His dad snarled in anger at us. At this point I had not one ounce of bravery left in my system so I just ran into the most secure place I could find. Within the next several moments I listened to them argue back and forth, the sound was very faint in-between the paint-peeled walls but I could tell they were upset. I had to prepare for the worst, so I packed up my belongings and retreated to my safety-spot. After the shouting ceased, Kevin entered his room with his parents to find a shy canine hiding with his tail between his legs. Along with him followed his parents. He gave his dad a minor punch in the arm and said you tell him.\n\nJim: Chase I'm sorry that snapped at you back there, I was just not in a good mood earlier.\n\nJim: When your only son tells you he isn't going to be cultivating the family tree, it can be a burden on your heart.\n\n\u0026nbsp;Jim approached me, knelt down and put his paw on my shoulder.\n\nJim: my son told me about what happened to you the last few times you came out.\n\nJim: I'll try my best to understand you two.  \nChase: really?\n\nJim: yup.\n\n\u0026nbsp;I licked him on his snout to show my gratitude, then I took his hand as he pulled me out of the closet. Jim hugged me and it was a strange feeling, I've never been hugged by my dad so I guess it was just the sudden shock of the tension.\n\nJim: We're your new family so don't be afraid to come to us for help.  \nJim: I've heard you haven't the best of luck recently  \nChase: nope.  \nJim: so Robert kicked you out of the house for being gay?  \nChase: yes sir.  \nJim: hmm I guess you don't have many places to stay.\n\nI felt comfortable with them, that is until they gave us \"the talk\".\n\nI loved the fact that we could hug and kiss in public now, it was the main thing we did most of the summer.\n\nChase: hey Kev, I didn't know you had videogames.  \nKevin: yeah I used to play them with my brother until he passed away.  \nKevin: they just didn't seem too fun with just 1 player.  \nChase: well If you want to hook it up I'm more than willing to  \nKevin: I'm not really ready yet but you can play if you want to  \nChase: what? and miss my daily cuddle session with my favorite fox\n\nWe just lay snug in each others grasp for the rest of the night.\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Inner Struggle","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/157160-inner-struggle-chapter-7-the-shocker.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/161079-inner-struggle-chapter-9-prom-nite.json"}}
