Ok scratch that, I am sure no one else has to deal with this sort of shit. Why me? Why out of all the people in the world they choose Grey Holt’s brother to be gay... no, I don't think he is gay, he is horny for women, but its still the thought of it...       I’m so lost in thought I don’t hear my brother asking me a question, until he nudges my arm. I jump and turn to him, saying “What the hell man!?” to which he replied “Are you ok? You seem a little distracted.”       “No i’m perfectly fine” I snarled back at him, not wanting to argue with him.       “Perfectly fine apparently now is running a stoplight and 2 stop signs” he says with a hint of worry and smugness mixed in. “What's on your mind?” he then continues.       I simply turn back ahead and continue to watch the road, devoid of cars in the early hours, while the silence continues. After a while Kyle turned and said “Its about this morning, isn't it?”       I turn to him again as I stopped at the intersection for the red light, letting my face and the power of silence be his answer. He looks at me, saying “Do you want to talk about it?”       The light turns green and I say “What is there to talk about? If you are gay then thats that. Nothing i can-” before being interrupted by Kyle, who simply counters “I’m not gay though!”       “Yea,” I begin, “thats why I caught you looking at frilly pony cartoons this morning and you tried to hide it.”       “It’s not the same” he cried back, almost yelling at me, “It’s not the same!”       “Oh yea? Please explain how watching a show for little girls is not gay.”       “Umm, a lot of other guys watch it” He stuttered out       This caught me off guard, making me hit the brakes and stopping in the middle of the still deserted road. “I’m sorry, what?”       “Lots of other guys watch my little pony too.” he said again       My little pony? I remember hearing something about the rebooting of that series, and how it was a hit, thats all I knew. Simply the thought of  men sitting down on the couch, kicking their feet up, watching … no no no, keep those thoughts out.       “How long have you been watching this?” I asked him, wanting to dig deeper into the scenario, although I was beginning to not like what i was diving into.       “For a month or so” he said before looking out the window again.       After that, there was silence. Soon after the minute  of silence, Kyle turned back around and said to me “You still love me, right?”       I turned to him, and seeing his face almost made me want to cry, so I said to him “Kyle, my brother, why would I let something as simple as my brothers tastes sway me from loving him as I have always. One should never judge a man based on the show he watches. I will love you no matter rain or sunshine. I will protect you until my death, go to the ends of the earth to make you happy, so as long as you could do the same for me. I want you to be happy, and if ponies is what brings that, well then, bring on the ponies.”. I take a breath and reflect back on what i have just said, noting that that was all on the spot. The words felt real and true though, so I guess the spirits are in my favor today.       Kyle looks at me, then reaches himself over for a hug, tears welling up in his eyes. I pull over the car on the still very barren roads and return the hug, all while Kyle is saying “Thank you for understanding” over and over. I am crying as he hugs too, reflecting back upon my own words as well. After a minute of this, we let go and I get . on the road, wiping tears from my face. I was unsure about Mitch’s marriage, but now that I am thinking more about the bonds, I’m beginning to see why people do that. Till death do we part, here I come!
