Gerard moves in with his new roommate. But, why does Gerard feel so homophobic when Frank starts to bring boys home? He's never had a history of acting this way before. Could it be? No.

The weather outside was atrocious. Claps of thunder echoed off the tall buildings. Rain pelted the window panes. It kept Frank and I in. Grumble. I checked the time. 7:00. I figured it was time for dinner. My stomach seemed to agree. If I can remember correctly we have enough groceries for an actual meal. When was the last time I went grocery shopping? Two days ago. Yeah, I could make dinner for Frank and I. With a pep in my walk I exit my room. "Hey, Frank, do you want-" oh my lord, he is a crying pile of blankets on the couch, "What's wrong?"
He looked at me, startled. "G-Gee! I thought you were asleep!"
Oh, how you can see him searching frantically for an excuse. "Frank," I stare at him stone-faced, "It's 7:00."
His expression turned from panic to one of defeat. "I was binge watching Craig Roberts movies and The Fundamentals of Caring got to me."
"Who's Craig Roberts?"
"He's this actor. I know it's a random person to binge out on. I just saw him in something and I thought, 'What more can this guy do?'" As he's recalling how this odd predicament came to be, he traces the shape of an arch with his hand. I suppose to show wonderment, but in reality it makes him look like a dork.
"Fun, fun. " I stare at the floor to get my memory jogging. Apparently, witnessing your roommate crying over a movie gets your mind off track. "Oh, I can make dinner, if you want."
"We have a more pressing matter at hand, my dear Gerard." Frank attempted (and failed) to imitate a heroic character from a 50's movie.
I decided to comply and played to damsel, "What's that, Frank?" My voice was airy and high pitched. I totally sounded like a chick.
His features turned serious as he turned to me, "I'm gay."
"Are you gay for Craig Roberts?" I meet his bluntness with a lighthearted comment.
His nose crumpled in a playful frustration, "Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah. But, why Craig? There are so many actors out there."
