Tommy shook his head. "No, I don't. I used to, but I stopped long ago. When you only see your only parent three times a year, you stop caring or expecting anything. I haven't lived for him in a very long time. I'm not sure I lived for me either; so I guess I can do that part."
He chuckled. "I can imagine. She's lucky she's staying with you. I can't imagine many people getting what she's saying, or even caring enough to pay attention. She should learn about different rifles and how far they can shoot accurately and she'll be the belle of the ball." Tommy patted Thomas' leg. "The troubled former first son seems pretty untroubled to me, so fuck what anyone says or thinks."
There were a lot of things that were never going to happen at home, like Tommy even considering what Thomas was saying. "Oliver doesn't react well to feelings. Usually lies, cheating and getting drunk follow any and all love declarations. Sometimes the cheating happens with the girlfriend's barely legal sister. That was before he was isolated, so I can't blame that island for that," he said, chuckling.
"That's also why I can't say anything. Oliver doesn't really do relationships. He has sex and pretends to be in a relationship until he can find sex elsewhere and right now, he's not even looking for sex." Tommy looked at Thomas amused. "Sex is secondary? Are you sure you haven't been taken over by aliens?" He sat back, leaning slightly against Thomas. "I never even thought about another guy. Forget about sex; I've never even considered kissing another guy, and I can't start with the straight man who doesn't do relationships, because that would end our friendship, and it's way more important than something I'm not even sure about." He turned his head and looked at Thomas. "Thank you, though. You're a good friend."
