CHAPTER 17

MATTHEW

When Blake left on his road trip, he’d given Matthew a key to his apartment. It felt like a declaration. Blake trusted him, and cared about him. He knew Matthew didn’t want to be at his dad’s place, and was generous enough to make sure Matthew could be somewhere he wanted to be.

They were boyfriends now. It was a relationship level Matthew hadn’t experienced yet. And that level came with a key. Plus, this meant he got to sleep in Blake’s bed and use his laundry detergent.

The first couple of days had been fairly straightforward. He brought his computer and a few of his things over from his dad’s place and idly started job hunting. Not to appease his dad, but because he’d secretly quit his serving job in order to spend All-Star Break with Blake. His boss couldn’t give him the whole week off, and he couldn’t imagine having to do endless diet Coke refills for eleven hours straight when Blake was lying in his bed. So he’d cut his losses.

Matthew had a list of excuses. He was young, and whatever was happening with Blake was new and exciting. The job didn’t pay very well. It wasn’t what he wanted to do with his life (though he wasn’t sure exactly what that was). He was still getting a pity allowance from his mom.

The problem wasn’t that he needed the money, or that he was struggling to find a position in his field of choice. It was more that it embarrassed him to admit to Blake that he was still a fuckup in his mid-twenties who was living off his parents and didn’t have any actual life goals.

Blake had his dream job that he had been working toward since he was a child. Matthew’s mom was a consultant. His dad, well, whatever, but he was working in his industry and making a lot of money. His brothers both easily fell into real Big Boy Careers after pro hockey didn’t work out for them.

Matthew didn’t know what was wrong with him, and he wasn’t ready to show that weakness to Blake. He wanted Blake to see what he was good at. So after a half hour of digging through job posts, thinking that forty hours a week seemed like an awful lot, thank you very much, he moved on.

What was he good at? Well, he hopped in the shower quick and washed his hair. He made his hair look somewhere halfway between sleek and fluffy with Nina’s borrowed hair dryer, then headed into Blake’s bedroom. It was bright out, the middle of the day, and if he knew anything about his usefulness, it was that Blake appreciated his um, nude form. And he was happy to put it to use.

There was a technique to this that he hadn’t fully busted out yet, mostly favoring mirror selfies or afterthought photos when he was already halfway through jerking off. But he figured now that Blake was his official boyfriend, he could put a little effort into it.
