"WHAT? HE'S GAY? WHERE DID YO..." Chris shouted. His voice echoed in the almost empty locker room walls. Forest pressed his hand quickly over the surprised man's mouth, trying to silence his companion before someone else could hear them.

"Chris, shut it! I don't want him or anyone else to hear what I just told you! He would strangle me… or definitely get me out of duty if he knew I said something like that behind his back."

"Alright, I get it!" Chris blocked the hand and took a step back,his own still caught while trying to undress, "But for heaven's sake, Forest, where did you hear that nonsense? That is... unbelievable! He always charms the ladies in the office; not males!" Forest gave Chris a long, hard look and he didn't seem to mind that he was wearing only a blue towel around his waist. He was damn sure about what he was saying.

"I've seen him looking at my ass when we're in the shower! Haven't you noticed he doesn't even care if a female comes to talk to him? He's just oh so cool, and I bet he thinks about something other than her boobs…"

"You're exaggerating. " Chris stated while dressing up in his green vest. "If you ask me, I think he doesn't care about anything else besides his work: not your ass, or any secretary's boobs."

Forest didn't seem to like Chris' statement,and he didn't want to give up either. Yes, he was worried and he wanted his best friend to understand the situation he was in.

"Why aren't you even a bit worried? What if he..." Forest began, but Chris cut him off before he got his worries out. "What if he what, Forest? He tries to rape you in the shower the next time you are there alone with him? Oh c'mon, Forest, you're just being homophobic." Forest raised an eyebrow with a questioning look in his eyes. Chris didn't bother to look at him as he continued to dress in his other equipment. There was a short silence between them, and when Forest still didn't seem to give up and get his clothes back on, Chris decided to continue his speech. "...And I don't think you should be worried whether Captain Wesker is gay or not. He sure is strange with his attitude and those black shades he's always wearing... but he is the best captain we could ever have. Or I could have - your team was practicing with Alpha team just because Enrico was ill." It was normally Chris who complained about his great captain in the office locker room, but that wasn't the only reason why Forest was surprised with Chris' words.

"Well then, let me ask one question: Do you have a crush on Wesker?" Forest asked with a feline smirk on his smarty face.

It was now Chris' turn to raise an eyebrow, "I do what? Forest, if I hadn't known you for a while now, I would have thought that you had taken drugs or something... I have a girlfriend, brainiac; I'm not interested in males. Especially not with my superior."

"But the fact that you have a girlfriend doesn't mean that you couldn't be attracted to males. You always like to talk about him: what he made you do and how he always orders you all in Alpha team."

Chris started to get annoyed. "You sound like some obsessed freak already, Forest. I'm not gay, and neither is Wesker. Stop making such a fuss over such a stupid matter like this. It's not your business anyway."

Forest's smirk faded from his face; at first, when he had told his suspicions about Alpha team's captain, he had thought that Chris would support him. But no, Chris was keeping his captain's side again. And when he tried to make Chris admit that he liked his superior, he got angry. Forest took a deep breath and let out a disappointed sigh.

"I'm your friend, Chris, you know I will try to understand. I will not tell your secret to anyone."

Luckily, Chris had already done everything he had to in the locker room. At that moment Forest had gotten his words out, Chris knew he had enough and rammed out of the locker room before he would hit his "caring" best friend.

"Oh, fuck you, Forest... just fuck you." He mumbled and headed to the parking garage where he had his car. He wanted to go home and quickly. Mostly because he had his girlfriend waiting, but also because he just couldn't stand the image of him and Wesker together any longer than he had to. He cursed Forest aloud once before he started the car and drove out of the parking garage.
