In private. Great. You could practically see the discomfort radiating from Diego's face. He wasn't afraid of a beat up, he hadn't done anything to deserve that and Angelo wasn't a beat up kind of guy anyway. But a talk down was just as bad and nasty, and if this was that Diego was not looking forward to it.

"Okay, where?"
Diego muttered, putting his hands in his pockets now. He could feel people were still looking, of course they were since the student council fucking president was talking to a grumpy lone wolf. They were probably going to assume Diego had done something wrong. Which he had, but the thought of them just automatically assuming that kind of annoyed Diego.

"This way," Angelo said, gesturing down the hall to an empty classroom. On any given hour, there were plenty of empty rooms, and Angelo's perfect memory let him keep track of more or less all of them. Did he feel bad for effectively cornering Diego? No, no he sure as hell did not, but he would at least wait until they'd closed the door behind him before he said anything, rounding on Diego with a very serious expression.

"You're probably going to say 'that's not your business', and you know what? It kind of isn't. But just because I'm not dating Gabe anymore doesn't mean he isn't my friend. So I have one simple question for you: Is the fact that Gabe's gay going to be an issue for you?"

Because Gabe was definitely gay. And they were supposed to be living together. Did Gabe know that Diego was like this? Had it come up? He couldn't imagine that it had. He couldn't even imagine the conversation.

Reluctantly Diego followed after Angelo, floating so he was just a bit taller than Angelo. That kind of calmed him, kind of. But when they entered the classroom Diego went and sat on the teacher's desk, crossing his legs and fidgeting with his shoelaces. But when Angelo turned around to face him with a serious expression Diego stopped and his body and face went rigid. What was Angelo going to say?

Out of all the things Diego had thought Angelo would say this one hadn't even crossed his mind. His expression turned from baffled to confused to panicked and finally to a mix of all of those plus angry. He floated up from the desk and looked at Angelo with a frown and when he spoke his tone was frantic but clearly angry.
"The fuck are you even saying? Gabe is my best friend and I've know him since diapers, who even cares what gender he likes. It has never been an issue and never will be. If I have a problem with someone being gay it m-"
And again Diego stopped himself from speaking any further, going as far as to put a hand in front of his mouth, and he looked away with his expression still angry but panicked taking over slowly. What was even this situation? Diego's mind was in chaos, his expectations had been thrown out the window and he had trouble grasping the situation.

"Was that everything you wanted to ask? Or do you want to insult my friendship with Gabe some more?"
