Out of the Closet || Max thunderman

A/N: Hope you like it, let me know what you think. I have a 2 Max and Allison fics coming up and a few others. December is pretty much gonna be just Lab Rats: Elite Force so look forward to that.

Quarantine update, was only out for one day before mom got tested when she went to the hospital yesterday and put us right back in again. She's got covid pneumonia. 10 more days out of work. Let's hope I've still got my job 🤞

He was felt nauseous calling his first family meeting. He had to get it out in the open. He was so sick hiding who he was. He cupped his hand over his mouth, "I'm calling a family meeting!" He yelled. 

Phoebe was the first one to enter the room from the kitchen eying him suspiciously, "What did you do?" She asked. 

"Just sit, Dweebe," Max huffed glaring at his sister. He didn't blame her suspicion, he had been nervous the past couple of days trying to work up to coming out to his family. 

She rolled her eyes but sat down. Billy sped down the stairs with Nora not far behind and sat on either side of Phoebe. Chloe teleported with the parents who seemed just as confused as his twin. 

"Max, you never call family meetings," Barb said wrapping an arm around her son. 

He rolled his eyes and leaned out of her grip, "Just sit, Mom." He didn't want her to hold him yet, just in case it all goes south. He wanted that distance. 

They took their seats, whispering to each other shooting looks to Phoebe. 

Max immediately wanted to chicken out and hide away in the safety of his lair. Now that he was staring at his family it didn't seem as appealing. What's just another secret?

No, he had to do this. They deserved to know and he just wants to finally be able to bring a guy home. He shoved his panic aside and focused on getting it out.

He clapped, "Now that I'm a hero, I figured I would tell you something I've hidden for years. Its nothing bad, its just something I was absolutely terrified about bringing to light," he started. 

He hid it well, fake it to you make it. He had know he was gay since he was in 7th grade. Something thats ridiculously painful to hide. At the time that wasn't that accepted so he'd flirt with girls. He'd take being a "player" than being gay. 

He knew his parents didn't care, they had gay sup friends, but he wasn't sure how they'd take it knowing one of their children was playing for the other team. He had sneaking suspicions though that Billy was bisexual, so it could be a couple of years before Billy brings a guy home. 

"Max, sharing his secrets?" Nora said sarcastically. 

Max fake laughed before glaring at her, "shut it little bow peep." 

Nora glared adjusting her bow. Max wrapped his arms around himself and took a few deep breaths trying to get the nerve to get those two words out. 

"I, uh..." Max tried but it wasn't coming out. He closed his eyes trying to keep his calm, "I'm-" 

Phoebe stood up and walked over to Max and reach out her hand and Max flinched, she stopped where she was before continuing slower and made contact with his shoulder. Max wanted to just collapse in her arms and just cry. 

"Is Max okay?" Chloe asked. Looking up to Barb and Hank. 

Phoebe wrapped an arm around him and he tried so hard to keep the tears at bay but they rolled down his cheeks in defiance. 

"Max, whatever is going on in your head right now, just now that no one is going to judge you," Phoebe said. 

"I'm gay!" He blurted out and covered his mouth. 

Phoebe wrapped him up in a hug and he gave in and cried into her shoulder. She held him tight and tucked her head into his neck, "I'm proud of you, Max." She said making max cried harder. 

"What's gay?" Billy and Chloe asked. 

"It means he likes boys," Nora answered. 

He pulled himself away from his sister and looked at his family. Barb seemed okay with the news but Hank looked constipated. 

"I... I realized in 7th grade. I knew it wasn't something that was okay so I hid it. It wasn't hard. You weren't paying much attention to me back then anyway," he said. He wiped his cheeks, and looked to his sister who was giving him a smile, encouraging him to continue. "So that's it. I'm gay. I figured its time to know." He said shifting awkwardly. 

"You're still my baby," Barb said getting up and hugging him. 

He wrapped his arms around her tight and hank walked over, "Son, I can't pretend I understand it, but I'm glad you told us." 

Max turned and pulled his father into a group hug. Billy and Nora fell into his side and Chloe worked her way into the middle of the hug. 

Phoebes arms wrapped around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder. He felt a huge weight lifted from his chest.
