↳ A CLOSER LOOK:

Fiorello was the result of another marital affair of Jack Clarington. Fi was born to a poor mother who just happened to be working at a shop that Jack frequented. One thing lead to another, and then nine months later, Fi was born as the product of only a few rounds of sex. His mother, Ava, didn’t want pity or anything rom the Clarington family, so she only let Jack know of the child after Fi was born in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. That’s where he ended up living for the first ten years of his life, before under the stress of her job and the bills, Ava gave Jack and Lillian a date and time to go to the bus station and lo and behold, there was Fiorello.

After that, Fio wasn’t going to hear from his mother again, not even in a birthday card. For the first year or so, Fio felt like a stranger in the Clarington household. He’d heard from his mom that his dad had children with his wife, but hadn’t even known their names up until the day he moved in. Lillian tried to help him adjust, by offering classes at the community center, trying to encourage him to go to after school activities, but not much worked until the child showed an interest in baking. Lillian used the cookbooks in the house to aid in the activities the two would have, and though the first few tries were…barely edible, it got better over time. Jack thought nothing of it, thinking that it would be an interest that would quickly be lost to the child, but that was hardly the case. Fio wanted to learn, and kept learning. Baking became a privilege. It happened only after homework was done, and only with supervision. It was mainly cupcakes and various types of cookies, and only near the end of middle school did it escalate to cakes and pies.

High school was a time of discovery, more than anything else. Fio wanted more ways to express himself and get more comfortable in his skin, so he’d go to thrift stores after school some days and on the first day that Fio tried on more…effeminate clothing, was one of the first times that his heart flipped at the sight of himself in the mirror. Fearing what the Claringtons would think, he purchased the outfit but would hide it, wearing only on the occasional trip to Little Rock with friends on the weekend, which would turn into hanging out at the LGBT youth center all day. Labels weren’t really something that was desired, but eventually Fiorello settled on labeling on as genderfluid. In their senior year they came out officially, meaning that they walked right past Lillian and Jack wearing a bright blue flowing skirt and waited until the end of the day after school for when the two sat them down to talk. It was slightly awkward, but positive all in all.

Once high school ended, they moved forward in life to go to college in Brinkley, using financial aid, picking up any job available, and in senior year, picking up a job at Patty’s Cakes and Confections, first as wait staff, before asking for and working for the job of pastry chef. Fio had continued baking all through school and their skills had advanced substantially, but with pastry school being so expensive, they managed to get by with being self-taught.

It was last October when Fiorello was contacted by his biological mothers parents. That was when he found out that she had died only a week prior, walking across the street when a driver decided to look down at her phone instead of at the street and had hit Fiorello’s mother. He vanished for a few days, only giving his work notice that he’d be gone. He spent a few days in Corpus Christi to see his grandparents and pay his respects, before returning him. Since then, his anxiety has been back almost as bad as it was in high school. In high school it was bad enough to need a therapist and medication, but by now, it’s just the medication that he needs anymore. After over a year, he still hasn’t told anybody, even his dad, that his mother died. He doesn’t necessarily even plan to tell anybody. Fio is normally a very positive and happy person, and isn’t about to take away how people see them.
