Something New - [Carl Gallagher x Male OC]

Nine

"Sounds like an asshole.", Mickey said after Carl told Ian and Mickey about his night. After the party was over Jack came over to the Gallagher's household. He didn't feel well from the drinks he had and it was obvious to Carl that Jack normally didn't drink excessively.

Jack was laying on Carl's bed, sleeping. Carl gave Ruby a call to not make her worry and as they entered the room Ian and Mickey sat on the ground playing some kind of drinking game.

Carl didn't join the game but he chattered with them.

"Tell me the address, I'll come over and teach him some fucking manners." Mickey said.

"There's no need to." Carl said. "I think I taught him enough of a lesson today."

"You're too nice, man." Mickey laughed. "If I were you I would've called your prisoner friends over to him."

"Nah, I'm not that kind of person anymore." Carl said. "I just hope his girlfriend will break up with him. He deserves it."

Ian nodded and signaled towards Carl's bed. "Who even is that guy?"

"Jack." Carl replied.

Mickey laughed. "You're so tone deaf."

"What?" Ian asked.

"You didn't figure it out yet?"

Ian titled his head.

"You can be so stupid sometimes. Why do you think your brother here put so much effort into defending gay dudes."

"Because he's not an asshole?"

Now Carl started to grin and continued, "Jack's my boyfriend."

"Oh," Ian said. "Makes sense."

"What do you mean with 'makes sense'?" Carl asked. It's almost as if he had to relieve the last three hours but this time it's the opposite with someone saying that it makes sense that Carl's into dudes.

Mickey slapped Ian on the shoulder.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Ian said. "It's just... remember when you asked me what it felt like to suck dick?"

Carl totally forgot that he ever asked. "No?" he said.

"That was like two years ago. I was sitting on my bed and you bitched about some kind of school project and then all of a sudden you asked me what it felt like to suck dick. No straight guy would ever ask that."

Carl thought about it and as he remembered his face turned red. Sometimes he was just too blunt.

"I remember. I talked with you about a history project." Carl said. "I've never finished it. The teacher couldn't even grade me."

"The history project isn't the point here." Ian said. "Whatever. That's good. Be gay."

"I also like girls." Carl corrected.

"So you're what, bi?"

"Yeah, I guess."

Carl could see that Ian wanted to say something else but he didn't. Instead he started to talk about something else.

"Or when you asked me where wieners go during gay sex."

"He asked that?" Mickey laughed. "Oh, man."

"I was like 8! I was just curious."

"Curious about gay sex?"

Carl turned to Mickey. "You must know, I used to be a curious kid."

"Very curious." Ian said and looked back to Jack. "How did you two meet?"
