I decided to approach her today about the whole are-you-bi thing, and everything has been settled. I sat her down, and this is kinda how it went.
Me: Lilli, we need to have a serious discussion.
Lilli: About what Big Brother?
Me: About you and your friends.
Lilli: I don't care if you like them. They are my friends and that will not change.
Me: Hey I'm not saying that! This is about...well, mostly you and Eliza and...Natalya.
Lilli: Why are we discussing Hungary and Belarus, Big Brother?
Me: *gets slightly flustered* Well, Sister, I...erm...looked into that whole, uh, Yuri thing. You know, that you refused to tell me about.
Lilli: Big Brother that's none of your business! Eliza and I were just talking! Stay out of this!
Me: Lilli, do not pick an attitude with me. I just want to talk about this.
Lilli: There's nothing to talk about.
Me: You can tell me anything, Lilli.
Lilli: There. Is. Nothing. To. Discuss.
Me: I would never judge you...or hate you...especially not for something that you cannot control.
Lilli: Big Brother, what are you implying? *Beginning to sound nervous*
Me: Look, Lilli, Gay, Lesbian Bi, Pansexual, Polysexual, Asexual, Straight, WHATEVER. I'd never judge you.
Lilli: ...oh...?
Me: I really do not care. You know that. I'm not big on labels but I'm no straight guy. I've been through much worse than my sister stepping out of the fucking closet or whatever they call it.
Lilli: So, if I came out, no judgement?
Me: You'd have some questions to answer.
Lilli: Well, what if I really don't know what I am?
-Break for a second. You see that? My wonderful sister doesn't know what she fits under. She's telling me something that I honestly don't care about but this 1. Explains everything that's been going on lately and 2. Helps me know that she trusts me.
Anyway:
Me: Then we can talk about this. I'll have questions that you can answer and you'll have questions I can try to answer and we can work this all out.
Lilli: Okay.
Me: Do you like boys at all?
Lilli: ...Yes.
Me: *Not gonna lie, I rolled my eyes* Lilli, it's okay. I don't mind that you're...attracted to people. I can handle this.
Lilli: *smiles relieved*
Me: And do you like girls?
*Lilli nods* Me: See? This is cool. So you're not lesbian, straight, or asexual.
Lilli: What's polysexual?
Me: You...you...Hmm...you don't mind gender but you have preferences.
Lilli: Isn't that bisexual?
Me: Heh, well, there's no black and white when it comes to gender. Bisexual is when you date boys and girls. Pansexual is you date any gender and have absolutely no preference.
Lilli: ...but I'm confused. Aren't they the same thing? You prefer both, which is all. I mean, the preference I see the difference, but...any way you see it, you date both genders.
Me: Lilli, some people don't fit gender identities very well. There's intersex which is like a third gender ruling, there's transsexual, people who don't identify with any, or with both...it's a spectrum. Bisexual is when you date boys and girls, nothing else. Pansexual is when you date anyone, ANYONE.
Lilli: ...And this polysexual, that's when you'd date all but prefer certain categories, ja?
Me: Ja.
Lilli: ...I think...I have found my category.
Me: Ah, and what is that, Sister?
Lilli: Polysexuality.
Me: That's perfectly acceptable. *smiles*
Lilli: Thank you Big Brother...I feel much better now.
Me: And, anything else? *knows*
Lilli: ...You know about Natalya and I, don't you?
Me: Ja, but I needed to know for certain. We'll discuss this all later.
Lilli: Thanks, Brother.
-Okay. See that? I'm a good big brother, right? I sat down and had a logical, rational, heart-to-heart with my sister while we both officially came out of the closet. Hm, what a family moment.
I love my sister very much. So much that you can't comprehend. We have our downfalls, our upsides, our fights and our ugly times, but I'd kill, die, sell my soul to Satan, whatever...for her.
And, what the Hell, I'll tell you the rest of the truth,
I'd do it for Roderich too.
Thanks everyone. Bye, for now!
Hope you all enjoyed this first one! Do you think there should be a sequel? TELL ME!
I had a blast writing it! Thanks for wonderful readers, reviewers, followers. You all rock!
