One good thing Chris found about not being in a real relationship with Morgan was that he didn't have to deal with the inconveniences that came with real relationships. No answering to someone, no explaining where you'd been, no arguing over inconsequential things.

Except the last part, the arguing part, seemed to happen kind of a lot for not being in a real relationship. More than Chris liked, really, since he'd never been one for fights or disagreements or anything that involved confrontation. He was pretty happy with life on a regular basis and the whole

'not being in a relationship' thing had helped a lot with the avoidance of disagreements.

Until Morgan Daniels, that was.

Chris sighed, running a hand through his hair and looking at Morgan across the table in Morgan's kitchen. Chris had arrived not more than a half hour ago, take-out in hand, and already they were bickering. "Fine. Jesus. Forget I asked."

"Chris," Morgan said in that patronizingly slow tone that Chris loathed, "I'm not really interested in a dinner party with firemen."

"The hell, dinner party? It's a fucking barbeque on Sunday afternoon."

It grated on him even more when he'd made it all the way to the driveway without Morgan coming after him, but that was nothing unusual. Morgan never came after him when they argued, and their disagreements never varied from this same pattern. Depending on whose house they were in, either Chris or Morgan ended up leaving the scene before things escalated to the shouting level, and the other person never chased after the one who'd left.

That would only be something people in a real relationship did.

He jammed his helmet on his head and straddled his bike, glad that he'd ridden his motorcycle instead of driving his car.

Chris had no intention of going straight home, and his bike was really good for blowing off steam.

He rode for an hour and a half through the winding streets of Oceanside until his growling stomach forced him to stop for something to eat. Chris downed a couple of fast-food tacos, thinking regretfully of his favorite Chinese food that he'd brought to Morgan's that night and was now probably gracing the inside of the garbage can.

Stomach full, Chris hopped back on his bike and took the long way home, passing close to the beach and glimpsing one or two couples sitting near the fire pits. He let himself pretend 78
