Ricardo carefully knocked on the door of his father's shop. "Mama? Papa?"

Lyra was sat at the bar, busy reading a newspaper when he entered. "Ricardo! How are you, sweetheart?"

"Hi, Mama," he grinned, walking inside. "I- I've been fine. Hi, Pa."
Rafael looked up from the broomstick he was repairing, waving to his son.
"I... I came because I need to talk about something important. With you."

The woman's smile faded as she took note of his seriousness. "Sit down, I'll get you a drink."

Rafael exchanged a quick glance with his wife, gently leading his son by the arm to the part of the store that served as a house, sitting down at the kitchen table. With every step, Ricardo felt dizzier, a sick feeling in his stomach. Here we go... Leo said it would go well. Will it go well? I hope it goes well...

Lyra filled a glass with pumpkin juice and carried it over, placing it before her son. Her mind whirled as she took a seat opposite him, clasping her hands before her. "So, what's the matter?"

"I... um..." Ricardo stared at the pumpkin juice, hands cold and clammy. "There's something I've been wanting to tell you guys. For years, now. And I've always been scared to say it. And I recently told Leo, and he thinks it's time to tell you two."
Rafael glanced at his wife. Wait... is he... isn't this what we've suspected?

Lyra's lips twitched as she caught her husband's glance. "Whatever you need to say, you can tell us. We'll never judge you for anything, Ricardo."

Ricardo nodded shakily, the next few words tumbling from his mouth. "I guess what I'm trying to say... it's... I, uh... I guess... no wait, I know... I'm..."

Lyra was smiling as she cast another look at Rafael. She had been doubtful of her eldest son's sexuality before, and she was certain that she knew what was coming.

Ricardo took a careful sip of pumpkin juice. The taste calmed him down, even comforted him somewhat. "I'm a flagrant homosexual, is what I'm trying to say."

Lyra couldn't help the snort that escaped her and she raised an eyebrow, blue eyes shining with amusement. "Delicately put. I couldn't have said it better myself."

"Wait. You're not at all surprised?"
Rafael laughed putting a hand on his son's shoulder. "We're your parents. It wasn't exactly difficult for us to draw the conclusion."

"We've had our suspicions for a while," she said gently, placing her hand over his. "And you ought to know that we don't feel any differently about you for it."

"Oh." He visibly relaxed, a relieved smile gracing his features. "Thank you."

"Are there any boys we should know about?" she teased him.

"Well," he murmured, leaning back in the couch. "There might be one. Maybe. His name's Vincent."

"That's wonderful," she said, clapping her hands together. "When can we meet him? You must bring him down one weekend."

"Whoa. Whoa," he said, glancing at his mother. "It's not like that. Yet. I don't even think he feels the same way."
Rafael scoffed. "Please. Who can resist the charm of a Montoya?"
