Jiro: Mom, Dad.

Liquen, Perry: Yes son?

Jiro: Thanks for everything! Thank you for accepting me and letting me be who I am.

Perry: Of course son! We are always here to support you.

Liquen: Yeah, and remember son, you can like anyone, marry anyone, kiss anyone, as long as you love them and care for them.

Jiro: *smiles* Aww thanks mom and dad!

:: Jiro then hugs his mom and dad and Aegis enters the room and sees them hugging, without any hesitation he joins them without even knowing why they're hugging.

Jiro: Oh! Hi Aegis!

Aegis: Why are you guys smiling and hugging?

Liquen: Guess who has a boyfriend…

Aegis: Hmm… I wonder, maybe it's… You dad! *giggles*

Liquen: *giggles* you silly boy!

Aegis: I'm just kidding, It's… Jiro!

Jiro: Yeah *giggles*

Aegis: I wanna meet him! Who is it?

Jiro: Take a guess.

Aegis: Hmm…I don't know, cause the only friend that you ever brought to our house is Helios.

Jiro: *smiles* Then I think you know who it is.

Aegis: *gasp* HELIOS?

Jiro: Yeah!

Aegis: Oh My Gosh! Finally! When they lived here, Helios always asked me questions about you.

Jiro: Really?

Aegis: Yeah!

Jiro: Anyways, I'm gonna go to my room and get changed, me and Helios also promised each other that we would play some games.

Perry: Ok! I'll just call you when I need you.

:: Jiro heads to his room and changes his clothes, he also sent text messages to Helios.

Helios: Hi boyfriend!

Jiro: That doesn't sound right.

Helios: Then what should I call you?

Jiro: Hmm… "babe" is too common.

Helios: Oh! I know!

Jiro: What is it?

Helios: I'm not telling you yet, you have to wait for it.

Jiro: Ok Fine! Anyways, I already miss you.

Jiro: Speaking of, I thought we're gonna play some video games today?

Helios: Oh, yeah right.. What game do you want to play?

Jiro: hmm… You choose..

Helios: Same for me… How about… Dead By Daylight.

Jiro: That game is paid though.

Helios: Oh, wait, you didn't get it? It was free 2 months ago. And don't you still have credits to buy it?

Jiro: Really? Uhm, I don't feel like wasting money again, can we play another game?

Helios: Sure… CS:GO?

Jiro: Meh, I really don't like that game, It's too original.

Helios: Then what do you wanna play then?

Jiro: Can't we just go play "Apex"? Or "VALORANT"?
