The air was suddenly thick as we all looked at one another. Crap, had we stepped on something we shouldn’t have?

“I still want to know what demon sperm tastes like if the host is dead,” Hadley said curiously, drawing attention away from Dylan.

“Can’t say I know, haven’t done anything in this body,” Xander stated as he toyed with his food.

“You haven’t even wanked off?” Wayne scoffed, and Xander swallowed as he looked away guiltily, causing Wayne to chuckle. “Figured you would have. Hell, I bet even the hellhounds have done it.”

“This conversation is getting out of hand,” Paris sighed as she looked up at the ceiling in dismay.

“Hang on, I still want to know why you know what it tastes like, Dylan?” Wayne said as he gave Dylan a strange look. “You have some weird fetish where you taste your own sperm?”

“Hell no,” Dylan exclaimed as he dropped his fork, his cheeks going red.

We all fell into an awkward silence as we exchanged looks. Diane and Hadley looked like they were wishing they’d not said a word, but then again, Hershel was the real one to blame. Dylan sighed in defeat as he ran a hand down his face wearily.

“I have no idea what’s going on,” Creeper stated as he leaned back in his chair. “Why’s it a problem if he does that? Is that wrong?”

Jack groaned as he shook his head. Chumley just snorted while Bug played with his food with a poker face.

“It’s weird, that’s what,” Wayne stated, and Creeper just shrugged. “But I don’t think that’s it, is it?”

“I guess the cat’s out of the bag then,” Dylan mumbled as he chewed his lip.

“I’m so confused,” Creeper muttered.

“You’re gay?” Hadley said with slight surprise.

The awkward silence only grew heavier, and I vaguely wondered where the teachers were.

“Yep.” Dylan blew a raspberry.

“Huh,” was all Hadley said in response.

“Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar?” Diane asked for clarification, unbothered by this new tidbit of information.

“Um, white vinegar I guess,” Dylan answered with confusion as he gave us all a perplexed look.

“Why’s that a problem? I read that we should accept all sexualities,” Creeper said out loud, clearly puzzled by all of this.

“It’s not a problem, just unexpected,” Wayne said with a shrug.

I gazed around at all the other students who had continued eating, unfazed by this revelation.

“It doesn’t bother any of you?” Dylan asked carefully after a moment of just staring at the rest of us in shock.

“Why would it bother us?” Hershel asked as he gave him a confused look.

“I’m more annoyed that you haven’t told us until now, I thought you would have trusted us enough,” Hadley said as she pursed her lips. “You are who you are, why would that make a difference?”

“Being gay isn’t something to be ashamed of. And I’m getting sick and tired of you and Matthew sneaking around,” Thomas said as he smirked at Matthew.

“Oh damn, how come I didn’t know this?!” Diane gasped as she flicked her gaze between the two mentioned.

“Wait, you and Matthew? Huh, interesting,” Hershel said as he looked between Dylan and Matthew curiously. “Although, I guess you guys do spend a lot of alone time together. I just figured it was gaming stuff. I know you both play the Switch a lot.”

“That wasn’t something you had to tell everyone, y’know,” Matthew grumbled at Thomas as he folded his arms.

“I just don’t know why you’re hiding it from us, Flynn and I both know, we’ve known since we were ten,” Thomas stated. “We’re your best friends, you don’t need to hide anything from us. It doesn’t change how we see you or how we feel about you.”
