BXBX NOVEL Chapter 710 The Talk
-----
"Sylphy I\'m going to go take a shower!" Aquarina said.
"Sure, go ahead." I said. "I\'ve gotta talk something with mom so don\'t wait for me."
"Oh, okay!" Aquarina quickly ran upstairs.
I walked to my mother\'s office as she greeted me there.
"Sylphy?" She wondered. "Is there something you need, dear?"
She was doing paperwork as usual, she often stays until very late. She has incredibly physical resilience as someone with a Physique of Tier 8, so I am not so worried about her. Nonetheless, I came here not to remind her to not do all-nighters.
"So, uuuhh… I want to talk something with you." I sighed, sitting in front of her. "I know I am like 13 right now and all, I am young, I know…"
My mother heard me attentively, feeling slightly confused why was I even talking about my age.
"But I… err, well… I am kind of… You know…" I sighed. "And me and Aquarina…"
"Oh…" My mother quickly realized what I was trying to say. "Go on."
"I… Well, since I was little that I\'ve liked boys… and girls too." I sighed. "A-And Aquarina and I… Well, she might be a bit pushy at times but… Well, in my birthday she… confessed to me."
"I see…" My mom nodded. "You\'re so nervous over this, did you think I was going to get mad, dear?"
"I-I…! No, that\'s not it but… it\'s complicated." I sighed.
"It\'s not as much as you imagine." My mother sighed. "I wouldn\'t be a good mother if I didn\'t realized these little clues here and there as you grew up. It was always obvious you two girls also had feelings that weren\'t just friendship."
"Y-You did?!" I was honestly a bit surprised.
"Of course." My mother said, giving me a head pat. "My love, I know you much better than you think. I am your mother, that\'s my job."
"Right…" I sighed. "So… Well, Aquarina and I… Has Zephy not told you anything?"
"I promised him I wouldn\'t tell you he told me but… He did implied you two girls kissed." She laughed.
"Aaagh! That little rascal!" I cried, feeling frustrated.
"So? Is there anything else you need to know?" My mother wondered. "Something you want to ask me?"
"I… Well I do love her…" I sighed, admitting her to my own mother. "I… I love her not like a friend but… romantically. Like you love dad."
"I see." My mother smiled, while blushing a bit. "It is so cute to see you develop your feelings as you grow up, like a beautiful flower blossoming in spring. Dear, I am so happy your blossoming period is so sweet."
"E-Eh? Blossoming?" I asked, feeling slightly confused.
"We elves call our puberty as "blossoming"…" My mother said. "It is the period where we discover our sexuality, romantic feelings, we have crushes, and so on. Sometimes it is even the time when… well, I guess you\'re old enough to know. The time when we first have… well, sex."
"I see…" I nodded attentively. "Mom, did you…?"
"T-To tell you the truth… I didn\'t had a good blossoming period." My mother sighed. "I isolated myself, and never had friends, nor lovers… Your father was the first person that ever showed interest in someone so grumpy and closed like me. And he slowly opened my own heart, he made me blossom. I am glad you don\'t have to go through the same thins as your mother did, have a good blossoming, discover things with Aquarina, and love each other. It is what elves think is the best for our mental development until adulthood. Though… don\'t overdo it or you may end like your uncle."
"Dully noted." I nodded.
BAAM!
Suddenly, the doors to the office opened.
"I heard you were talking about me so I have decided to boldly barge into the room!" My uncle, Arafunn said with a smile.
"Arafunn!" My mother said angrily. "Were you overhearing this conversation with my daughter?!"
"I-I just want to add a few things!" Arafunn sighed. "You\'re still too stiff with these types of things, Faylen…" My uncle facepalmed.
"Like what?" My mom sighed, crossing her arms.
"Well, you\'ve not asked her sexuality at all! And you haven\'t said that you approve of her having a girlfriend either. Can\'t you get she\'s trying to tell you that?"
"E-Eh? Y-You\'re already girlfriends?" My mother was slightly surprised. "I-I thought you were just asking me before… that."
"W-We haven\'t done anything you think we\'ve done… But Aquarina kind of already assumes we\'re\' in a relationship and I also want to, so yes… w-we are."
"Oh my…" My mother said. "T-Then should we celebrate this? What do humans do when they have girlfriends? Some sort of party too, right?"
"No dear there are no parties, it is just normal things, we celebrate weddings though, but I guess that\'s not happening any time soon." My father suddenly barged into the room as well.
"Dad?! W-Were you overhearing things too?!" I asked.
"Everything, hahaha." He laughed. "And you have all my support! I\'ve always knew you were into girls; I know that because my daughter always has good tastes. Women are really sexy, aren\'t they?"
"Yeah!" I said while raising my arms.
"T-That\'s not something normal to say to your daughter!" My mother reprimanded him.
"Hahaha, you two are hilarious." Arafunn laughed. "So anyways, Faylen, Allan? About the thing I just mentioned before?"
"Yeah?" I wondered.
"Sigh…" Both sighed at the same time, and then hugged me together.
"Of course you are allowed, Sylphy." My mother sighed. "Be happy, dear."
"No problem with me either! Enjoy your puberty." My father laughed.
Surprisingly, both were very open-minded. Maybe it is because we are a family that is always moving everywhere, and that had gone through so many hardships that it is not even possible to be close-minded anymore.
"So, if you ever feel like talking about these things, come to me any moment." My mother said with a thumbs up.
"Yep! Feel free." My father nodded. "In fact, I can give you some tips to conquer a girl\'s heart like I did with your mom."
"Really?" I wondered, feeling excited. My father was known as quite the gallantly mercenary before, so these tips might be useful.
"Allan don\'t teach our daughter your vulgar things!" My mother reprimanded him again.
Like that, things ended rather happily. I guess I am allowed to have a girlfriend now! Though I still need to know what Aquarina\'s parents think about this… It is never good to keep it a secret.
