Terry had actually genuinely forgotten when he got up this morning.  He felt lighter, brighter and in need of a pee.  Ablutions sorted he munched toast, swigged some juice and nicked the comic page from his dad’s paper.  A normal Sunday.  His family knew, his secret was out of the closet, and the closet door had never been as fast as he’d thought.  No moment of worry when dressing, he threw on yesterdays clothes then stopped to change his top for another similar one as that one ponged.

Then Josh arrived.  Josh called around every Sunday and he and Paul went running down to Margot park, around the lake and back.  Terry watched them do warm ups in the yard from time to time, behind the layers of net and pane, he couldn’t be too obvious.  But this morning it was different.  Josh knew.  Josh knew that he Terry was gay and if his doofus brother Paul could be believed Josh himself was gay.  Splendidly healthily gay and standing at their door.  Terry went and let him in, avoiding eye-contact, staring, drooling and talking, he indicated the stairs with his head and choked on a piece of toast.

‘Hey’
‘Hey’ Josh patted his back and laughed.  His hands were warm through the t-shirt.  He had a nice laugh.

‘So..’
‘Paul’s just got up’

‘Yeah’
‘mmhm.  He wont be long’

‘So..’
‘Want some juice?’

‘No thanks’
‘Oh’

‘Terry.’  Josh put a tentative hand on Terry’s shoulder.  It shut him up.
‘Josh’  A mouse squeak would be more macho!

‘Paul says you came out yesterday’
‘mmhm’
‘You’re gay?’
‘Yeah’

‘So.. You got a boyfriend or anything?’
‘No’
‘Want one?’

Terry just nodded it was all he could do when faced with that gentle smile.  He also managed to kiss back when Josh brushed his lips against his.  At least he hoped he did, his lips burned and his heart was bouncing.  He didn’t even threaten his brothers life when Paul took that moment to appear and throw a soggy bath towel at his head.

Josh laughed, this time freer and louder.  Still nice.  Grabbed Terry’s phone of the table and a few beeps later handed it back, his number added.

‘Call me’
‘K’
‘Come on you poof we gonna run or you going to stay her macking on my baby brother?’
‘There’s the option?’
‘You could stay’ Terry found his voice and earned a disgusted look from Paul.
‘Enough girls, we’re running, you can drool over each other when we get back, not like you don’t come over every other day anyway.  Eew my eyes are burning, PG, keep it PG!’  This at another fleeting meeting of lips, one Terry definitely responded too.
