@reece king Well, why?
I'm not saying you're not black. I know you are, obviously. But like...I mean that it doesn't matter to me that you are. I don't think of you as "that black guy" I think of you as Reece.
I...I don't mean it as an insult. truly, I don't.
@austin heikes -finally manages to calm down after a few moments-
Austin.....that's a very very bad thing to say
Being black is part of who am I, I want to be seen and respected becuase it's apart of my person.
-hums softly, leaning against you as you gently carress my hand-
-smiles, leaning against you only for the happiness to immediately waver when I hear your words, my eyes widening as I take a step back-
What?
@reece king [okay here goes Austin unknowingly being offensive]
*holds your hand in mine, caresing the area between your index finger and your thumb with my thumb*
I mean, it doesn't even matter to me anyway. I'm not that kinda guy to think that we shouldn't be together.
I mean...
I don't even see you as black.
@austin heikes Mhmmm yes, very different.
-says softly, wondering briefly for a moment if our relationship could truly happen only for my doubts to disapate when you grab my hand-
-looks up at you as you speak before a soft smile appears on my lips-
-slowly leans up and places a gentle kiss on your cheek-
@reece king *doesn't even notice the cute nickname, because I'm focusing on what you said*
*frowns, thinking about how life must be so much different for you than it is for me. I mean, it's an obvious fact, but hearing you vocalize it in front of me, really nails it in for me.*
Yeah...I guess it is different for both of us. The world treats us different.
*thinks about how society would treat our relationship, not only are we gay but we're not the same ethnicity*
*sighs*
*puts my hand on top of yours*
Well, I think you're handsome.
And, I'm sure plenty of other people do to.
And it' the 80s. Things are changing. Yes, very, very slowly. Almost at a crawling pace. But, they are changing. And one day, things will be better. Maybe not soon, but someday.
*looks at our hands*
I don't want you to think your race has an affect on your attractiveness. It doesn't. All people can be beautiful. Every race has it's ugly and pretty people.
