“Maybe he was sick of hiding?”
“Do you think that’s the reason?” I ask him.
He shakes his head. “It has to be something else.”
“Exactly, but what?”
THE BOYS
Evan: Did you see this? *Inserts link to gossip article about Chance and Arran.”
Derrick: I did.
Christian: What the fuck.
Axel: Is this real?
Finn: Pictures look real.
Oscar: AI is pretty good now.
Evan: I thought Arran was straight.
Christian: And I thought Chance was in the closet.
Derrick: Arran is bi as is Chance. They were both in the closet until now. They got together at your place, Evan.
Evan: My place.
Christian: This is all your fault.
Evan: No, it’s not.
Axel: How did you know they got together at Evan’s place?
Derrick: I walked in on them.
Oscar: Shit.
Christian: Oh no.
Evan: Fuck.
Finn: Were you okay?
Derrick: It scarred me, I’m not going to lie. I was shocked. I had no idea.
Evan: That was ages ago that party.
Derrick: I know. I warned Chance away from Arran, but he didn’t listen.
Christian: Obviously.
Derrick: Then at New Year’s, I warned Arran away from Chance. Told him he was my ex.
Finn: And that didn’t go down well.
Derrick: No. He’s been pissy with me ever since.
