While everyone else was laughing there asses off Michael and Gavin had both turned blood red. It was embarrassing I suppose you could say.

"They kissed!" Geoff exclaimed laughing even harder.

"It was an accident!" Gavin squawked standing up.

"Accident my ass. You two went full fucking homo!" Geoff laughed.

"What's wrong with that?" Michael asked.

Geoff paused when the ginger spoke.

"So what. Does it even matter?" Michael asked.

Michael got up and walked outside. No one knew what was wrong with the normally angry lad, but it was probably serious. Ray stood from his spot and followed Michael waving off all the attempts of the guys telling him to stop. He, unlike the others, knew exactly what was happening. Michael had taken a seat in the grass under a tree in Geoff's lawn. Ray walked over and sat next to Michael.

"You know he was just joking right?" Ray asked.

"I know, but it still fucking stings," Michael sighed.

"Back then, what he said, doesn't matter Michael. He's already gone. Forget about him," Ray said.

"I just can't sometimes Ray. What he did to me, you, us, it was severe. I have nightmares sometimes. What am I supposed to do?" Michael asked.

"Do what?" Gavin asked emerging from the home.

"Tell him Michael. He'll understand. I promise," Ray said patting Michael on the back.

Ray got up and went back inside the Ramsey home. Gavin then sat in Ray's previous spot.

"Micoo? What are you on about?" Gavin asked.

"You remember how Ray and I both moved here around 8th grade right?" Gavin nodded, "There was a reason."

Gavin tilted his head implying for Michael to continue.

"I had discovered when I was 13 that I was gay. I hadn't really known much about it at the time, but I then met Ray. Ray was in my classes in 7th grade, and obviously we became best friends. When we got closer I found out that he was gay too, which was a surprise. That was the day I asked him out, and he happily said yes. We were a happy couple. Both of our parents approved of our relationship, so it was almost perfect. Almost. When we came out to one of our 'homophobic' friends she gossiped to the whole school. Girls would laugh at us and call us names and the guys beat us up, but we still kept going. That was until we met this beast named Alex. He called us rude names and put both of us in the hospital. So our parents decided to move to Austin. Both of us were happy, but we decided to end the relationship. We're still amazing friends though. So, sometimes I let those names get to me. Not usually, but on occasion," Michael ranted.

Gavin's face softened towards the boy.

"I guess the fact that I kind of l-l-l...."

"Spit it out Micoo."

"L-L-Liked y-you made Geoff's words worse."

Gavin smiled and kissed Michael on the cheek.

"I know. I feel the same."

Michael's eyes widened in shock at the British boy.

"You mean that you as in Gavin like me, like like me?" Michael asked.

"Sure? I think that is the correct response to that question," Gavin laughed.

Michael tackled the British boy in a hug that soon developed into a wrestling match. Meanwhile a young Puerto Rican could be heard laughing at the window.

"Ray? What're you laughing at?" Ryan asked.

"Nothing Rye-bread. Nothing at all," Ray laughed walking away from the window.
