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.

I love how you manage to say so much with so little.
Great drabble!

Heehee! This seems very 'in character' for Tank :) Wonderful!

Poor Tank, lol. It's all right in his face, now. He might have been able to pretend otherwise with just Frances, but now that Beau is there... oooooohhhh... do I detect a bit of foreshadowing? Are Beau and Frances becoming closer? :D

I can adapt.
:) Maybe so, but it's not going to be and easy adaptation. It definitely needs a picture or two. I can just see Beau prancing around and Tank standing in the background looking disgusted. Poor Tank.

:snrk: Oh, Tank. At least you're trying. Maybe you should invite Kendra over more often? I'm sure she'd get along with them just fine.

Lol, great drabble. Way to go, Tank!

Wow, Tank rarely says much. But when he does, it's straight to the point. And Beau, deliberately flaunting it on front of Tank's face isn't going to help matters at all.
I just love the way you've brought out their personalities.

I love it! It really does show Tank's personality, in such a small space.

love how he described Beau, as so very, very gay, that made me laugh so much. :)

'... and started prancing around the place like he owned it'
lol that really sounds like Beau!! <3

great drabble, so Tank!
I love the part when he goes
'See, I’m getting better. He is gay. That’s what he is...'

Sweet! he's getting better ... ;)

Aww, well at least he's trying. There's nothing worse than a bigot.

Poor Tank

I feel that you're going to make Tank snapped and go like temporarily insane with the gayness in the air. Lol. Keep up the good work, am still waiting for the installment.

P.S. The only reason i created a livejournal account was so I could access your pages fully.

Very nice! Love hearing things that Tank is thinking, he's such a hard nut to crack. :)

Haha, had a good laugh! So very, very gay - ROFL!
