    Summary

    Tall and blond. Richard noticed that first. Probably natural, the hair that is, since the curls poking out underneath his western hat weren’t bleached-colored. His height, too, jesus. It wasn’t hard to be taller than Richard, most people were, but he easily towered well over a foot over him, and Richard was the one on the porch. Built like Adonis, hard chest and rippling, swollen arms underneath a flannel, thighs thick with muscles covered by clad jeans, and a strong, square jaw. He had a frustrated hand on his hip, one knee bent that rose the hem of his pant leg, exposing a well-loved pair of boots.

    Turn around, Richard silently pleaded, I don’t even know you, but turn around—

    ─ ⊹ ⊱꒰☆꒱⊰ ⊹ ─

    or

    richard is a published author who needs a break, and stays at a texas ranch where he meets a tall, blond, cowboy, and the texas heat sorta gets to his head.

    Summary

    He repeats it a few times, scratches his neck, slaps himself again, and then falls into his bed. He groans at the way it bothers his bruised ribs, but he lays there in the pain, letting it cleanse him from his thoughts earlier.

    Here, in the haze of his pain, he is whole, normal, pure. He is repenting, paying his dues, accepting his punishment. He doesn’t need his pa for that, he can do it himself, make sure he’s not some dirty gay.

    Gary hasn’t believed in God in a very long time; in fact, he’s certain there isn’t one. But there has to be some truths in the world, and this has to be one of them.

    Gary Barkovitch is normal. And if he isn’t, he’ll break himself until his bones set right.
    ———————
    OR - All Gary Barkovitch's life, he has been the starving mutt wandering the edge of the street light, baring his teeth at any approaching person. Maybe, now in Maine, he can learn to lower his hackles and let people in.

    Summary

    “You got really defensive, though. When he said it.”

    Ryan’s shoulders tense. “Did I?”

    “Yeah. You were arguing with him after, remember?”

    “He was being an asshole,” Ryan shrugs. “I guess I just had enough of it that day.”

    Naim watches him carefully. Ryan reaches up, scratches at the bridge of his nose. It's a nervous tick he does.

    “Maybe it was something else,” Naim says.
