“I thought I was your only homosexual?” Jonathan asks, jokingly. Luke laughs, “Well now that I know Mr. Vanoss here likes the same sex, I now have two.” They all chuckle. Luke then clears his throat, “So, do you guys know who the hell this person is sending me pictures of you guys fucking?” Evan sits quiet, “I have an idea.”

“Me too,” Jonathan agrees and grabs Evan’s hand. CaRtOoNz waits for them to say who, “Well who the fuck?”

“A lady in our lobby who like takes care of our mail and makes sure no one who doesn’t live here enters,” the photographer explains.

“Does she like one of you?” Luke questions from the computer. Evan slowly meets Jonathan’s blue eyes. “She tried getting with me, while Evan was gone.”

“Damn.”

“But I didn’t let her do anything, because I’m loyal… Before she left she said she’d basically ruin our lives.” Luke nods and thinks at bit, absorbing his friend’s story. “Maybe that’s what she’s doin’ with the pictures,” their bearded friend suggests. “What’s the username?” Evan questions and Luke searches on his phone. “Shu27,” he answers, laughing shortly after. Jonathan wheezes with his friend. Evan quietly chuckles then an idea pops into his head, “Can you see who she’s following?”

“Yup, hold on.” Luke searches once again. “Oh man, for liking Delirious, she sure is attached to Evan on social media. She’s following your Rynxmanjones account, and your VanossGaming one.”

“Shit,” Jonathan says and stares at Evan, waiting for a reaction.

“She’s not following Delirious, is she?” Evan ignores Jonathan’s concern for him, maybe it was finally time for Evan to come out. What was the big deal anyway? Luke checks, “No, why?” The model again takes a glimpse at his love, “Just in case she’d tag him in anything. I mean…”

“Well most people might put two and two together, like the fangirls, and say it is obviously H2O Delirious that you’re with,” Luke interrupts Evan, “plus you can’t see his face in the photo, maybe like some of his jaw and left cheek, but nothing else.” Luke explains, “So, “Ass Reveal” for you Delirious.” They all laugh for a little bit, the couples’ laugh a little more fake than Luke’s.

After awhile the couple says goodbye to their friend. They sit and think about their current situation. Jonathan thinks about the episode of Sense8 he had finished earlier. An episode with Lito and Hernando, “Hey, this was like a TV show I just watched.”

Evan shakes his head and laughs, “We can’t compare our lives to a TV show… I don’t want our life to be a drama teenage girls watch.”

“No, listen Evan,” Jonathan stops his love and grabs his hands. He starts to explain the episode, “So a photo sorta like ours gets put online by a guy who doesn’t like Lito and Hernando, a.k.a us. Anyway, it’s 10x harder for Lito to come out, because he’s an actor in Mexico and it’s hard to get roles as a gay man, especially for straight characters,” Jonathan pauses and his boyfriend slowly nods. He continues, “Well, they both express the photo, Hernando using it as an example in his art class, because his one student was a dickhead. He calls it art, Evan, it’s art. It is also 2021 and we’re in Los Angeles. They go through the consequences together Evan. We can too…” Jonathan stares at Evan, swimming in the chocolate of his eyes. Evan let’s out an audible sigh, but instantly smiles afterward. “What?” The photographer questions his partner. “Luke was right,” Evan states and stands up onto the coffee table. “There’s nothing wrong with coming out. I am who I am!” The model raises his voice. He offers his hand to Jonathan. The older man smirks and grabs his boyfriend’s hand. Evan pulls him onto the table. “I love who I love! Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise!” Through the good 7 or so years Delirious knew his friend he’s never heard him yell this loud, unless they were playing a horror game. Evan smashes his lips against Jonathan’s. Evan looks at his love’s lips and them up at his eyes, “Fuck the people who think our love is bullshit. They’re bullshit,” he curses and then grabs Jonathan by the side of his smooth jaw and brings him into a passionate kiss. They smile onto each others lips. The table creaks and Jonathan makes a weird, worried face. Evan laughs and they hop down together. “I better get working the music and you better get working on the photos,” Evan recommends and grabs something from the doorway. He comes over with an instrument case, “There’s one thing the robber didn’t take.” He pulls out his blue guitar. Jonathan smiles as a child’s emotion on Christmas morning goes across his boyfriend’s face. “Do you think before we work we could watch a TV show together? I think you’d like it,” Jonathan asks while picking Blue up from the floor. He pets the soft kitten’s head. Evan sets his guitar down, “What show are you thinking?” Jonathan smirks at his model, “You’ll have to come and see.” The couple sits down with their kitten. The older man grabs the controller and switches back to Netflix. He clicks on the TV show with the title in a rainbow color. A Netflix original called Sense8. They cuddle close as the show starts.

Down in the front desk Miss Shuman sits, scrolling through her phone. She notices the message she sent to Luke has been opened, but never replied to. She smirks and shakes her head, “Bad mistake Luke Patterson…” Her dark green eyes search the lobby to make sure no one else comes in. It is dark, so no one should be coming in anyway. Her heels click on the hard linoleum floor as she makes her way to the elevator, with the mail of Jonathan Dennis in her hand. A special letter inside the pile of photography magazines and gaming magazines. She licks her red lips and sashays off of the elevator and to the black door of Mr. Dennis.
