Text UN: 1stStrike CW: Comp Het/Internalized homophobia?

[strikefirster]

[Johnny Lawrence stares at his Omni briefly. Ever since the whole speed dating fiascothe month before there has been something nagging at him. Something that didn't quite feel right to him.

Which is what brings him to his Omni today. And after two or three times where he is accidentally posted on the network one would think he'd learn his lesson, right?]

How not to be gay.

Is doing karate with dudes gay now?

[Wrong.

The network is not google, Johnny.]

Don't count me out of the running yet.
A planet doesn't have shit on me.

I've been down that road myself, kiddo.
And yeah... It sucks shit, and it hurts.
But it says a lot about you that you were able to man up and do it.
I fuckin' knew you would.

[lipochrome]

you know im not a kid or a man right

[ but that's not the point, and gideon knows it. ]

did you really know that i would
come back i guess
im still not the same as i was before

[strikefirster]

Since fucking when?

[Did Johnny just get a joke?]

Hey.
If I could pull it off there was no doubt in my mind that you could too.

I'm not either. But I like to think that I'm better than before.
It might be a bit before you feel the same way.
But I'm sure you are too.

[ huge if true!! gideon laughs a little, despite herself. ]

i think im just worse at pretending now
i used to make all these dumb jokes all the time and now they dont feel as funny
maybe its because im getting old or whatever

but i cant believe you were ever that bad
i mean youre like a sensei and shit
thats not something bad people do
