DONNIE’S room looked too small that morning.

His parents had been pretty decent about letting him stay the night at Yandro’s this past week. Of course, he was reasonably certain they were pretending he was just staying with Chelle or house-sitting, but that was fine too. Yandro had come over, been nice to his mom, and told her he cared for Donnie very much and was hoping their relationship was all right with her. She’d cried. It had been awkward—but awesome too, in a way. It had been everything Donnie had wanted—as real and as important as Chelle’s first boyfriend, except better, because her first boyfriend was a douche bag who’d cheated, and Donnie had no doubts.

He still hadn’t topped yet—and he had the feeling he might have to wait a while for that one. That was okay—after sex for a week? He was appreciating how very much he had to learn.

So that first day when he woke up, after spending a week learning everything about sex and a whole lot about being with another person, Donnie realized that he’d grown.

His room had trophies from baseball—since pony league in kindergarten—all on a shelf, still papered with baseball paper, because he liked it. There were still baseball valances on the windows and a little dresser with his fish tank on top, and an almost outdated video game system in the corner by the little TV monitor he’d gotten for Christmas this year.

It was a great room. He loved it. He loved the shape of it (not quite square—the ceiling sloped down in the corner to accommodate the angle of the roof) and the way the mattress felt under his back. He loved memories of him and Chase and Kevin playing everything from Monopoly to Clue up here when it was raining outside. Kevin had been clueless, not paying attention to anything but the game, but Chase— something in Chase’s eyes told Donnie that Donnie had it pretty damned good, especially when his mother put pizza bites on a plate and brought them up for the boys while they played. Donnie had never taken this room for granted.

Donnie had grown up happy—and he was grateful. But now he was ready to grow up completely, and he was only a little nervous. Alejandro may not know it yet, but he was going to get a new roommate—a permanent one. Donnie loved this room, but after three years, he was pretty sure he loved Alejandro so very much more.

That day, Chase came over to his house for the first time in ages. They sat in his room and played video games, and Chase kicked Donnie’s ass.

“God! How did you think that far ahead!” Donnie complained. “It makes me crazy! I don’t know how you do it!” Chase smiled and shrugged. “I’m just a dumb jock, Don. Don’t confuse me with someone with a brain.” Donnie rolled his eyes. Chase had managed two years of state college while working at the same time. For the last
