A/N: Thanks to all who are still reading the story! I've been a little lacking in updates lately and I'm very sorry for it. I'm just very stressed out at the moment because my studies are starting next month and there are a lot of things to be done. So please forgive me if updates won't be regular for a little longer! I'm really sorry!

7: "I need to work on my appearance."

Lately I got the feeling that I have to do something about my appearance. Not about my looks – hell, I look better than any man should be allowed to look. It's just that... Well... People tend to think that Sam and I are... ugh... are... kinda... involved, if you know what I mean. And I just do not get HOW they can think this because, hello, do I look like I'm gay? Do I look as though I'd waste my precious body on someone like Sam?

We've been to that sugary sweet little neighborhood for a job when it happened. The first time we corrected them, the second we – or more, I – played along but I have to admit, it gave me quite a hard time thinking. Because, sure as hell, not every man on this earth is mistaken for being gay just because he's in company of another man. It's got to do something with either my appearance or Sammy's. I prefer to think that it's mostly Sammy causing these idiots to think we're a couple but I guess it might be an advantage if I try to look more – well, what actually? Manly? Can't think of a way to look more manly than I do besides becoming a body builder. So, I'll just stick to the word "straight" right now. I don't use it that often because usually nobody questions me on that issue.

However, I'm trying to find a way of changing my appearance. Problem is, I don't know why peoply could think that I'm into men. Let's see... I like watching Oprah, but no one knows about this – except for Sammy because I accidently spilled it. Do people sense it if someone watches this show? Maybe Oprah fans can feel it. Guess I'll not watch it for a little while. Just in case.

Damn, I'm gonna miss her.

Then we have the thing that I quite like showering. Don't know why that could make me appear gay. It's simply hygienic. It's supposed to make someone appear clean. All right, and if there's such a fancy steam shower it's fun. It's awesome. But my pain in the ass little brother kinda likes to point out the fact that I'm taking longer in the bathroom than any girl he knows. I'm not sure if he really has a point there because, come on, how many girls does he know? And even more important, what kind of girls are they, anyway? I always tell him that you can't rush perfection and that he'd probably look a little better if he'd taken a little more time in the bathroom. But maybe I'm also gonna take shorter showers now. Just in case, of course.

But other than that I can't come up with anything that could be the fault. I really believe it's all about Sam. It has to be about Sam. I've never been mistaken in my sexual preferences when I was out without him. Yeah, it's definitely him. Stupid of me to worry in the first place.

I gotta stop now – Oprah's starting!
