Summary
“Neil, how was your date?” Charlie asked, thrilled.
“It was… great,” Neil said as he sat in the chair across from Charlie. “It’s just… something’s wrong.”
“What? Why?” Charlie asked in confusion. “She seems like a pretty nice girl.”
“Yes, she is. And that’s exactly the problem. She’s perfect. Being with her would be perfect. But…”
“But what?” Charlie scoffed.
“But I don’t feel anything with her. The adrenaline? The embarrassment you described? I—I feel numb,” Neil explained. He was already frustrated with himself, with everything. “They don’t make me feel things.
“Oh,” Charlie breathed and spoke again after a moment. “Didn’t you ever explore, Neil?”
Neil whipped to look at his friend. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, maybe you like boys instead,” Charlie muttered faintly, his mischievous persona slipping off.

Summary
Sometimes, home is looking at the eyes of someone who will be there when the show is over. After a tiring day, you crawl home with a body worn thin but a heart at ease—because there is still someone whose eyes hold you gently, who sees you as more than enough. Someone waiting for you to come home, not just a glowing window. Someone who is, in every quiet way, home.

Summary
Neil walked gently to him. With one knee sinking into the bed and his hands framing the space beside Todd, he loomed closer, the air between them narrowing. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
Todd avoided his gaze. “Nothing’s wrong.”
Neil lifted Todd’s chin so he could look at him. “Please stop lying. You look upset. Did I do something?”
“Seriously, Neil, I’m not upset. I uh… I just—I just got used to you introducing me to everyone as your boyfriend,” he hardly spoke straight. “And for the first time in 10 years you didn’t do it.”
OR
Five times Neil proudly introduced Todd to everyone as his boyfriend, and one time he didn’t.
