Mom, I think I'm dating a guy! (Private with 0rochi)

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris mumbled something angrily, then slowly moved his hands off his face to continue eating. However, he didn't toss a single glance at Arthur after that. He wasn't really mad... Just annoyed and embarrassed. When his boyfriend washed the dishes, the blond sighed and stood up, stretching a bit. He raised a brow at the question and huffed. "I have my own phone, y'know..." He mumbled out and put his hands on his hips. "And how did you even know?- Oh, wait, the summerhouse?" He asked with a huff. "If we are going to ask that, you're going to do that face-to-face!" He decided with a small pout. "I'm gonna ask her to get me home; okay?"

[0rochi]

"I'm not asking about the summerhouse,silly." he said with a chuckle. "Are you sure? I'm sure I can drive you home." he replied,still cheerful. He was kinda glad that Chris still thought about the summerhouse and him.. It made him so happy,and Chris made him so happy. He knew he shouldn't be so fast with his relationships,so he tried his best to keep slow for Chris.

Chris blinked and let out a quiet chuckle. "Fine, but then you're coming in to at least have some tea with her." He said and winked before turning around. "I left my wig upstairs..." He let out a sigh as he walked towards the stairs, humming softly. "Hey, Arthur... Can you treat me like a normal girl when I look like one anyway?" He asked timidly as he glanced at the other.

[0rochi]

"Of course,love." he said obediently,getting his shoes on and waiting for Chris to get ready. "Shall I still call you Chrissy,or Chris?" Arthur called,while Chris was still upstairs getting her wig. "I'm fine with either one!" he added,as he got his car keys. "Are you ready to go yet?" he called again.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris ran upstairs to grab his wig - seeing as his clothes were girly, he just put it on and grabbed his fake eyelashes, putting them safely into his pocket. "Now you're going to have to call me Chrissy!" He yelled back as he ran downstairs, got into his shoes and grinned - all like a girl now again. "Isn't it obvious?"

[0rochi]

Arthur nodded and smiled,chuckling as he kissed her cheek and took her hand. "Then let's go,Chrissy." he said,grinning from ear to ear as he adjusted his glasses,heading out to his nice car,and opening the door for her,to get in. He then got in on the other side,and strapped in his seatbelt. "I had a lot of fun today. But we need to do more studying tomorrow to catch up!" he said,chuckling softly.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chrissy smiled softly as she followed her boyfriend, her steps gracefull and light. As she sat down in the car and buckled up, her smile widened and she nodded. "I had fun too~ But... You're right. Guess we're going to be back to math!" She said with a quiet laugh as she crossed her legs and closed her eyes. "Hey... Let's take a walk in the forest sometime." She offered with a soft smile.

[0rochi]

"Sure,that would be nice." he replied,smiling as they soon arrived at the house. He hugged Chrissy in the car,and got out with her,talking to her mother for a while. "Your daughter is very talented,and I'm sure she'll improve in her grades." he said,smiling.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Once they reached home, Chrissy almost dragged Arthur inside, where her mom was sitting. "Mom~!" She called happily, holding the man's hand. A soft sigh left the woman's mouth as she stood up and walked towards them. "His name is Chris, not Chrissy." She said and tugged the blonde away. Pulling off the wig, Chris' mom looked pretty angry. "How long do you intend on playing around like this? You're a boy, act like one!"

[0rochi]

" Mrs. Huck! Please calm down. As your son,you are supposed to love him no matter what he does. Chrissy,you're staying with me tonight." he declared,as he grabbed the wig and pulled Chris away from his mother. "Until you learn to treat him with respect,I'll be keeping him." he said,as he went out the door again,dragging Chris out this time. "You did not tell me your mother was so verbally abusive,Chrissy. But,would you like to stay with me for a few days? I got really angry in the moment,but I want you to decide. Just for a few days." he assured him. "You don't need to pack anything,since I've already bought you some new clothes." he said.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris seemed to be a bit shocked. He didn't do anything until he was dragged out. The blond grabbed his wig back, tears in his eyes as he pushed Arthur away. "That's my mom!" He said with a frown and a trembling lower lip. "I don't want to live with you! Not... Not yet, at least!" He said with tears in his eyes as he turned away. "I'm perfectly fine here." His mother slowly came to them both, her eyes cold. "Don't take my son away." She said simply and gripped Chris' arm. "Go and wash up, then I want to talk to you." She said, and the boy quickly obeyed. Her cold gaze turned to Arthur afterwards. "I only want best for him. Would you mind coming in?" She asked in a voice that clearly showed she wouldn't take no for an answer.

[0rochi]

Arthur nodded obediently as well,as he came in. "I-I apologize for my behavior,I.." he stuttered out,unable to speak as he went in the house,so worried that his mother wouldn't let Chris and himself be around each other anymore.Arthur made sure to take deep breaths,as he waited on his mother's response.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris' mom pursed her lips and showed Arthur into the living room. She crossed her arms as she sat down on an armchair, frowning. "You were supposed to be just a tutor." She said firmly, her eyes cold. "Please sit down and explain your relationship with my son." She asked quietly, making sure to stress the word son. Chris was a boy, with some weird fetish in his mother's eyes.

