Alumni Reunion

Type goes to an alumni reunion at his high school to please Techno
He meets people he hasn't spoken to in a long time, and who all think he is still homophobic?
All of them? With a few exceptions.

*************************

Type was in the canteen of his former high school; some former students had decided to organize a reunion for the alumni of their class. He wondered what he was doing there, he had never been close to anyone here, because of his explosive temperament. The only exception was Techno, Type would never understand how he could be friends with him at that time.

Speaking of Techno, it was because of him that he was there. Techno, already in high school and even in middle school was a butterfly in terms of sociability, he knew almost everyone. It was through him that he had received the invitation and if he hadn't begged him to come with him, he wouldn't have come, not even for a second. However, now he was there, the meeting had started at 6pm, and it was only 6.30pm, Type was surprised by the information he thought that at least 1 hour had passed, the time was passing slowly and Techno was nowhere in sight.

Type retrieved a beer, self-service on one of the tables and a small oven and headed outside. He went to a corner, a small courtyard, where he used to go regularly when he was still a student in the school, few people went here, even Techno. The only person he had ever seen in that corner was a "friend" who accompanied him in his fights, his name was Pete. He liked to fight back then, Type wondered what had become of him, they hadn't kept in touch after high school, and he hadn't seen him tonight.

When he arrived near the courtyard, Type heard noises as if two people were talking. No wonder people found the place, Type thought to himself. He was about to turn around when he saw a silhouette in the courtyard, Pete's silhouette. Who could he have brought here? Curiosity gripped Type, and he approached, trying to make as little noise as possible.

The voice said something to Type, but he couldn't recognize it, and he couldn't see the second person yet. It was a boy's voice.

"Yes, at the time it was just me and... Type who used to come here", that was Pete's voice, it had got deeper over the years. Why didn't they want to be seen?

"You are telling me that the other person who knows about this place is the most homophobic person in the school. If he ever finds us, he's going to...", Type got a little closer to find out who the second person was. With the darkness, he had a little trouble recognizing him, but finally, he put a name on the person in front of him: Kao. He must have been terrifying at the time for Kao to be so afraid of him. From what he saw of his musculature, Type thought that Kao could very well defend himself.

" He won't do anything to you. I didn't even see him at the party. And maybe he's changed, who knows, I hope. Even if he hasn't changed, I will protect you. We were almost friends at one time, I know a little about what Techno used to say to him to calm him down", Pete's voice was calm, he seemed to have matured since high school.

Type saw the two of them hugging each other before kissing. He wouldn't like anyone to interrupt him with Tharn at one moment like that. As discreetly as possible, Type went back to Techno. If he couldn't be in his corner, he might as well find some pleasant company with his best friend.

He was talking to Techno when a girl came up to them, it was Type's ex, Pam had been dating for a year, the year of Première. She was the only girl he had ever slept with. From what he remembered, it had been good but not really fantastic, not like with Tharn ... Had he thought about how he slept with his boyfriend, in the middle of an alumni reunion? No need to answer the question.
