Chapter 7
Early the next morning Sora woke up and the events of last night came to his mind. "I love Riku!" he shouted. "YEAH! RIKU'S MY BOYFRIEND!" Sora didn't realize that his parents hadn't left for work yet. There was a knock at his door.
"Sora?" his mother's voice called. "Sora honey can I come in?"
"Shit!" Sora cursed to himself. "Uh yeah mom you can come in!" he said cheerfully. The door opened and Sora's mother walked in. "Sora where were you last night." She gently demanded. "I came in to check on you and you weren't here. did you just say Riku is your boyfriend? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Um, No mom. I'm fine." Sora said shifting uncomfortably.
"I see. Lets go talk to your father." Sora's mother said sternly. Sora followed her down into the living room.
In the living room Sora sat down on the couch in front of his father who was reading the newspaper. "What is it S-?" His father asked.
"Sora would like to talk to you about something." Sora's mother interjected.
"Dad Riku is my boyfriend!" Sora exclaimed.
"So?" Sora's father asked. "My brother's gay it doesn't bother me. Sora listen its your life, If Riku being your boyfriend makes you happy, then GO FOR IT SON!" he looked at his wife. "Now what is the problem honey?"
"There is no problem, I just didn't know if you'd approve of Sora's relationship. Hes only 15." Sora's mother argued.
"And a very mature 15 at that!" Sora's father declared. "Sora will do the right thing. Let him be him! Go on Sora get out of here!."
"Thanks dad!" Sora cried. "He went outside and headed to Riku's house. ***
It was early morning, Riku was just waking up, His father came into his room and pulled his shades up. "Time to get up Riku, Sora's on his way over. He called and said he'd be here in twenty minutes. You know, you haven't been hanging out with him at all lately, why not?"
"I don't know dad." Riku answered deceitfully. "Dad do you know anyone who is gay?"
"Why of course Riku, I have lots of friends from college who are, my best friend is." Riku's father answered.
"Does it bother you?" The silver haired boy asked.
"Not one bit." The older man said. "Why?"
"Dad, I like Sora, hes my boyfriend." Riku blurted out.
"Alright that's fine. Just so long as you're happy, I think very highly of Sora. He wont ever hurt you. He's a fine young gentleman. So whatever you want, do it, your 16 years old, I won't stop you."
"So your not disgusted?" Riku asked.
"Not at all son. Its your sexuality, your not a different person!" Riku's father said.
"Thanks!" Riku said. There was a knock at the door. Riku went downstairs to answer it. Sora stood there in his pajamas.