[0rochi]

Arthur nodded obediently and sat down. "I apologize for my behavior,Mrs. Huck. I have strong feelings toward your son,and I've asked him if he'd like to be in a relationship with me. I was going to ask permission of you today to date your son,but I apologize for being so rude." he explained,adjusting his glasses.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris' mom narrowed her eyes slightly as she listened to Arthur. "Did you not see what he does in his free time?" She questioned coldly. "If you're going to be in a relationship, make him stop that riddiculous fetish... And make sure it doesn't get in the way of his learning." She said with a frown. "I didn't raise my son to be like this." Just then, Chris himself walked into the living room. His hair was damp after the shower and he was wearing boy clothes. Quietly, he sat down next to his boyfriend and looked away. He seemed like he was very uncomfortable.

[0rochi]

"I know you haven't raised your son to be like this. It's his body,and it's his right,so I have no right to stop him from doing anything. As a mother,you're supposed to love him no matter what he decides to be." he replied. "At least he's not out on the streets and stealing from stores and drinking with his friends. This is a small case,compared to what he could be doing." he explained. "Of course,it will not get in the way of his education,Mrs. Huck."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris felt as if he could've taken a longer shower. The ir around them felt heavy... As his mother and boyfriend talked about him,he felt like it was just getting harder and harder to breathe. While his mom began ranting about how it was unhealthy, he bit down on his lip. "Mom..." No response. "Mom." Still no response. "Mom, do you ever listen to me?!" He finally yelled out, successfully shutting her up. "I don't want to be a guy forever, and I don't want to be a girl forever. Is it that hard to accept?.." He asked quietly, unconsciously shifting closer to Arthur in fear.

[0rochi]

"A little overboard." he whispered to Chris,patting his back. "It isn't unhealthy at all. If a woman can do it,a man can do it." Arthur said. "I'm sorry for my rudeness, Mrs. Huck,but I don't think it's right for you to disapprove of your son's choices,unless he's doing something actually harmful. He's not hurting anyone,and he's not hurting himself. So you shouldn't care."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris bit down on his quivering lower lip as his hand found Arthur's and lightly squeezed it. The woman, however, still looked angry. "A boy his age shouldn't be dressing as a girl. I've tried to tolerate it... I hoped it was just a phase." She said in a tone that made her seem like the one being hurt. Chris seemed like something snapped inside at those words. "Tolerate it? You refused to let me leave the house if I looked feminine. You refused to buy me women's clothing. You refused to call me Chrissy." He said,each time louder. "You didn't even try to accept this!" He yelled out, tears gathering in his eyes.

[0rochi]

Arthur wasn't sure of hat to do in this situation. He couldn't leave,since his hand was being squeezed ever so tightly,but he felt the room become slightly colder. "U-Uh.. All I'm saying is,could you please keep your hate of it to yourself,and let him do what he wishes,Mrs. Huck? It's not as big of a deal as you think it is." he said,trying to be as polite as possible with his words.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris' mom seemed as if she would burst in anger any moment. "You've known my son for less than a month. What do you even know about him?!" She asked in a cold voice before turning to Chris, her eyes still cold. "My job as a mother is to make sure everything is the best for you, so-" "So why the hell won't you accept this?" The boy interrupted her, tightly gripping Arthur's hand.

[0rochi]

Arthur felt light-headed,as if he was going to pass out at any moment,but he still managed to get some words out. "I know that it's best for him to express who he really is! And if you can't accept that,you're quite the bad parent." he said,looking up at the ceiling,nervous as ever.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

What Arthur said finally effectively shut Chris' mom up. Her anger was either growing more or disappearing completely - she just stood up and walked away, slamming the bedroom door after her. Chris' grip on his boyfriend's hand then slowly loosened as his eyes filled up with tears that slowly began falling. If his mother couldn't accept him, how could others do that?

[0rochi]

Arthur hugged Chris tight and kissed his cheek,trying to calm him down. "I'm sorry,love.. I've tried my best.. Are you sure you wouldn't like to stay the night with me?" he whispered in Chris's ear,kissing away his tears,yet still feeling lightheaded. Arthur now felt like his relationship with Chris was ruined,and he felt as if it was all his fault,as some tears of his own ran down his cheeks.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Chris hugged back just as tight, burrying his face into Arthur's mouth as he began crying. His arms only tightened around his body as he shook his head lightly and pulled away a bit, sniffling softly. "...Can't you stay here with me instead?.." He asked softly, his voice a bit shaky from the tears. He hated this feeling. He hated not being accepted by his own mother. "Please..." The blond added as he moved closer, lightly kissing off the tears from Arthur's cheeks. If they could get through this together...
