Brad ordered another pint of beer as he waited for Tyler to get off of work.

"Well this is awkward."

Brad looked up and saw the familiar glower he'd known for years.

"Hi Becka. You look well."

"I know. Did you get your gay abs yet?"

"What?"

"Well you're gay now. Did you get abs yet?"

Brad chuckled and patted his stomach. "Nah, still a little soft."

"And I see your fashion sense hasn't gotten any better."

"Well, it's good to see you too."

"I bet. I hope you're being careful. Not that I care or anything."

"What do you mean?"

"Well you're sleeping around now, right? Now that you're gay."

"I'm not sure what I am, honestly."

"You sleep with guys, right?"

"And I slept with you."

Becka rolled her eyes. "Don't remind me."

"And I'm not sleeping around. I've been dating Tyler."

"Are you sure that's such a good idea? I mean, you're a new gay. He's a new gay. It's bound to implode in your face."

"We like each other enough."

"So did we," Becka scoffed. "Look how long that lasted."

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah. I know." Becka's drink came and she turned to leave. "Just be careful."

"I told you, I'm not sleeping around."

"No. I mean... the inevitable explosion."

"Oh."

"Not that I care or anything," she said, walking away with her drink.
