"I don't know, I might have punched him." Alfie said it with a shrug that seemed almost sullen, like he might want to believe that he would have but that he wouldn't actually have done it. The idea of Julien having been the one to kiss him made him feel just exactly the same damn way that thinking of kissing him made him feel. "But you don't... I mean, blokes just don't go around snogging other blokes unless they're... and I'm not. And he's not. So it was just a fluke, you know. Like what happened to Audrey, too, and it makes sense that we're together. She's one of my best friends, outside you and Maisie, so why not?"
Oh this was going to make her head hurt. She was just so confused. What had happened with Audrey that was similar to what had happened with Audrey? Had she kissed Dorny too and he'd reacted badly to her as well? That didn't seem right. She really needed to find out what had happened to Audrey so that maybe this made more sense. "I don't think that you would have punched him." The words were said quietly as she gazed at Alfie, still trying to wrap her mind around what they were talking about. "There are blokes that snog other blokes. There are girls that snog other girls. You might not hear about them as much, but there are." He could only think of Capper and Weasley since they were publicized, but she was sure there were more then just them.
"Yeah, I know. It's just..." He shook his head, shrugging again, a tightness settling back into his shoulders. He thought he'd feel better after telling his twin. "Just not me, you know. I'm not one. It was just a ... a fluke, like I said. He's a mate. Or he was. Besides, it's easier with Aud. She doesn't make me feel like ...." He sighed, waving a hand helplessly when he didn't have the words for it.
