Luke

Luke: Thought you were just getting drinks.

Kent: Seb isn’t feeling well, so we left.

Luke: Sorry, hope he feels better.

Kent: Thanks, it’s just a migraine, He’ll be okay once he lies down.

Luke: What did you say to Nico?

Kent: You should ask him what he said. He cursed at me in Italian.

That sounded like Nico. Not the cursing part. But if he got mad at someone, he’d do it in Italian.

What happened that he swore at Kent? Whatever it was, it changed Nico’s mood. His step lost its spring and his smiles had turned stiff.

Fuck, fuckety, fuck, fuck, fuck! This was supposed to be a time to relax and have fun, not ramp up his anxiety. Maybe bringing Nico had been a mistake. Not because of Nico, but he should have figured Kent would be jealous. Shit. That was part of the reason he asked Nico. Wasn’t it?

The fact he couldn’t answer it easily told Luke this had gotten more complicated. Almost from the time they met, Nico had been good to him. Things seemed to just happen at the time Luke needed something. There was always too much food for one person, so Luke should eat with him or it would go bad. When the summer was over, Nico planned to send the stuff he’d bought for the apartment to his family, so no reason for Luke to kick in half. There was never an expectation for anything in return.

But they were also just friends. Nico made that clear when he told Luke how his next boyfriend should treat him. Which was consistent with everything he’d said before. Nico wasn’t ready to date.

So why had he agreed to practice with Luke?

Hell, why had Luke even suggested it?

Because he enjoyed the contact.

They both had.

And it didn’t necessarily mean anything more than that. You didn’t need to date someone to have sex. Friends with benefits, no strings attached, fuck buddies; those were things. They weren’t really Luke’s thing, but . . . .

No. They weren’t. And he and Nico had to live together.

Complicating that would end badly.

And what was that bit about screening Luke’s next boyfriends? One minute, Luke was sure Nico was about to suggest they try dating for real, and then Nico said that.

Okay, so the guy was hurting and didn’t want to go there again soon. Luke got that. One hundred percent. He’d gone all in on Kent. Thought they were in love and were planning their future. Turned out, that reality existed only in Luke’s heart and mind.

Trying to figure Nico out, however, was maddening.

He always did nice things for others, and then pretended it wasn’t anything. Just like now. No way he really meant he’d okay Luke’s next boyfriend.

The better question was, how did Luke get Nico to admit what he really wanted?

“Luke?” Hearing his name snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned at the same time as Nico. Mr. Rayner stood behind them, his ever-present smile as disarming as ever. “You have a minute?”

Rayner looked young
