Standing in the middle of the room, Alan looked back at Daniel as he was lying on his bed in a gray t-shirt and navy pajama bottoms, an eyebrow raised in a rather puzzled fashion.

"Explain to me why I should prepare my pull-out sofa for you again?" Daniel asked as he rested back against his headboard, a pillow settled behind his back for support.

"Look... I'm just saying... in case your parents come home unexpectedly, I can just crawl out of your bed into that one. Besides, after what happened the last time I stayed over, it might be a wise move." Alan stated, a pleased grin on his face as he believed his idea to be foolproof. He crossed his arms in confidence as he wore a long sleeve white shirt and gray sweatpants, his glasses resting on his face.

Daniel stared back at him in silence, that same expression still resting on his face.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Alan asked, confused.

"My parents, especially my mother, are fully aware that we pretty much make out whenever you come over, Moogle." Daniel stated flatly, only to see Alan's face light up like a bright, red Christmas light. "Do you really think my parents don't know?"

"Look! I'm just... I... did they ask you any questions or...?" Alan stuttered out, averting his gaze entirely.

"Moogle... Alan... I've had a very long and detailed talk with my parents about my sexuality. While it was a little surprising to my father, he's accepted it without any judgement. We haven't told my older brother and sister yet, as they want me to tell them when we're all together again, which will be around the holidays. My mother, to our surprise, was pleased with it." Daniel responded, sitting up a bit and making his way towards the edge of the bed.

"Pleased?" Alan questioned, unsure if he heard that right. "Did... you say your mother was... pleased?"

"Yes, want to know why?" Daniel asked, swinging his feet over the side of the bed, so that he was sitting right on the edge while he watched Alan shake his head in denial. "Because, and I quote: 'I mean, I already knew you liked guys, Wombat. No boy kisses another boy and doesn't think anything of it...'" Alan snickered at that statement, seeing Daniel grin himself. "'That, and it means I don't have to worry about you screwing up or something crazy. It also means we don't have to deal with that curse ever again. It's only through one male in the bloodline and since it ended with you, that's what matters most. Also, Alan is adorable and you two make a handsome couple. The only thing I can give you advice on is to just take your time and enjoy your moments together. Don't rush into anything you both aren't ready to do.'"

Alan's entire face was barely visible as he listened to the last statement, the red on his face appearing at a rather high intensity.

"My dad made some joke about my mom being a huài nǚhái*(bad girl), and she punched him in the back." Daniel stated, seeing Alan frown. "Have you watched any anime?" He asked, seeing Alan nod. "He somewhat called her a fujoshi." Daniel followed up, hearing Alan cackle. "So, it's fine, Moogle. Besides, they were teenagers too. Granted, we don't have to worry about... babies... and stuff." Daniel added with a shrug, just to see Alan sigh in defeat. "So, come and lay with me in bed." he requested, reaching out to gently grab Alan's left hand and pull him over towards him.
