Alec sat on the couch watching television while Christian concentrated on his computer. Christian ran the math and sciences tutoring center for the community college, and his boss had set him up mentoring a new employee, Noel. Alec hadn’t met the guy yet, but already Noel annoyed the hell out of Alec. Noel had sent Christian a text while they were having dessert, and now Christian was chatting online with him after having emailed him a bunch of stuff he’d asked for. Stuff, Christian had mumbled absently, that Noel should already have. It was Friday night. Didn’t this guy understand Christian had not only a life but also a boyfriend? Alec once again wished Christian could have found a job at the university instead of the community college so they could at least see each other a little during the day. However, walking out on his job as an assistant instructor the year before had really hurt Christian’s chances of returning to the university. Their mentor, Dr. Frances, had been understanding, but it was hard to ask strangers to be understanding in that way. Christian was very lucky to have found another academic job at all, so Alec tried not to complain.

Alec caught Christian staring at him, and he realized he must have a pretty sour look on his face. Getting up from the couch, Alec tried his best to smile. He kissed Christian on the top of his head and then moved into the kitchen.

“Sorry this is taking so long. Guess I should have just texted back and said I’d send him that stuff in the morning.” Christian bit his lip, looking both guilty and worried.

Alec didn’t like that. Christian worried far too much. He still struggled to find a balance when it came to considering the feelings of both others and himself. However, Alec didn’t know what he could do or say to help. Did Christian really believe every move he made had to be perfect for Alec to keep loving him? Christian’s anxiety earlier in the evening told Alec that might be the case. Alec smiled again to try to put Christian at ease. “It’s okay.” Alec started heating some water in the kettle, and then he pulled out two mugs and began browsing the teas in the cabinet. “We need more tea when we go out. What kind do you want?”

“We still have lemon ginger?”

Alec found the box. “Yeah, there are three bags. We’ll get some more tomorrow.” He placed one tea bag in his mug and two in Christian’s before throwing the box into the plastic container in the recycling corner. “We need to take the recycling down, too.”

Christian typed quickly for a minute, leaning back and sighing as he waited for a response.

“So,” Alec said, “is this guy doing okay? He seems to need a lot of help.”

“He’s doing fine. He’s just really needy. He wants to talk to me every single day about his sessions. He always has questions.”

Does he think you’re cute?
