"Hello." Frank flicked away a cigarette end.

"Hi."

They started walking.

It was unusually chilly for a summer evening.

Frank smelled of smoke and sweat. Sirius of food and aftershave.

The streets started to get narrow. They brushed against each other.

"I'm going to become really pissed", Frank said, grinned.

"Where are we going?"

"A men's club."

Sirius snorted. "That sounds ridiculous!"

"It's not what you think…"

They turned left. An alley. A door was open.

The bar room was crowded. Frank carefully took Sirius' hand.

Sirius' knees went weak. "Ah-are" he stuttered. "Are you gay…?"

Frank just smiled.
