For once, Koda was glad his mom wasn't home or she'd question him for hours about him rudeness during a lesson. He sunk to the floor of the bathroom, running both of his hands through his hair at once. come on tiny brain, work! he yelled at himself and slowly it started to function again. A few minutes passed and he was working his way past the censorship part of the speech when he suddenly went still.

"Why do you think we are so active now?" We.....

The revelation would have floored Koda if he weren't already sitting. Declan was gay. Even his tiny brain could understand that. What should he do? nothing. It wasn't like he could do anything about it. He shouldn't suddenly freak out and throw Declan out....right? It didn't matter....right? He wasn't really sure about it. But it didn't mean anything! Just because Declan was gay didn't mean anything in relation to him so he should just keep his mouth shut and pretend he didn't hear it.

finally settled on his choice of action, Koda slipped out of the bathroom and slowly made his way back to the table. He realized a bit too late that he should have looked in the mirror and fixed his hair. He shook his head to let it fall more naturally and finally gave up. He sat back down, never making eye contact with Declan.

"U-um...what were we talking about?" he asked in a small voice.
