How many awkward moments could Erik think of? Quite a few, and this was one.

This was most definitely one.

In front of him stood Mist, who very calmly with a straight face and Rosetta standing right next to her, who was saying something very uncomfortable to him.

That 'thing' happened to be;

"You're gay, right?"

Erik could feel his face pale and his mouth open, but before he could spit anything out Mist continued on. "I mean, you never show any real interest in girls. So you're gay, right? Or are you asexual? I don't think so though. I think you and Raguna would be very cute together, you both could grow me lots of turnips!" Erik was to horrified to even say that he hated turnips so much they made him cry!

Finally he manged to regain his breathing, and exclaimed, "No! I am straight! I am not attracted to men in any way!"

It was then that Erik decided they shouldn't have all been standing in the middle of the path, for who else than Raguna to come walking up, completely unaware of what he was about to be forced to do.

Rosetta, the ever plotting mad women, grinned rather maliciously (at least in Erik's eyes) as she called Raguna over. "Ah! Raguna! You're just in time!" She said, still smiling as Raguna trotted up to the group of three looking as innocent as ever. His large blue eyes held curiosity in them as he gave a questioning look at Erik, who in return gave him a rather freaked out look.

"What's going on...?" Raguna questioned, tilting his head a bit to the side.

"Try out on Raguna." Rosetta said happily while Raguna began to question what was going on. No one paid any attentio to him though, leaving him completely unprepared.

Erik sighed heavily. "Fine, just so you'll stop bothering me." He turned towards Raguna and gave a semi, but not too much, apologetic look. "Sorry about this young man."

Erik quickly stepped to the young man and caressed his face. He was surprised at how soft his skin was, thinking how it felt a bit like butter. He inclined his head so that their noses brushed slightly. Finally he closed the small gap between them, kissing the boy softly on the lips. Raguna tasted of fresh fruit, a sweet taste that Erik soon found he couldn't get enough of. He was, (secretly) pleasantly surprised that Raguna was in fact kissing back. Erik pulled back, and found Raguna flushed a bright red which Erik found resembled an apple the boy had probably eaten a bit earlier.

He turned back to Rosetta and Mist, who both seemed to be waiting for an answer.

He sighed, slightly unhappy (but not to much) and said, "...Bisexual."
