Wrestling With Love

the people he trusted most in the world. “Tyrell, I’m not about to just up and out myself to someone just because they out themselves to me. I’m not like that. I thought people were supposed to handle coming out in their own time and in their own way.”

Tyrell sucked air though his teeth, the sound grating on Derek’s nerves. “Don’t give me that crap. I totally came on to you. The least you could have done was to let me know you’re gay.”

Derek was finding it impossible to follow Tyrell’s logic. “Why? Because you showed interest in me?”

“Yes.”

Derek’s stomach churned the soda he was drinking. Tyrell wasn’t just annoying him, he was making him angry. Luckily, he was better at masking his feelings than Tyrell. “That’s a pile of shit. I don’t have to tell you anything about myself I don’t want to. Now you know I’m gay, it doesn’t change the fact I wasn’t interested in you then and I’m not interested in you now.” The comment had come out harsher than he had meant it to. Given Tyrell’s propensity for drama and extreme behavior, he wished he had tempered his reaction.

“But the other day when we had lunch and you asked me about first times. Wasn’t that code for telling me you were interested in me?”

There was no mistaking that Tyrell truly believed what he was saying. There was something pathetic about it and Derek’s temper settled. “I got that impression which is why I haven’t called you. I wasn’t asking as a backwards way to giving you any signals or hints. I was asking because I wanted to know. I’m not interested in you, Tyrell.”

Shock registered on Tyrell’s face and then he smiled. “I’ll be damned. I’ve never had someone tell me that they weren’t into me before. It’s kind of hot.”

Derek wanted to reach across the table and strangle him. “Tyrell, was there something in particular that you wanted to talk to me about?”

“I just find you incredibly interesting and would like to get to know you better.”

He seemed sincere enough, but so far, Derek saw none of the genuine side of Tyrell that had begun to reveal itself that last day of orientation. He had never been one to dismiss someone so completely without at least taking the time to get to know them first, but Tyrell’s yo-yo behavior made it difficult to want to try. “Okay, so what do you want to know?”

“Well, I’m going to guess you knew you were gay in high school. Guys who just figure themselves out in college don’t come to gay meetings their freshman year.”

“And how would you know that? You’re a freshman. Do you have some knowledge about how people behave in college that the rest of us don’t?” Derek was surprised by the acid in his voice. “Sorry, that came out nasty. I didn’t mean to sound like that.”

A feeble smile crossed Tyrell’s lips. “Actually, I have more experience with what college kids are like than I care to admit.
