"Want to read my gay sex novel?"
"Your gay sex novel?"
"Yes?" Shigure reached into the gap between the cushions. "Frankly, it may be unpublishable." Out of that gap came a bundle of text. "I want to know what you think!"
Shigure curled into a blanket. Ayame struggled through that manuscript.
"Oh, Shigure, why?"
"Personal. My gay sex novel is from the heart to the heart. See, 'Zuko' and 'Sokka' were kids separated by war. Then, they find each other at the front."
Gods, that dirty romp of sex splayed from page to page, could it be the product of Shigure's imagination?
"Well, they like each other."
"But?"
"But..."
"Yes, Ayame?"
"Your homo sex is not as real as your hetero sex."
"Indeed," he sighed. "Quite the problem, isn't it? I suppose, to give my gay sex novel a better sense of reality, I ought to know how the whole man-on-man ballet works."
"Yeah..."
"Real and I mean real experience ... with the gay sex ... for research!"
"Yeah, for research."
"So, you agree, it would be a good idea to gay sex?"
"If it's, um," then hands trembled as eyes widened, "hey, why is Sokka called Ayame after page 27?"
"Oh? Ah, it happens..."
"And why is Zuko called Shigure?"
"Is that a problem?" Ayame gazed at Shigure. "OK, I owe you the truth... It's not a novel... See, I thought of you, then, a bunch of gay sex happened."
Ayame laughed.
"But ... may be ... may be ... I want the experience ... for professional purposes."
Ayame leaned into Shigure and stole a kiss.
"Is that a yes?"
"No, silly, you're just not my gay sex type." He stood, still grasping at the text. "Now, if you excuse me, I got to show this to Mine!"
