It was nothing short of a grueling match, more mental than physical. Jeff was sick of his brother and his actions, and Punk was losing what little patience he had left, waiting for a good time to talk to the younger Hardy. He was fidgeting with the laces on his boots, watching Jeff wipe the rest of his paint off with an old towel.
"Jeff, can I talk to you?" he asked quietly.

Jeff pulled the towel away from his face, looking at Punk curiously. "What about?"

He swallowed hard, trying to get the lump out of his throat. "You and Matt used to be together, right? Like..." he looked down at his hands, his index fingers touching. "Together."

Jeff made a face at the memory, nodding slowly.

He tried frantically to think of a way to ask his next question without looking like a total prick. "Was he..." he got even quieter. "Your first?"

Jeff cleared his throat. "I guess you could say that."

Punk chewed his gum nervously. "So are you... gay?"

Jeff was quiet for a minute before answering. "... yes. Why do you care?"

He was hurt by the hostility and drew back even more. He just went to the other end of the room.

Jeff was watching intently, not taking his eyes off him.

He had his back to him, shoulders heaving every once in a while.

Jeff frowned before walking up to him.

He had tears rolling down his cheeks. He was ashamed of himself, of being gay, and if he couldn't even talk to Jeff, he was lost.

Jeff put an arm on Punk's shoulders.

He just clung to him like a helpless child.
