Flare's Messed Up Life

Flare Burner and his family were at their dinner table in their house in Equestria’s capital, Canterlot. Just before the family could dig in on the delicious homemade salad right in front of them, Flare started to speak in a nervous way.

“G-guys I have something to tell y-you.” He said, trembling in fear.

“What is it Flare?” His mother asked, concerned why her youngest son was so scared. Flare opened his mouth to speak, but no words were spoken.

“Well c’mon Flare! I’m starving!” Flare’s older brother complained, not even caring a single bit about his younger brother.

“Well, spit it out!” Flare’s oldest brother yelled. The more they spoke, the more Flare was pressured to speak. Being that almost his entire family is Anti-LGBT and heavily religious, the only exception being his older brother, he didn't know what they would do to him.

“I-I-I’m…… B-B-Bisexual!” Flare managed to spit out.

The entire table went silent. Nobody spoke. The silence sent tons of alarms in his head. This was not going to go well.

In a fit of rage, his father levitated his bowl, and flung it at the wall. Flare flinched back at the sudden action. "I need a moment." he grumbled. He then stormed out of the room.

“There is no way that I have a slut for a son!” His mom yelled who shortly afterward started sobbing.

“W-What do you mean slut?” Flare asked, insulted by his mother’s remark on him.

“Because all you disgusting people want to do is buck everything you see!” His oldest brother scowled back at Flare.

Flare's father came back into the room. “It’s either you’re just straight, or I leave you out on the streets to fight for yourself!” He shouted.

“I-I don’t c-care what you say. I’m Bisexual!” Flare insisted back while his eyes started to water. Flare’s father got up from his seat and started to strike Flare on the head.

“I-I’m s-s-sorry!” a bawling Flare cried out.

“You can’t be sorry you bucking bisexual!” His father said, continuing to hit Flare on the head. Eventually, he stopped. Flare was thankful that the pain had subsided immediately afterwards.

“You got five minutes before I get your filthy flank out of this house!” Flare then sucked up the salad and ran to his room collecting needed items for living homeless. All of his bits, his saddlebag, a sleeping bag, and his anti-depressants. He stuffed all of this into his traveling case.

Flare then opened the front door to his house and ran. He didn't know where he was heading to. He just wanted to get away from his horrible family. That was the only thing that was on his mind.

He went into an alley where he started to breakdown and sob until he couldn't anymore. After fifteen minutes, he stopped, picked up his things and looked at where he should go. In the distance he saw Ponyville. Famous for being the home of Princess Twilight Sparkle. He pondered for a bit about if he should go being that it would be a long walk but after a few moments, he set off for Ponyville.
