friends with benefits? [COMPLETED]

twenty three

"brendon! come here, your grandma's here!" boyd yelled from downstairs.

brendon walked to the family room where his whole family was standing, them all looking at him like he committed a crime. well, except for cassidy. she just looked plain worried.

"we also wanted to talk tot you about something," grace said, her hand behind her back like she was holding something.

"what's up?"

she then exposed the item that was behind her back.

it was a condom wrapper.

shit, he thought.

"would you like to tell me what this is from?" boyd asked.

"not really, no."

"would you rather us ask around?"

"okay, dad, i'll tell. well, first of all, i'm gay, thanks. second of all, mom already knows."

"grace?" boyd asked, looking extremely confused.

"yup. i walked in on brendon and ryan ross quickly getting dressed just a minute ago before ryan left."

"oh."

everyone was speechless, including brendon's grandma, terri.

until she said this.

"i always knew, i just didn't want to say anything," terri whispered, even though everyone heard her.

cassidy burst out into laughter, brendon shrugged, and the parents were just speechless.

"why are you guys so surprised? i came out as bisexual like two years ago and you were fine with it. now bren comes out as gay and it's a big deal? that's pretty strange, if you ask me."

"true, cas. i thought you guys got the hint, regarding me never bringing a girlfriend home and constantly having ryan over."

"you brought that sarah girl over once!" grace exclaimed.

"she's a lesbian, and we were actually working on a theology project, so yeah."

"ooh, aren't her and vicky asher dating?" cassidy asked.

"yup. what's their ship name? varah?"

"sounds good, bren. anyways, back to our homosexual discussion, what do you guys think?"

"i think you're gonna love who you're gonna love and that it doesn't matter," replied terri.

"i think it's fine."

"fine with me too, bren. tell ryan to come over for dinner," suggested boyd.

"okay. i'll text him. thanks, guys!"

"no problem. we love you bren," grace remarked.

"love you guys, too. i'm gonna text ry and invite him though, so i'll be in my room."

little do they know that he's already coming for dinner, thought brendon.

and it was going to be a hell of a dinner.
