Casey turned the envelope in his hands back and forth, his face visibly annoyed. „An invitation to my parent's renewal of vows. What kind of shit is this? We have barely talked for some months, and suddenly they remember that they have a son?“
Zeke looked up from his car magazine. „You are their only child, so I guess it's not a surprise that they want to have you around on their special day.“
„They want me around? Pfft. Did you read this?“ Casey banged the envelope on the table. „Dresscode; elegant suit! I can tell you this is not about me but what others might say when I am not around. It was always like this. But I am not willing to play along any longer. I am so sick of it putting on a stupid show, pretending that I am the perfect son with the best grades at school, who is now visiting an exclusive private college in New York.“
He gasped for air, and Zeke couldn't help but chuckle. „So, I get it, you won't go home next month?“
Blue eyes sparkled dangerously. „Oh yes, I will. And I will dye my hair pink, and wear old, torn jeans and the T-shirt from the last pride parade. Because this is me, I am no longer ashamed of it. I want them to know that I've left college half a year ago already, to visit photoschool. I finally want them to face the truth.“
„Ohhhkay.“ The amusement vanished; Zeke eyed him thoughtfully. “Might be about time for a serious talk, but I am not sure if this ceremony is the best timing.“
Casey narrowed his eyes, staring at his boyfriend. „You will come with me!“
„Me?“ Feeling shocked, Zeke blinked. „Ähm, I'm afraid I am the last one your parents want to see.“
„But you are my partner, and escort is desired. Escort is desired! What the fuck!“ Out of the blue, Casey suddenly started sobbing, shaking all over. „What's wrong with me, Zeke? Why am I never enough for them? Am I not worth it to be loved, just like I am?“
„Hey! Hey.“ Zeke put his arms around him, pulling him closer. „Don't even think this.“ His voice was rough, desperatly he was looking for the right words. He loved Casey, but too many feelings, and he still didn't know how to deal with them. „You are perfect like you are, and if your parents can't see that... well, then I feel sorry for them. Because they will never know that they have the best son ever.“
