Your Smile, Bert

"I can't believe you guys decide to come home smelling like pot." Gerard said pulling into the drive-way.

"Chill the fuck out." Bert said.

I'm sure I had a contact buzz. I couldn't care less.

"Can I kiss you?" Bert asked.

"Who me?" Gerard said.

"Anybody." Bert smiled.

I hoped out of the vehicle. "I'm taking off my jacket." I said.

"Do you need a cookie for your accomplishment?" Mikey asked.

"Oh, shut up." I said. I grabbed Bert's arm and pulled him down the hall. Bert plopped down on his back onto my bed.

"Make yourself at home." I said.

"Don't I always?" he asked.

"God knows that."

It was silent.

"Sit down and talk to me." Bert said smiling.

I sat next to him. He sat up and put his arm around me.

"I think I'm gay." he said.

I looked at him oddly. "Your high."

"No, I mean...shut up!" he laughed taking his arm off.

I giggled. "So, your gay? What gave you this conclusion?"

"I don't know for sure. I mean, yeah, kissing guys is fine. But, I don't think I'd ever have sex with a guy."

I lifted an eyebrow. "What made you think of this?"

"I don't know."

I laughed.

"Your brother, Gerard, he's pretty hot."

"Ew." I said simply. Not making it a huge deal.

"Quinn's adorable... and-"

"Stop." I said laughing.

"What?"

"So, your gay?"

"No. No, never mind, I like boobs to much." He said then grabbed mine.

I sighed. "Gees."

He laughed. "I'm just a little friendly when I'm high."

"I noticed."

"Judge a girl, any girl. Come on. What girl would you do if you had a dick?"

I laughed. "No, no one."

Bert laughed. "How bout me."

"Your not a girl."

Bert looked at me like 'duh'.

"What about me?" I asked.

"Yep."

I laughed. "What's a little fun between friends?"

Bert laughed. "I love you."

"I love you too." I laughed. "Your crazy."

"So?"

I laughed. "I don't care."

"Me either." Bert laughed.

"So, your gay now?"

"No." Bert said. "I was thinking. Your the only person who listens to a word I have to say. So, I figured I'd share my few seconds of gay with you."

I laughed. "Well, thanks for sharing."

"I'm glad you care." Bert said smiling.

"I do. You mean the world to me."

"You mean that?"

"Definitely."

He kissed me on the cheek and rested his head on my shoulder.
