>Toriel has a problem
>And she is trying to be a good mother
>But it is hard not to feel like a failure when your son turns out like... that
>She tries not to take it personally, the worst case is that this is just a phase
>Well... the worst case it that this is NOT a phase
>Toriel tries to push it to the back of her mind and thinks of grabbing a cup of wine
>Then walks into her home where the two lovers are making out on her couch
>Toriel lets out a deep 'ahem'
>Noel instantly stands up straight, a bad habit because his bulging erection is struggling under his trousers
>She scowls
>"Noel, could you please step into the kitchen, I need need to speak with Kris"
>He sputters and agrees, complying
>Kris already knew he was going to get a talking to
>So he sat and waited
>Noel felt bad, he's the one who insisted on making out
>He sat in the kitchen and tried to listen in
>"Kris, I know you like him, but I do not want these kind of relations in the house"
>His boyfriend is too quiet to hear
>"It is not that, it is that you are... too young for these things"
>Okay, that isn't bad
>Toriel's always been a traditionalist, not wanting her son in a relationship is normal
>"I would still be against it if he was a girl"
>"Kris, just, please understand"
>He raises his voice, not enough that Noel can hear, but more audible
>"Do not bring your father into this, I am sure his influence can be traced back into your behavior"
>Behavior? Kris doesn't get into trouble
>He's a great student
>'Behavior' must mean Noel
>"Just keep it out of the house and I will not say anything about it, that is all"
>Noel tries to stop listening but it just escalates
>It's not stuff he hasn't heard before
>Hell, he's heard it from his mother's jabs on more than one occasion
>Hearing it from Toriel is just salt on a raw, open wound
>Someone grabs his wrist
>Kris leads him
>"I'm taking him into my room so we can talk about our HAPPY RELATIONSHIP"
>He rubs Noel's back and tries to comfort him

>Noel was upset, obviously
>Thankfully he's not sobbing, he's not soft, but his brows are furrowed and his eyes are downcast
>He just thought that this was a safe place
>"She's upset that I like guys"
>Well he could hear that part
>"I didn't think she was like that, I mean we've been dating for over a year now, I thought she would have said something by now"
>He knows his mother hasn't been shy about her opinion
>Kris shrugs and says it's the first time she caught them doing something scandalous
>And it doesn't help that he keeps showing off his girth
>That gets a laugh out of Noel
>"It's not my fault faha! There's only so many places I can put the damn thing"
>Kris says it's going to be okay, she just needs to cool down
>At least their dads are cool about it
>"Yeah, I'm sure your dad gets around"
>Kris must have been ready for that one
>"I'd say the same about your dad, but"
>Noel slugs his boyfriend's arm
>"Low blow dude"
>They share a laugh, it's going to be okay
>Toriel should lay off the chardonnay, she's just getting more upset
>Kris's words cut her
>Failed wife, failed mother, just a failure of a woman
>She never knew that he thought of her like that
>Now he was in his room, probably laughing at her inabilities
>She could kick his gay boyfriend out in the cold
>Tell Clarice Holiday all about their gay escapades
>Not that it would achieve anything
>The mayor already knows about them which is why the boys do their sinful deeds here
>Toriel shouldn't tolerate this!
>She calls the deer mother
>"Clarice, can you please come to the house and pick up your son?"
