1. Call Edward gay
2. Try to set him up with someone who is also gay
"Hey, Jasper!" I called, rushing after him.
The blonde vampire paused and turned back to me, looking surly, "No, Emmett, for the last time, I won't help you paint Edward's Volvo pink with yellow polka dots."
I scowled. Killjoy. But that didn't matter, I had another plan. "I think Edward is gay."
"What?"
I waved my hand carelessly at his face, "I mean, think about it. He's never been with another woman- even when Tanya was falling all over him. There must be a reason. He's probably afraid that we won't accept his homosexuality."
Jasper looked thoughtful. "Well, then what do we do?"
"We
have to let him know that we will accept him no matter what."
He
nodded and I beamed. Finally our brother could be with other men like
he wanted! As I entered the house, I forced the thoughts out of my
head so the stupid mind reader couldn't hear me, choosing to sing
the Barney song instead. I
love you, you love me. Together we're a happy family. With a big,
big hug and-
"Emmett?" Edward looked annoyed, "Have you been watching Barney again?"
I chose to ignore this. Barney was educationally enriching and he had no right to make fun of me because of it.
"Hey, Emmett," Alice came skipping down the stairs, a bright grin on her face, "I heard there's a homosexual support group at the library today. We should all go."
I nodded. Jasper must have filled her in. For an emo vampire, he sure worked quick.
Edward just looked confused. "Why would we go to a homosexual support group?"
Thankfully, the pixie answered. "Because it will be educational. Besides, everyone in this family should know that we'll be fully supportive of them if they are homosexual."
Edward opened his mouth to protest, but I shushed him.
That's how we ended up at the library an hour later. Edward was the last one out of car, and when he did finally get out, he was frowning. "This is ridiculous," he complained.
I chose to ignore him. Instead, I scanned the parking lot. It was full of several teenagers. My face lit up when I caught sight of Mike Newton hunched by a car, looking very uncomfortable. The things you never know about peopleā¦
I worked my way over to him and chuckled at the terrified expression he gave me. "Hey, Mike."
"E-Emmett." The kid was shaking like a leaf. "W-what are you doing here?"
I hesitated, and then grinned. Why should we keep Edwards sexual orientation secret? We weren't ashamed of it. "It's because of Edward."
"What?" he was incredulous, "Edward's gay?"
I nodded vigorously. Mike's face lit up with joy, then hope, then something else- lust. Ew. But then again, he and Edward might just make a good couple. And Edward would owe me big time.
"You should go over and say hi." I prodded him in Edward's direction. Mike as only too happy to comply. Within a few moments, he was standing just a few feet from Edward.
Edward had a furious expression on his face as he glared at me. Mike didn't seem to notice. "So, you wanna go out and get a cup of coffee or something?"
Edward looked even angrier if that was possible. Then he hissed, "I'm not gay."
Mike just looked confused, "But Emmett said-"
"Emmett's an idiot," his glare intensified. If looks could kill- well, I was already dead, so it didn't matter.
I clapped him on the back. "It's okay Edward, you can admit it. We fully support you."
Alice, Jasper, and Rose nodded vigorously in agreement. "It's okay Edward," Alice spoke up, "You don't have to keep it secret anymore."
Not surprisingly, Edward looked even angrier. Apparently he had a hard time getting out of the closet. "What would make you think I'm gay? This is astounding, even for you Emmett."
I rolled my eyes. There he went with the big words again. Jasper looked confused, "So you're not gay?"
"No!"
"But you never looked at any woman- even when Tanya threw herself at you," I protested.
"Did it even occur to you how shallow those girls are? I can't date someone like that. I like girls, but not ones like that."
I sighed. It was going to be a long ride home.
