Summary
Steve and Eddie are best friends.
In their first year of college, Steve realizes he's bisexual—and that he has feelings for Eddie. Before he even has the opportunity to open up, Eddie's opinions push Steve further into the closet.
"Everything is just a joke to you! It's not! You don't get to sit around saying shit like that like it's a fun personality quirk! Like you're better than everyone else!"
"Alright, fine," Eddie says, defensive, eyes sharp now.
"I fucked up. I said something stupid and now I guess I'm the poster child for biphobia. I'm sorry."Steve's chest is burning. His mouth tastes like anger and dust and the stale air of the closet.
"No you're not. You're just another guy who doesn't think about the shit that comes out of his mouth."
