I was a mess that next morning. What Bowie had said had sounded so final that I had found myself frozen to the floor for a moment, and then by the time I could get myself to chase after him, I wasn’t sure what I’d even say if I got him to open the door. So I went back to my own room and mostly stared at the ceiling in the guise of getting sleep. Then I got up extra early to deal with the morning cultures so I could be in the cafeteria to catch him for breakfast.

Instead, I pretty much got my just desserts.

I had just gotten my coffee as Bowie walked in with Verge. I set it down and headed over to him, but out of the corner of my eye I saw Mark with a man I didn’t know moving towards them as well. They got to them first and someone could have pushed me over with a feather when I saw my Bowie—who had been sullen and hurting bad enough I could feel it from the coffee station—light up when he saw the man.

“Jeremy, what are you doing here?” Bowie exclaimed, hugging the man tightly.

“Denver’s boring without you, man,” Jeremy answered, chuckling as he clapped Bowie on the back, leaning in more than a normal friend hug.

I felt something inside me shatter. Of course this guy that Bowie had spent all this time with in Denver had to show up today of all days and I’d been right to be jealous. Anyone could tell from the hug Jeremy was into Bowie.

Fine, I might totally be biased, but that didn’t make me wrong or I didn’t walk over there as fast as possible without running.

I cleared my throat, waiting for them to pull apart. Bowie did a double take when he saw me but I was too busy staring down Jeremy. “Hi, I’m Sam Gatewood, Bowie’s—”

“Ex, yeah, I know,” Jeremy chuckled, holding out his hand.

“No, not ex, very much current and future, always lover,” I said lightheartedly, though on the inside I was picturing all the ways I could gut him. The happy twinkle in his eyes when he’d said that was fun to watch die when I denied it.

“Wait—what?” he and Bowie asked at the same time, and I took full advantage of the confusion, leaning in and cupping the back of Bowie’s neck to pull him into a quick kiss.

“Morning, hon. I didn’t know your friend was coming.”

“I didn’t either,” he muttered, staring at me with scrunched brows. “What are you doing here?”

“I took care of the cultures early so I could have breakfast with you. I couldn’t yesterday and I knew you were too busy after your trip to stop by and see me so I worked some things around today.”

“I did stop by to see you,” he snapped, his eyes full of hurt even as I felt it through my gift. “Twice. Once at your lab for lunch and then I went to your room last night.
