Age: 15

You entered through the front door after an exhausting 8 hours of school.
You exhaled heavily as you dropped your bag on the ground, you heard James in the kitchen, seemingly cooking up some dinner

"Hey sweetie, how was school?"

James chirped as he spun around, a happy grin on his face after realising you were home from school.
You ignored him, walking straight past him and straight up the stairs to your room and entering it with a slam of the bedroom door.

"Hey-...birdie....?"

James called, almost to himself as you didn't respond to his call.
He turned the stove down and travelled up the stairs to your room, knocking on the door

"Hey...can I come in?"

He questioned through the door, getting a mere mumbled that signified a yes.
He strolled in the room with mild concern brewing up in the pit of his stomach as he was met with you face down on your bed, your face stuffed into your pillow.

James sighed, confusion being taken over by the full concern that was previously brewing in his stomach like a potion.

"What's up, birdie?"

He asked as he carefully sat down on the edge of your bed, observing you, his voiced laced with the usual calm and delicate tone, it almost pained you more as you heard the nickname he called you, It was your name for him.
You sighed and sat up, looking over at him before staring down at your feet. You fiddled with your hands out of nervousness and slight fear, James could practically feel the radiation of anxiety you were giving off.

"...i-...i need to tell you something dad.."

You started off, your voice trembling with regret and anxiousness.
James gave you a worried look, taking a mental note on your body language that clearly wasn't normal for you.

"Mhm?"

He etched you to continue your talk, but his hum wasn't forceful, it was steady and calm.

"...I don't know how you'd react-...and..I'm..I'm sorry.."

Your voice trembled and you felt tears pricking in your eyes, you attempted to push the guilty feeling down as you swallowed the lump in your throat.

"...i-... I'm gay I'm so sorry..I'm sorry."

You uttered out, almost so quietly it was practically a whisper.
James' face dropped, not into a harsh or angry look, but a comforting look. A warm and gentle smile creeped up onto his face as he inched closer, wrapping you in a tight hug.

"Oh birdie..."

He whispered as he held you, he felt the dampening of his shirt as he realised you were probably crying.

"It's not wrong, you don't need to apologise at all, there's nothing to be sorry for...you understand? It's totally okay to like whoever you want, despite if it's a girl, boy or even both, it's not wrong, it's not wrong at all."

He comforted, combing through your hair with his fingers in a calm and relaxed manner.

"...do you still--"

You paused, letting out a shaky breath with for face still pressed into his chest.

"Do you still... Love me...?"

James paused as you uttered the sentence, he let out a small chuckle that wasn't at all harsh or mocking.

"Do I still love you? Oh birdie.. of course I do. Why wouldn't I? You're still my child, nothing about you has changed in this 10 minutes, theres nothing to worry about. I still love you, I promise you, bird."

He spoke, resting his chin on the top of your head as he rubbed gentle circles on your back to calm you down.
There was a chilled silence that filled the room, he gently pulled you away and saw that you'd fallen asleep in his arms, he smiled and carefully layed you down in your bed, covering you with the blanket. He went to leave.

"Night, birdie."

He whispered before flipping the light off and closing your door.
