Portman's POV

It's times like these I remember why I didn't go to Eden Hall in the first place. Everyone thought it was because Bombay wasn't going, far from it. It was because someone was going and honestly I couldn't trust myself around them.

Who'd have thought that me, Dean Portman, one half of the Bash Brothers would in fact fall in love…with the other Bash Brother? Yes, I'm gay get over it. Homosexuality isn't restricted to skinny hockey stars like Banks and Conway; Bash Brothers can fall in love too.

Does Fulton know I'm gay? Yeah, he knows, found out when he visited me in Chicago to try and convince me to come to Eden Hall. We'd been hanging out in the family apartment when the guy I'd kind of been seeing Tyler came over. My parents knew about him and me and were okay with it and let him in, Tyler knocking on my door and once I'd let him in, let's say a kiss told more than it needed to Fulton. He was cool about it though, said he had no problem with gay guys at all.

What I didn't tell him was that he was the reason I wasn't going back. I hated seeing him with other people. And tonight was one of those moments. He was sitting with his arm around the waist of some girl whose name I couldn't remember, talking and laughing.

This was why I didn't come to Eden Hall in the first place, I hated seeing him hit on random girls or see girls throw themselves at him. He was my best friend after all, liking him be damned, it was disgusting from a friend's point of view. Everyone on the team made faces when girls threw themselves at the single guys on the team it was just awkward.

The team doesn't know I'm gay, Fulton said I should tell them on my own time. I figure I'll tell them soon enough, I've known all of them long enough to trust them, and if Banks and Conway could come out and the team be okay, they should be okay with me, right?
