Drabble: Gay

[strangetomato]

Prompt: Gay
Character: Tank Grunt
Wordcount: 100
Warnings: none

I'm trying to be okay with it, I really am. I am trying. I'm not some bigot who's shut himself off from new experiences. I can adapt.

I say that, but the truth of the matter is that it makes me uncomfortable, plain and simple. It's never going to feel normal to me.

But I'm trying.

If Frances wasn't enough, I now have Beau too. He just showed up one day and started prancing around the place like he owned it. He’s just so… gay.

See, I’m getting better. He is gay. That’s what he is.

So very, very gay.

Hahaha, I love it! Actually, I love the way you do all these drabbles. They're subtle, and you can really read into them.

Thanks. The great thing about drabbles (especially if they don't go over 100 words), is there isn't enough time to go into much detail, so they're can only be these brief snippets of information. It's great for working out little ideas like this.

I could easily expand on this one, and I probably will. It needs images too. It's just crying out for them. I'm thinking of devoting a part of an upcoming chapter to Tank's point of view, so that's probably where it will end up.
