[Lily takes a seat, pulling the bowl of sugar closer to her so she can put a few scoops of sugar in her tea.]
I appreciate that, I think of you the same way. But if you really believe that, then why worry? No matter what your secret is, it shouldn't be anything to be scared of. You don't even have to tell me if you're really that uncomfortable.
["You don't even have to tell me if you're really that uncomfortable", that almost makes him change his mind. He's close to telling her to forget about it, but he catches himself instead. This is something he has to do, he knows that. No chickening out.]
I worry because a lot of people, at least in my world, don't approve of, well, me because of it. I lived most of my life thinking I was wrong because of it.
[He just needs to spit it out, rip it off like a bandaide.]
[He swipes at his eyes before moving to scoop a spoonful of sugar into his tea.
The question makes him blush, a silly little smile forming.]
My boyfriend. I think at least, we never got around to talking if we were or not before I came here but we did go on a few dates. And I... I like him a lot.

Well, that's certainly good to know. Thank you for telling me. Now, did you want any sugar?

Yes, please.
[He has to laugh, his voice catching. Ignore that please.]

I-I mean, um, I'm sure I talk about Remmy just as much as Rhyleigh.
[Was he that obvious?]
