There’s something so thrilling every time Valentino says he’s gay. I feel like the room should’ve lit up in rainbows so I could’ve seen the word fly out of his heart-shaped lips. But honestly, the darkness makes sense, like there’s a storm still following Valentino wherever he goes because he has parents who aren’t giving him the love he deserves. I wouldn’t win the fight, but I’d still want to swing at someone in his defense.
