Billy sat there; he had leaned back in his desk chair and the words almost made him
fall over. He came crashing forward, his feet thumping hard on the carpet,
startling his Dad.
How the hell, it was unreal. Mike told his parents? Oh God, no wonder he had been so
unhappy last week, and so tired looking. Damn it, why hadn’t he told him
that he came out to them? Oh
Shit, no wonder his Mom was pissed.
“Uh, what do you mean he told them about us?”
“He told them he was involved with you sexually.”
“Oh.”
“OH? Is that all you can say? Oh.”
“Well, no, I guess I could say more, it is just well, I don’t know, it sort of
happened and well, we really care for each other dad, it isn’t like we are
just fuck buddies.”
“Billy… how do you know that isn’t all it is?”
“I know, that is all, I know.”
He had a defiant air about him. Billy stared at his father sitting on the bed, his blue
eyes sparking with deep hues of blue as he spoke and then simply stared.
Too bad Mike hadn’t warned him, but at least it was out in the open now, and at least
he knew now why Mike had been so elusive and distant these last few weeks.
Billy’s father sat there, staring at his son and the pain in his heart grew as he saw
the eyes flashing their defiance at him. He had seen that look before, long
ago when he and Taylor had gotten into it, and Billy had come racing to his
brother’s defense. Now he was standing up for his own situation.
“Well Mike’s mother doesn’t seem to think it is something more.”
“That’s her problem, I know it isn’t a sex thing, so does Mike, we have talked
about this.”
