Charlie's POV
I smile saying "Adam." He says "hm?" I say "nothing" us just sitting in comfortable silence. Then this man starts singing as he does. God, I love it.

"But when the lights go down and we move the couch, It's gonna be more than enough. For my two left feet and our two hearts beatin,' nobody's gonna see us go crazy. So baby, why don't we just dance? Down the hall, maybe straight up the stairs. Bouncing off the wall, floating on air, baby, why don't we just dance?"

I smile, just listening to him, and I closes my eyes. I mumble "I wish you were here." Adam says "I know, babe. I wish I was there with you."

Then I hear a loud crash.

I say "Adam?" He says "Tyler, get the hell out of my room. I swear to god." I giggle and he says "you stop giggling at me." I smile and I hear an "oh no, you're gonna catch this bisexuality. Mom and dad are gonna kill you like they want to kill me." Adam says "they only keep you around because your gay ass is a Harvard graduate." I laugh saying "and they keep your gay ass cause you're gonna go to the NHL?"

Adam says "my ass is not gay, yours is." Tyler says "who are you talking to?" Adam says "in my defense, if you keep your socks on it doesn't count." I mumble "your socks were off, babe." I hear Tyler say "I told myself that from age seventeen to age twenty three. Talk to me" whining. Adam chuckles saying "my brother wants to get emotional. I'll talk to you tomorrow, sunshine." I smile saying "ok, cya, stud."

He says "stop it" chuckling and I say "bye, Adam." He says "bye, sunshine" and hangs up.

Adam's POV
My brother, Tyler, says "so, anyone new in your life?" I say "we are not talking about my nonexistent love life right now." I'm not going to tell him, maybe coming out to him will shut him up. I'm not gonna do it to shut him up but it might feel good to tell someone. Tyler says "what's up with you? You seem withdrawn or something. I worry about you ya know."

I say "I know. I've been keeping a secret from you, can you keep it?" He nods swiftly saying "of course, that's practically my job, dude. What's up?"

I say "I'm bisexual."

Tyler hugs me saying "I'm glad you told me. Are you going to tell mom and dad?" I say "no, I'm not brave like you." He pulls away gasping and saying "you did catch the bisexual" making me gasp saying "it's all your fault." We laugh and I say "why haven't I met your guy yet? We've been hearing all about him and mom and dad are so mad about it but I really want to know now."

Tyler says "he's literally gorgeous. He's a forensic pathologist. We met in school and he's coming over tomorrow." I say "bro, do you have a picture?" Tyler says "I'm not showing you, you'll meet him tomorrow." I chuckle saying "fine. Tell me more." Tyler says "he's cool, you'll like him. I'm thinking about proposing but if you don't like him just say the word. You see things that I don't. I would appreciate your insight."

I say "I'll let you know but he sounds nice and like you love him." Tyler says "who were you talking to on the phone?" I say "I'm not telling you." Tyler says "fine. I'm hungry. I'm going to make pizza rolls." I say "make me some too" going with him to the kitchen. I take my sweatshirt off and throw it over a chair and I look down.

I squint then I smell the shirt. I say "grabbed my roommates shirt again." Tyler says "they were roommates." I say "used to be my roommate" chuckling at his joke. Tyler says "how'd you get your room moved?" I say "got put on varsity, so I got moved to the dorm with all the varsity kids instead of being in the same dorm with my friends."

Tyler says "that's awful. I would never. I would raise hell." I say "you don't get it" quietly. Tyler says "you are for sure down bad for this roommate guy." I say "no" rolling my eyes. Tyler says "any new gossip?" I say "Guy and Connie are for sure dating. They aren't saying anything but they're always holding hands and shit."

Tyler says "that's cute" smiling. Tyler says "you are for sure down bad for someone, I can tell. You're like glowing. You look different." I say "yeah, I am. For god." He laughs saying "simping for Jesus?"

I say "I'm too tired for this cracked conversation" us laughing. Tyler says "me too." We eat then we go to our rooms and go to sleep.

The next day

I wake up and shower, going downstairs to see no one. Mom and dad work Sundays, that's right. I watch cartoons cause I'm five years old till I hear a knock on the door. I open it saying "hi?" This guy, who is pretty attractive, says "is Tyler around?" I say "who's asking?" The guy says "uh, a friend?" I say "no, he's not here."

The guy says "stop fucking with me, his car is in the driveway." I say "I'm gonna believe you aren't some weirdo and let you come in but if I'm wrong, you are dead." He says "understood" coming in. I go up to Tyler's room, him still asleep, and I then go back to my room to grab an air horn.

I blast it loudly in his room and he says "what the fuck, Adam?!" I say "some guy is here for you. He says you're his friend." Tyler gets up and says "I'm getting in the shower, go make friends." I say "is he the guy?" Tyler says "yes, he's the guy, you idiot" hitting my shoulder and I say "ok, rude. You better hurry cause I'm awkward."

Tyler says "maybe I'll be slow as hell just for you to suffer!" I go down the stairs saying "fuck you!" Tyler says "I hope you suffer?" I say "I hope your gay ass rots in hell!" Tyler says "right back at you, Adam!" I say "that was kind of mean, I'm sorry!" Tyler says "my feelings aren't hurt!"
