Gerard's P.O.V
As soon as Matt had left Jake took me to the back where they kept more of their comics. Mikey and I had been coming here for so long that anybody who was working would just take us where the extras were kept since all of the comics that were on display we had already read or we owned.
"There was one that Mikey wanted, but I can't remember what it was called. I'll go ask him what it was and then I'll come back here."
Jake nodded and I headed back to the main part so that I could find Mikey. Thankfully, Mikey was taller than the shelves so it wasn't very hard to find him. Once I saw his head I walked toward him, seeing his hands flailing all over the place as he talked. He must have been pretty worked up since that's the only time he does that. I shrugged and kept walking.
I got closer and I started to hear what he was saying.
"Mikey, what's so wrong with playing football and being bi or gay?"
"Football players are sort of known for hitting each other on the ass! To know that my brother could like that, oh God."
What? They were talking about me being gay? It didn't sound like Frank had told Mikey that I actually was, Mikey just knew me well enough that he noticed the way I looked at Frank.
"I kind of figured that's why he hangs with you. But if he's only playing for the sport than you know he doesn't get any pleasure from that stuff."
"I know. But what if he does?"
At least I knew that Frank was defending me by acting like he didn't know. But I was kind of worried since Mikey was so worried about this. I really wanted to walk up to them and either tell him or lie my way out, but they didn't know I had heard or even that I was there so I knew interrupting would be sort of rude.
I started walking back toward the back. I would just text Mikey and ask him what the comic was called. I really didn't want to hear the rest of their conversation.
