It had been two weeks since Willy and Charlie's argument, Charlie hadn't seen Willy once in 14 whole days and was beginning to worry. Charlie and Mike also have become closer, Charlie had requested that they take the relationship slow and Mike agreed and so far they had been doing good.

Charlie was planning on coming out to his parents he didn't want to tell his father directly but he didn't mind telling his mom.

Charlie sighed as he walked into his house and spotted the one person that he wanted to tell. ''Hello baby! How are you? You look upset, come,sit love.'' She said patting a nearby chair.

''Mom I was wondering if we could talk outside...'' Charlie said trying to lead her from the house. His father looked puzzled and sat down his paper looking worried.

''What's wrong son?'' He asked leaning in alittle. Charlie shook his head ''Nothing father!'' then he sped off with his mother out of earshot.

''Well mother I don't want you to love me any less and I really love you but mum...'' he looked around nervously,''Mum,um I'm gay.'' Charlie squeezed his eyes shut waiting to get cursed out and screamed at but instead he heard his mother whisper,'' I could never stop loving you over that.''

His mother motioned for him to sit next to her ''How do you know? is there someone special?'' she asked looking alittle excited.

''Yeah, You remeber Mike Teavee?'' Charlie asked.

''Yeah! That American bloke that was playing video games on the telly and got to come here years ago. Are you dating him?''

''Yes ma'am...'' Charlie said nodding meekly.

She smiled jumping for joy,''Am I the only one that knows?'' She asked grinning. ''No I told Willy but he doesn't know that my boyfriend is Mike because I know that he couldn't stand him.''

''Oh, How did Wonka react?'' She asked curiously. ''He seemed like he didn't aprove...'' Charlie said sadly.

His mother sighed ''Most people won't...Now. I'm going to go and get your father and we're going to tell him together okay. He may not like it but he'll always love you darling.''

Charlie sat and waited for her to return with her husband. She made him sit right next to Charlie and said ''Our son has something to tell you love.''

He smiled at Charlie making him feel guilty so Charlie hid his face and turned from him. ''What's wrong son? Is it grades? Did someone fight you? what happend?'' There was silence,''Come on son, you never tell your old pa anything now a days it's always Wonka that you talk to, you can tell me anything.''

''Well,dad I'm gay.'' Charlie whispered.

''Huh? what?'' he asked cleaning out his ears.

''I'm gay dad.'' Charlie whispered again.

Mr. Bucket shook his head ''You just haven't found the right girl because I just don't believe that...''

''I have a boyfriend and I think I'm in love.'' Charlie said louder.

''B-Boyfriend?'' his father chuckled and turned to his wife ''Shelia did you hear that? He's got a boyfriend!''

''He's not joking Josh!'' she yelled.

shook his head,''I-I don't know I guess...I just don't agree with this I just don't know..'' He kept shaking his head as if to wake up from an aweful dream.

His mother patted his shoulder and then walked her husband back into the house, smiling hopefully back at Charlie. Charlie sighed and got up to walk around the factory and then he ran into Willy Wonka himself in mid stride.

''Oh Hello Charlie, How are you today my Sunshine.'' He said a bright grin plastered on his face.

''I'm fine.'' Charlie answered.

Wonka smiled and then said ''Hey do you want to go out to eat?'' Charlie noticed that even though he seemed perfectly happy there was a slight bit of anger in his eyes and the way he put most of his weight on his cane and stuck out his hip seemed like he wasn't to happy to see Charlie at all.

Charlie nodded and faked a smile to match wonka's.

They had a very private booth encircled with red silk and lace curtains it made Charlie alittle giddy, he felt like he was in a luxurious Indian palace.

Willy cleared his throat ''About that boyfriend thing, i'm sorry about being such a meany about it.''

''It's okay, My dad didn't take it well either.'' Charlie sighed out.

''You told them?'' Wille asked looking really interested.

''Yeah I told them I was gay and I'm going to introduce my boyfriend.'' Charlie said smiling happily.

Willy giggled and lied ''That's nice little Charlie..''

''I think I'm in love.'' Charlie said grinning.

''Now you need to lay off the chocolate.'' Wonka said rolling his eyes.

''No I swear I feel as if I really love him, why doesn't anyone understand!'' Charlie exclaimed becoming frustrated.

''Because most of the time teen love never works out. You just 'think' you're in love Charlie you'll get over him and break up in no time.'' Wonka said smiling.

''That's what you all tell yourselves to feel better. My dad jokes about it and you deny it altogether my mother is the only one that understands.''

''I just have one question. Did you sleep with him?'' Wonka asked taking a sip of wine.

''No b-but he did do some things to me...'' Charlie said blushing.

''There! Most of the time when teens get together for a long time or have sex or anything of that nature they get the feeling that they're in love-

''Would you stop trying to make it look like puppy love!'' Charlie yelled.

''No, because that's what it is.'' Wonka answered. Charlie only sighed and their waitress brought them their food and they ate in silence.

In the Inventing room

Charlie stood a good distance from Wonka and tried to come up with new ideas for candy.

''What do you think about rainbow pops that constanly change color!'' Wonka exclaimed.

Charlie shrugged ''Eh, it's okay I guess it'll look pretty cool.''

Wonka looked defeated and then felt anger boiling in the pit of his stomach. He decided to ignore Charlie's behavior and continue working on his candies.

Charlie sighed ''Wonka can I leave?''

Wonka looked up ''Hm, what happen to the Mr.''

Charlie rolled his eyes ''You don't have respect for me so why should i respect you?'' And with that Charlie walked out without another word.
