Travis

I could tell how uncomfortable Gary was, so I should have told him I wasn’t going to do it. The thing is, I’m glad he’s stepping outside of his comfort zone. It’s good for him. He’s keeping a part of himself trapped inside and as crazy as it sounds, this is another step toward letting him free. Or maybe I’m a fucking head case and want to do the show so I’m being a pushy bastard. Who the hell knows?

“Hey,” I find myself saying as Gary sits beside me, going through my laptop.

“Yeah?” he replies without looking at me.

“Are you sure you’re cool with me doing the show?”

Gary whips his head around so he’s facing me. Yeah, I get it. The question makes unease slither beneath my skin. It sounds an awful lot like something someone in a real relationship would say.

“I don’t have the right to say whether you can or can’t do something. Especially if I’m…wait. Are you saying you’re not comfortable with me doing it? You brought it up.”

“No…fuck no.” He winces and I groan. “Not like that. You’re sexy as fuck, Gary. Stop trying to hide it. Show the world how fucking hot you are. You deserve it. And I also want to see Peter lose his head.” I sit up straighter. “I just know things are a little different with you…because of what Peter did and I want to make sure my doing the show won’t make you feel like you look bad.” See? Look at me trying not to be a pushy bastard.

“Oh.” He cocks his head slightly. “That’s…that’s really nice of you, Travis.”

What the fuck? I grab a pillow and swat him with it. “You don’t have to sound so surprised. I am a nice guy, you know.”

“Do I sound surprised?” He laughs and I roll my eyes at him. I like it when Gary lets loose like this.

“Fucker,” I tell him. “If you’re good, I’ll be real nice to your ass a little later. Now, let’s pick some of these guys.”

First, we make a Facebook page for the event. Then we go through profiles of some of the men we both know. We make a list of people we think would want to participate in the fundraiser and send out a few messages, link them to the page and ask them to share it. When we’re finished, Gary closes the laptop but leaves it where it’s sitting. “What was wrong with you earlier? You didn’t sound right when we first spoke.”

Oh fuck. This is the last thing I want to do. I wink at him. “Oh, you think you know me so well now, huh? Just a minute on the phone with me and you know my mood? What about you? Are you sure you’re okay with doing the show? I know you’ll be great, but how do you feel about it?”

He huffs. “Why do you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Always change the subject when I ask a serious question. It sounds like you’re deflecting.
