Chapter Text
Arthur is not ‘gay’. He’s not. Yet the word is insidious, worming its way into Arthur’s mind. One night when he can’t sleep he finds himself typing it into the Google search field. ‘G-a-y’, Enter.
One phrase keeps coming up in the results: “attracted to people of the same sex”. It’s a bullshit definition; everybody knows gays are men who have sex with men.
And yet… months later, when Arthur has started to ‘have sex with men’, he clings to the other definition like a lifeline. He’s not attracted to the men he fucks, so he’s not gay. He’s not.
