My cane bumps over the cracks in the sidewalk as I walk down the street. It's hard to tell where I am and I suddenly feel very self conscious; I know I'm walking too slowly and people are probably staring at me. I'm still not used to it. I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
My walking stick catches in what I think must be some sort of pothole, causing me to stumble and fling my arms out to catch myself, though my hands never hit the concrete.
"You good?" I don't recognise the voice. It's not very deep though it is distinctly male, and instantly I want him to speak again.

The pair immediately hit it off, and begin their new lives together despite their many issues. - "Homophobic comments are not tolerated here," she pointed her nose in the air as she frowned down dramatically at Gerard. She crossed her arms aggressively causing her ponytail to sway behind her. "Listen kid, I'm the biggest fag in this place, so I'll make all the homophobic comments I like, 'kay?" Way sneered back, raising his eyebrows confrontationally and continuing to chew on the stirrer. She stared at him in disgust as Frank giggled, "It's true, he owns pink tools," he pointed out before she rolled her eyes and stomped away. "The color of the tools doesn't impede their ability to be tools- wait why are you digging around in the closet?" Gerard asked as he waved the stirrer around. "Why do you keep pink tools in the closet?" "Tools. I keep tools in the closet because where the fuck else am I going to keep them? I rarely need to hammer or screw anything," Gerard said as he sipped his soulless coffee earning a suggestive wink from the younger. - Dark content warning. Comments are appreciated.
