Hey guys! This is my birthday gift to -_A_Human_- . It's no longer your birthday, so I'm really sorry, but I wrote you into a one shot :)

Ok so I know nothing about mormon traditions so this is all made up on my part. Sorry if it's not correct. 

Kevin's POV

I wake up with a little bit more bounce in my step than normal. It's visiting day, and my mom, dad, and brother are all coming. I haven't seen them for a year... and despite how excited I am, there's a little bit of a dark side to this. 

Connor and I are planning on telling our families about our relationship.

I turn and shake the Beautiful Boi ™. "Hey sweetheart. Time to wake up."

"No......" Connor mutters, rolling over and flinging an arm over me. 

"It's visiting day!" I mutter in his ear with a smile. 

He presses his lips against my ear to murmur, his breath tickling: "I don't care. Cuddles."

"Later." I stand and pull on a button down and fresh pants, nudging him with my foot. "Con."

Connor groans and sits up, attempting and failing to flatten his ginger hair. "Fine, yes, I'm coming."

"Aren't you excited to see our parents?" I prompt, tossing him a shirt and tying my tie. "Your sister?"

"I'm not excited for what we're telling them," he groans, tugging the shirt on and standing to put on pants. "More like- incredibly anxious."

"We'll be fine," I say, poking his chin and kissing his nose quickly. "Come on- we should go down."

Holding hands, I lead Connor downstairs to the kitchen. He trails awkwardly behind me, clutching my hand and yawning on a loop. The other elders greet us casually, each wearing barely concealed grins. They were all fine with us, but today we weren't the focus. No, everyone was far too focused on the excitement to come. 

"When are they coming?" I ask, turning for the coffee machine. "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY COFFEE?!"

"You can't drink lukewarm bean water around your mormon family," Church reminds me. "We hid it."

"Also, no cursing!" Poptarts chimes in. "You're becoming too rebellious- take it back a notch." I stare at him in horror.

"We're telling them one religion-rebelling thing at a time," Connor mutters, clutching his temple.

"They're coming any minute now," Zelder says.

Wow look at how wonderfully that turned out

Ding dong

"THE BUS IS HERE!!!!" Poptarts screams and launches himself towards the door. I watch from the counter, still quivering from the loss of my coffee. 

The door opens and a wall of mormons envelop us.

"James!" An older woman cries out, wrapping her arms around Church. He looks around with a questioning look on his face until the woman whispers something in his ear. He looks down, half disappointed and half angry.

A woman and man hug Poptarts tightly, but there's a little bit of room missing from the hug on Poptarts' left. Like there used to be another person there whenever they had family hugs.

"CONNOR!" A girl runs over and collides into Connor, nearly knocking him over. 

He pulls back, laughing. "Hey Bel!"

His little sister isn't quite as little as he often describes her- I'd say mid teens. Sixteen? She has light brown hair to her shoulders, not quite the same as Connor's ginger. Her brown eyes are more chocolatey than Connor's ocean... yet they share the same skin tone exactly. Either way, I'd say that she looks more like my sister than Connor's.

"I missed you!" She says, grinning. "You've been gone over a year!" 

"I know," Connor says, resting an arm around her shoulders. "Hey, Bel, this is-"

"KEVIN!" Another voice screamed. Another teenager slammed into my midsection. I gasp for air before hugging Jack back.

"I MISSED YOU!" Jack exclaims, pulling away.

"I missed you too!" I say, grinning. "Where's Mom and Dad?"

"They're coming," Jack says. "It may take a few, cause Dad is yelling at the bus driver for driving us down a dirt road."

"But... there's no other roads here."

"That's Dad for you."

"Yeah. Jack, this is my.... Connor!" I gesture over to Connor, who turns from his conversation with his sister. My Connor?

"Hi, you must be Kevin's brother!" Connor says, holding his hand out. Jack shakes it happily. "And Kevin, this is my sister, Bel."

"Hey Bel," I say, shaking her hand. She smiles at me warily, before glancing over at Connor weirdly. Does... does she know?

"Kevin!" My dad pulls me into a large hug, squeezing the air from me.

"Hi Dad-" I squeak as he releases me, and my mom hugs me.

"We missed you!!!!!" Mom pinches my cheeks, and I swat her hands away. Jack and Connor smirk.

"Mom, Dad, this is Connor," I say, gesturing to him. "My district leader. And his sister Bel."

"Hello," Dad says, shaking his hand. "Where are your parents?"

Connor looks away, his cheeks becoming blotchy. Bel bites her lip before replying for him. "They're, uh... not coming."

"They just sent you over by yourself?" Mom asks, looking concerned.

"I convinced them to let me come," Bel says defiantly.

My family stares at her, uncomprehending. I had no idea that Connor's parents weren't coming. I'm focused on him, however- it's clear to me what happened due to his red eyes and quivering lip.

"I'm sorry," Dad says gruffly, not understanding like I am but feeling some remorse. 

"It's okay," Connor, says, wiping his eyes and smiling shakily. "Um, actually, that leads into something I need to tell you, Bel." He shoots me a look. Now? I mouth back. He nods, and I clear my throat.

"This, uh, actually needs to be heard by you too, guys." I have everyone's full attention now. "Erm."

Bel squints, nodding almost imperceptibly. Jack looks at me, eyes wide with confusion. My parents glance at each other.

"We're dating," I blurt out as Connor exclaims, "WE'RE GAY FOR EACH OTHER."

I stare at him. I thought I was doing the talking???

I'm sorry! He mouths back desperately. 

My parents stare at us. Jack gapes.

"I knew it." Bel smirks. 

"T-that's a sin," a voice says. I whirl to my right and see Davis' mother stepping towards us. We'd attracted a bit of a crowd, due to Connor's outburst. "That's not right."

"You know what's not right?" Jack says, stepping up to her. "Your face!"

"Jack!" My mom says, scandalized.

"She insulted Kevin!" Jack protests.

"Rightfully so!" Schrader's dad says, agreeing with this vile hell spawn of a woman.

"Back the fuck off!" Bel says, and the congregation of families turn to stare at her in shock. Bel watches them all with fury.

Arnold covers his ears.

"Don't give my brother any shit for who he loves!" Bel exclaims, wrapping an arm around a frazzled Connor. "He already got enough from our parents!"

"But it's evil..." Poptarts' mom mumbles, and Poptarts looks at her in horror. 

"Then I guess I'm a demon, huh?" Bel shrugs. "I guess bisexuality still counts in your books?"

"I-I" Davis' mom says.

"Please leave," Davis mutters.

"What was that, sweetheart?" The woman asks, turning back to him.

"I need you to leave," Davis says, louder now. "I don't want you to come into our house and then yell at us."

"Same goes for me," Schrader says, eyeing his father.

Poptarts nods meekly.

"I..."

"The door is open," Church says coolly.

Half of the parents shuffle out the door, mumbling and scowling. I look at my parents, unsure what the outcome would be.

My father slowly meets my eyes uncomfortably before gently shaking his head and leaving.

I feel my chest shake as I look at my mom. She pauses for a moment, looking at the door. She turns to Bel.

"Me too," she murmurs. "I... am bi."

I stare at her in surprise. "Mom? You're bi?"

"Don't tell your father," she says weakly.

"I don't think he'll be talking to me anytime soon," I say offhandedly, trying to conceal the aching in my heart. 

Mom watches me carefully for a moment before pulling me into a deep hug, stroking the back of my head as I begin to cry into her shoulder. Jack tacks on, wrapping his arms around Mom. Connor gently wraps his arms around my waist, and Bel hugs us all.

"Thank you," I say. 

To all of them.
