"Actually I kinda have," said Rusty softly, not rising in a temper or arguing back because Brad was the one suffering here. Rusty was being nothing but himself and it was making it hard for Brad to cope, apparently, so he had nothing to be angry about. "There was a girl at high school, I liked her so much. She was really cool, didn't care about what anyone thought of her and didn't care that I had a big butt, the other girls did. Thing is she was a lesbian, so I knew it'd never happen but it didn't stop me wishing that somehow she'd say that she wanted to try it with me. I still speak to her. She's doing conservation at college... but I'm well aware that she and I will never happen. On the other hand..."
Rusty wiggled to stand then, sliding off the bed with some difficulty as his foot decided to catch in the sheet. After taking a deep breath he confessed; "You're a really attractive guy and don't doubt that I've thought about it I'm just finding the circumstances a little bit weird to digest right now however -" A breath and a step forward, almost tentative. "Your gender would not come between anything with you and me. Understand?"
