Sorry everyone, still trying to catch up with last week’s. Hopefully this week will be less insane as I’m no longer out on a convention.
This one is slightly longer by a few sentences so forgive me but it needed it to make sense. Brendan and Josh are in his vehicle leaving the Ridges and Brendan has found Josh’s sketch book and has been looking at the wildlife drawings he’s done when he comes across something else.
“And this one is amazing.” Brendan held up the sketch of his character, John Archer, done with John running through the woods.
Joshua’s face went redder than the stop light he braked for. “God, I forgot it was in there!”
“It’s not like you haven’t already outed yourself as a geek a dozen times over.” Brendan chuckled. “I think it’s a great piece of fan art.”
Joshua’s blush spread as his heart jitterbugged. “Thanks.”
“John was Connor’s favorite character. He would have loved this.” Brendan’s voice broke.
Joshua glanced over and saw the tears forming in Brendan’s eyes. “I am so sorry. I don’t really know what to say because nothing I could say would help.”
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!

Poor Joshua. Embarrassing and awkward scene on his part. I love the easy way Brendan reacted to the picture, even if it did make him misty.

Thanks so much. A lot of the first few chapters are going to be embarrassing and awkward but Josh will survive.

Poor Joshua. I’d be mortified in his shoes, but Brendan handled himself well.
