"I can't be a siren.", Charles scoffed nervously, "That's for girls."
"No, it's for people attracted to dudes. People like you are pretty rare around this region, about ten percent of the population", Xander informed.
Charles gave a nervous laugh, "I don't like-"
"Gary, 5th grade.", the fortune teller remarked, putting a bracelet of blue, pink, and purple beads around Charles' wrist.
"I hate that you know everything.", Charles grumbled, "What does the bracelet mean?"
"It means Bisexual."
Charles nodded, "So, if I'm a siren, do I have powers?"
"Correct, oh swinging one."
"Please don't call me that."
Xander chuckled, "Alright, but you do need to learn about your powers, and train with the rest of the sirens.
"I'm not going to perform as the only guy there. Everyone'll think I'm weird,"
Xander raised an eyebrow, "Weirder than the 'creepy fortune teller'?"
"You're not creepy."
Xander pointed at Charles, "You think that because you've met me. Most people just think I'm a weird trickster that lives in a cave."
Charles frowned, "Why don't you openly talk to people so they don't spread rumors?"
"I have a lot of anxiety, so I just have my sessions in private.", the fortune teller replied, pulling the hood over his head so it covered his eyes.
Charles thought over his and Xander's problems, "I'll go through training if you try to get over your anxiety.", he offered.
Xander smiled fondly, "Deal."
(Happy coming out Day my dudes.🏳️🌈)
