Summary
“You can be my trusted adult,” Dustin cuts in.
Steve blinks several times. “Huh?”
“You’re an adult,” Dustin says, like he’s talking to a three-year-old.
“…yes, Dustin.”
“And my mom trusts you.”
“Yeah, but…wait.” Steve sits back up, ramrod straight in his chair. “You’re not suggesting…”
“Come with me to New Zealand,” Dustin finishes, then adds a quieter: “Please?”

When Dustin Henderson parent-traps Steve and Eddie into taking him to New Zealand for a holiday and some Lord of the Rings sight-seeing, Steve's forced to confront the reality of what he really wants out of life. Is it working for his father in a job he despises to afford his sky-rise apartment in Chicago and the status that comes with it, or is it something else, something simpler, something truer to himself? On the windy back roads of New Zealand, amongst the most stunning scenery he's ever seen and with old flame Eddie Munson in his passenger seat, he figures it out.
