Charlotte laughs while helping me not die. “W-where did you hear about that?” I ask, my face red. “Well my friends were talking about it. Said they found these books in a comic shop.” I sigh. I mean it’s not surprising they are thirteen now. Almost fourteen. “She was asking if you were a top or bottom.” I rub my face.

“Is there a top or bottom in normal sex. They said it’s normally talked about for gays. “Do I really have to explain this to you?” I rub my face. “Yep. I promised more information.” Charlotte giggles. Aaron just smirks at me while Nole ignores us and Roberts continues eating. “Okay what do you know about it?” I ask, wanting to know what they need.

“We know that normally the bottoms are smaller, and the tops are bigger. Like stronger or whatever. At least that’s how it is in the books.” I mean, I guess that’s somewhat true. “Okay is that it?” “Yep. Explain.” I hum, holding up my finger so I can have water. “So, you know how boys and girls have sex?” “Yes. I have had sex-ed.” She rolls her eyes.

“Right, well when two gays have sex, the top is the one pleasuring and the bottom is being pleasured. I mean both are happy?” That sounded much less perverted in my mind. “Wait so how do two guys have sex. Most guys don’t have vaginas?” I blush even more. “Okay so uhm… well… oh fuck it. The easiest way is that you get fucked in the ass. I mean you clean and shit, but you essentially get fucked in the ass if you are a bottom and the top does the fucking.” I say as fast as possible.

Roberts looks up, visibly confused. “OHHHHHHH.” Rose mumbles. I groan, my face flaming. “Rose asked Damien how gay sex works.” Aaron is visibly trying to hold in the tears threatening to spill out and he’s holding his stomach since it hurts from laughing. “Oh yes because I’m supposed to give the talks.” I cross my arms, glaring at the entire table.

Nole because he’s an asshole. Roberts snorts. “Yes lets ask him how masturbation-“ I tackle Charlotte. “NO. WE WILL NOT.” I shout in a panic. “Right there is a gay panicking in the wild.” I groan, rolling off her. “Have you had sex?” Rose questions. “I’m not confirming nor denying.” I grumble, sitting up. “Can we please move on?” I beg.

“See, if he was straight, he’d most likely have a boner since he was so close to my lady bits.” Charlotte winks at Rose. “I swear.” I grumble, covering my flaming face. “But alas he is a gay, so he likes it up the ass.” The blush travels to my neck and ears. “You sure he’s gay? He’s blushing.” Aaron taunts. “I know for a fact I am gay.” I mumble. “How do you know?” Rose questions.

“Because I like guys. It’s always been a nagging feeling but then I reacted to uhmm… some stuff and I figured out I was gay. End of story time.” I clap my hands, standing up. Rose giggles, running off. “I think it’s funny.” Aaron grins, slinging his arm around my neck. “I think it’s not something my little sister needs to hear about.” I groan as Charlotte shows me pictures of my red face.

“See nothing turns me on.” Aaron declares. “Yes. We have both changed naked in front of you. Multiple times.” Charlotte grumbles. “Two gays and one who doesn’t love.” I giggle, flopping on the couch. “Yes, so funny to your messed-up brain.” “Hey, we all have messed up brains.” I whine. We spend the next couple minutes going over stuff for school tomorrow before heading off to bed. Well they head off to bed. I stay put, not wanting to see Nole’s face again today. “I only saw it once and that’s enough.” I whisper, sitting on the couch. I’ll take a shower tomorrow.

“Huh?” I mumble, hearing the floorboards creak. Nole peers down at me, confusion etched on his face. “Why are you sleeping here tonight?” I narrow my eyes. “I thought you would like it so my gay disease wouldn’t get onto you.” I sneer.

“I-“ “Now now, am I being to judgmental? Well I mean it’s only fair since you judged me before hearing my side of the story. Oh wait, you are a dickhead so I mean maybe you can’t understand me.” Nole grits his teeth. “I was going to say sorry.” I roll my eyes. “Oh yes, because almost beating me to a pulp and then saying sorry a week later is gonna fix everything.”

“I was knocked out. You know, not everyone loves you. You are an asshole and I won’t fall for anything like that. I know to much is at stake for me to get taunted even more by the whole class for ‘befriending’ you and then a dumb, hurtful, and spiteful prank is played on me. So, save your empty apologies. Save your ‘I want everyone to like me’ façade. Save it for someone who can’t see through it.”

Nole stares at me. “Now I understand truly why Jack hates you. You are a shitty brother.” I shake my head, smirking. “Jack, Jack is not my brother. He’s a homophobic prick who has knocked me countless times just for fun. So, don’t say we are related. Good day sir, don’t talk to me again.” Nole just turns, storming off to his room.

Let’s just say I wasn’t going to sleep tonight.
