The next morning, Colin texted Jemma while Nick was in the shower: advice much appreciated. But I’m good now.

Her response back was immediate and insistent. Well? Did you make a big move? THE big move?

Colin blushed, as an array of images flashed through his memory.

Kissing Nick.

Touching Nick.

Nick’s lips around his cock.

But it wasn’t necessarily just the sex that Colin focused on when he thought about last night, even as fucking incredible as it had felt. He’d loved hanging out with Nick, each offering snippy comments about Gossip Girl and growing sleepy, cuddling together on the couch. And then heading upstairs, and the awkwardness Colin had feared never becoming an issue. Wordlessly, Nick had grabbed his cell phone charger and had slid into the opposite side of Colin’s bed.

They hadn’t exactly cuddled all night, but Colin couldn’t deny that waking up to see Nick’s dark hair against the pillow next to his had been a life-changing moment.

The sex had been awesome. But there was something deeper about waking up the morning after, both trying to hide their morning breath, all while not being able to take their hands or eyes off each other.

When Nick had finally slid out of bed, claiming he desperately needed a shower, Colin hadn’t been able to help the giddy smile that now seemed permanently plastered to his face.

He couldn’t express all of this to Jemma in words, and frankly he didn’t really want to. So he just sent her a blushing emoji and hoped she would leave it be. He should have known better.

Her next text came in even quicker. Really O’Connor? Gonna make me drag it out of you? Or should I have Gabe text Nick?

Colin typed out his reply, his smile still giddy despite Jemma being a pest. Gabe loves you a lot. But probably not that much.

He put the phone down and decided that this morning he could forgo his normal run and maybe share a romantic breakfast with Nick. He could make Nick breakfast, Colin realized as he scrubbed down in the shower. He had eggs and some frozen sausage in the freezer, and he could even go out and grab some pastries and fresh orange juice.

Throwing on shorts and a t-shirt, he ran a haphazard hand through his hair and called it good. After all, Nick hadn’t seemed to mind this morning.

“Hey O’Connor,” Nick’s voice echoed through the bathroom. Colin looked up and Nick was leaning in the doorway, looking like model in jeans and a t-shirt. “I’m starved.”

“I was about to go out and grab some groceries and make breakfast.”

“Or...” Nick said slowly, “we could grab breakfast together?”

Colin didn’t need Nick to explain the expression on his face. He was concerned that Colin’s first instinct was to stay on his island and avoid the world.

“Right, that makes more sense,” Colin said, like it wasn’t a big deal. And it wasn’t. Or at least, it shouldn’t have been. It was just breakfast.

He grabbed his keys and they climbed into the car. When they were driving over the bridge, Colin glanced over at Nick.
