Dominic didn’t really have much to say about Michael’s logic, okay so he was older, fine “Well, I’m not just a kid” In many ways Dominic saw this as the truth, his life and his experiences had to lead to him in some ways feeling like he had to grow up fast, though he probably did still have some growing up to do. “Wait, you’re basically an adult spending your time picking on.. kids?” He paused before the last word “Very mature” the sarcasm was very clear.
He looked at Michael with a very serious look on his face, the nervousness was very clear as he felt a little shaky, almost feeling like he started choking up a little, this was not the time to get all emotional but this situation was scary and uncomfortable. He was quiet as Michael spoke, how could it not be bad to be gay? He shifted uncomfortably as Michael mentioned virginity “I have kissed” he finally said, it was true, though only girls. He didn’t really say anything for a moment, the serious look on his face kept up, mostly in order to not show that he was actually getting really upset.
The question as to what he was afraid of just made him look down “Nothing” He muttered, this was difficult, he didn’t want to start speaking because he was worried Michael would notice that he was getting choked up, but he finally managed to say “How is being gay not bad? People will always judge you” he managed to get that out without sounding too shaky he thought.
He glanced down at his mathematical error “thanks” He muttered before starting to fix the mistake, adding the minus and erasing the next part so he could start working on it. “Sorry if I said anything rude, just... you caught me on the wrong day I guess” he did still feel like Michael should be the one to apologize, but he still didn’t want him to think Dominic was an ass or anything.
If Michael really knew nothing or had really heard nothing, Dominic felt like he must have really seemed paranoid and weird, he probably had given more away too much by acting the way he had done, he realized that “Please don’t tell anyone, whatever you think or whatever you think you know” he was unable to look at him at this point.
