"How was it? What did the professor say?"
"Did he say what happened to him? Did you hear the cry in his voice?"
"Scott? Scott, talk!"
Scott had a shocked expression on his face, maintained the posture of holding the microphone, and slowly turned his head. Ultra-fast and stable updates, this article was first published by
"...We got into trouble." Jean said this for him, and her face didn't look good either. She looked around at the boys and girls, big and small, and sighed, "The one who answered the phone was not a professor. .”
Many people were shocked: "What did you say?!"
"are you sure?!"
"Don't scare me! Isn't he the professor? Is he that bastard!" Sean almost jumped three feet in the air. He was the one who scolded the most fiercely just now. "Oh my God, didn't you listen to each other say "holle" before speaking?"
"...It's actually Harry..."
Jean saw the ghostly expression on his face and quickly added.
All the noisy voices stopped immediately, and the whole hall was filled with deathly silence.
Raven's dagger-like gaze immediately came over her, and she who was just watching indifferently was immediately shocked and angry when she heard her nephew's name.
"You said it was Harry who answered the phone? Why Harry? Harry is studying in the United States, and Charles said that he will not come back casually during this period." She took a deep breath first, then calmly judged, and responded to Jean's statement. questioned.
"But that's him. There is only one boy in the professor's family!" Scott finally rescued himself from being speechless. He waved his hands, "How do I know he is there! If I knew, I wouldn't let you Let’s curse together! God, does he know this is right? He knows his father has a boyfriend!”
"He knows a p!" Sean said, "Why should we let an eleven-year-old know that his dad has a boyfriend! Didn't Alex tell you? Anything inappropriate for children should not be allowed in this house. was mentioned!"
"That's your fault." Scott immediately shied away the responsibility, "You didn't tell him, don't blame us. Why can't you tell him? It's just a love affair!"
The students around him, dominated by him, nodded quickly after hearing this sentence.
Raven and Hank looked at each other, feeling that this might be a bit troublesome, but Sean... Sean had already started crying while holding Hank in his arms.
"Erik will definitely kill us," he vowed, "and Charles won't speak for us!!"
"You're right." Raven kicked away Sean who was holding her boyfriend, looking serious and a little worried. She bit her newly dyed blue nails, thought for a long time, and finally decided -
——"I won't go back." She declared loudly.
"What?" Hank said in shock, "But - but you know, Charles asked you to go back for a casual meal."
"I don't want to get involved in their family affairs," Raven said ruthlessly, crossing her arms. "These troubles are caused by them, and they deserve to be solved - I will never be the snake oil sandwiched between parents and children. .”
………………
Raven was right, because Charles suddenly realized that he was in big trouble.
His son, his little sweet pie, his good son who has been docile, well-behaved, and extremely considerate since he was a child, his Harry, is now talking on the phone with a volume that he has never used at home or to Charles. The shouts beside the machine were loud.
"daaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!! Are you in a relationship with uncle erik?!!!"
When Harry first started, he was almost stunned.
fall in love? Who and whom? Dad? My dad? Who is my dad with? erik? Uncle erik? Dad is dating Uncle Erik? fall in love? ! in love! ! ! They are in love! ! !
When did this happen? He asked himself, wanting to find some clues from his memory, but he immediately found that his lips were trembling because the flames of anger were overwhelming his curiosity and exploration at this time.
When did this happen? Is his dad gay? Uncle Erik is also gay?
These are three crucial questions. If it were a matter involving someone else's family, Harry could start to solve it from these three questions. But what if this matter happened to their family?
--Hey! Come on, I don't care! ! ! ! ! !
After Harry came to this conclusion, he immediately dropped the phone and ran a few steps to Charles who was reading the newspaper. It was the first time that the floor was stepped on so loudly. It was only at this time that Charles felt that his son's weight was Normal - the sound was so true to the weight that it sounded like thunder in Charles' ears now.
——But obviously now is not the time to feel relieved. Trouble came, in a way that Charles had not thought of, at a moment that he had not thought of and could not be. It was so untimely that Charles thought the trouble was doubled.
"...Well..." When Charles looked at his son with those green eyes, the countless excuses that flashed through his head turned into dust before he exited. It was very troublesome to explain the matter, so he chose to ask a question first.
"Sit down first, Harry, my dear," Charles held Harry's hand and asked cautiously but trying to remain steady, quickly assessing the extent of Harry's anger in his mind, "First tell me, where did you hear the news? ?”
He asked at the wrong time, so it would be better not to ask. When he asked, Harry became even more angry than before.
The boy suddenly stood up from the sofa, paced back and forth in front of Charles, and kept taking deep breaths to try to calm down his mood.
"From Scott and the others - I actually want to know this news from Scott and the others!! I simply - I simply can't imagine this!!! daaaaaaaaaad!!!!" He shouted in a prolonged voice, "You It's my dad, but I need to know this from others. You have never told me about this - you are actually in a relationship with Uncle Erik! How can you do this!!"
