On a Wednesday
Hospital
Dennis' POV

"DR. MANTIS TOBOGGAN M.D.!" Shouted Frank as he busted through my hospital room's door. I jolted up from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes to see if I was in a nightmare or not— unfortunately I wasn't. He was wearing a cheap doctor's costume and looked like a fat greasy pillow.
"OH C'MON FRANK! IT'S 2 A.M. YOU FAT SACK OF SHIT!"
"Where's Mac?" Frank asked. "I've come to take him home from you."
"I could give less of a damn where that son of a bitch is."
"Oh, so you guys going out didn't work?" He questioned me with insincerity. "I should have known this would have never worked out." I rolled my eyes. "Goodnight, Frank." I tucked under the covers.
"Look, I don't care if you guys are gay, I care about the orgies, okay? I just don't like orgies."
"Shut up Frank."
"You know back when I came back from the war, your mother and I had a threesome with another Vietnamese dude. Gave us both chlamydia—"
"Oh my god—"
"I never was able to look at anal sex the same way ever again."
"CAN YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM ALREADY?!" I screamed.
"Alright, alright. I'll leave." Frank left the room as mysteriously as he entered that night.

Paddy's Pub
Mac's POV

I stayed up all night throwing rocks at the trains with Charlie to get my mind off Dennis. I was exhausted, but I would do anything to distract myself, which includes doing some Charlie work. I had my earbuds on, listening to "Hospitals for Souls" by Bring Me to the Horizon. I sang along until I saw Dennis walking into the bar while kissing Artemis.
"Douchebag..." I whispered.
Dennis heard me and broke the kiss. "Mac, can we talk?" I sighed.
"Sure." Artemis gave a kiss on his cheek before she left. I shot her a dirty look.

"Can you act like a grown man and get over the fact I like girls Mac?" Dennis asked me with vile in his voice.
"I'm just not ready for sex Dennis. You didn't have to run off with your little whore because banging Artemis is more familiar to you."
"So you're just against my choice of women I date?!" He yelled.
"Yeah, especially when they're only after your money!" I shouted.
"Bye."
Dennis walked behind the bar. We have eight hours of work. I used to do all of the fun shit with that twerp, nos all the fun is gone. We didn't speak a word for hours. The gang kept asking us what was wrong between us but I just ignored them like I ignored my gayness.

By the end of work, we were close to finishing the day. I almost managed to keep my anger in, but then Dennis kept staring at me with those stupid handsome eyes. When I looked back at him, he pretended he wasn't doing anything.
"I am done. I am fucking done!" I yelled. Frank told me to calm down but ignored him and walked over the Dennis anyway. "You're a fucking asshole but that's why I love you! I spent every moment thinking about you Dennis! Then I finally come out of the closet and you decline me only because you're a whore! I wish you would have died the other night, Dennis! Was our love ever true?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Crying. Crying out. My face turned red while the tears dropped faster.
"Mac we're at work."
"FUCK WORK!" I screamed back at him. I leaned over to kiss him. Our lips were so close, but I missed. He pushed me away.
"I'M DONE!" Dennis shouted back. I felt so weak. He grabbed me by the collar and started punching me. As I started to bleed I continued to tell him, "I love you" but he kept screaming back "SHUT UP!" Charlie and Frank soon ran over and separated us.

8:59 p.m.
Mac's Apartment

I finally woke up from my long nap. I felt like I was going to vomit. I got up to use the pee bucket and soon noticed that I had a bit of a hard on. "Shit..." I whispered. I just ignored it. I needed to. My head isn't sexual tonight; I didn't feel horny, I didn't feel sexy. I just stayed up stalking Dennis' social media. His Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... and a MySpace to my surprise. It was blank. "Ugh" I groaned. Then I finally checked my Facebook. I got a notification from Dennis. It was the most fucked up thing EVER! AND HE TAGGED ME IN IT!
"Vaginas before dicks, right Mac?" I wanted to KILL HIM! I messaged him.

Mac: Dude what the fuck?
Dennis: What?
Mac: The post you tagged me in!!!
Dennis: It's true, you're gay. I believe in vaginas... sex the natural way.
Mac: So I like guys, what's the big deal?
Dennis: Sorry we're just not friends.
Mac: ...
Dennis: Bye gayyboe.

He unfriended me after that. I guess it was never meant to be.
