Michael sat at the counter in his kitchen, watching Mom make breakfast. He was wearing his new usually outfit still, and he could tell that neither of his moms really approved of it. He didn't either, but he couldn't fight the SQUIP. He rested his head on the table and let out a tired sigh.
"How did yesterday go with Jeremy?" his Mom asked. He looked up at her, and sighed.
"It went great," he replied, voice laced in sarcasm.
"Oh, kiddo, what happened?" Michael groaned, and buried his face in his hands.
"Well, it went normal at first. We were, uh-"
"You were high. Just say it kiddo. We know," she told him. "We don't approve, but we would rather know you do it then you do it behind our backs." She muttered the last part under her breath while turning back to the pancakes, but Michael heard it and felt guilty. He knew that was how his moms felt, but he felt bad whenever they talked about it.
"Yeah, we were pretty high," Michael admitted. "We were trying to play videogames, and I spaced out a bit. Jeremy shook me out of it, but when I came to he was on my lap, and honestly I'm not sure what really happened. All I know is we ended up-" His mom whipped around suddenly, eyes wide.
"You didn't have sex did you?!" Michael shot up and blushed, surprised his mom would ask that. "Oh god, you did didn't you?! You used protection, right? You know you aren't exactly a, ah, 'normal' case-"
"Mom! No! I'm a 17 year old trans boy who hasn't had any surgery! I'm not comfortable with my own body, I'm not going to let anyone see me! And we just kissed!" Michael was going on, and his blush only deepened. "And then he ran away," Michael finished. His mom let out a long sigh, thankful her child was so amazing.
"Okay. You kissed. That's good right?"
"Well, I thought so too. Before he ran out of the house and just-"
"What's with all the yelling?" Michael turned to the doorframe that connected the kitchen and living room.
"Hey Mama," Michael's mom said, smiling. Michael's mama walked over to Alice, who was still working on the pancakes, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Don't forget your meeting me for lunch today," Robin told the other woman. Alice nodded. "Now, what's all of this yelling?"
"Michael ki-"
"MOM!"
"He did what?" Robin demanded, turning to Michael. "What did you and Jeremy do last night? I swear to God if you broke any of the ru-" An alarm went off, and Robin frowned. "I have to go, but don't think we aren't going to talk about all of this later. Bye Michael. Bye Alice."
"Wait, you aren't staying for family breakfast?" Alice asked, looking disappointed.
"Sorry dear, but I have a meeting today. I'll see you at lunch."
"Bye, love," Alice called after her wife as Robin grabbed her purse and walked out of the door. Alice's face fell for a second, before she turned back to the breakfast. Michael noticed it though.
"Are you two doing okay?" Michael asked.
"We're fine, kiddo. Don't worry about us." Michael knew that she knew that he knew that she was lying, but neither of them said anything about it. "Anyways, continue your story!"
"Oh, he just straight up left. Like, said he was sorry and ran." Michael wanted to push the first subject, but didn't want his mom to get mad, so just finished his story.
"Well, he probably thought you were mad. Hadn't he always identified as straight? And he knew you were gay. He might have freaked out," Alice suggested.
"Yeah. He has always claimed he was straight. Maybe he's bi, like Mama."
"Maybe," Alice agreed. She grabbed a plate and put a few pancakes on it. "Well, we can talk about this later with Mama. Now eat up! I made enough for three, so we gotta eat a lot!"
Jeremy had only agreed to it this morning, and his SQUIP was already forcing him to go see one of Michael's moms. It's not like he didn't want to, but not this soon! He wanted some time to think. But his SQUIP was having none of that. No, he had to go see one of them right away. And that's the story of how he ended up standing in front of Robin's work place before school started. He had wanted to go to Alice, but he figured Michael was still at home and didn't want to run into the other. Plus, Robin was bisexual, so she might be more helpful.
'Stop stalling and go in, Jeremy.'
'What if she gets mad that I kissed her son?'
'She'll be glad you came to her about all of this then.'
'Yeah, but what if-'
'Just go in Jeremy.'
Jeremy sighed before obeying, deciding to just not fight it right now. He really wasn't feeling it today. Plus, he had to save his energy for what was about to happen. He walked up to the front desk, slouching as he walked. A small shock went through him and he jumped, immediately fixing his posture. He tried to look confident as he walked up to the desk, but was sure he was failing.
"Hello, I'm here to see Robin Mell." The receptionist gave him a dirty look before glancing back at his computer.
"Do you have an appointment, kid?" Jeremy scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Uh, no, but I'm really close friends with her son and I need to talk to her about-"
"No appointment no visit. I apologize."
"But I have to-"
"No."
"This is impor-"
"Go before I call security on you."
"But I have to-"
"Jeremy?" Jeremy looked over to the voice calling his name, and saw Robin walking down the hall towards them. "What are you doing here? I only just arrived a few minutes ago myself."
"Oh, I need to talk to-"
"Ma'am, he doesn't have an appointment."
"It's alright, Enrique. Jeremy, come with me. We can chat in my office." Jeremy nodded, and followed her back down the hallway she had appeared from. He wanted to turn back and give the receptionist a dirty look, but decided to be nice and just keep walking. Robin lead him to an office near the back, and opened the door so he could walk in. He did, and took a seat across from the ladies desk. "So, Jeremy," she said while sitting down herself. "What do you need?" Jeremy waited for his SQUIP to speak up, but it never did. He guessed he was on his own for this one.
"Well, I figured you're the only person I know who can help me figure this thing I'm having out and I just-"
"As people say, 'spit it out' Jeremy."
"I think I'm having feelings for someone." Robin raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow at him.
"And you came to me for that because...?"
"It's a guy. And I've never ever felt this way toward a guy." Robin leaned back in her chair, gazing down at Jeremy.
"Alright, I can kind of see now. You want to figure out if this is real. Please continue."
"Well, uh, I don't know how to start. They make me feel really happy when I'm around them, and butterflies in my stomach when I'm near him. I can't help but notice every detail about him, and worry when he isn't being himself." Jeremy stopped, and reigned his mind back in. He was ranting again. "But I've never felt like this towards another guy, and I already have a crush on a girl right now!"
"Well, that doesn't mean anything. You can have multiple crushes at the same time," Robin countered. "Look, I'm not good at this kind of thing. Alice is great at it. Maybe you should go talk to her?"
"I would have, but I didn't want to show up when-" he cut himself off, not wanting to give his- okay he'll admit it- secret crush away. Robin narrowed her eyes.
"Jeremy, why didn't you go to Alice." When Jeremy didn't answer, she tried again. "Jeremy, would you mind telling me who this is all about?"
"I... uh..."
"Jeremy."
"It's Michael! I think I'm in love with Michael!" He had spit it out so quickly he hadn't even thought of how he'd said it till Robin brought it up.
"Did you say you think you are in love with my son?"
Yep, that's where this is being left off! It will be continued into the next chapter, I promise. But anyways, please enjoy! I love Alice and Michael's relationship! And again, if you have any questions thoughts or concerns, I love to hear them! See you next time, guys, gals, and non-binary pals! Peace out! (if you get that reference I love you)
