THIRTEEN

What a change two months could make.

Not even two months, Taylor amended, as he looked at the feast which had been laid out so thickly on the table that Taylor expected it to groan under the weight. They were having Danica’s friend Priya, and her family, over for Thanksgiving dinner, and there was enough food for an army, it felt like.

It had been the end of September, almost October when Dane had moved in, and now, it was full on into autumn and heading toward winter. Dane had a job, working for the construction company where Taylor’s mother worked as a receptionist. The hours were long sometimes, but the pay was good, good enough that Dane was saving up some money and had even been able to pay some rent for the small apartment he still rented in Taylor’s house.

Everything was good, and yet, Taylor sometimes just looked around, as he was doing now, and tried to remind himself that this might not work out. He would wait for the other shoe to fall, for Dane to get restless again, for Dane to run. Their pairing was unlikely to work in the long term, with the age difference not to mention the different personalities. It was better for Taylor to stay just a little bit cautious.

Even if it was beyond nice to have Dane here for this, their first major holiday together. Taylor had never had a boyfriend before, and there were definite benefits. Many of them. But something inside him told him, some pessimistic voice deep in his brain, that he was never going to get what he wanted from Dane. Not really.

Life was good, though, he had to admit. Maybe this was just temporary, but for now, he was happy. He had a really gorgeous, and very good in bed, boyfriend, a mother who knew that he was gay and had accepted him, which was more, he knew, than a lot of people got. And, most importantly, he thought to himself as there was a knock on the door and what felt like a small tornado brushed past him to get it, he had his sister really, truly back.

Danica pulled open the door and launched herself at her friend, clutching her into a fierce hug. Ever since getting her clean bill of health, Danica had been living her life with far more gusto than ever, and as painful as it was for someone so young to have learned that, she had more joy in her life for having been at risk of losing it than anyone else Taylor knew.

She would never take that life for granted, and it was good to see that something positive could come out of something so crappy.

Dane came downstairs, freshly showered and with his long hair braided back, in the casual, but nice, clothes that he wore when he was trying to impress. This was all so new to Dane, or at least, it had been a long time since he had had it.
