Prompt: Jack O'Neill - "Yeah, well. That's kind of a human thing. We tend to be afraid of things we don't know." - 'Stargate SG-1'
"You and Hummel looked pretty chummy this morning, Hudson," I taunted walking into the locker room before football practice. "Have the two of you finally decided to stop keeping your relationship secret."
"Why? Are you jealous, Karofsky," Finn shot back as he continued to put his football pads on.
"Very funny," I muttered as I walked past him to my own locker, unable to think of any comeback to his retort under the circumstances.
The fact that Finn had gotten close to the truth made me uneasy. Did he or any of the others suspect that I might be gay? Had Hummel told his buddies in Glee that I had kissed him? I wasn't even sure why I had done that except that I had wanted to know what if felt like.
What I didn't want to admit, even to myself, was that I had enjoyed it. I had wanted that second kiss and I hated myself for that. It shouldn't have felt right. I was suppose to like girls, not other guys. Liking guys was against nature. It was a sin. At least that was what I had been taught all my life. If my parents were to find out they would probably both disown me. My mother would for sure.
That was why no one could know. I liked my life as it was. I enjoyed spending time with my friends and was one of the popular kids in school. I felt like I was on top of the world when I was here. I'd do anything to hang on to that feeling, including ignoring these feelings within. One day I would meet the right girl and then everything would make sense. Until then, I just needed to stay under the radar.
Which meant that Hummel needed to keep his mouth shut. Perhaps it was time that I reinforce that to him.
