“Are you sure?” Happy asks, looking at me, visibly confused.He exchanges a glance with Sleepy.
“I’m sure.” I frown, still processing it some, but sure about the label. “Is that a problem?”
“Hell no. It’s all love here.”
“No issue.” Sleepy doesn’t even look up from his phone.
“Then why did you ask if I’m sure?” I’m confused.
Happy and Sleepy exchange another look.
“Just tell me.”
Sleepy puts his phone aside. “We kinda thought you were asexual.”
“Who?” I ask.
“It’s not a bad thing,” Happy says nicely scooting over next to me to wrap an arm around me.
I look at his arm then up at him.
“See. It’s stuff like that which led us to believe you don’t like to be touched.”
“Is just weird.” Am I that averse to touch? I guess I am.
“Were you not hugged as a child?” Happy asks.
“No one hugs children.” But I hear it as I say it. “I get it now.”
“So you can see where we’re coming from?” He releases me from the half hug and I kind of miss it.
This might be a bigger issue than I thought. Gross. I don’t want to deal with feelings and crap. “Who thought I was asexual?” I ask again, trying not to be a total dick.
“The whole team. You never look at anyone.” Sleepy sits up. “We don’t have an issue with it.”
“Yeah,” Happy adds. “No one is talking shit. We’d never let the boys do that.”
“I’m too busy to focus on sex.” I don’t need to explain myself, but for some reason, I do.
“That’s why we’re asking if you’re sure. It’s not really a too busy. It’s a need.”
“A release,” Happy agrees. “Part of the only way I’m not uptight!”
“Needs are stupid. I have goals.”
“See, that’s not how most people feel,” Happy says as nice as possible.
“Do you find other guys attractive?” Sleepy asks carefully.
Are they having like an intervention right now?
“I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it.” I run it over in my mind. I’m definitely attracted to Ronan, but I’m not sure when that started.
“That doesn’t really sound like you’re gay if you don’t think about men.”
“I like one man.”
They both blink at me.
