Chardre: The Inseparable

Officer Hady

'U two are dating?' Officer Hady said.

'Yes, we are.'

'Wow, ok, now, those names?'

'Cullen Rosen and Jacob Mally' Charlie said. '

'Thank you Charlie. Is there anything u guys need to tell me?'

'No sir!' We both replied in unison.

'Ok, that will be-'

He was interrupted by Ben as he walked in holding a tray loaded with food and some drink.

'Actually boys, there is something I need to talk about before I go.' He looked at us, then at Mum and Ben. 'An we have some privacy to talk about male homosexuality?'

'If ur gonna talk about being gay, then I better stay.' Ben said. Officer Hady had a look of shock for a few seconds.

'Ok then, may we be excused Ms. Devries?'

'Sure, be nice.' She said sternly then walked out of the room.

'Ok boys, r u all sure your gay?'

'Yes I am' I replied.

'99.99999999999999%' Charlie said.

'I'm pretty sure.' Ben said.

'OK, well, the first thing I've got to say, all though I'd say you all already know this, being gay is a difficult thing. I should know....'

'Ur gay?'

'No, I'm not, but my son is, he's 25. I've seen him almost hospitalised in a fight at a bar. It was shocking, but I must say this is worse by a long shot.'

'Oh.'

'But boys. I don't really want to do this, but I think I should. You guys know the laws?'

'I think so'

'I'm pretty sure I do'

'I think'

'Good, anyways, it is ILLEGAL to have any kind of sex, oral, or penetral (idek what it's 'official' name is) until you are 16, and you have to have consent from the person you are doing it with. Am I clear?'

'Yes, Sir!'

'Now, what I came here to talk you about really is, do you think there should be a LGBT club?'

'Sure'

'Not really'

'No'

'Hahahahaha, ok then, but it is something I'm working on, there are LGBT people that have been kicked out and that aren't really accepted by their families and then there is people who end up like Leo, what I want to do is get a group organised, or even just a room that's always open for LGBT members to hang out, and meet eachother.'

'Oooooooh, put that way then yes.'

'Now you say it, yes.'

'Mmmmm'

'Ok boys, I will get onto it. But for now, remember the laws, and follow them.'

'Yes sir!' We chorused again.

'OK boys, I'm gonna go now, but here's my card.' He pulled out 5 cards. 'I want you to take one each and give on to ur parents each ok?'

'Ok, we will.' Ben said. Officer Hady walked out and few seconds later mum walked in.

'What was that about boys?'

'He just reminded us of the legal age and said he wanted to start up some sort of LGBT club or house thing.'

'OK boys. Well, I'm going to have some food, and Leo, in sorry, but ur stuck with slop although I did get you some milkshakes, yes, I got u a few.' She put my bed into a more upright position and turned around to the side table, where the food was.

'Now do you want me to hold it for you, or someone else?'

'I'll hold it Ms. Devries.' Charlie said. 'I've had some food already. You are a break and I'll do it. I need some practice at moving around anyway.'

'Ok Charlie. But say if you need any help.'

'I will.' He turned to me. 'Do u want...Banana or....vanilla?'

'Banana please' I whispered.

'Ok.' He poked up the milkshake a little wobbly, but fixed it. He brought it up so the straw was in my mouth as u started drinking. He was standing and I could see he was swaying a bit.

'Do u want to sit down Charlie? You look a bit wonky.' I whispered to him.

'No Dre, it's fine.' He looked strong enough to continue, so I let him.

'OK'
