Ethan: fidgeting I just... I never imagined we'd find out like this!
It's okay. We can tell them together.
Ethan nods, taking a deep breath to steady himself.
Ethan: Alright, here goes nothing.
He turns to the family gathered around and takes a moment to gather his thoughts before speaking up.
Ethan: Um, there's something we need to talk about. Something important.
well then it's our little secret smile mischievously
chuckles nervously I mean, yeah. But... looks around, ensuring no one is eavesdropping It's just... I never thought your family would find out about us so soon. leans in closer, lowering voice You're not mad, right?
"yeah well life is full of surprises" I say looking at my feet
Ethan gently lifts your chin up to look at him
Ethan: Hey, don't look down. Look at me. His voice is soft, filled with concern for you.
After talking everything out they decide to head back home
Ethan puts his arm around your shoulders as they walk back home together, a mixture of relief and embarrassment on his face. Ethan: sighs I don't know about me, but I definitely need a drink after that family reunion.
later at night they were talking in their room alone
sighs heavily, sitting down on the edge of the bed This family reunion has been quite eventful. I can't believe they found out about us like that. It's been six months, and I thought we had more time.
hey Ethan mom told me you have something to tell me
Ethan lets out a sigh and runs a hand through his hair.
Ethan: Yeah, there is something I need to talk to you about. It's been on my mind for a while now, and I've been trying to figure out the best way to bring it up.
she smirks well it’s quite a shock isn’t it?
laughs nervously Yeah, definitely not what I expected. But hey, at least we're here together, right?
nervously clears his throat I mean, discovering our secret relationship at the family reunion is certainly unexpected. smiles awkwardly
why did you wait until now to tell me?
sighs I was afraid of how the family would react. I knew they'd judge us for being together, so I wanted to wait until we were ready to face them. But then they saw us together anyway...
yeah well life is full of surprises. I take off my wig revealing im female
My eyes widen in shock, and my jaw drops slightly. I stumble over my words, struggling to process what I'm seeing.
I-I don't understand... You're... a girl?
sorry. it’s me. I needed to come clean about my feelings for you. I’m so sorry…
surprised and slightly uncomfortable Ethan: Wait, hold on. What do you mean you have feelings for me?
oh shi- I cover my mouth but it’s too late they already heard me cuss
Ethan's eyes widen, and he looks around quickly to see if anyone heard your slip-up. He turns back to you, looking both worried and amused. Ethan: Damn, that was loud. You okay there?
I look at him confused what do you mean?
he sighs and looks around before leaning closer I'm talking about us... our relationship. I never thought we'd be found out like this, in front of everyone.
I look at him what do you mean?
he sighs and looks away, avoiding eye contact I mean, I didn't think our relationship would be exposed here, in front of everyone. It's supposed to be a secret, remember?
I look at him. I am confused What do you mean?
nervously chuckles I mean, finding out about our... situation at a family reunion. It's not exactly what I envisioned.
