A conversation between characters

So I am currently talking to a friend about sexuality and this little snippit of conversation popped into my head. As I need to post to this blog three times a week and I am far behind in this, I decided to upload this.

The character’s names are Maurice and Valerius. You can thank the two closest books to me for that.

Without further ado. Read on

Maurice sat down next to Val on the stair case. The stone steps were surprisingly warm but it didn’t detract from the worry that the slab with the crack halfway though it would finally split sending the pair to the hard cement below.

“Are you ok?” Maurice asked, his left hand making comforting circles on his friend’s back.

“I’m fine.” Val said; voice surprisingly solid.

“You sure? She didn’t pull any punches.”

Val nodded his head to the right. “I’m good. How about you? She practically outted you.”

Maurice snorted. “That bitch didn’t do shit. My parents already suspect but won’t do nothing as I pay a good part of… everything really.”

A smile graced Val’s face. “Why don’t you just come out to them?”

Maurice huffed. “Why? Why the hell should I have to tell my parents I like guys instead of girls? Do straight people sit down with their parents and say ‘mom, dad, I like girls?’ No. They bring home the girl. Or in, Trenton’s case, get a girl pregnant and then bring her home.”

Val laughed. “Remind me to be there for that.”

And there is the scene. Hope you enjoyed it.
