Inho pasted on a big smile, and leaned in to whisper to Connor as if he had a secret joke to share, “Listen you little shit,” he hissed in Connor’s ear, “I know exactly what you’re doing, and where I come from, we treat our elders with respect, or we get our asses beat. So how bout you shut your fucking mouth before I knock that smug smile off your pretty face?”

Inho focused on the small man in front of him. He wanted to make a good impression, “Yes, it’s very nice to meet you. Um, where are you from, Luis?”
“I’m from Brazil,” Luis beamed. He had a very friendly demeanor, “I’m a geologist, I came to Vancouver to study with some scientists here, and I fell in love, and here I am still, seven years later!”

Inho forced his fidgeting hands to sit still on his thighs. He had been nervous to tell Stephen about applying to a local university, and it seemed his worrying was correct. He stared down at his limp fingers, “I’m sorry, I should have told you.”
“No, it’s not that. I just… I really hate Abbotsford.”
“What?” Inho hadn’t expected that. “Why? What’s wrong with ...

“Inho’s my partner,” Stephen replied without looking at Connor. A small rush of warmth filled his chest at the words. He’d also enjoyed announcing it in his friends’ group chat. They had all been so shocked. Stephen had been single for a while, only going for hookups, and until Inho had cutely bullied him into a relationship, he’d been pretty content with his independence.

The long drive through the towns surrounding Vancouver always made Stephen sleepy, and he turned up the volume in the car; it was tuned to some pop music of Inho’s with a frantic repetitive beat, and it made him feel a little more alert. He sighed, wishing Inho would have come along for the ride, but lately, it was getting harder and harder to get him out of the house.

Late Sunday afternoon, Inho was deeply relieved to see his dad off. On top of his pushing about school, his dad’s constantly bubbly nature was grating, and Inho missed Stephen.
He’d had to dodge around who had helped him pay for the hospital bills and cared for him, and Inho wasn’t a good liar. It had made his heart beat fast every time it came up. He managed to avoid slipping thoug...

Inho put the mugs down a little too hard in the sink, then took a deep breath to calm down. It wasn’t his dad’s fault that he kept bringing up Jamie. It was Inho’s, just like everything else. Was it weird to still feel sensitive about a breakup when you had a new partner?
A small judgemental voice in the back of Inho’s mind whispered that he would never have been able to turn Jami...

For the rest of the week, Stephen slept over every night, and despite Inho’s job and money worries, the time together was a happy blur. Stephen cared for him like an injured bird, always handling him gently, bringing him ice for his wrist, checking on his pain levels, and cooking.
Inho felt pampered, spoiled, and a little guilty to be burdening him. The swelling had gone down on his wri...

Thankfully Inho didn’t have a bike shift that morning, but he did have a restaurant shift scheduled for the afternoon. He only allowed himself a short wallow in self-pity before calling Nathan to tell him the situation.

“I’ll be back after work, okay?”, Stephen bent to kiss his forehead, exactly the way Inho’s mother ha...

When Stephen got back to the dim hospital room, he was surprised to see that Inho was still awake.
“The nurse came by,” Inho informed him, “he said I have to wake up every few hours ‘cause of the concussion.”
“Right,” Stephen agreed, plugging Inho’s phone in, then sitting back down beside him on the narrow bed. Inho immediately snuggled in. He was definitely the touc...

It’s honestly amazing how bad this woman’s timing is, Stephen mused as he considered Jamie’s name on his screen. He regretted saying who it was out loud, because Inho was looking all keen and curious like a dog that’s heard the word ‘walk’.

Inho was only knocked out for a second. To be honest, he wasn’t completely sure he was out at all, but he did feel like he suddenly went from a weird dream to an equally weird reality incredibly fast. And also, he needed to puke.

Everyone knows, Stephen reflected, That if you have fights in the early stages of a relationship, it won’t work out.
Of course, he was upset – Inho had clearly used him to make Jamie jealous. That was objectively unacceptable, and an obvious red flag. He should take a step back from Inho, who was clearly not over Jamie yet. He hadn’t intended to date Inho anyway, s...

It was not a good start to the day. Stephen’s suit was a rumpled mess from being dropped on a pool deck, pulled onto a wet body, and cast aside again at Inho’s.
