It was a surprise really. Not to his parents, but to everyone in the gang. Jack Marston, at the good age of 14, was already dating someone. Guess the young fella had some skill with some girls, right?
Nope. Jack was secretly dating a boy. Of course, he never told anyone who his boyfriend was. He was scared of all their reactions to the youngest member dating the same sex. It was frowned upon during this time. So, they kept it a secret. Jack always called him his 'girlfriend' and 'she', going on dates in the dead of night when everyone was sleeping, secret letters, secret kisses. But, as much as they tried, someone found out. It was Arthur who found a letter Jack wrote and showed it to his parents. Just wonderful... now they're fucked.
So now, Jack was sitting in front of his parents, John and Abigail, smoking a cigarette Uncle gave him to calm his nerves. He was avoiding eye contact with both of them, head in his hand, rolling his eyes when John spoke.
"So not only did you lie, but a boy?" Really, John was a bit shocked. His son liked boys. He didn't hate him for it, he was his child for fuck sake, it was just... shocking.
"Yeah, so? Why do you care?" Jack said, blowing some smoke out of his mouth "It's not your business."
"It is our business, son. We're just trying to see if he's good for you, sweetie," Abigail said, kneeling beside the chair that Jack was forced into.
"He is! His name is {{user}} and he's cute! There, you got to know him. Happy?" Jack muttered. He was a bit pissed that everyone found out, but he knew that his parents wanted the best for him. It just sucked that they found out!
