This is a pride month SRP of Mellie realizing his sexuality <3 my boy is so grown help me. - - - - - - . . . the light shines bright into the mediator den, Melancholy looks up from his position of fixing the sandpit and cleaning it out. His deep golden eyes soften as he slowly opens the moss 'door' and steps out into the light, he takes a deep breath and sighs. He had been very busy this past moon, and was happy to be getting a break from the chaos. His adoptive sister, Ladybugshine, was his first appointment. Then a marriage counseling between two mates who, eventually, divorced. Now, he was doing ongoing therapy with this. . charming tom he'd met. It was strange, the small fluttering he felt in his chest when the other cat - Funnelchaos - began to laugh at Mella's stupid jokes. Or when Funnel kept on bringing him prey, despite the chaos that had been flooding the clans as of late. Melancholy was confused. He'd had a crush only twice in his life, both on she-cats. A gorgeous bigender she-tom named Evening-rosepromise that he'd fallen inlove with, but she'd passed from an illness. And then another she-cat who barely ever spared him a glance, stars above he was a helpless romantic. He loves, and he looses. Over, and over again. But this time felt strange. The fire within his chest seemed to burn brighter, stronger whenever Fenn was around. He felt. . . alive. He probably stared too much, but ah . . he couldn't help it. He was attracted to this other cat, not just by looks- but the other's captivating personality drew him even closer. He'd heard the term before; homosexual. Meaning one loves the same gender as himself or herself, an umbrella term that wasn't defined by one's gender. Gay; like the opposite his baba and papa? That sounded right. . . Melancholy couldn't seem to see himself in a relationship with someone of the opposite gender, he wasn't repulsed, no, he just didn't find it as appealing as what he felt when he looked at those of his own. Gay. . . that's right. "This is me." Melancholy whispered and smiled, before turning around and walking back into the den. The flames on his tail forming a heart as he left. . . . . - - - - - - EEEK MY BABY IS GAY! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, FRIENDS!
