Red likes playing house. He dresses up carefully, slipping the long skirts and dresses over his body, and he holds elaborate tea parties with his stuffed pokémon. He likes dolls and doesn’t so much want to play war, even though he loves real pokémon. His mother, on the other hand, is dead and gone and has been for years.

Father comes home soon, and Red is waiting. He’s talented, and he knows it, because he can cook and clean, even though he’s still little. But it’s all right, he doesn’t mind staying here a little longer before going on his pokemon journey.

So he serves dinner, and Father laughs and praises him for being wonderful, and after dinner and a bath, they lie in bed together and he eagerly accepts Father’s kisses and caresses, because… there’s nothing wrong with them doing this.

It fits.

After all, he’s Mother, isn’t he now? And mothers and fathers do these things – they learned that in school. So he snuggles up close to Father, who he’s not brave enough to call Lance yet, and kisses him.

According to the incest book I picked up from the school library “INCEST: A treatment manual for therapy with victims, spouses and offenders” by Adele Mayer, often incest occurs because the ‘victim’ is driven into a maternal role and thus fulfills it, in and out of bed. ^^ Just thought I’d explain a bit.
