"But my parents," Brendon's voice cracks. "T-They don't want us together."

"So what?!" Ryan hysterically exclaims, grabbing his arm. "Don't you love me?"

A tear rolls down Brendon's face. "I do," he whimpers. "I swear I do."

"Then it shouldn't matter," Ryan says fiercely. "Love is not a choice. We deserve to be happy together."

Then both of them are sobbing, and Brendon leans in to kiss him. Ryan feels his heart race. He lets himself get absorbed into the kiss.

"And.. CUT!" The director shouts, standing up from his chair. "Nice job, guys. It all went perfectly except for the kissing scene. It still doesn't look natural."

Brendon steps away and huffs, crossing his arms. "Fine, we'll practice later."

"Good," The director remarks. "Alright, all actors for scene two of this act, please come out and present the scene!"

Brendon and Ryan go backstage. Brendon takes off his outfit for the play to reveal his casual clothes.

"I am so tired of this production," Brendon grunts.

"Really?" Ryan asks, "I thought you liked being the center of attention."

Brendon's fists tighten. "Not when I have to act gay with you, Ross," he sneers.

Ryan snorts, grabbing a rag to wipe his face. "Act gay," he smirks. "Right."

Ryan knows Brendon's rolling his eyes without even looking. "Fuck off," Brendon mutters.

"I think the director would rather we fuck on," Ryan retorts, turning to face the fuming man.

Brendon huffs before grabbing his things. "Have a good day, Ross," he says, storming off.

Ryan watches him leave before grabbing his things and leaving, his shoulder slumping with disappointment.

Ryan calls his friend Gerard later that night, feeling the need to express his situation with a friend.

"What's the problem?" Gerard asks when he answers the phone call.

"Why do you assume there's a problem?" Ryan questions.

"That's normally why you call me," Gerard replies. "Or for a casual blowjob."

Ryan snickers. "A problem would be involved in both cases. But what if I was asking for a blowjob?"

"I'd have to say no," Gerard answers. "I have a boyfriend now, and I honestly think he's the one."

"Really?" Ryan asks, raising an eyebrow. "I never thought you'd settle down. What's he like?"

Gerard giggles. "His name's Patrick," he says dreamily. "He's a real innocent cutie. He's in a band with some of his friends and he's just such a good guy."

"Wow, you're really digging him," Ryan replies, after getting over the initial shock of his friend being so dreamy over a guy.

"You'd like him," Gerard says. "Anyway, what's the problem? Is it about a boy?"
