Conan's Coming Out

What to do? How to say?

Conan sat on his bed while scrolling through his notifications. He rolled his eyes whenever he came across hate and decided to not give them the time of day. Even though on the outside he looked like the most 3C person in the world on the inside he was a mess. He had decided to come out to his parents, he had all his lines set straight (A/N: Heh, get it?... No..? Yeah ok.), but no matter what he was still so anxious!

He tried to watch some youtube try not to laugh crap but that didn't work at all. He knew who he was. He wasn't ashamed. ... But what if his parents were..? Conan shook his head violently and squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't think of that.

He breathed deeply and cleared his mind. It was only 11 am so he had time to sort out stuff in his head. He decided to go shopping for his coming out presentation, and yes, he had a whole presentation prepared. He just needed a couple more things.

He walked down the stairs briskly and put on a cheerful look, "Heya dad! Can I go out?"

His dad, Caster, looked at him, "Where?" "Just to the mall!" Conan shrugged and grinned nonchalantly, "Wanted to get something to surprise you and mom!" Caster looked at him suspiciously, "Is it a good surprise or a bad surprise..?"

Conan chuckled, trying his best to not seem nervous, "I guess we'll both find that out later, huh?" His dad sighed, "Alright, keep your phone on you and call me if needed."

Conan hugged his dad and thanked him, "Yeah, yeah. Now go be gay. Love you."

Yeah, Conan's parents already knew he was gay. What? Oh, you thought that was what the story was about? Hah, someone didn't read the tags.

Conan feigned disappointment, "Tsk tsk tsk! Stereotypes aren't true." "Hm. You're quite the exception."

Conan laughed and shoved his dad playfully. He shrugged and sighed, "Gotta obey my parents!" They both chuckled and Conan sent his dad a blown kiss and headed out the door.

When he arrived at the mall he went straight to the pride store and picked out an elixir reading, "Incubus". He turned it over to read the back, "Not for the faint of heart. Also, don't give this to children. If you're a female then please use the Genderbender™ potion first, or things will be weird as shit."

Conan took a deep breath and then bought every book the store had on incubi care and power an such. He paid for the items then left the store, "No turning back now..." Conan wanted to curl up in a ball of mush and jump for joy at the same time. He decided to shrug and walk to the coffee shop. He ordered a frappé and sat at a table and then opened one of the books on controlling newly-found power and started reading.

"391, a grande frappé viss extra whipped cream and three shots of chocolate unt four shots of caramel? Oh, Conan get over here!" Conan stood up and grabbed the drink, winking at the bartender, "Thanks, Benny! How is my darling doing today?" Conan was a regular here.

The man rolled his eyes and sighed, "Conan, I svear, you're going to get arrested someday." Conan smirked, "I think I could live with that, as long as you still have that adorable accent." The bartender chuckled and leaned back, "Go read you dork."

Conan shrugged and chuckled, "Anything for my darling!" He sashayed his hips over to his seats and drank a bit. He started reading again. He soon became engrossed in the facts about what he was to become. "Oi Benny!" He called over to his best friend.

"Ja? Vat do you vant, I am in ze middle of my shift." Benny was neutrally wiping up the counters, "I wanna show you something really cool about incubi!" Benny sighed, "No. I vant to be surprised, or some excuse like zat."

Conan groaned, "But it's so COOL!" Conan made puppy eyes at him from across the hall, "Ugh, fine. Vatever. But only if it's appropriate." Benny face-palmed then ran his hand down his face. "Did you know incubi have cold di-" "Yes. Now shut up. Zere are ozzer people here." Conan shrugged then continued reading.

After a while he looked at the time, "Well I've gotta go tell my parents." Benny looked up from his work and nodded, "Call me after. Good luck!" He smiled reassuringly. Conan smiled back and left the store practicing his breathing exercises.
