Gage waved a hand in front of his face. “Earth to Everest.”
“I’m here.”
“You’re nowhere. Go home.”
“I have notes to sort out.”
“You have a boyfriend,” Gage said, then winced. “Sorry. A Bryce.”
Sage capped his marker. “Yeah.”
“Tell Dan if he says, ‘puffy lips’ again I’m soldering his playlist to his ass.”
“Done.”
Sage texted Bryce on the walk back.

Sage laughed out loud. They both arrived on their floor at the same time, smiling when they saw each other.
“Hey,” Bryce said.
“Hey.”
Bryce opened the door, and they went inside, putting their coats on the hooks and kicking their sneakers off. The place smelled like coffee and the lemon they’d left on the counter. Sage locked the deadbolt and turned to face Bryce, who was closer than he’d expected.
“Sage,” Bruce murmured.
They met halfway. Mouths met as hands grabbed each other. Bryce’s fingers curled in Sage’s T-shirt. Sage got his hands on Bryce’s hips and tugged him in. Bryce made a sound and went with it, pushing Sage up against the front door. Sage bit his lip and moaned when Bryce’s thigh rubbed his dick.
“I’ve missed you,” Bryce whispered against Sage’s lips before kissing him again. Sage whimpered, rubbing against Bryce’s thigh. Laughter outside had them breaking the kiss to stare at each other. Sage kept a hand on Bryce’s waist and let the other slide along Bryce’s jaw. Bryce’s eyes were bright and a little wild, and it made Sage’s dick twitch in his jeans.
“Hi,” Bryce murmured
“Hi.”
“I want you.” Bryce kissed him.
“Bedroom.”
Sage took Bryce’s hands and led him into the bedroom. Within a minute, they were naked.
Bryce looked at Sage as Sage looked back at him. This was the first time he was paying attention to Bryce being naked. Sure, he’d seen him naked before, but there had never been any intent behind it. They’d been roommates for a while, so Sage had seen him a couple of times.
Now, he stood and stared. Bryce went to the gym, and it showed. Strong thighs, thick arms, broad shoulders. Sage hadnever considered that attractive but looking at Bryce had his dick hard and leaking.
He raised a hand and stroked Bryce’s chest, feeling the hair on his fingertips. “You’re gorgeous,” he whispered. “I never thought I’d find a man attractive.” Sage paused and looked at Bryce. “This is weird, right?”
“Does it feel weird to you? If it’s too much, we could go back to being friends.”
“Do you want that?” Sage shook his head before Bryce could answer.
“What do you want?” Bryce asked quietly.
Sage swallowed. “You. All of you.”
“Slow,” Bryce said and kissed him again.
