Comfort
Chapter 5
Katherine stood there looking at Adam. She didn't know how to react. One of her best friends had just come out to her. She had gay friends in the past. Hell, one of her favorite cousins was gay. But none of the rangers had ever seemed the least bit gay to her. Adam had dated Tanya. Of course, that was back in high school. She put down the shirt she was holding and took a breath.
"He?" she said. "I heard that correctly, right?"
"Yep. You did." Adam said, looking unsteadily at Katherine.
"Wow. Um… wow. Since when have you been into men?"
"Since two years ago when I met Derek."
"Is he the one that broke your heart?"
"Yeah. Pretty bad." Adam went on to tell her the whole story. As he finished up, Katherine hugged him.
"Why haven't you told any of us?"
"I don't know. I didn't know what you guys would think. Plus, I dated Tanya and she's part of the group and I didn't know how awkward that would be."
"No matter how awkward it might be Adam, you are our friend and that is what is important. You know as rangers we were taught acceptance and loyalty."
"I know. It just sounds so easy but it really isn't."
Katherine put her arm around Adam and the pair just sat there for a moment. Katherine then got a grin on her face.
"Wait. If I'm staying in the guest room, where are you staying?"
Adam looked at her, and smirked. "With Rocky in his bed."
"And does Rocky know yet?"
"No. I plan on telling him while we're here."
"Talk about awkward."
"Thanks Kat. That helps."
"Oh Adam. Rocky has been your friend longer than any of us. I'm sure it'll be fine."
Adam sighed and shrugged as he heard the shower upstairs turn off. "Please don't say anything to anybody though."
"Of course I won't Adam. But you should tell people."
"I will. And hey, look at it this way, you found out something before everyone but Kim. You should feel honored."
Katherine threw a shirt at Adam and laughed.
