A/N: Okay big Trigger Warning. I'll, TW every chapter because I'd have a list that's way too long if I did all, of them here. If there's something I need to TW that I forgot, tell me please. TW: religion, religious shunning, religious cults, homophobia, depression, suicidal thinking, suicidal action, and abandonment.

The camera was pointed at Azira Phale. He was stuck in a situation, which wasn't particularly enjoyable.

One of the Elder Guard asked, "Is Anthony Crowley a homosexual?"

Azira stared at the Elder Guard. He responded, "I'm not completely sure. I've never asked. I just assumed he's like everyone else. He's my best friend."

"Are you a homosexual?"

"I am not."

24 Hours Ago

Azira laughed softly as he felt Anthony kiss his neck.

"Oh, Antony, that - that tickles! I'm ticklish!"

Anthony looked up at him. "I know you're ticklish. That's not bad," he said, then returned to kissing Azira's neck.

"This is... This is wrong Anthony."

"If this is wrong then I don't want to be right."

Azira smiled and kissed him. "Get on with it then."

Now

"Do you know if Anthony has ever done something intimate outside of mating season?"

Azira said, "I do not know."

"Have you ever done something intimate outside of mating season?"

"I have not. Not even in the slightest."

"That's what we like to hear, Azira. Just a few more questions."

Azira smiled and said, "Go ahead. I'm ready."

The next question asked was, "Have you ever seen Anthony engage in any homosexual behavior?"

Azira responded, "He has listened to some music from a band called Queen. I believe their lead singer was a homosexual. At least that's what I've heard. I dismissed it though, until now I did not believe listening to music could make you a homosexual. I suppose music that is ungodly can do anything to you now."

The Elder Guard said, "You are correct about that Azira. Could you tell me if you knew if Anthony had any plans to engage in this year's mating season?"

Azira said, "We did not discuss the topic."

The Elder Guard asked, "Do you plan on engaging in this year's season?"

"It will be my first," Azira said, "I'm of age now. I just turned sixteen two weeks ago."

"Congratulations... Your birthday is at an odd time. Why is that so?"

Azira responded, "My mother was in an accident which prompted me to be born early. We both interpret it as a sign from God that I'm meant for something important in this world, or otherwise I wouldn't have survived."

"How many siblings do you have, Azira?"

Azira responded, "I have fourteen. I'm the fifteenth. I'm youngest."

"So your mother is unable to bare any more children?"

Azira said, "That is correct."

"Are you aware of any half siblings?"
