Jay: Idk. I like him a lot, but sometimes I think he’s hiding something from me.
Marco: Like another bf?
Jay: Maybe. Sometimes I catch him checking out other guys.
Marco: Dude that’s not ok.
Jay: I know. But I also want to trust him and not dig. Sometimes it can be so hard to be a part of the gay community. Guys can be such players, and when I’m single, I feel like the odd one out bc I just want a partner. I don’t like to do casual.
Marco: Did you and Noah talk about being exclusive?
Jay: Yeah and we agreed.
Marco: Do you want me to have someone trail him?
Jay: What? No. What r u, a mobster?
Marco: If you’re worried, I can get to the bottom of it.
Jay: No, it’s ok. I think I just need to have an honest conversation with him.
Marco: Well, that sounds mature and not shady like I suggested LOL
Jay: Are you awake?
Marco: Yeah, what’s up?
Jay: We broke up
Marco: Fuck. What happened?
Jay: He said he wanted to be single while he’s still young. That it’s nothing against me. I guess he wants to sow his wild oats.
Marco: Did he fucking cheat on you?!
Jay: I asked and he said no. We parted on good terms, but I still feel like shit.
Marco: I’m so sorry. Man, Lawrence is gonna be upset.
Jay: I know I’m afraid to go back to the Y and face him. He’s been telling the whole staff how I’m gonna be his new grandson
Marco: Bud, they’re still gonna love you. What do you normally do after a breakup?
Jay: Hide.
Marco: Ok. Are you hiding now?
Jay: Yeah. I’m in bed. I canceled my plans for the next couple days.
Marco: Alright. If that’s what you need then do it. Just don’t shut me out, ok?
Jay: Alright. Have u taken any beautiful pictures lately?
Marco: Yeah. Here. [pictures of kids playing soccer with soldiers, a singular cedar tree, and the valley of a mountain with a winding river]
Jay: Wow.
Marco: Those boys kicked our asses.
