After the little moment between Ricky and Stephen, they don't really talk much to each other. It's oddly silent, and whenever Ricky even glances at Steve, he gets all tense. What's happening? Ricky looks like he has something to tell the tall man, but he's apprehensive. Steve breaks the silence. "Ricky? Is everything alright?"
Ricky is most certainly not alright. But he has to cover it up. "Yeah, I'm fine..."
Steve sits down on the bed, inviting Ricky to sit next to him. "You are not fine. Please, tell me what's going on. I'm all ears, and you know that."
Ricky sighed. "Mate, I'm fine." He sounds a bit stern. Steve looks very worried, and there's some form of pain hidden inside those big, green eyes. "Just tell me. I won't judge."
Ricky's heart rate increases as his fake smile goes to a frown. He just wants to let all this discomfort out. His hand goes into a fist. "I said I'm FINE!!" On that last word, he punched the wall lightly, resulting in the painting on the wall shaking a bit and a slight hole in the wall.
Steve looks extremely worried, almost about to cry. He's never seen Ricky this irate before. "Ok. You win. You're fine. I get it." Steve seems a little cross now, too.
Ricky pretty much explodes. "OF COURSE I'M FINE, YOU DOLT! WHAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE I'M NOT?! HUH? TELL ME! YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART?! WELL THOSE GLASSES DON'T MEAN SHIT ABOUT YOU! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A LANKY, GOOGLY EYED FREAK!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!"
Steve starts shaking, and he removes his glasses so that he can cry. Ricky looks down upon his friend, who's face is buried in his hands. The orange-clad man started to look worried. He sat down next to the crying man. He put his arm around him. "Mate, I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you..."
Steve ignored him. He just kept on crying. Ricky tried to get him up. "Listen, I have something to tell you."
Steve showed his face briefly while cry-talking. "What? Are you going to tell me I'm a freak? I'm a weirdo? I'm googly-eyed? I'm a nerd? I get it! You don't have to rub it in! And if you were going to say that you might as well piss off!"
Ricky got close to Steve. He put his lips up to his ear. He whispered softly to the tall man.
"I'm gay."
