A Friend In Need

In the middle of the city a guy thought it would be a great idea to go and visit a friend
So he went to see him in his office where he was counselling his patients as a psychologist
Now the man was happy to see him and they had some friendly chatter in the office
However when the guy who was visiting wanted to leave
The suggestion was made by the friend to visit his place
While there he changed and picked up bits and pieces of this, that and the other
Later that afternoon they were off to a place in town where they met a group of male friends
All were very jovial towards the counsellor who was known to them
But the stranger hardly said anything as the familiar faces conversed with each other
Soon it was time to go and into the club they all went
Some wearing their make-up and female attire
The friend who was unknown to them found this all a bit odd as it was unfamiliar to him at the time
This became apparent as he fumbled and fell over his words foolishly
Unable to find the right pronouns to call these men who were women in appearance
Whenever he needed to address them sometimes he said she but then a while later it was him
They didn’t react negatively to whichever gender word was spoken and misspoken
All they had gone out for was to have fun in a spot where they felt no judgement from anyone
As for the plus one friend he found himself in a community that accepted him
There was nothing to do but relax and chill and live in the moment
At the end of the night they went back to the city apartment where the group had been previously
No one came back inside from the group that dropped off the guy and his psychologist friend
The guy didn’t know why they had left them both behind
When they were at the apartment there was someone who had been in bed by himself
Who upon their arrival left them in the bedroom where he had been sleeping to give them privacy
This man had obviously woken up from his sleep
But as to why he had gotten up and slept on the couch in the other room this was soon to be revealed
Seemingly in anticipation of an imminent event that he didn't want to be an audience to  
His actions were a clear signal that the room was vacant and available
It still came as a shock when the psychologist who had offered to share his bed with his friend
Suddenly exposed himself after probing him with some questions
Trying to figure out whether both of them were ready to play
Only to discover that all his friend was interested in was to sleep
Who then scarpered off early the next morning  as if being pursued before the break of dawn
