Michael frowned at his friend, "what's wrong?"
Jeremy groaned "I just want to sign up for the play."
"Then do it bro."
"I can't."
"Yes you can."
"People will make fun if me. You know I can't deal with mockery." Jeremy shook his head.
"Fine but I really think it's no big deal." Michael didn't push the matter, but was definitely concerned.
"I can't sign that dude."
"But you want to do the play, right?"
"Well of course."
"Then ill sign the paper for you. I can sign up too, for moral support or stage crew." Michael loved Jeremy but stage fright was real.
"Michael you don't have to do this."
"It's no big deal."
"Yes it is. Michael, the sign up for the school play, is basically a sign up for getting called gay. You don't have to do this for me."
"Heck," Michael smiled, "i might have to sign me up."
Jeremy froze "wh-what?"
"I mean it's better than your plan, seriously, who writes on their backpacks. And Boyf riends, no I'm starting to get a good plan."
"Why do I feel nervous whenever you have a plan?"
"Its a defense mechanism. No worries. That's an easy way to come out." Michael chuckled, and walked over towards the sign up sheet, writing down his name.
Jeremy groaned, "you're an idiot, you know that mikey?"
"Yeah, but I'm your idiot."
Michael smiled back at Jeremy, but it was a shot eating grin. He knew he had won. Reluctantly, Jeremy got up and write down his own name, directly under his boyfriend's. If they were gonna come out, they were gonna do it with style.
