This story kind of popped into my head fully-formed and was only going to be a short piece--like 5000 words or so. Then, with no warning whatsoever, it just kind of exploded into something a little bigger and with more depth than the semi-PWP I thought it was going to be.

John and Charlie are roommates and best friends that are just hanging out with the girlfriend of their friend Michael, when she decides to ask them the most uncomfortable question ever: "What's it like being in an ersatz homosexual relationship?"

Once an idea like that is in your brain, it doesn't really go away. Which leaves John reeling from a sexual identity crisis he didn't see coming.
