Who: Knight and Six
What: A little spat between partners over rumors floating around.
When: Early days at Providence back when they were partners.
Where: Providence HQ
Warnings: Suggestive themes in places.


Six had come to a conclusion: He'd had just about enough with Knight's current behavior.

He glared at the back of his partner's head, frowning deeply. A few of the other grunts scooted out of the way as they walked down the hall.

He waited until they were in a largely-deserted hallway before he grabbed his partner and pinned him against the wall. He leaned forward to glare into the other man's face.

"Knight, we need to talk."

WHAT IS WRONG WITH LJ TODAY?!

Six's stoic reaction caught Knight off guard, and he could only sputter in disbelief. What the hell was he so calm about? Did Six not hear him right?

"What do you mean, 'Is that all'? After all the shit we go through for this organization, cleaning up the messes the grunts can't do themselves, you want them going around telling everyone you're into men?!"

Knight stared.

"What, that's it? This is your reputation on the line, here!" He shook his head. "How can you just let it slide when the base is over here laughing at you -- at us -- for looking like a couple of homos?"

Knight was just slack jawed at how nonchalant Six was being over this. But their... their reputation! How could he let the talk like that go on and not even quirk an eyebrow? Jesus, did he seriously want to be known as some kind of queer?

Unless...

"You're not, you know... actually into guys, are you?"

Of course not, that was ridiculous. He already knew Six was into women. Just... making sure, that's all.

"Wh-- no! Of course not!" Knight sputtered, completely flustered. "Why? Do you think I am?"

Knight, on the other hand, was suddenly horrified that maybe something he'd said or done had somehow implied maybe he could be. After all, "not that I've noticed"? What kind of answer was that? Was that something people just noticed one day out of the blue?

Not that he'd be into guys, no way. Couldn't be. Right? Of course not. I mean, if anyone would notice, he'd be the one, right? The signals everyone else was noticing was just them reading way too far into things. No way he was into Six.

...Not that he'd mind, I mean, if he were into guys, hypothetically, Six would be the best choice. I mean, they already had a bond closer than brothers. And Six wasn't bad looking - lean figure, athletic, sharp... wait, was he supposed to notice that sort of stuff? That's normal, right? Crap! Damn! Shit!

"Me, neither," Knight finally mumbles, forcing a smile.
