STUPID SONG ON THE RADIO — private

[dannychan]

Wasn't this exciting! His first gay pride protest! ... can you notice the sarcasm? It was really quite obvious. Dallas had dreaded this moment since his parents had given him that stupid "god hates faggots" pin and told him they would be bringing him to a protest. That morning, he hadn't put on the pin until they were at the location, and he was too humiliated to let anyone see his sign or pin, so he covered his torso with a pin and kept his head down. When he saw people in bright colours and with huge smiles on their faces, he could feel the guilt clawing at his chest. He was a hypocrite. He quickly slipped away, running off and leaning on a building a bit away from the protesters, still covering his torso with the painted side of the sign to his torso. He slowly slid to sit on the concrete, looking down. It wasn't long until he felt someone nudge him with their foot, and he looked up. Who he saw, he immediately recognised as a parade goer- simply because they weren't wearing hate.. unlike him.

Raivis had been... extremely excited to come to pride, if he was being honest. He'd been too anxious to go the first one or two years he'd been out of the closet, but eventually his friends had convinced him, and he was honestly having a great time. The only reason he'd snuck off was because it was all a bit overwhelming. When he saw a boy curled up against the wall of a building, he frowned, moving over to the other. He couldn't have been that much younger. He said softly as he nudged the other with his foot, his head tilted, "Are you alright...?" He was wearing a necklace that had two male symbols linked together, and a shirt that had an eevee exploding into a rainbow of evolutions that said "EEVEE IS GAY TOO" and he had a little rainbow star underneath his eye. Compared to some people, he was actually pretty subtle.

He blinked up st him, hesitating. "Uh.. yeah.. I'm fine I guess.. just.." he breathed, glancing around the corner at the protesters- where his parents were. He pressed the sign closer to his chest, toes curling in his shoes.

Blinking, Raivis glanced at the corner as well, raising his eyebrows, "Oh Jesus, I forgot about the protesters." He then said, noticing the sign and frowning, "Aw, shit. You were with them, weren't you? Not another one... your parents dragged you here, right?"

He bit his lip and clenched the wooden stick holding the sign tightly in his fist. "I.. I'm sorry.." he breathed and struggled to his feet, quickly rushing off. He honestly felt dizzy. There were too many screaming people and the music was too loud. His shirt felt to tight, and his hand felt like it was broken.

As the other rushed off, Raivis frowned and bolted after him, worried. This kid seemed like he was panicking, and he didn't want him to get hurt.

He kept walking, trying to get away from the screaming and music, dropping the sign and struggling to get the pin off his shirt, poking his fingers multiple times in the process. He looked at his bloody fingers and threw down the pin, stopping when he saw a whole horse of celebraters pass in front of him. His world just sounded like his ears were filled with water at this point, and he felt sick.

Frowning, Raivis followed behind him and gently grabbed the other by the arm, pulling him into a nearby shop, and closed the door, saying softly, "Hey, kid?" There was still music and voices, but it was muffled.
