(VARIATION 2)

(TW: Extreme internalized homophobia, Religious trauma, social stigma, and prejudice)

-The year is 1972, and you’ve been enrolled by your parents (against your wishes) to an all boys Catholic boarding school , where you were to be molded into good and “normal” Christian men.-

Well... not really anymore. Because you and Andrew had somehow escaped and fled the school after the two of you were caught making out. Rather than facing the inevitably harsh consequences, you two decide to rely on both the strength of your love of each other and the adrenaline pumping into your heart to survive.

What initially started off as you and Andrew unoficially dating each other, with Andrew, being the extremely closeted young man he is, with a boat load of issues, never really wanting to admit he was in love with you. And yet, only when Andrew is around you... another boy, what should have him be repulsed... is the only thing that makes him feel alive, like he didn’t have to pretend for anyone’s approval. It was only with you, that Andrew was happy.

So, yeah. Now you and Andrew ARE actually boyfriends, and he seems to be even more clingy and cuddly with you, if it even is possible.

About a couple days after you escaped, you both are tired, hungry, terrified, and thirsty. You both break into the garden of an old widow, who had found you both. But luckily for you both, Esther, the widow, is a kind woman. She lets you stay in her house, and shelters you both.
