He came over to where, Abraham was sitting, and could tell immediately that he was upset about something.
JUDE- “What’s up, you look a little pissed? My Dad giving you too much homework again?”
ABRAHAM- “No, it’s not him...It’s nothing really.”
JUDE- “You can tell the Jude Dude, man, I don’t want to play basketball with you distracted, I want to beat you fair and square.”
ABRAHAM- “It’s Ezil, he is just been acting really weird lately and now he isn’t wanting to go to Alexandria to work as an apprentice next year. I mean I don’t want that shit, but I really think he does. Plus he has no one here...but me.”
JUDE- “He does rely on you alot. It’s almost like he is dependent on you...but if he doesn’t really want to go, you shouldn’t talk about it. I mean he may want to, but don’t want to leave here. He has it nice here, and you two are pretty close.”
ABRAHAM- “Yeah, maybe. Sometimes I think he might, be like...----”
JUDE- “In love with you?”
ABRAHAM- “Yeah...so you see it?”
JUDE- “Kind of. I mean he is pretty protective of you, and like I said he seems kind of dependent on you. And I don’t think he likes that we hang out together now. Maybe he is a little jealous that you have another friend besides him.”
ABRAHAM- “Maybe that’s it. I mean we have never really had other friends. It’s always just been us, and his sister. And we sure haven’t talked about our...sexuality. It’s just never came up. I haven’t really gave it much thought until lately. The way he has been acting.... I’m not sure.”
JUDE- “Are you attracted to him? I mean like in that way?”
ABRAHAM- “I mean...I don’t really know...I mean we have grown up together. We do everything together, well up until now. We are very open, you know...like we get dressed in the same room, we even have showered together before. I don’t know....maybe. He is built really nice....and---”
JUDE- “UH..I don’t want to know. Well maybe I do... But honestly, when I first met the two of you, I thought you were boyfriends.
ABRAHAM- “You are probably right, and to be honest, I do love him...I just don’t know about the sex stuff...”
JUDE- “Being gay isn’t ALL about the sex ...I mean it’s hot, but when you love someone, it isn’t and shouldn’t just be about sex. It should be trust, and respect...and you just get each other...you know? When sex does happen, all those things make it so much better.”
ABRAHAM- “ I do respect him and trust him with my life...and there is no one that knows me like Ezil does...and there have been times I have had fantasies...”
JUDE- “It’s all good Boedell, that is normal. Don’t be afraid of it. Hell your grandparents are gay and so is Lucien. You should know more than anyone about how important it is to be who you are.”
ABRAHAM- “So what should I do...I mean how do I just ask him???”
JUDE- “I mean you don’t need to do anything any different. But maybe just bring up what you just told me, about how you feel about him. If he is in love with you, I am sure he will tell you then...and if not, then I’m available....”
ABRAHAM- “You are pretty hot.... LOL”
JUDE- “See, don’t it feel good to say that, even if you were joking.”
ABRAHAM- “I wasn’t joking, you are.”
JUDE- “We should play basketball....”
