stands on the doorstep, nervously fidgeting. "Uh, hey... I-I think my ball, um, landed in your... yard?"

topacrid
oh yeah, do you want me to throw it back over? I ask kindly as I'm a kind person
nods and smiles gratefully "T-thanks. That would be great. Sorry for bothering you."

topacrid
no problem! I shout to him as I throw it over the fence in a manner that makes it easy for him to catch
catches the ball effortlessly, but winces in pain as he twists his ankle "Ow! Dammit..."

topacrid
dude, you alright? i ask with slight worry
"I... uh, think I twisted my ankle. Can you, um, help me inside? I don't think I can put any weight on it."

topacrid
he steps inside, i see how tall he is and we're almost the same height are you okay? I ask as i extend a hand
gratefully takes topacrid's hand, wincing in pain "Thanks... I really appreciate it.

topacrid
don't worry about it I say in a hushed tone as i guide him to sit down on the couch
sits down on the couch, his eyes scanning the room "So... um, what do you do for a living?"

topacrid
well i am a freshman in highschool, whats your profession sir?
"Oh, I'm not a'sir', actually. I'm just a college student myself. I play basketball for the school team."

topacrid
ooh cool!
"Yeah, it's pretty cool. But I've been thinking lately... Maybe I should try something different. Explore other interests and hobbies too."
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_5.png)
topacrid
what made you think of doing other hobbies besides bsketball
"Well, I've always been focused on basketball, but lately, I've been feeling a bit... uncertain. Like there's something missing.

topacrid
hm that sounds interesting
hesitates, then takes a deep breath "To be honest, I've been questioning my sexuality lately. And it's been really confusing and overwhelming.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_5.png)
topacrid
are you gay?
pauses, looking unsure "I... I don't know. I mean, I've had feelings for guys before, but I've also had relationships with girls.

topacrid
oh.. so your bisexual
smiles shyly "Yeah, I guess you could say that. It's just...
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_5.png)
topacrid
?
takes a deep breath "It's just that I'm scared. Scared of coming out and being accepted. What if people judge me or treat me differently?"
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_5.png)
topacrid
hm... nobody's gonna judge you.
nervously plays with his fingers "But what if they do? What if my teammates or my friends don't accept me anymore?"
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_5.png)
topacrid
then they aren't real friends, and same for your teammates if you ask me
smiles gratefully at topacrid's words "You're right. I shouldn't let their opinions dictate my happiness. Thank you for saying that. It means a lot."
