Love Lost

Chapter 5

Joffrey cleared his throat "Young master, we have to get going. You have breakfast with your father soon and you're not in dressed." I looked at him as he entered the room and walked to my closet prepping my clothes for the day. Joffrey didn't at all even seem to be phased by what had taken place.
    "Joffrey, did you see anything?" I asked. He grabbed the ironing board and placed my shirt on it and began his normal duties.
    Master Michael, all I can see is that you're attempting to awake your roommate when you should be headed towards the shower getting ready to get dressed afterwards." I smiled at the remark and headed out the room towards the shower area after grabbing my things and low and behold Derek was following right behind me.
    "I take it you're gonna shower too?" Derek looked at me sleepily as he nodded and gave me a thumbs up. He didn't seem like much of a morning person from what I could see but I figured in his mind since he's been woken up he might as well get up.
    "Good morning Master Michael, I hope you shower well." Derek said mockingly. He had a way of getting on my nerves at the most random times. We arrived at the shower area and Derek opened the door and I followed behind him.
    "Derek I have a question, if you don't mind." He stopped and turned around and smiled lightly.
    "Ask away" I didn't know how to ask him, and I wasn't sure if asking him would cause problems between us but if I'm gonna live with him I have the right to know or at least I felt that way. Uncertain I cleared my throat and decided to ask.
    "Derek how long have you been...you know" He looked at me slightly confused as he began to undress and turn on the shower.
    "How long have I been what?" I figured he knew what I was gonna ask but wanted to make me say it anyway which pissed me off.
    "How long have you been gay?" I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, Derek chuckled and stepped under the stream of hot water rinsing his hair and looked at me before replying.
    "I am not gay, just because I will have sex with a man doesn't mean I like women any less than I do men. I believe the term is bisexual, but I don't like labels. I don't think that the social confines of the society that we live in has the right to determine what my sexuality is limited to by giving it a name." His answer shocked me, I began to undress and turn on the shower, after undressing I stepped into the shower and let the water beat my body. I chuckled slightly as a washed myself and rinsed off  afterwards. After my shower I wrapped myself in towels and headed back to my room where Joffrey had laid out my clothes and left.
    "I'd lose my head without him" I chuckled and began to dress as Derek walked in completely naked. It was clear to me that he had no shame nor any respect for those around him.  "Do you mind?" I asked, he walked in and closed the door behind him. Derek looked at me and shrugged as if he couldn't care any less than he already did. I finished getting dressed and headed out to meet with Joffrey leaving that repulsive man in the room alone and naked.