His face turned red with excitement. To him, this incident was like Thor hitting a thunderbolt on his head. It's not that he had to make any contribution to his father's love problem, but, Charles Not telling Harry anything important about himself was unprecedented and completely unexpected for Harry. Thinking about it, this matter was not without clues. Harry thought about it carefully and found that there were indeed signs of this in his family, but he didn't think about it at all, so he was completely kept a secret on this matter. .
But, exclude me? As his father's son, he doesn't know that his father is in love. What does this mean? He is not Nina's age either, he has every right to be informed!
Therefore, in Harry's opinion -
"Dad, you've gone too far."
After saying that, Harry turned his head and ran angrily towards the kitchen, leaving Charles with his mouth open and his hands out but unable to say a word. Peter on the other side of the kitchen quickly retracted his peeking head, playing a tune in his mouth and holding his hands. While cutting radishes and pretending to be helping, Wanda looked at her brother and said nothing.
"Thank you, please give them to me!" Harry grabbed Peter's kitchen knife and chopped it hard on the chopping board. He used so much force that the chopping board shook.
Peter, who was standing behind him, was stunned, with a look of horror on his face as if he had been robbed, and he wanted to speak out but didn't dare.
"Why do you have such an expression?" Wanda asked in confusion as her brother almost turned his expression into the famous painting "The Scream".
"Shh-" Peter gestured quickly, pointing at Harry, who was chopping vegetables with all the knives flying around him when he got angry, and shook his head with a flat mouth, "Looking at him like this, to be honest, I'm really afraid that he will get angry. Chop me up with the carrot!!!"
wanda: "………………"
Half an hour later, Peter had to take his sister out of the kitchen - it turned out that under Harry's excessive exertion, the kitchen was completely his battlefield, and Peter would be hit on the head by flying potatoes even if he just continued to stand there. danger.
…………
The dinner was sumptuous, after all, that was what Harry came back for, and he wouldn't want to mess this up. But because his son's heart was broken by his father, he didn't say a word before putting down the tableware, letting the heat exuding the scent of seafood block his expressionless face.
If we don't make some changes, the whole dinner will be in silence. Peter and Wanda are taking care of one child each, taking care of them to eat like a brother and sister, especially Nina. She still needs to be carried to a high stool for adults to eat, and will be carried down later. She would say something from time to time, and the adults and brothers and sisters would answer her, but none of the three children over ten years old would talk to the adults.
Erik sat silently next to Charles who was full of sentimentality.
"Don't worry," he was comforting Charles now, although he had to whisper quietly when Harry turned around and went in to get the baked dessert, "We all expected it before, he is a good boy, he will accept it, he Now I'm just angry... for a moment."
Although it was almost a comfort, when these words came out of Erik's mouth, they became very dry and routine, so they were of no use to Charles now.
"We all thought about him wrong," Charles told him in his head angrily. Even so, his voice was kept low. He knew that Harry might hear him. He said to Erik, "We - God, We are so stupid, Erik. We always thought that he would not accept male love, and we were afraid that he would not admit our relationship for a while. We always wanted to wait until he grew up and tell him when the time was right, but we didn't. It’s harder for him to accept that we kept this from him than this!”
Erik...Erik didn't know what to do, so he could only sigh weakly, reach out and pat his Charles' back comfortingly.
It's quite ironic to say that just two hours ago, Charles could calmly point out the world to Erik. However, now, the two of them have been reduced to a point where brothers and sisters are not enough to describe this agreement - they are simply Couples in distress, because they all have the trouble of having children, and they happen to be a family and are eating at the same table.
big trouble.
"What should we do?" Charles asked, grabbing his hair.
"Talk to them?" Erik said tentatively.
"Talk to them. Definitely." Charles confirmed the idea.
"Then we have to be together," Erik enjoyed this, how should I say, moment when he and Charles were worrying about the same problem and the same family, but at this moment, when he was burdened with the problems of more than one child. , he couldn't shoulder all the responsibilities alone, "We have to deal with all the children together, including Harry, including Peter and Wanda."
"Nina is still young, but we have to tell her properly," Charles made a decision in an instant, "So when will we start?"
"...Dessert time?"
"Dessert time."
…………
Perhaps the anger needs sweetness to calm down. When the dessert time came, Xavier’s table was filled with desserts. In addition to the cheese blueberry cake that Erik specially bought, there were also strawberry cream-filled puff pastry rolls, Yorkshire pudding, sprinkles, etc. There are croissants with white chocolate shavings, cookies mixed with chocolate beans during baking, and a cup of hot milk tea per person, which leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
This sweet table lies in the middle, with all the adults in the family on the left and all the children in the family on the right, clearly distinguishable.
"Well, before dessert time starts, we have something to say to you, no, no, no, no, sweetheart, don't make that face, it doesn't look good." Seeing Harry's face suddenly fall, Charles' heart broke. , he quickly said softly, "I promise I won't do this kind of thing again - so at least listen to what I have to say, okay?"
