“Uh...Shane?” Hayden called out while Shane was on the other side of the hotel room, retrieving something from his suitcase. There was a weird, strangled sound to his voice, and it cracked a little on Shane’s name, like Hayden was going through puberty. Only mildly alarmed, Shane turned to look over his shoulder.
“Yeah?”
“Um,” Hayden started, and his whole face was flushed red. Shane couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen Hayden look so flustered. “Lily sent you a dick pic.”
Shane’s entire body froze, and he suddenly felt like he was somewhere else, like he was outside of his body. He wished he could rewind the last minute, pick his phone up, and bring it with him when he’d walked over to his suitcase. Hadn’t he turned off text previews on his lock screen? Except he’d just gotten a new phone, and maybe he’d forgotten to change the setting.
“I—” Shane began, then stopped. A dozen different things he might say danced across his mind. He imagined forming his mouth around the words I’m gay, saying them out loud to Hayden. It was terrifying, but it would probably be fine. Hayden was his best friend, and Hayden had never given any impression that he’d be an asshole about this. Hell, maybe this was Shane’s chance. Maybe he should have said something sooner, should have trusted Hayden more.
“It’s totally fine, man,” Hayden said soothingly when Shane didn’t finish his thought, although he was still blushing. “I mean, I know there are some guys who are into that.”
Shane frowned. Maybe it wasn’t surprising that Hayden was being weird about this, because Hayden was straight. Very, very straight. But even considering that, it was a fucking bizarre way to say that there was nothing wrong with being gay.
“Into what?” Shane pressed, confused. Hayden flushed deeper, but he rallied after a second.
“You know, like...your girl sleeps with other guys, and she like...rubs it in your face.” Hayden struggled to get the words out, but he managed. “Like a kink thing? What is it called, cuckolding? I mean, I’m not here to judge, I swear.”
Shane stared at Hayden, dumbfounded.
Jane
You HAVE to stop sending me dick pics
Lily
why
Jane
Hayden saw it! He thinks I’m into cuckolding now!
Lily
I looked up cuckolding. This porn looks very interesting
Jane
Focus! What was the point of being “Lily” in my phone if you are going to send pictures like that??
Lily
It worked though. Pike does not think I am a man
Jane
That is NOT the point
Lily
I think it IS the point
What did he think of my dick
Jane
He didn’t rate it
What the fuck
Lily
It is okay. Pike’s opinion does not matter
It only matters if you like it
Here I will show you again and you can tell me if it is good
Jane
I said no more dick pics
