A kind stranger offers answers and friendship, which leads to a night of discovery and education. Snippet: With a sigh, Dean waits for something to happen. He tries not to stare at the obvious couples that he can see across the street. They make him long for something that he still thinks he can’t have.
“Hello.”
Dean nearly jumps out of his skin when he hears a deep voice rumble next to him. He turns to see who’s there and freezes.
The man standing next to him has to be the most beautiful person he’s ever seen. He’s about Dean’s height, maybe an inch shorter. His hair is dark and messed up in the most perfect way. The part of him that takes Dean’s breath away is his eyes. Staring into them feels like walking out into the ocean to be swallowed by the waves.
His outfit is a force to be reckoned with. He’s in a rainbow crop top and cut-off denim shorts. He has on white high-top vans with rainbow laces. He has a backpack on with crocheted flags hanging off of it.
The man tilts his head, which makes Dean realize that he hasn’t responded. “Oh, uh, hi.”
The man turns to show his backpack. “Do you want a flag?”
Dean looks at the assortment of colors hanging from the backpack. “Um, I don’t really know which one is for me.” He’s shocked that he’s even admitting this to someone. This is the first time he’s ever implied to anyone that he’s anything other than straight.
The man shrugs the backpack off of his shoulders and pulls a small binder out, holding it out to Dean. “You can look through these definitions and see if anything fits. If all else fails, the rainbow flag is for everyone.”
Dean gently takes the binder, surprised by the generosity of this gorgeous stranger. He opens the binder and skims through the pages. He reads through a few of the definitions, but he keeps coming back to one.
Bisexual:
Attraction to more than one gender. Inclusive of trans and nonbinary people. Can be referred to as attraction to the same gender as yourself and genders that are not your own.
He kind of likes the look of the flag too. The pink, blue, and purple make a good combo. The definition is the first time he’s read something that’s described how he feels.
The man seems to notice him lingering on that page and unclips a bisexual flag from his bag. He attaches it to a little stick and holds it out to Dean. “Is this the one you want?”
Dean looks at the flag and nods. It’s cute. It’s about ten inches long and six inches wide. The crochet stitches are small, so it looks tightly knit. “Yeah, I think so.” He trades the binder for the flag. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. Happy pride.” He puts the binder back into his backpack and leaves Dean standing there wondering what just happened.
