"My parents," he began slowly, "what will I say to them?"

Bankotsu seemed to understand. For years now, his aunt and uncle had been more than willing to let the family know of their suspicions on their son's sexuality. It wasn't anything that offended them, rather they were hurt that he couldn't tell them outright.

"Look Jak, Aunt Midori and Uncle Ben they care about you a lot. And yes, they might feel that you hid this from them but they'll understand. They care about you a lot and they love you. All they're waiting for is a sign for you to tell them you're ready to talk. Any maybe you should tell them before Christmas?"

Jakotsu flushed embarrassed at the last statement but sighed. His cousin did have a point, maybe he'd go visit his parents tomorrow.
