    Both of the boys were now working in their bedroom. Well, Alex at least. Roger couldn't do anything. Mr. May was everywhere in his thoughts. He replayed in his head the hugs. He'd loved it, he wanted to hug him again and never letting him go. He sighed, laying down on his bed, staring at the ceiling. «What can I do...? I can't like him but... I-I just do...» He muttered to himself. He sat up when he heard a knock on his door. «Yeah ?» He saw his door opening, revealing Alex.

    «Hey... Can I stay a little ?» His brother asked. Roger smiled and nodded.

    «Yeah of course, come on.» He said, patting on his bed to tell him to come. Alex did and sighed.

    «Well... Actually I'm here to... Help you...» He began. «I lied to Mr. May. I know why you were like this but... I want to be sure so... Why were you... Strange ?» Roger looked down. D-Do I have to tell him...? H-He'll hate me but... He said he knows... Fuck...

    «W-Well... P-Promise me first to... Not hate me...» Roger was really unsure and scared. He played with his thumbs, not daring to look at Alex, who seemed worried by now.

   «I'd never hate you Rog... You're my brother I can't hate you...» Alex answered and wrapped his arm around Roger's shoulders, squeezing them a little. Roger let out a very little smile.

    «Thank you...» He sighed, not really ready to tell him. «I... I'm in love with... Brian...» He sighed more and closed his eyes. Alex didn't really understand.

    «B-Brian... W-Who's Brian...?» He asked. Roger gulped, he didn't remember Alex didn't know Mr. May's name.

    «M-Mister May...» He finally said. Alex froze. He was right, but he couldn't believe it. He didn't say anything, he just thought. Roger was gay ? But... He had brought so many girls at home... He was as straight as a ruler but now... He had come out to him.

    «S-So you're... You're gay ?» He asked. Roger sadly nodded, still not looking at him. «I...» Alex began. «I'm proud of you Rog.» Roger looked at Alex with shock.

    «Y-You don't hate me...?» Roger stuttered. Alex smiled and stroked his brother's hair.

    «I'd never hate you. And I'm proud you told me. Did you tell someone already ?» Roger shook his head. «Well, I'm glad you told me first. And don't worry, I'll help you with Bri. You can count on me.» Roger nearly cried tears of joy as he hugged Alex tightly.

    «Thank you. Thank you so much for accepting me Ax. You're the best brother ever. Never forget that.» Roger said into Alex's shoulder.

    «You're the best too Rog. And you're welcome, I'd do anything for you.» He answered. «Do you want to tell mom and Clare ?» He asked. Roger shook his head.

    «Not yet. I wanna tell Fred and Deaky before. Tomorrow if I can.»

    «Of course Rog.» He hugged him more tightly. «Don't rush things, you've got all the time you want.»

    «Thanks... And for Bri...?» Roger asked shyly.

    «I'll help you don't worry. I'll ask him to help you with the lesson, so you can get closer to him okay ?»

    «You'd do that ?» Roger asked, a little amazed.

    «Of course, even tomorrow. Hehe, tomorrow will be a good day. You come out to Fred and John, and me, I ask Bri to get closer to you. That will be a great day !»
