Excerpt:
Jon is nervous. He and Martin have been dating for a few weeks now, and he is beginning to worry that their relationship will carry certain… expectations. He’c certain Martin won’t be bothered by it— he’s quite literally the sweetest man he’s ever met, but coming out to people is always tricky. And it’s not as if he can apply a single label to what he is, anyway. No, his views on intimacy are far too complicated.
He is sitting in his home office (the spare bedroom in his flat— he’s not that rich. Okay, maybe he is. His flat is in South Kensington, after all) chewing on the end of his pen. He’s been trying— and failing— to finish a report for Elias, because the only thing he’s able to think about is how he’s going to explain himself to Martin.
With a resigned sigh, he pulls his phone out of his cardigan pocket and searches for Martin’s contact.
How do you feel about ordering in and watching a documentary at my flat tonight?
Martin’s response is almost instant.
Yeah! That sounds great :) I can pick something up on my way over?
A smile pulls the corners of Jon’s lips upwards, his heart swelling in his chest. He has never thought of himself as the type to act giddy, though he fears that Martin is the exception to many of the things he thinks he knows about himself.
Wonderful. I don’t mind what we have, as long as it’s good food.
OBVIOUSLY I’m not bringing bad food to a date night, Jon <3
He’s giggling at that. He’s actually giggling at a heart emoticon. He’s in far deeper than he thought— all the more reason to talk to Martin.
And that’s exactly what he plans to do.
