Ooooh 3 days in a row holy moly! Next Prompt is Twinkle (300 words exactly!) So it'll be the shortest!
Allen honestly hated his entire family, they were crazy and almost borderline insane. So, that's why he slept in a couple hours in hopes that he wouldn't have to go, but soon he realized that wasn't going to happen. His father woke him up thirty minutes before they had to go, and Allen groaned. He would not survive today, Neah his Uncle was going to be there, and he absolutely hated how annoying the man was. He was more immature than Allen himself, who was seventeen. He dragged himself out of bed with a defeated sigh and rubbed his eyes, his father had left his room as soon as Allen had woken up. Allen headed over to his small closet and threw on something half decent before slipping on some shoes, and heading down to the kitchen, where his father was making eggs. He glared at his father's back as the man made his breakfast, who really went to family reunions anymore? Everyone had political views and were surely going to go against each other about the others views. Adam and Neah especially chewed each other out over their views of sexuality. Adam had always been against LGBT+ rights and Neah was the exact opposite, probably because he figured out his nephew was gay. Neah had a sixth sense about that, but he had never said anything to the family about Allen's sexuality, and he hoped it stayed that way. Neah was probably one of the most accepting people in his entire family. "Quit glaring at me Allen," his old man said gruffly, setting out of a plate of eggs on the table in front of him. "You know you have to go." Allen rolled his eyes at his father.
"Come oooooooon." Allen pleaded, he absolutely did not want to be there. He locked eyes with his father, "Please don't make me go." His father ignored his request and sat across the table from him and began to eat the eggs he made, whilst Allen had already finished his. Allen didn't want to go to the scream feast they called a reunion. He wanted to hang out at Lenalee's pool with Lavi, Lenalee, and Kanda. He didn't want to be stuck at a family reunion. While he was on the subject he grabbed his phone from out of his pocket and texted them about how stupid this reunion wad going to be. 'Man I wanna meet your family, take me pls?' Lavi replied, but Allen had to refuse, most of his family didn't know he was gay and if he took his redheaded friend Lavi would tell them in a heartbeat. He could probably take Kanda, but he didn't want him to see how crazy his family could get, so he pushed the thought away. Allen wouldn't bring anyone, like usual. He'd probably end up texting them the entire time he was there anyway, so it made no difference to him. He leaned back in his chair and told them just that as his father finished up his eggs. The man put his dish in the sink and the two of them got in the car and drove to Neah's house where the reunions were usually held. As they pulled in the driveway Allen realized they must be a little late. There already five cars parked along the street. Allen plastered a pleasant smile on his face as he got out of the car and walked inside.
It was almost completely quiet as they walked into the dining room where they were eating. Everyone looked up when Allen and his father walked in. It was a bit awkward as the two sat down and avoided eye contact with anyone. Making eye contact in this family meant you became part of a discussion, and discussions in this family involved a lot of screaming. Allen got comfortable in his chair and began to text Kanda about how awkward it was. 'They are literally sitting here in complete silence, I wish I was at your house. Or better yet dead...' He told him. Usually at least one person here would be talking about their day, trying to make pleasant conversation before everything hit the fan, but no, no one was talking. It was out of the ordinary until Neah spoke up. Allen silently begged to every god from every religion that Neah didn't to talk to him, because once Neah opened his mouth Adam was bound to say something offensive or start insulting Neah. It was horrible to watch the two yell, ordinary families also had their conflict, but that didn't involve throwing food at each other, or throwing eating utensils. It was chaos at reunions for Neah and Adam. Allen couldn't comprehend why the two couldn't just stay quiet about their opinions, like the rest of their family. "So, Allen how's your summer so far?" Neah asked, and Allen looked up from his phone sighing. Maybe it was just unavoidable.
Allen smiled and thought about what to say, "It's great...uncle," Allen replied shortly, leaving no room for an argument to occur. He looked back at his phone and smiled and shook his head at Kanda's reply. 'Well when it's over maybe you can come over and watch a movie?' Now that Allen was free of the conversation he texted Kanda back happily. 'God i can't wait.' Then they went into a conversation about what movie they were going to watch. Allen had suggested Spirited Away, and Kanda wanted to watch the new Ghost in The Shell live action movie he had bought a few days ago. After a couple of other suggestions, they finally agreed to watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them. He loved that movie with a burning passion, Newt for one was the cutest thing on the planet, but not as cute his boyfriend Kanda. Adam had joined the conversation and it was shockingly a normal conversation with Neah. Allen almost choked on his Diet Coke. Maybe this reunion wouldn't be half bad, but Allen was poorly mistaken as Adam asked him a question.
