Re: Tommy/TJ
"Because I've decided that I'm in love with you," he deadpanned. "Yes, you got me. I've been hesitating, wondering how to tell you about the depth of my feelings for you," he added, before snorting. "But, for Travis' sake, I'll have to keep these feelings hidden and you can go on fucking him."
It would be so easy to leave it at that. In a way, Thomas had given him the perfect way out, but he'd been the one to start all of this. "So basically, people are straight because society tells them and would fuck anything? I don't know if I buy that, because if you're right, why the hell would you want to identify as gay? Do what's convenient, and be straight, except you're not."
Tommy thought about the question, but he had no real answer. "I like them, because I do, because it never cross my mind not to, because I like to get laid, because they have boobs, because it's what I do. I party with models, I play strip football, I fuck women I can't remember a week later even if I'm sober. There hasn't been anyone long term in... well ever, unless you count bullshit relationships in high school, and even then, I was mostly lying to get laid. And sober is a recent development too."
He shook his head. When he put it like that, the emptiness of his life was even more obvious. "Christ, my father was right; I am pathetic."
