Conan's Coming Out

Welp I'm probably screwed. No turning back.

As Conan walked home he held the elixir in his left hand. Mostly for fidgeting purposes but also for strength. He took a deep breath, "I know who I am and I will become just that whether my parents approve or otherwise." He muttered to himself.

When he turned the corner and saw his house his heartbeat quickened, 'Calm down. Geez.'

He walked up the front steps and put the elixir in his pocket. He opened the door and came in, "I'm home! Shower me with praise!"

His mom, Micha, heard him, "I'm in the kitchen! Please don't shout!" She shouted from the other room. Conan huffed, "Yes mom!"

He walked into the kitchen and hugged his mother, "Where have you been?" Conan sighed a bit, "Just to the mall. Dad said I could."

Micha sighed, "Alright. Which stores were you checking out?"

Conan rolled his eyes, "Not that it's any of your business but I just went to the pride shop and then to the coffee shop to annoy benny." He said nonchalantly.

"Alright. I'm getting prepared for dinner. I'll let you know when it's ready."

Conan thanked her and then rushed himself up to his room. He flopped down on his bed and immediately texted Benny.

Conan groaned and got up chuckling. He grabbed his bag and got the stuff out. He grabbed a mug that says "SURPRIZE", a black v-neck t-shirt with hemmed wing holes, and some dark skinny jeans.

He walked downstairs and into the kitchen, "Hey mom? Do you know where dad is?" He asked, "Nope, probably in our room or someplace like that." Micha was chopping veggies, "What do you need?" She looked at him questioningly, "Nothing, I just wanna talk to you and dad is all."

Micha sighed, "Ok, you know where to find me once you track dad down." Conan smiled, "Thanks!"

Conan swiveled his heels and walked upstairs, "Dad? Fuzzer? Papá?" He had a lot of nicknames. "Yeah? I'm in the attic!" Caster called.

"Thank youuu~!" Conan sang as he raced up the stairs. When he got to the top he saw his dad sorting through old boxes of pictures and the like, "I'm ready to show you and mom the surprise!" He said, nervously.

Caster smiled at him, "Alright, I'll finish this box and be right down." Conan chuckled, "Thanks! Take your time!" He ran back to his room and texted Ben again.

Y: 'Oi.'

Y: 'Get ur ass on ur phone.'

Y: 'PWEASE ☹️'

Y: 'fine be that way. rumble grumble groan.'

"ANSWER ME DAMMIT!" Conan whisper/shouted as he called for the third time in a row. He whined and faked sobbing and dramatically splayed himself out on his bed. He groaned, "This attention whore needs to get paid."

After a lot of groaning and trying to get ahold of Benny, he went downstairs to see his parents talking in the kitchen.

He cleared his throat and went in, "Can I show you my surprise now?" Caster smiled, "We were waiting for you!" Conan smiled back, VERY nervously, and took a breath. "Ok... please don't get mad."

He pulled the flask of potion out of his pocket with a shaky hand and popped the top off. His parent's eyes widened, Caster started, "Conan wai-!" He was cut off by Conan bringing the elixir up to his lips and downing it like a shot.

It burned a bit on the way down. He sighed roughly and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"I am an incubus."
