“You breathe oxygen?!” He feigned being surprised. “Never would’ve guessed. So all oxygen-breathers except you.”

Kyle chuckled, "Good good. But if I do get annoying then tell me."

“That’s never gonna happen but I’ll let you know anyway”

"Okay, good. Because I hate it when people don't tell me I'm annoying and then they just slowly drift and… sorry, I'll stop talking now."

“No, you don’t need to worry about it. You can say whatever you want to say to me, I’ll never tell a soul.”

"I know, but that still doesn't mean I should talk," Kyle swallowed, "I've been told it's better if I just… stay quiet."

“True there is a time and place when people should be quiet, but now is not one of them. Also, fuck what anyone else thinks.”

"That's easy for you to say. You're… you and I'm me. If someone asks me to do something I tend to do it so they don't…"

Caleb raised an eyebrow, obviously expecting him to finish the sentence. He was pretty sure he knew what Kyle was going to say but he asked anyway. “So they don’t what?”

Kyle shook his head, "Doesn't matter, I shouldn't have said anything."

Caleb let out a long sigh, he didn’t want to push Kyle but he also wanted to make sure he wasn’t in any trouble.

"Look, it's no big deal, okay?" Kyle offered Caleb a small, but still slightly strained smile, "You don't have to worry."

For once he just stayed quiet, staring at the ground, a small frown on his face. The silence ended “it’s never ‘no big deal’”

"I-I'll be fine, Caleb." He wished he actually believed what he was saying.

“You really think I’m just going to believe that Kyle? Plus, you stuttered which makes it even less believable.” He looked at him “Why are they going after you?”

"Look, I don't have the best past, which led to the bullying in high-school and that continued over. I don't even know why they do it most days, okay?"

“Fine…” he mumbled, falling silent. He sighed, of course his silence wouldn’t last. “I get it, it’s not fun talking about it…”

"Yeah, it's not," Kyle sighed, "Why can't everything in life just be simple?"

“Beats me. I wish it was though. Everything’s so complicated nowadays. On the bright side there’s less homophobes, or should I say, they’re not legally allowed to kill us anymore.”

"That's true. If only they didn't exist at all. Like, seriously, what's so bad about two people of the same gender liking each other? It's not hurting you so why comment about it?"

“That’s what I’ve been saying for OH SO LONG! Like, butt out of my life please! It’s as if they think their comment is gonna make me suddenly be like ‘oh yeah guys totally aren’t hot. My bad’”

Kyle chuckled at the last comment and nodded, "Some people are too stupid to understand that."

“Exactly.” He smiled, “well random side note, we’ll be there soon.” He commented as they walked past an alley.

As they walked past the alley, a large man with a gun jumped out in front of them, "Move and I'll shoot."

Caleb stopped, stepping slightly in front of Kyle. “Don’t do anything dumb” Caleb said, the words a barely detectable whisper, loud enough for only Kyle to hear. What he meant was ‘don’t use your powers’.
