Title: A Question
Author: ivana82
Pairing: None really... mentions DM/EW, VM and Henry
Rating: PG-13, because of a few curses
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: I don't know these persons, this is a work of fiction and has never happened - as far as I know (even if I'm sure Henry had some questions at one point...)
A/N: My very first attempt to write fanfiction in english (I'm not a native speaker). Don't expect too much, I was just feeling silly. Dialogue-Fic.
Feedback: YES, please.
A huge thank you to my beta
i_heart_lotr. Without her this wouldn't even be proper english ;).
"Dad, are you gay?"
"Henry, we’ve had this discussion before, haven’t we? Just because I'm a poet, that doesn't make me gay necessarily..."
"I'm not talking about your poetry."
"...even if Rimbaud was gay, of course..."
"Dad..."
"...and I guess you learned in school about Wilde..."
"No, Dad. Listen"
"...there’s Verlaine, too, since we already mentioned Rimbaud..."
"That’s not was I was asking you, Dad"
"...damn DiCaprio for playing his Rimbaud role so poorly..."
"DAD!!!"
"Erm, yes, Hen?"
"I don't care about your poetry! I was talking about this picture!"
"I see, son. But you should know by now that I have painted naked women, too, not just men. Even if I sometimes wish I hadn't done either one, people tend to reduce you and your art once you have painted a naked body..."
"Mghfgtsh..."
"...but of course I'm still proud of everything I've ever created, because every piece of my work is a part of me and my life. This is an important lesson to learn, Henry. You should listen well now and..."
"NO! You listen to me for a change! Goddamn!"
"I'm not sure if I think it's ok for you to talk to me like that..."
"I mean THIS picture here in this magazine, which I’ve been holding in front of your nose for 5 minutes now! Look at it!"
"Well, what's wrong with it?"
"Why are you kissing Dom, Dad?"
"Because he is a good friend and companion to me and..."
"Martin is MY good friend, but if I'd ever tried to kiss him, he'd beat the crap out of me. It’s not normal behaviour between friends, you know"
"Henry, you know that the whole cast is close, and you know how great they all are. If you are feeling close to someone, it should be absolutely normal to express your feelings. And if that means you want to kiss another man, then that’s a fine way to show him that you like him."
"Pa, we are not talking about a peck on the cheek. You are snogging him!"
"That's just the angle of the camera."
"The Magazine wrote ‘Viggo Mortensen has a heart for male Hobbits’ in bright pink right below the picture!"
"Really? Let me have a closer look… oh, Lijah will find this hilarious!"
"ELIJAH? What the hell does Elijah have to do with this?"
"Hen, you're not supposed to know this, but I guess it's ok if I tell you to calm you down. You don't need to be upset, Dom is in a relationship, and he would never..."
"WITH ELIJAH?"
"That’s what I'm trying to tell you, but you won't let ..."
"SINCE WHEN?!"
"They’ve been a couple since the second month of shooting, but..."
"Oh my fucking God!!"
"Son, I really wonder sometimes where you got that temper from. Clearly not from me..."
"You let them sleep in my room last Christmas when the house was full of people! They broke my bed! And you told me they did it by fooling around playing Batman and Robin!"
"Well, that is not totally untrue..."
"Ewwww!"
Henry stomps out of the room.
After thirty seconds of silence, Viggo puts his head around the corner.
"Henry, what's that with you and Martin? Did you just try to tell me you're gay? Because you know, it's ok if you are!"
