Zeke returned to the living room and dropped down on the couch beside Casey. „He's finally fallen asleep,“ he said, smiling.
Casey sighed silently. „Guess the prospect of his first con is a bit overwhelming. I wonder if we are doing the right thing; maybe he is still too young.“
„Stan and Stokey will pay good attention to him, and bring him back in one piece, don't worry.“
„I'm not worried about that; I know we can trust them. It's just...“
Zeke gave him a sideways glance. „His costume," he asked.
"Really, I don't know what Stokes was thinking when she told him that anime dresses are so cool.“
"Well, animes are the new comics. Lots of people are crazy about it."
"Doesn't mean that our son has to wear a colorful dress." Casey huffed. "Why can't he go as Superman or Chewbacca, as every boy his age will."
Zeke pulled his face. „Don't you think this is a tiny bit narrow-minded? You are a big supporter of 'Free Life for Everyone', but it is a problem when your eight-year-old son dresses up like a girl for some hours?“
Casey blinked some tears away. „You know, I don't mind, but others might. What if they laugh about him or call him a freak? I don't want him to get hurt.“
„Case!“ Zeke put his arm around his husband's shoulder. „I know, it wasn't easy for you as a child, growing up in the closeminded town of fucking Ohio, and with no around backing you up.
But this is a convention in New York, where everyone goes wild. And Jay is growing up with two fathers who love him to pieces. We can't protect him from all dumbheads in the world, but we made him strong enough always to be proud of himself and to go his way, no matter what others think about it.“
He paused and chuckled. „He looks cute in his dress, don't you think so?"
„I'm afraid he does." A slight smile sneaked on Casey's face. "Without this ridiculous monster cap on his head, he might even win a prize in the costume contest. And who knows what he will come up with then next time.“
„Surprise.“ Zeke laughed. „I guess this will depend entirely on our son's imagination. And of Stokes' newest obsession, of course.“ He bent forward for a kiss. "Don't worry, he will have a great time, and we will have a Saturday just for the two of us. Maybe we should take advantage of this and do some crazy things."
