I knew this wasn't going to be an all happy story or even a pleasant read from start to finish but this made me sad. Michael has just turned 16, this dude is at minimum 19. Creepy.

"I'm high on weed, about to lose my virginity in a graveyard."

Sweetie, that's just predatory. Michael is trying to numb his pain in a very vulnerable moment and this old man is taking advantage."

How to Come Out as Gay
Don't.
Don't come out unless you want to.
Don't come out because you think
society expects you to.
Come out for your yourself.
