We left the practice facility and walked back to campus in silence. Halfway there I realized I wasn’t going to be able to walk away from this, so I headed to a bench and sat down. Nero sat next to me. I could smell him. He smelled like leather and musk. The scent made my dick hard. What was I doing getting hard for a football player?
“How did you know?”
“How did I know what?” I asked still not looking at him.
“That this was my favorite spot. I don’t remember telling you that the night we met.”
“This is your favorite spot?” I asked finally turning towards him.
“Yeah. I stop here every day after practice. Practice is always a lot, you know. Everything can be a lot. So this is the bench I sit on to get my thoughts right.”
I looked around. I hadn’t spent much time on this corner of the campus during my years here. But it was a beautiful spot. There were more trees here than any other part. And with the colored fall leaves blanketing the ground, the scene looked like a postcard.
“What is it that gets to be a lot?” I asked suddenly feeling calmer.
Nero’s smile disappeared. “You name it. Practice. Classes. Having feelings I probably shouldn’t have.”
I stared at Nero wondering what those feelings were. “Can I ask you something?”
“What’s that?”
“Are you gay?”
Nero shifted uncomfortably. I don’t think he was prepared for the question.
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”
“It’s not that I don’t wanna tell you.”
“It’s that you don’t know?”
“Is that bad?”
“What does “good” or “bad” mean?”
“Well, one is something that’s good. And the other is something that’s bad,” he explained with a serious look.
I turned to him. He dropped the seriousness and we both laughed.
“Oh, that explains it. I never saw it in that way before,” I joked.
“You’re welcome,” he said playing along.
“I meant, what is a moment of uncertainty in the grand scheme of things.”
“It’s been longer than a moment. It’s been since puberty if we’re gonna put a date on it.”
“And, who did you have feelings for before that?”
“Mostly girls.”
“Then, you’re probably bisexual,” I told him.
“But, I’ve had very strong feelings for guys. Especially recently.”
“It doesn’t matter. Bisexuality is defined as the ability to have a romantic or sexual attraction to more than one gender, not necessarily at the same time or in the same amount. So, if you had a genuine crush on a girl when you were 12, and I mean strong feelings, then you’ve proven that your brain is wired in such a way that you can have those feelings. There’s no need for you to have another crush to qualify it.”
“Then I would guess that would make me bisexual. Wow! I’ve wondered about that my whole life and you just answered it for me,” he said amazed. “So, what about you?”
