Because he thinks you’re the weak link. An easy target.
You are.
I shook off the thought.Not anymore.
“I bet team showers are your favorite part of the day.” His voice was lewd. “All this dick just ripe for the looking. Do you fantasize about all these sticks?” Rinkin leaned in. “Do you have a favorite?”
Ryan lunged, and because Rinkin wasn’t wearing a shirt, Ryan caught him around the back of the neck and dragged him forward. “What the fuck did you just say?” he asked, voice threatening.
A low hush settled over the locker room. The showers shut off, and every swimmer in attendance today crowded between the row of lockers where we stood.
“Bro,” Jamie drawled, coming forward. “You talk about dick more than any of us. Do you have a favorite?”
Rinkin flushed. “What the fuck?” he roared, trying to dislodge Ryan’s hold on his neck. “Fuck you, Owens! I’m not a fuckin’ fag.”
Rinkin’s knees buckled, and he sagged to the floor. A quick glance at Ryan’s fingers, and I noticed the pure white knuckles.
“I don’t know. Looks like you’re willing to get on your knees for me,” Ryan intoned.
A shiver of discomfort slithered up my spine. Suddenly, I felt very aware I was standing there in nothing but a Speedo with everyone’s eyes bouncing between me and Rinkin.
“Let him go,” I said, low and serious.
Ryan let go, and Rinkin straightened instantly, rolling his head on his neck and puffing out his chest.
“I’m really sick of your shit, Rinkin,” I said, taking a step toward him.
The man’s eyes widened as he must have recognized something in me I hadn’t shown him before.
I kept this part of me buried deep because I didn’t like it. It made me uncomfortable. I didn’t like confrontation. I didn’t like having eyes on me. I preferred fading into the background.
The last time I outed myself, I got put in the hospital.
But I couldn’t avoid this anymore. And I wouldn’t let Ryan and Jamie fight my battles.
“You got a problem with me, let’s have it out. Right here. Right now.”
“I have a problem with gay boys skipping around this locker room looking at all our junk like he’s in a candy store.”
“Like your junk is even pretty.” Jamie scoffed.
I couldn’t help it. I smiled. A few other chuckles went around the room.
Rinkin’s hot stare snapped to Jamie. “Anyone who names their cock is clearly insecure.”
“I will whip my shit out right the fuck now,” Jamie said, grabbing the towel around his waist.
“Stop.”
All eyes in the room went to me.
“Yeah. I’m gay,” I told the room, my voice strong. I didn’t need to yell. They all listened. “Been gay my whole life. Tried to keep it to myself because I’m here to swim, not talk about my preferences or anyone else’s.”
“Because yours are sick,” Rinkin spat.
“I guess that’s a matter for debate, isn’t it?” I mused, glancing around the room. “I mean, I don’t judge any of you for liking pussy. And if it’s the ass thing that freaks you out, I bet every single one of you would stick it in your girl’s if they let you.”
Behind me, someone guffawed.
