It's Not..
Cid never thought it was gay, not one bit, that when he first met Vincent Valentine in that dark dingy basement all those years ago, his first thought had been 'Well ain't he just a pretty tall drink of water?'. That wasn't gay, no, that was just a given. Because, really, how many giant, vampire-esque gunman were there running around Gaia, that looked THAT good?
Nor did Cid think it was gay to say he enjoyed spending time with the Ex-Turk, either. Anytime, anywhere, Vincent was always welcome around Cid-hell-even in his bed! Hence, why he frequently asked for the older man to share a bunk/tent/room with him, which wasn't in any way gay at all. Not at all, because they were friends and everyone else was scared shitless of Vincent's demons, so it made sense to bid each other goodnight and then wake up in the morning, wrapped up together...
And Cid, never, in a million years thought it was gay to make out with his best friend after a few too many drinks at AVALANCHE gatherings. No way! Because, seriously, the pilot was sure every other guy he knew had, at some point, partaken in similar activities. Especially in SOLDIER and super especially in the Turks! Ancients, they must've been a few celebratory gropes and fumbles, because Vincent sure as hell didn't mind, and he definitely was not gay!
However...
After five years, six months and two days of being his best friend, and then having said best friend carry you off into your shared bedroom, fuck you senseless, and then having him declare his love for you and vice versa...
Now that was gay. Very gay, fantastically gay, so gay it made the gayest person on Gaia seem as straight as an Arrow.
Not that Cid minded of course. Because if being gay meant he could be happy with a certain red-eyed gunman for the rest of his day, then Cidney James Highwind, didn't think he was gay.
No.
He knew he was fucking gay!
...
Or at least bi-sexual.
R+R for pie :D
