"Oh, boo-hoo, Mom found out that you have a crush on Aunt Micaela's new husband! Poor you! It's totally the equivalent of Mom and Dad finding out that I'm gay when I wasn't ready to tell them!"

It's not like you hadn't been telling people already! And they deserve to know! *She struggled to her feet, wincing a little.* People deserve to know things about the people they love!

"Hey, the only reason you found out was because you saw us kissing! The only person I told consensually was Aunt Micaela, and only because I knew she'd had experience with this sort of thing!"

So you weren't even planning on telling me? You were going to keep another huge secret from me? I'm glad you had so much trust in me. Really, it just builds me up to know that you were so confident about my ability to keep a secret. *She added the book to her stack, placed them on a desk, and turned to face him again.* You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Teddy, that you weren't ready. I'm sorry that you weren't brave enough to tell them yourself. I'm sorry that you weren't brave enough to tell me about the letter. I'm sorry you weren't brave enough to tell me you were gay, that I only found out because I witnessed it. But you know what? I'm not sorry that I told Mom and Dad. Because they deserve to know. And as much as I can't stand you right now? You deserve to not have them trying to set you up or asking you hundreds of questions about every girl you meet, which is what they would have started doing.

"I was going to tell, just not yet! I wanted a chance to figure things out for myself before you guys knew! Not everybody is very kind to people like me. As long as you found out while I was in a happy, stable relationship, you wouldn't worry as much. That's why, not because I was afraid or ashamed!"

*She had no idea what to say. She just bit her lip and studied his face, thinking as quickly as she could.*

He frowned at her expectantly, waiting to she what she had to say to that.

*She tried to glare at him but failed spectacularly due to her trembling lower lip and tear-filled eyes.* I...I...I'm going. *She bent over to pick up her stack of books.*

Teddy watched her go and sighed. She'd apologize when she was ready.

Fitz sat down beside her. "How bad is it?"

*She shook her head slightly, still frowning, as she turned a page.* It's bad, Fitz. *She glanced over at him, setting the papers down.* Really bad.
