I hope none of you forget about that otherwise I'm going back to being called mom and I like this a lot more.
No, I'm pretty sure everyone can see how attractive someone is, even if they're both guys or girls. Like, people are hot, you might want to smooch them, no big deal.
Yeah, well, the kids have taken to calling me dad, so.
Yes, I think it's normal to be able to appreciate someone's looks regardless of your sexual orientation, but that's kind of the thing. I've never had thoughts of smooching a girl, so...
Robin's the only gay person I know. Knew. She was the only one before you. I mean no one's really been around to tell me hot queer news.
How did you know it wasn't just, like, curiosity? Or more than general appreciation? Like what if I think guys can be hot, whatever, that doesn't mean I'm gay-- bisexual-- but how'd you know it was more than that?
Well, it was kind of easy for me, I knew I wasn't looking at girls the way the rest of the guys around me were. And let's just say the locker room was an eye opening experience.
Like, okay, take one of those guys you think are hot, can you close your eyes and picture yourself fooling around with them? Because that was a pretty big tell on my part.
Take it from someone who has been through all of this. It's going to suck, you're going to feel ashamed just for being who you are, but it's so worth knowing this part of you exists. And you've got me and Robin to help you through this. And Steve?
Thanks for trusting me with all of this.
[ It doesn't occur to Eddie until after he presses send that this is perhaps the first time he's called Steve by his actual name ]
I can't imagine not being able to ask people about shit like this. But also, if I get annoying about it, tell me to shut the fuck up, alright?
Yeah I mean, thanks for being so cool about me... literally figuring it out just now. Wow. Also thanks for trusting me with your stuff too. Obviously I'm not going to blurt it out like I did with Robin earlier.
Hey, no, you're not going to get annoying, that's what I'm here for. We'll, one of the things I'm here for anyway. I was in your shoes once, young grasshopper, I would have killed to have a queer sensei.
I know you won't. And I won't, either. Especially around the kids. Like they'd be cool about it, I'm sure, but also they don't know how to keep a secret for shit.
Well, you've definitely become more than the king of some dumb high school to me, for what it's worth. And hopefully I'm more than just the freak to you now.
And, I might even throw in a free joint for your troubles.

Oh... But... I mean, I like girls a lot, so I can't be gay.

Welcome to the wonderful world of bisexuality, Stevie.

Oh shit, I hadn't even thought about that. Yeah, let's keep this between us and Robin.
FUCK I have to tell Robin, she's gonna be pissed I didn't tell her first!
no subject
By all means, she knows about me already, so do what you gotta do.
Oh yeah she's never letting you live this one down.
no subject
Fuck fuck fuck. You better hide me if she starts hunting me down.
no subject
I don't have very many hiding places, sorry to say. But I could probably stash you in the trailer if I had to.
no subject
I'll take what I can get. At least it's entertaining in there.
no subject
And, I might even throw in a free joint for your troubles.
no subject
Wow, for free? How generous.
no subject
The way I see it, you're definitely going to need it for when she does track you down.
