Oh, the emotional-

No, no, I don't need help with that.

[Sigh and a pause]

It's the physical stuff that I can't...listen, Freddy. You're the only one I can talk to about any of this.

[Giddy feelings of giddiness. Why Freddy Newendyke of all people who knows, but Captain America is coming to him for help.]

I am all fucking ears for you.

[Empty hands, arms crossing, look at him ready to listen and gesticulate as necessary.]

[A deep breath]

Well, with a dame it's all pretty...I mean, I know how it works. With a fella...not so much.

[Wait that came out wrong. Gosh this is hard]

Hands and mouth, that's what it is, right? Should I be expecting something else?

..... [Oh he was afraid of this.] A chick's got hands and a mouth too. She's also got an ass.

[Let's see where that goes first.]

[Wait you gotta let this sink in it is going through a lot of layers of Steve's skull]

[Still...

....processing.....

...........99%.....]

[100% processed.

You can tell from the full faced gape hitting him right here]

.....really?

[Steve how are you so innocent and naiveish.]

.....Yeah.....guys do it, girls do it, anybody can do it. That's the whole beauty of it.

[Well he never asked these questions okay]

It sounds like that would hurt a lot.

What makes you say that?

[True curiosity right here.]

[A pause]

Well, not like getting shot. But it doesn't sound comfortable.

The first time's almost never comfortable, for anyone.

[There's consideration]

All right.

[Said with the acceptance that well. Clearly Freddy knows more than he does]

....But if you wanna do it it ain't anything to be chicken shit about.

[In case Steve's getting the wrong idea.] When it's done right it feels great.

[He can figure that slang out.]

How is it done right?

We're talking about ass, right? Cause you got handjobs and oral down already, right?

[This is Freddy's way of making sure Steve is ready to have this talk.]

Yes.

[Steve is looking at his hands again because oh look a mole he didn't know he ha--no, wait, that's just a smudge of charcoal]

Please.

Giving it or taking it?

[Not a trick question, not really.]

[Pause]

I guess I should know both, right?

Good answer.

[Hands. They're waving and flapping.] If you ain't ever done it before you're gonna want a lot of lube. You gotta get relaxed and take it slow. Keep your nails short and clean cause fingers usually go first. I mean you can use other shit but these guys right here got a lot of control.

[Look at him waggle his fingers.

[Steve is taking mental notes because if he does that he won't freak out.]

Fingers first.

[Said with the surety of someone paying attention]

And use a lot of lube. I'm guessing you don't mean the kind I'd use to grease up a car.

Back in your day I wouldn't be surprised if that's what was laying around. Now you can pick that shit up at the supermarket, moral decay of society or whatever. It's always by the condoms.

[Speaking of.]

You two thinkin' about seein' other people at all?

Next to the condoms.

[Wait.]

No. Why?

It's called protection.

[Duh.] What's his history like, do you know?

Protection from what?

[Freddy be nice he is pre-HIV okay]

I've known him since we were kids, of course I know his history.
