( finn doesn't get annoyed very often but at this moment, he is a little annoyed with his mother. she spends seventeen years of his life in another realm and decides to steal him away because he hadn't immediately introduced his boyfriend to her? it's just not very nice!

he had been speaking to her while yuri got cleaned up and changed, expressing his annoyance in the only way finn knows how: gentle chiding. but he had hoped he got the point across. a message would've sufficed or something!

no onger huffy, now he's worried for other reasons, worried that he's broken yuri's trust in him, worried that this might end what has otherwise been smooth sailing since the first confession had been made. this is his first love and first relationship and he's very reluctant to let that go, even if it was his fault for not being so upfront about himself. he sits across from yuri, sipping and frowning around his glass of tea.
)

Well, that's all you. And us!

( with a wobble in his voice, ) I'm sorry, Yuri.

​(finn hangs his head like a scolded puppy. this should be a happy occasion! the island is beautiful, the weather balmy and breezy. the flowers have begun to glow around them. finn takes a deep breath. ​)

I know. I know ...

I just — this is my first relationship ever and I wasn't sure how long anything would last. Maybe you'd find someone kind of at your speed? More than I was at least. I didn't know, Yuri. I'm sorry. And then — ​​( he looks up, tears prickling at the corners of his eyes. ​) You said you loved me and it was like a dream and all I could think of was being brave enough to tell you I loved you back.

​(he rubs at his pink nose with the long hem of his sleeve before staring into his glass pathetically. ​) I couldn't ever figure out the right time to say more. I know it's not a good excuse but it's what I've got. But you deserve more than than from me, Yuri.

( finn sniffs again before tentatively smiling when yuri takes his hand. okay, they're not breaking up today. )

She's still getting to know you, but it seems to be a good impression so far! How could she not like you? You did great, all things considered. ( he assures him, his voice at a regular volume. )

I asked her to stop spying on me and to just... come over or send someone if she wants to see me. ( finn wrinkles his nose. ) I only met her a few years ago, so! I guess we're still figuring things out. She's never really had to be a mom before.

( yuri did at least learn that finn was from a fling his dad had, though neither of them had mentioned who the paramour had been. )

( now relieved that yuri has forgiven him, finn purses his lips thoughfully. )

I am happy about it. I always imagined what kind of lady my mom was! But I always accepted the fact that my dad just lost touch with her. I mean, he wanted to raise me and everything!

( he bumps their heads together gently, a small smile on his face now. ) I think she's trying and I can't be mad at that either. I just have to do better and speak up more. With everyone! I found her by accident, you know? But I think she was also ready to look for me too. And when she did, I found out that everything I thought i imagined and all the stuff my teachers said I imagined was real.

​( finn nods, comforted by yuri's touch. ​)

I was still in high school and I always wandered. I mean, I still do, but I kind of forgot to go to school sometimes. Which is why I was in cram school before college. But I always saw things I guess other people couldn't see! It turns out I was seeing nature spirits and stuff. They're hidden from regular people usually.

​( he smiles again, giggling. ​) My mom liked my dad so much she disguised herself as a human to get to know him for one night. But I'm — half tree spirit. I'm not really powerful or anything but that is why plants and animals like me a lot. It's kind of hard explaining all that to someone so ... academic. ​​(finn grins sheepishly, squeezing yuri's hand. it's a lot and he has to take a deep breath after saying all that, but finally, finally he feels less burdened than before. ​)

Um. Well, yes! She tends to know what happens if I don't answer her calls for a few days.

​(finn's lips twist awkwardly. he normally doesn't mince words but he doesn't think his boyfriend will be especially happy about his answer. ​)

I think... everyone. Like, Ry, Bren, Neon, Yejun, Woojin ... ​​( a nervous laugh. hoo, boy. he takes a long drink of his tea. ​)

Please don't be mad at them, though! It's kind of expected to respect the secret.

​(yuri and jasper had been the last to join their nebulous friend group but they have all gotten quite close over a short period of time. but then again, finn and yuri are nearly at a year as a couple, so. there aren't too many excuses in this case.

finn holds yuri's hands between both of his and looks at him unwaveringly this time. he owes him more honesty so he just hopes the rest will forgive him.
​)

There's a lot that we've all kind of grown up keeping secret! Because you never know how someone will treat you, you know ...?

Um. Yejun can, ah. See the future in different ways. And Woojin is a fae. And his dad apparently knew my mom before. Jasper is a siren. ​

​(maybe he should be broken up with for keeping all that hidden... ​)

Um. Yes.

​(finn wants to cry all over again because yuri's laugh isn't exactly full of mirth. except he doesn't. instead, he releases yuri's hand ever so gently and rests both of his hands over his knees. ​)

Jasper didn't know until last month or something? It was really recent. And he only knows because Woojin sensed he wasn't human. And Neon only knows because he loves Jasper! ​​(is that one a secret? no one really talks about that as far as finn knows, but it's pretty obvious to him. they're always so close! ​)

I can ... if you have any questions? Or I can go. ​​( lay down in a ditch somewhere probably. ​)

Yeah... Just about!

​( he's perched on the very edge of the seat now, watching yuri almost fearfully. processing is good. right? ​)

Ry and Bren have been my neighbors for a few years and they know mostly because their cat seems to listen to me! Actually I kind of knew her first. So.

And they went to school with Neon and the rest! Oh, and Yejun's dad – not the actor. He talks to ghosts? So that's another one. Um.

​(there is more on the edges of the group but he'll ease yuri into that later. ​) I don't think anyone leaves anyone out on purpose. I didn't know about the others for over a year. ​​(mostly because his observation skills aren't the sharpest but. ​)

( finn exhales too, all too happy to hop to his feet and take his hand. )

We can sleep over if you like it here and go back in the morning, too. Whatever you want! I think there are little beach shacks we can borrow. ( the sun has begun its slow descent under the deep blue, almost purple ocean, painting it in streaks of orange. the bioluminescent flora have begun to glow brighter in response to change in light. )

We can pass by the little village and make our way through back to the beach too. ( he leans in to kiss yuri's cheek. ) You look pretty here, you know. ( his mom must have known what clothes would suit yuri before even meeting him. )

( yuri is mad but he still accepted the kiss and that is more than finn could ask for at this point. he briefly stoops to pick up a fallen blossom, glowing and blue this time, to once again tuck it behind yuri's ear. )

I think it moves a little slower... in a way. It will still be morning at home if we leave here tomorrow morning, if that makes sense. People know we've left but it won't feel like we've been gone for a super long time. Weird magic, right? ( he wrinkles his nose, giggling. ) I'm still age like a human! My dad is real!

I think these are yours! ​​(well, finn hopes yuri keeps them. he looks extra pretty in island clothes. ​) You could wear stuff like this more, though...

​( he giggles, tentatively flirty in hopes of making yuri smile with it. they reach another clearing and finn's smile grows as he points through the trees. ​)

Look at that sunset...

Oh —

​(finn blushes. his heart feels full and while he knows that yuri is still upset with him, he allows himself to have a sense of hope that things between them can eventually be repaired. ( he did, after all, out half all their mutual friends and some parents. ) ​)

I've never liked being cooped up for long and I guess this is part of why. I just ... feel better being outside and that's why I wanted to spend all that time with you there.

​( he watches yuri's face for a moment. ​)

Can I kiss you now, Yuri?