"Who are you texting? A girlfriend?" Adam asked hopefully, but Allen shook his head and told him that he had no girlfriend. Adam could be nerve-wracking sometimes. "A boyfriend then?" Adam proposed, and Allen's heart squeezed in his chest. He shook his head again and put his phone in his pocket to avoid leaving it out in the open for anyone to take. Adam nodded approvingly and glared at Neah. 'Oh god, here we go... again.' Allen thought to himself, as Neah glared back. Neah opened his mouth to speak and took a deep breath. This room was about o become very dangerous for everyone in it, and Allen contemplated locking himself in the bathroom until this whole reunion was over. But his father would scold him for that.
"See? Allen isn't gay." Adam told Neah with a sneer. Adam had no idea how wrong he really was, Allen hoped Neah didn't spill the beans to him though. Who knows what would happen if everyone found him out, he'd probably be grounded for six months for it, even if it wasn't his fault who he loved. Neah scoffed and gave Allen a knowing look, which Allen pretended not to understand. Neah gave him an apologetic look and Allen's eyes widened, Neah was going to tell Adam that Allen was in fact, gay in front of the entire family. He gave Neah a warning look, Allen would not hesitate to stab him with his fork, right here, right now. What his uncle said was not what Allen expected though, and he let out a breath of relief. "What does Allen's sexuality have to do with this?" Neah asked. "Gay and straight people are exactly the same, they are still human no matter who they love Adam, how come you can't understand that?" Allen smiled, Neah was really good at preaching his opinion, Allen was proud of his Uncle for standing up for what he believed in no matter what, while Allen was sitting here terrified to voice his opinion. Adam honestly needed to catch up with the times, society was slowly changing for the better and more people were being accepted.
"It's a sin!" Adam shouted, gripping his fork furiously, "It's disgusting and a mockery to this family and anyone who is gay!" Allen pressed his lips together and formed a thin line to hide his growing rage. Neah threw his hands in the air and gave Adam a displeased expression, sometimes Allen thought that Neah truly hated Adam and vice versa. The two never stopped fighting, and being at each other's throats over everything. Allen shook his head as the argument heated up and progressively got worse, he hoped that this would be over quickly.
"Adam, I can't believe how stupid you are, jus shut up if that's the only argument you're going to give me," Neah said rubbing his forehead with an annoyed sigh. "Gay people don't even directly affect you. At all," Neah seemed pretty mad right about now, and Allen had never seen Neah mad. "You need to watch what you say, Adam, someone in this very room could be gay." Allen couldn't agree more, he was feeling pretty offended by Adam's comment. "Gay people will go to Hell, and so will you for defending them." Allen got up from his seat and headed to the kitchen to search for something sweet to eat when Neah asked him where he was going. Allen thought about going Tumblr by saying, 'i'm going to hell.' Everyone turned to look at Allen, and his eyes widened with dread. "Did I just say that out loud?"
Adams jaw dropped and he started to shout, "YOUR GAY?!" He seemed furious as he slammed his hand on the table. Neah was at his side to his rescue immediately. Allen was absolutely lost for words and shocked at his own outburst. Allen couldn't believe he just outed himself to his whole family. There was no going back now. "Yes!" He told Adam, feeling a little nervous, "I'm gay, and I have an amazing boyfriend and we do couple things, and I love him." It felt so good to say it out loud to his family, but it made Adam even angrier. Allen didn't care. "I may be going to hell but you'll be right there next to me because you're such an ass." He told his relative, but Allen was no longer interested in staying long enough to get yelled at and rejected by his father. He left Neah's house as fast as he feet could carry him and called Kanda to come pick him up.
When Kanda finally showed up Allen told him what happened as they watched Fantastic Beasts. "Are your family reunions always like this?" Kanda asked, popping some pieces of popcorn in his mouth. Allen nodded and put his head on Kanda's shoulder. "You should be there during Thanksgiving, it's even worse," Allen told him, even his father refused to go to Thanksgiving. Later in the afternoon, his father texted him. 'Best reunion ever!'
So, did you enjoy? I enjoyed it too much and went a little overboard! RxR love you!
