Fics like i'll learn to find peace on the cross

Will is seven years old when he listens to a pastor’s homily for the first time. Children, regardless of the devotion of the homes they are raised in, rarely possess the awareness required to grasp what truly matters. They do not yet know how to listen and look for meaning, for consequence, for substance. So when Will’s mother elbows Will when he bites his fingernails so much that he draws blood—it’s probably one of the smallest things ever that has led Will to carry a certain ideal his entire life—but Will lifts his head. And he listens to every word Pastor Jonathan delivers from the pulpit. “Homosexuality is a sin,” Will recalls the sermon. He didn’t even know what the word homosexuality even meant until Pastor Jonathan opened his mouth. - Alternatively; Will Smith hockey has internalized homophobia which is rooted in religious guilt. He discovers what it means to love, nurture his faith, and maintain devoted all while loving a boy. Will thinks he knows what grace is. But he's yet to even figure it out.
