Kyle's POV

I woke up early this morning, it was a Saturday. I needed to make a good empression on my parents so maybe the 'coming out situation' would be a little easier. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and didn't even attempt to tame my hair ain't no time for that.

"Kyle?" My mother's voice startled me as my back was to her and I was occupied preparing a breakfast for them in the kitchen. "Mom! Darn it, I was going to surprise you with a breakfast in bed." She made an 'oh' shape with her mouth then smiled. "This is suspicious" she said I shook my head and smiled nervously. "No mom, I just.." I sighed. "Can I talk to you and Dad at breakfast? It's really important."
Her expression went sympathetic "Of course dear, your father will be down soon." I smiled and nodded.

Kenny's POV

When I opened my eyes Karen was still in my arms, I had fallen asleep against the wall. My dad's pick up was gone i assumed he'd gone drinking last night and crashed wherever the hell he crashes. I pulled my hood down and carefully scooped Karen out of my coat, she was a pretty heavy sleeper. I layed her on my mattress and draped a knit blanket over her.
Just then I spotted my mother leaning against the door frame with a tired smile. "Hi mom." I whispered. " your better with her than I am." I shrugged. "I'm sorry sweetheart." She said suddenly I looked at her but didn't say anything. "For everything.." she added, I sighed deeply. A empty apology doesn't make up for the abuse and absent parenting. She could leave but she won't.
It wasn't worth fighting with her now, Carol never wanted kids, she never wanted to marry, she never wanted to stay in South Park. I get that she didn't sign up for any of this, but why did I have to be the parent for her? "It's whatever mom."
Despite my anger and Carol not really being a parent to me, I trusted her with whatever trust I had left. Especially if she's feeling guilty like she should repay me today. Here goes nothin' "Mom?" She looked at me. "Do you love me?" She gasped a little loudly then hugged me quickly. "Of course Kenny!"
I inhaled "Well I'm gay mom, so do you still love me...?" It seemed as if the room, the block, the world had gone completely silent.  I nearly cried but then I felt my mother kiss my forehead. "Of course Kenny." I exhaled oh thank god. "Mom? Please don't tell dad... I wanna do it myself." She nodded and kept hugging me for a moment I felt safe in my mother's arms. Just for a moment.

Kyle's POV

The room was silent and my parents had just finished there meals. I was so very nurvous. "Kyle what is this about?" My dad asked, god this is so hard... Okay just say it Kyle you got this.

"Okay... So you guys know Kenny yea?" Its a start I guess. "Oh yeah the orange Parka kid?" My dad said "Yea... well uhm..... he's my...-" my mom was growing impatient. "Spit it out honey-" I flinched.
"Im gay and Kenny's my boyfriend-" my palms were clamy and I felt my heart pounding against my rib cage. I tried to breathe bracing for there response.
My parents both looked a bit surprised but they wernt angry. "Oh Kyle that's fine!" My mom stood and wrapped her arms around me.

My dad stood along with her "Yea I mean why do people make a big deal out of this stuff anyway? Kyle we love you no matter what buddy." he hugged me as well. "Thanks guys.." there was a peaceful sort of happy silence for a moment until my mom broke it. "When Kenny comes over keep the door open." They laughed as my face immediately flushed red. "I'm-.."
