“Yo, have you seen that new kid? He’s like hella weird.” One of the team members said while they were cracking up jokes in the locker room after practice as usual.
“Yeah hella weird. Like gay kinda weird.” Ram says in response. A few laughs were heard and many agreed but there was someone who questioned him.
“Why you think that? Wanna smooch him?” Kurt said teasing him and many of the team members remaining in the room gave loud ‘OOooooo’s making Ram go almost visibly red.
“What no of course not.” Ram scoffed and quickly denied being into the new weird guy. Kurt snickered as he walked closer to his best friend, who backed up to a bench stopping him from going further.
“What you gay? Would you like a smooch from me?” Kurt held his arms crossed over his chest as he lifted an eyebrow. Remarkably no one questioned why he would offer himself up as a kissable person, probably because they were too focused on how Ram was a red faced stammering mess trying to play it off and deny being into guys.
“What- what - why would I- No no no I’d never -” Ram tried defending himself but the others on the team became less and less convinced.
“Well how about this,” Kurt spoke and everyone immediately quieted down to listen. “You kiss a guy and if you don’t like it you’re obviously not gay, but if you refuse.” Kurt paused and smirked as he looked into Ram's eyes. “We know you’re gay.” He then began speaking to the whole room. “Because if he’s not gay, what does he have to gain from kissing me? It’s only if he’s scared he’ll like it that he’ll refuse.”
Somehow the whole room thought this was completely logical and they yet again didn’t question why it was Kurt that Ram had to kiss to prove he’s innocent and completely heterosexual. Maybe someone was right about football guys being as smart as dwarfs are tall.
“Well, are you gay?” Kurt asked Ram while leaning closer, knowing there was no way his best friend was gay. They were with each other constantly so there was no way he could’ve possibly missed it. They hung out in school, at practice, at lunch, outside of school and they even slept in each other's beds constantly and shared clothes so much that their laundry was equally divided between their respective houses, they ate pretty much every meal together and they were never seen at a party without the other.
“Of course not.” Ram said as he leaped forward, catching Kurt's lips with his own. That’s when it hit both of them. ‘Fuck, I’m gay’.
Ram put his hand behind Kurt's head and Kurt put his hand on Ram's back. They pressed forward into each other in a hash kiss. Then they let go. They both took a step back, looked each other in the eyes and just breathed.
For a moment they forgot everyone was watching. Neither of them cared about that now though. They needed to tell each other, they knew this, no matter what anyone else thought.
“Hey Ram.” Kurt started, being the one of the two with just a little more courage, and also not the one everyone was calling gay two seconds ago. “I’m gay.” He breathes out heavily. Everyone on the team stands as still as stone from what they heard.
Before they can process what was just revealed Ram responds. “Yeah me too bro.” This broke the spell over their teammates and they began shouting different profanities and insults. Some still couldn’t believe their two top players were both gay and just laughed thinking it was a joke.
“Hey bitches!" Kurt yelled over everybody. “Something wrong with being gay?” His question baffled the football players into silence.
“Yeah! Exactly! So what if we’re gay. We’re still way better players than you. And!” Ram held up a finger in the air and looked around the room. “We can still kick your ass!”
Their teammates all quickly scurried out of the room, scared to get beaten into a pulp. “That’s right, flee you wimps!” Kurt shouted after them. It didn’t take long until the two were completely alone in the locker room.
“So about not having anything to gain from kissing you.” Ram said, intending to continue, but was interrupted by Kurt kissing him again.
