Lowell

“Well, I found what I’m wearing.” Lowell held up a gray crop top that was trimmed with rainbow stripes along the bottom and had Pride written across the chest. It was delightfully vintage 1980s’ looking and so tacky it made Lowell squeal the moment he saw it. Perfect with the pair of rainbow short shorts he’d packed.

Typically, his wardrobe was fairly subdued. He stuck to a limited color palette, with tailored silhouettes, but Pride was a time to be outrageous. They’d found a cute little shop in Walker’s Point, and Lowell was thoroughly enjoying himself.

He glanced over at Brent to see how he was fairing. “Any luck?”

“Nah. Nothing yet.”

Lowell wandered closer as Brent continued to flip through the racks of men’s tanks.

“You know, you don’t have to go for anything that’s obviously queer. You’d look hot as hell in a plain white tank, and no one is going to give a shit that you’re not wearing something with a rainbow.”

“But I want to find something.” There was a stubborn set to Brent’s jaw. “I spent so many years trying to pretend I was straight when all I wanted to do was be out. And now that I’m out, I don’t want to hide.”

“I know.” Lowell gave him a searching look. “But you don’t have to try to be someone you’re not.”

“That’s just it; I don’t know who I am.” Brent met Lowell’s gaze, and his blue eyes looked so conflicted all Lowell wanted to do was reach out and give him a big hug. “I’m just figuring that out.”

Lowell settled for squeezing Brent’s bicep. “Well, I’ll help however I can.”

They spent the next few minutes in silence, sorting through the massive selection of shirts in the store before Brent held up a black tank. “This is what I’m talking about.”

It was emblazoned with “Can’t Even Think Straight” in crooked, rainbow font. Lowell grinned. “I love it. But can I make a suggestion?”

“Has anyone saying no ever stopped you?”

Lowell pretended to think for a moment. “No, not really.”

They both laughed.

“So, lay it on me,” Brent said. “What’s your suggestion?”

“Do they carry it in white? I noticed some of the other shirts come in multiple colors.”

“Maybe? I can look.” He flipped through more shirts. “Why?”

“You look better in white,” Lowell explained as he walked over to Brent. “It sets off your coloring.”

“You’re the expert,” Brent said. He held up a white version of the shirt he’d found. “That better?”

“Much. And I want you to grab a size smaller than usual,” Lowell said. He patted Brent’s washboard abs. “You have a great body; you should show it off.”

Brent turned away and ducked his head. He looked like he was scrutinizing the shirt sizes, but Lowell could see that the tips of his ears were red.

Twenty minutes later, they stood in front of a salon, carrying their purchases in brightly striped bags. “You should get a haircut,” Lowell suggested. “I don’t know if they’ll be able to get you in on such short notice, but hopefully.
