I assume he’s not actually an asshole then?”
“Yeah, he’s actually pretty nice. He’s actually really shy too, which I wasn’t really expecting.”
“Damn. You better bring this boy over to dinner sometime, you hear me?”
“Yeah, yeah, I will,” Keith smiled, “If he’ll agree to it.”
“I hope he does, you’re like my other child, and I need to make sure he’s a good fit for you.”
“I’m sure that he is…”
“Okay, but you’re head over heels for him, Xavier! Jasper, is Xavier a good match?!”
“From the one time I’ve seen him be genuine, I think he is.” I nodded,
“Why does he hide it in the way that he does? I understand being closeted and all that, but harassing other gay people? That’s not something you say all that often.”
“I think he’s afraid.”
“You think?” I raised an eyebrow, “He is totally afraid. He was panicking the whole time you guys talked.”
“Yeah, okay, he’s terrified, and I don’t think he knows how to react. Besides, his friends are openly homophobic, and if he wasn’t too, they might get the idea… Which is dumb, but… y’know.” Keith shrugged, before continuing on about Xavier, “He’s also got really bad issues with internalized homophobia. He told me that, for whatever reason, he thought that if he harassed other gay folk, that it would somehow un-queer him.”
“That makes more sense.”
