Be Nice (Gain an Ally)

You know that losing in such a way in front of all of those fighters must have been devastating. While you're in the locker room, Ryan ambles in, completely naked, but avoids your gaze.

You approach him and catch him by the arm. "Hey, man. You did a good job. Really. I was surprised at how long you lasted." He tell him with a gentle smile. At this point, you have stripped off your kit, and you're just as naked as him.

"Th-thanks." The young straight guy mutters, his eyes meeting yours.

"Train a little bit harder this year, and who knows? Maybe it'll be you pulling the jockstrap off of some poor guy, next year!" You continue to encourage him, and he chuckles lightly at your joke.

"Thanks, man. Hope my picture on the wall isn't too harsh."

You shrug. "Your cock will be the center of the frame, but you've got a decent looking one, at least. Just treat it as motivation to train harder!"

Ryan smiles. "Thanks, man. You're a pretty good guy after all, huh?"

You shrug again and give him a playful swat on the butt. You both laugh, and head off to shower together. In no time at all, you're joking around and laughing together, and even helping one another shower. He may be straight, but he seems pretty secure, and responds well to your camaraderie.

"I may be out of the tournament, but I know who I'll be cheering for! I'll help you out however I can!" He promises, offering you a fist-bump.

You've gained an ally!
