Okay, I'm just going to give this a go. This will be a multi-chapter fic and I hope it doesn't suck. R&R. :)
His hands trembling slightly as he clicked the "sign up" button the computer screen, Jack pressed the mouse and clenched his teeth, not believing he had just registered for a dating website.
Jack had no problem picking up women, with his good looks and charming smile, but that didn't really matter to him since he was gay. For as long as he could remember, he was in love with his male roommate, who he was certain didn't share the same feeling. At first, he forced himself into thinking that Eric was the only guy he ever liked and he was completely straight besides that. But as time went on, he started noticing more men, and the thought of having sex with a woman vanished from his mind.
He supposed he should have figured it out sooner. When he was sixteen and had his first time with a woman, he confided to his best friend, Andrew, that it felt unnatural and uncomfortable. He was quickly assured that after his first time, it would be better. After his second, third, fourth, fifth sexual experience, he had given up completely. None of the gang knew the real reason he stopped going after Rachel. It was because she had made a move on him, he panicked and ran out of the room. It took him two days at a hotel before he realized that he didn't like women. After figuring that out, he returned to the apartment and apologized to Rachel, who forgot about it a few days later.
Jack wanted to try dating a man to confirm his suspicions, but he was too frightened to go out on the streets of Philadelphia and pick up a guy (certain there was some kind of manual he forgot to pick up when he realized he preferred men over women), so he resorted to the internet to help him. He still had feelings for Eric, but he refused to try anything on him, in fear he would scare his very straight roommate away and end their friendship.
"Hey bud, what are you doing?" Eric's voice caused Jack to jump right out his seat, but not before he furiously exited out of the browser.
"Working on a paper." He feigned a smile as he latched onto Eric's hand to help himself off the floor that broke his fall.
"Mind taking a break? There's a new Catherine Stone movie out and you know what that means." His eyebrows raised up to suggest that it was something Jack, in his newfound discovery, wouldn't enjoy that much, but something that Eric would. He clucked his tongue in false excited approval, and grabbed his jacket.
"Sure, man. Let's go."
