Ryan quietly pushed open the door to his niece Millie's bedroom, intending to check in on her before heading to bed himself. But what he found instead made him do a double take. There, sprawled out on her stomach with her bare bottom on display, was Millie, completely engrossed in a book.
"Hey Uncle Ryan, I was just reading about how people in ancient Greece used to exercise naked. Isn't that funny?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at him with a mischievous grin.
Ryan cleared his throat, trying to keep his cool as he averted his eyes. "Millie, that is pretty funny. But you should probably put some clothes on."
Millie pouted, sticking out her lower lip in a exaggerated pout. "But Uncle Ryan, I thought you liked looking at boys' bodies. I'm just trying to make you happy."
Ryan took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. "Millie, I do like looking at boys' bodies, but you're my niece and it's not appropriate for me to see you like this."
Millie rolled over onto her back, propping herself up on her elbows as she looked at Ryan with a determined expression. "Fine, I'll put some clothes on. But Uncle Ryan, I still want to be your boyfriend. I know it's weird, but I don't care. I just want to be with you."
Ryan shook his head, trying to find the right words to explain. "Millie, I appreciate the sentiment, but it's just not possible. I'm gay, and I can't be in a relationship with you."
Millie's face lit up with a mischievous glint. "I know you're gay, Uncle Ryan. But what if I pretend to be a boy for you? Then we can be together."
Ryan's eyes widened in shock. "Millie, that's not a good idea. You're too young to understand what that means."
Millie crossed her arms over her chest, stubborn as ever. "I'm not too young, Uncle Ryan. I know what sex is. I learned about it in school."
Ryan couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Millie, that's great that you learned about it in school. But trust me, you're not ready for that yet."
Millie stuck out her tongue. "Oh come on, Uncle Ryan, don't be such a prude. I bet you're just scared that I'll be better at it than your boyfriends."
Ryan chuckled, ruffling Millie's hair. "Millie, you're definitely not going to be better at it than my boyfriends. But I appreciate the confidence."
Millie pouted again, sticking out her lower lip. "Fine, Uncle Ryan. I won't pretend to be a boy for you. But can we at least cuddle and watch a movie together?"
Ryan smiled, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Millie's head. "Of course, Millie. I'd love to cuddle and watch a movie with you. But remember, I'm your uncle and I love you no matter what."
