“Why am I doing this?” as I sat there in a booth at local gay bar. “I can’t be bisexual, I just came in here for a drink.” I sat there sipping my beer. My name is Eric, I am your run of the mill human. Red hair, Glasses, kinda pudgy. I recently attended college in Los Angeles as a freshmen. The plan was to get through 4 years of psychology, get a PHD, Practice medicine, marry some hot chick and have kids of my own. The usual bullshit your parents throw at you to be a “normal” person. My life didn’t turn out as planned, lives usually never do. i was never expecting this to happen. I don’t know how it did. That last part is a lie, I do know how this came to be. I lied my way. I was brought up in a Christian home where you weren’t gay or you were severely punished. Fortunately for me I got to live with grandma most of the week. She loved and accepted everyone. So naturally she was the first to know I was bi, even if I didn’t. I finished the drink in my hand and walked out. I was with a few friends, my so called best friends, but I don’t think they would understand what is going through my mind. It seems lately all they care about is partying. I decided to walk back to my dorm. The cold fall air was what I needed to clear my mind. Not only do I have stress about finals, but I have stress of my family. They always seem to call me to make sure I am dating some chick or make sure I am doing good in school. The reason I am out so far from home was to get away from the bullshit. I wanted some time to make my own mistakes without being judged. The world we live in is populated by all species. Humans, anthros, monstrous beings. They aren’t like the stories everyone predicts them to be. Just like human kind, they have their rotten apples. Finally home and my room mate isn’t around. It’s a good thing too, he is the reason I am thinking like this. My roomate is a hunky green Orc, with lots of muscles. ...ugh I got to stop thinking of him like that he is straight. That’s when he walked in. I had just turned on the Xbox 360 to play some assassins creed. He looks at me and smiles. “Hey Eric, what’s new with you?” He said in a friendly tone of voice . His name is Rodin. Even though he is a super jock and muscular Orc, he is really nice and helps me when I get into trouble. He always listens to what I have to say, Unlike the friends from the bar, I prefer him better. We decided to play co-op and I told him about my boring day. The daily grind of going to classes and after school activities. I went to a boring part time job selling clothes to fat chicks who think they are 20 years old and weigh a ton. I looked at him and thought how handsome he looked. He would never go for anyone like me, but I wanted to tell him so bad. I decided now wasn’t the time to say anything. We both will be home Saturday evening and that should be when I spring the news. Ill get him his favorite dinner and let him down easy. It was then I thought how he would react. He would be either angry or pissed off at me and I lost my best friend. The week flew by like crazy. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday blended into one super day for me. Everyday I felt worse for the upcoming event. I thought about his reaction more. I called Rodin up and told him I was bringing home dinner tonight and not to eat. I brought home a pizza for dinner, it was his favorite. I got home and he just got up from a nap. He never cared about putting on pants with me around. he walked around in a black tank and a red speedo. We sat down to have dinner and we sat there quietly. “Is there something on your mind, Eric?” He says. “Unfortunatly, I have something to tell you.” I paused for a moment. it was the longest moment of my life. He put down his slice and looked at me. “I’m bisexual.” I said “I didn’t know how to come out to you. I didn’t want my best friend to hate me. The worst part of it...” I started crying “...is that I am in love with you.” He paused, looked at his plate, then smiled. he took another bite then looked at me. “It’s a lot for someone to take in, but fortunately there is a lot of me. I knew you weren’t straight at all. To be honest...neither am I. My girlfriend is also gay. We struck up this deal so her parents would be happy.” I gasped for air. “Yes, you heard it first, Eric. I was planing to come out to you eventually. Wasn’t expecting to be so soon. I do love you to, more than a best friend. I protected you all this time because I cared so much.” He hugged me. “I wouldn’t mind calling you mine” he whispered in my ear. it was like I was in one of my dreams, but I knew it wasn’t. This was as real as real could get. I laughed a bit and it felt that one ton pressure in my chest was lifted.
