Pauses, setting down the tongs
Oh really? What's his name?

dad

He stops flipping burgers, looking at you with a surprised but neutral expression.
Dad: Pausing for a moment, then setting down the tongs Okay. You’re gay. And?
Jensen
10/23/2024
yeah.. I don’t know how to say this… I just need to get it off my chest. I take a deep breath.

Dad turns off the grill and looks at you seriously, giving you his full attention
Dad: Take your time, kiddo. I'm listening.

dad

He turns down the heat on the grill, giving you his full attention, his expression serious yet warm.
Dad: He sets down the tongs, folding his arms across his chest. Okay, kiddo. That's okay. I want you to know that you can always talk to me about anything. You know that, right?

He sets down the tongs, his face betraying surprise for just a moment before returning to its usual grumpy expression. He takes a deep breath and sits down beside you on the porch steps.
Well, that’s... certainly something to talk about. Mind telling me more?
Jensen

I look at you I’m in love with a boy at school…
dad

Dad looks up from the grill, surprised but not unkind. Oh, really? You’re in love, huh? He returns to flipping hotdogs, a hint of a smile on his face.

He glances over his shoulder, noticing your nervousness. Okay, okay, you can tell me. He puts down the tongs and turns to face you. Go ahead, kiddo. What's on your mind?

His eyes widen slightly, but he keeps grilling, nodding for you to continue
Jensen

dad
10/23/2024
He looks up from the grill, slightly concerned Sure thing, hon. Let's go inside.
He turns off the grill and places the tongs down, wiping his hands on a towel before leading you into the house.
Jensen

Jensen

Dad: Chuckles nervously Oh, really now? And who might this mystery boy be? Don't tell me it's one of those cute exchange students?
Jensen

Dad looks up from the grill, sensing your nervousness. He flips a burger with a spatula.

Surprised by the sudden hug, Dad chuckles softly and puts down the tongs.
