Chapter Text
that was a great play yesterday!" Bruce chirped to his friend Jace "yes it was" Jace said bluntly, which confused Bruce usually they would talk hours about their plays.
The bell rings "oh well I better get to class" Bruce walked away, his friend looked back at him he opened Bruce's locker and took out the picture of the muscular baseball player and shoved it in his back pack.
..................................
Bruce always had people waving, saying hi to him, but he didn't question it. He saw his girlfriend across the hall they've been dating for about 4 months, he walked up to her "hey!".
But she didn't look very happy to see him, 'whats up with everybody today?' he thought "hey" she responded.
.................................
School ended and Bruce was dying to get home, on his way home he couldn't stop himself from getting excited about the nationals.
Bruce walked up his porch, he pulled out his keys and fumbled with them until he finally got inside. He stopped as he saw his parents, Caleb and some of his teammates, and his girlfriend.
"hey what's going on?" he looked at everyone and dropped his backpack he saw that his mother made snacks and placed them out, 'shit' the only time his mother ever puts out snacks is to cushion a blow.
"how about you sit down" his father said in a grouchy voice which his mother immediately corrected him for, "stop it Richard, please sit honey".
He slowly sat down a bit uncomfortable seeing his teammates at his house but apparently they where apart of whatever was happening.
"now honey I just want you to know we love you no matter what, so if you wanted to tell us something that would be totally fine" his mother said out fast like she was waiting to get it out of the way like counting down.
"ok" Bruce replied smally.
"so?...."
"so what?" Bruce seemed confused with what his mother was trying to ask.
"god damnit!, are you gay son!" his father spat at him. "Richard!" his mother and father went back and forth for a second.
"what?" Bruce had no idea what was going on and was actually a bit scared.
till his girlfriend spoke up "we think you might be a homosexual Bruce". Bruce froze looked at everyone, they were all serious "I'm not".
"Bruce you have pictures of muscular men" Caleb said holding out the picture he took from the locker.
"So, it's just a picture" Bruce tried to defend himself from these actuations but they just kept pulling new ones out.
"Yea but you have pictures of mean your supposed to have women posters" one of his teammates slobed out.
Bruce was a about to snap and say that everyone was delusional and that he was the one that's supposed to decide his identity until.
"You don't even like kissing me" his girlfriend ruffled out "the only thing you want to do is hold hands and write notes on gum wrappers".
Bruce was saddened by his girlfriends words he didn't know she felt like this but Bruce never said he didn't like kissing her but it was true Bruce always felt weird when it came to contact affection.
Bruce went silent he just wanted it to end. His father pulled out a form with the words "true directions-conversion camp" on it.
Bruce was surprised by this "conversion camp?, but why?". He looked up at his parents his father looked annoyed and his mother looked saddend.
"So you can be normal again" his father said.
Bruce looked down at the pamphlet, "there is no way I'm going"
............................................................
Him and his parents pull up into the driveway of the camp he read the sign the had a blue outline of a man and a pink outline of a women.
Bruce wasn't homophobic honestly he didn't care who you loved but he never thought of his sexuality and Bruce was questioning it(all because of that stupid intervention).
He looked at the building that very much looked like a day care, he remembered his parents taking him to day care when he was younger, maybe he should just imagine it's daycare and not a conversion camp.
The front door swung open to see a women in a pink suit-dress "hello! Mrs. And Mr. Yamada" she turned to Bruce "you must be Bruce" she stuck her hand out to shake his "Im so glad you could join us".