"The same goes for both of you." Eric mustered up the courage to kiss Charles for the first time, and then he had the courage to look directly at the twins and say, "There are many things..." He paused, "Maybe some of you understand, and some don't. Understand, and we... have also done some things wrong, and we need to give you some explanations." He said with some difficulty, feeling that it was so difficult to squeeze out the sound from his throat for the first time.
Harry then put away his depressed expression and sat upright in a serious manner. Charles knew that this meant he was slightly accepting, and quickly showed a happy smile to his son, which made Harry feel a little embarrassed.
Losing his temper with Charles was a rare first time in his life, but Harry had always been very sensible. He had always been completely, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want his father to feel sad at all.
It's just that this time he was really angry - to be honest, when everyone knew, was it really okay to hide this from his son? !
"First of all, I need to apologize-" Charles said, and Erik held his hand and answered, "It's us who need to apologize."
"Yes, we need to apologize. First of all, we hid the fact that we were in love from Harry," Charles said. His blue eyes were as beautiful as ever, and they shone softly under the light. "But you have to You know, dear, we just want to make a long-term plan. We need a suitable moment, a perfect time, and some proper preparation before we can let you know these things. Adding more people to the family is not a small matter, and we don’t I hope you are troubled by this, and Erik and I have only been together recently, and I assure you that we have not officially announced this news to anyone, and they are all relying on guesswork."
Although he was very depressed that he had not guessed it, Harry felt much better after receiving this guarantee. But Peter twitched his lips.
——Yes, yes, after being together for more than ten years, I thought you had already gotten married, but I found out that you were so close to getting married. This is easy to see, so easy to see that anyone but children can guess it.
"You are my most precious treasure, my only son. You have to believe that the person I love most is you. I will never hurt you or hide anything from you, let alone be afraid of you hurting me," Charles His voice was like warm milk, with a soothing effect. His words made Harry's eyes sore, "I-I'm sorry, I was proud that I was an enlightened parent, but I underestimated you." , I mistakenly thought that my son did not have the qualities that I was proud of. I knew clearly that he had a heart that loved me and a broad mind, but I did not expect that he needed me to be honest with him more than my selfish care for him. treat."
"...Actually, I don't mind you having a boyfriend at all." Harry lowered his head and buried himself in the milk tea cup and complained, "Really. But you can't just not tell me."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, I know, there is no next time, my dear." He turned the wheelchair and wanted to go to his son. Harry ran to him first and gave him a kiss. Charles then aimed at Harry's forehead and kissed him. Goes down, "I'm really, really sorry, Harry."
"What does it mean to have a boyfriend?" Nina asked. She couldn't quite understand, so she raised her short hand and asked, "What does it mean that Charles has a boyfriend? Our teacher said that only women can have boyfriends."
"If you love a man and he loves you, then no matter you are a boy or a girl, he will be your boyfriend, sweetheart." Charles said gently to the little girl.
Nina nodded in understanding: "That means, dad loves Charles, and Charles also loves dad?"
"Yes," Harry looked a little embarrassed at his father and nodded, "Yes, that's it - I'm glad you didn't hide it from the second person." He said to Charles.
Charles smiled and nodded: "Yes, I love him - yes, we will never hide this from any family member again."
"And you - Eter," Erik knew that Charles' time was over and it was his turn, so he took a deep breath, "I'm sorry."
Wanda blinked. She is a very special girl, special than any young girl Erik has ever met. She is calm, calm, a little good, but not really cold, but at the same time, it is difficult for you to see her real thoughts. She is undoubtedly much more mature than Peter.
After Wanda tapped her fingers on the table several times in an orderly manner, she calmly asked Erik: "For what? I don't think we need to apologize. I heard that you are not a heartless person."
"Because I didn't fulfill my father's responsibilities." Erik said, "Maybe you won't be happy to say this - but I don't feel like I owe your mother."
As a child raised by his mother, Peter moved uneasily, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"After marriage, a husband has obligations to his wife. This is brought about by legal relations, vows and love." Erik discovered for the first time that he could be so eloquent in this regard, "But your mother and I broke up peacefully." He said expressionlessly, "We are not married. She proposed breaking up first, and then I agreed. There is no obligation between us, and there is no relationship brought about by law, vows or love."
He looked at the three children opposite, his expression softening a lot.
"But you are different - parents' obligations to their children are innate. The legal relationship, vows, and love between parents and their children are all...innate." Erik said meaningfully.
"Oh, so what does this mean?" Peter glanced at his sister and almost unscrewed the buttons on his clothes under the table.
"This..." Erik's heart pounded nervously because of her so salty words, but under Charles' gaze and prompted by this perfect situation, he knew he couldn't stop here.
Finally, he strengthened his determination - he must say this to them.
This sentence should have been said when they were born, but it has remained until now. Regardless of whether they would accept him next, Erik had to tell them this.
"This means I love you." Erik said, "I will always love you. Even if I leave this world, even if you don't love me, I will still love you."
"This is something that was destined from the beginning, Eter. This is my, as a father, my innate responsibility, my innate oath and love."
