He was almost tackled by a hug, from his- wait what?
"Baker! I heard about everything!" HIs sister, Tora, said excitedly. Baker stepped back, almost falling from mere force, however he quickly gained his balance. "Oh, y-you did..? Where's mom…" He mumbled, Tora finally letting go of him.
He hasn't seen his sister in at least a couple of years. Dhe was always more of the 'outcast' of their family. Well, that's what she always said. Baker always saw his parents being patient with her when it came to grades and boys, but they wanted what was best for her. Tora disagreed, so she moved all the way out to Kumamoto. Disappeared for four years, and then suddenly came back.
Why was she here again?
"Oh, still in the kitchen still. But, I recommend you pull up your hood." She says, poking her neck. She mouthed the words 'hickey', before nudging him towards the door. Baker's eyes widened, zipping his jacket up all the way, pulling his hood over his head. He lowered the cap that Yodhi had given him, making a shadow over his head. He took a breath.
Now or never.
Baker opened the door to the kitchen, both his parents looking up and staring at him. Baker waved shyly, stepping back to shut the door behind him. His father stood from his seat, walking over. He stares down at Baker, the subtle height difference becoming more. He places a hand on Baker's shoulder. "You were scared to tell us?"
Baker was quiet, lightly nodding. His father sighs, pulling him into the hug. "You should never be scared to tell us that." He voices slowly, patting Baker's back. Baker and his father were never too close, but it was nice hugging him. Would be one of the first hugs in a while. The blond smiles, before letting go. His father chuckled. "I thought you were in trouble with the police or something."
His mother scoffs from behind him, shaking her head. "Of course you thought something like that." She clicks her tongue, shaking her head with disappointment. She reminded him of Kiso. There was still a soft smile on her face. "You know, we would never make you feel anything less than. Nor would we ever hate you for something you can't change. I never want that for you, or for us."
Baker smiles quietly and nods. Tora steps into the kitchen, looking at the three before smiling. "Well, now that the serious shit is over, time for the fun part." She explains giddily, clapping her hands together. Tora always has something up her sleeve. "I saw you." She starts, mockingly whispering. Baker looked at him, obviously confused. "Saw me?" Baker repeats. Tora smirks. Oh god.
"I saw you outside making out in some rando's car."
Baker's breath stills. Tora cheekily grins, giggling. "Some brunette, he's hot." Tora cheekily smiles. Baker quickly turned to his parents. They were staring at him, looking concerned. "I uh….. She's lying. I wasn't-" Tora shakes her head, clicking her tongue just like Mother. "Baker, are you really going to lie to your own parents-" She waves her phone around. "-I have pictures." Baker launches over to her, trying to snap the phone with all his strength, yet Tora was also using all of her's.
"Mom, you should pull down his hood! He has a hickey!" Tora suggests as Baker tackles her to the ground. He grabs the phone, pushing Tora away. He quickly deletes the photo of him and Yoshi, before tossing Tora the phone. "You two, enough." His mom said sternly. Baker, out of breath, sighs. "Go back to Kumamoto." He muttered, laying on the floor. Tora scoffed, doing the same. "So, Yoshi. The boy you kissed and gave a hickey, I'm assuming you two are dating?" Baker was quick to correct them. "Oh, no, we aren't. But it was another boy that gave me the hickey." All of his family stared at him in shock.
Oh that sounded bad.
Oh that sounded really bad.
Baker quickly sat up. "Uh- I'm not- you know…. Like that…." He mumbled, trying to get his words together. Tora sighs, shaking her head. She stands up, beginning to drag Baker across the floor.
"Sali, Yokigo, congrats. Your son's a gay whore."
