Summary
“I don’t- I’m not gay or anything,” says Kevin. And that makes Connor mad- he can explicitly remember the other saying the words “gay thoughts” the night before. He stabs his shovel in the dirt next to him. It makes a cracking noise when it slams into the barren and arid earth.
Connor’s livid. Angry. Honestly, openly furious, and he doesn’t care how much he’s—probably—overreacting as he bites, “Bullshit.” He likes swearing, he decides. “Bullshit, you kissed me. You made out with me, and now-”
Kevin looks like he’s teetering on the edge of something, a vase leaning on the side of a table, wobbly, about to break, so Connor curbs his tone. Just to make him happy. He doesn’t want him to cry, as enraged as he is. “Look, just because it’s so hard for you doesn’t mean you get to take it out on me.”
It's harsh, and Connor knows it. He knows it because Kevin gets up, tosses his gardening gloves on the ground limply, and walks oh-so-calmly off to- Connor doesn’t look at him long enough to see.
The shower he takes that night is long and cold.
