    Summary

    “Ah, yes, you spent time in jail too,” Alexei started, as if that was what Bob intended to bond over. Bob wet his lips and nodded. Alexei saw right through him. “No, you chose men. You like being with men?”

    “Yeah,” Bob whispered, tears prickling at the corners of his eyes. One word but the first time he’d confessed it.

    “Nothing wrong with that,” said Alexei, and Bob just shook his head.

    “I don’t want to like men.”

    “We can’t change who we love.”

    Bob struggles to accept his sexuality (and his growing feelings for John). The Thunderbolts help.

    Or: Five times someone came out to Bob and one time Bob came out to someone else.
