Chapter 3

Billy woke to rather loud snoring and for a moment he nearly forgot he was in Mitch Crestfield’s bed. But not really. That was something he couldn’t really forget. That had been the problem, though, hadn’t it?

He leaned up on his elbow and stared down at the sleeping man. They’d never turned off the bedroom light when they’d fallen asleep, so he could see Mitch in all his vulnerability. His full lips were slightly parted, his cheeks still a little pinked, his dark hair adorably mussed. Billy’s heart squeezed. He should get up, dress, and go. Before the awkward talk.

Mitch’s eyes fluttered open, their blueness so intense Billy’s breath caught in his throat. “Hey.”

He forced a smile. “Hey yourself. I was just getting up to go.”

“Again?”

Billy blinked. “What?”

Mitch shook his head. “It was you who walked out before. You ran away.”

“I-I didn’t.” But he had, actually. In the middle of the night, Billy had gotten out of bed, dressed, and gone home. Without a word to Mitch. “Well, I figured I’d do us a both a favor and save you from telling me to get out.”

The other man shifted until Billy was suddenly flat on his back and Mitch loomed over him, his mouth a grim line.

“What were that last words I said before we went to sleep that night, Billy?”

Billy thought about it. It wasn’t that hard to remember. That night was etched on his brain. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Yeah.” Mitch sighed. “Did that sound like I wanted you out?”

“Well, I…I just thought you’d regret it. You know? You’d been drinking and not thinking.”

“You didn’t even give me a chance, Billy.”

“You could have contacted me after I left,” Billy said, cringing at the accusation in his own voice. “You didn’t.”

“I know. I thought maybe you regretted it yourself.” Mitch straightened and swung out of bed. He walked over to his bathroom and took a terry cloth robe off the back of the door, which he then wrapped around himself. “I figured you needed some time to think. I hoped you’d come back that day, but you didn’t. And the next day I had to go back to the university. I was only home for Dad’s funeral.”

Billy sat up in the bed, hugging his knees. “You were straight. Or I thought you were. I thought you were drunk and so full of grief you would have done anything.”

Mitch rolled his eyes. “Seriously? You think every straight guy who drinks will just fuck the nearest guy?”

“Well.” He blushed. “No.”

Mitch came to sit on the bed not far from Billy. “Did it never occur to you I actually was attracted to you?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

Billy sighed. “Because I’d had a crush on you through high school and I was just Andy’s geeky brother.”

Mitch scooted closer and reached for Billy’s hand. “You just have never gotten your appeal have you? Jesus, don’t you ever look in the mirror? Billy, you are gorgeous. So hot. And you always have been.”

Billy looked away. “Yeah right.
