Josiah relaxed after Finn agreed with his suggestion. He didn't need to feel so self conscious about this since they were in the same boat. In reality, he was the popular kid in school. Everyone wanted to be with him and even after he changed and started to push them all away, the girls only seemed to whisper about him more. 'Such a mysterious bad boy'. They really had no idea it was because he didn't know how to interact with men after realizing he was gay and it made him dislike the attention he received.

"Okay, that sounds good." He didn't ask anything about Finn's life or why he wanted to jump. It didn't feel right and honestly, he didn't have much interest in knowing, like reality might break the magic of what they were doing now. At the mention of getting laid, he met Finn's eye again, then quickly looked away again, not wanting to dwell on another man during such a topic. "Sex," he murmured as he took another drink from his beer. "I....yes. Had been thinking that too, and..." He trailed off, resisting the urge to add, 'fall in love' to the list. It's what he really wanted, but he didn't give himself enough time for it. A part of him didn't think there was enough time in the world to get over his worry and fall in love with anyone anyway.

"...something like...walk outside holding a guys hand in public..."

Proof he could be brave is only when he had nothing else to lose.
