Entering the living room, Patrick pulled David to the side. “New lover?” he asked, one eyebrow raised in a peaked arch.

A chill settled around David’s shoulders. He hadn’t considered his nosy friends’ take on his relationship with Trace. Their not-so-thoughtful teasing could ruin something as gentle and new as what was building between them. “Fuck, no!” he answered boisterously. “You’ve seen my type. He’s just a friend helping out. More than I can say for you fuckers.” Turning to watch the others pass, Trace bit his lip when he heard David’s response to some too-quiet question, one he could easily figure out.

Trace grinned at the playful banter. This was hardly any different from a night out with some of his own friends. He could handle this.
