Red knows.
Their marriage is only a marriage of convenience, and it was both their faults that she got pregnant. They’re friends, certainly, but they’re not in love with each other, and since little Susie is off at boarding school, their time is their own.
She doesn’t love him like a wife should. He doesn’t love her as a husband does either, so it probably all works out.
Misty spends her nights with Lorelei, and they both know about it. They’ll never actually talk about it though, and that’s nice. As long as they are discreet, no tongues will wag either.
Red spends his nights with Lance. The Dragon Master will hold him close, and he’ll pet his hair, and Lance does have the most beautiful golden eyes ever. No one comments, because Red is Champion and spends most of his days in Indigo Plateau anyway, and though it’s quite a commute for Misty to go from Cerulean to there, she still loves it.
It’s like a façade, and many people are hiding secrets.
All the outsiders know are lies.
Red rather likes it that way, and as Lance kisses him, he feels that this is better. He does love Misty, just not that way, and well…
The one he really loves is Lance. They all know.
Misty loves Lorelei, and Lorelei loves her back.
It will be all right. No one will tell, and the secret stays, and Red gasps beneath Lance’s hands as the Dragon Master claims him.
He is happy.

I don’t advocate cheating in real life, but in fanfic, I guess it doesn’t hurt as much. Or something…
Lance: Still high on cold medications and antibiotics I take it?
Phantomness: Yep
