“Before we go inside, I have a question.”

I turned to look at Teo. His expression was serious and I tried to stay calm. I had no idea what was about to come out of his mouth.

“I want to tell more people about us. Our brothers to start.”

“Are you sure? It’s only been a matter of days.”

“I don’t see the point in hiding, but if I tell them about us then I’m outing you. I don’t want to rush you if you’re not ready.”

“I’m ready.”

It was strange that he seemed willing to be passive in the bedroom, but was eager to take the lead in other matters. But the more I thought about it, it was just who Teo was.

Straightforward. Outgoing. Proud.

“Good.”

“We could tell the twins first,” I suggested.

“Excellent,” he said, practically beaming. “Oh, one more question. Your bed or mine tonight?”

We didn’t make it one room into the house before we bumped into Aiden.

“You two look cozy.”

“Yeah-”

“We’re boyfriends. Wanna fight about it?” Teo nearly yelled.

Not exactly how I would’ve approached it, but upon further consideration it was one hundred percent Teo.

“About time. This one’s”–Aiden poked me in the chest–“been pining after you all semester.”

“Shut up!” I punched his arm almost as hard as I could and got no reaction, which wasn’t a surprise. His bicep was three times the size of my fist.

“Pining you say?”

I gathered the courage to make eye contact with Teo. The look on his face was a mixture of happiness and smarm and if I wasn’t in love with him, I’d have been a brat and stormed off or something else equally as dramatic.

“Hey, take it easy on my boy.” My boy? “Can’t blame a guy for having good taste. Jocks are hot. Where were you guys anyway? It’s freezing out there.”

“At Miller, they were showing Clue,” Teo answered for us.

“Wow. Date night already. This is serious.”

“Good night, Aiden,” I said, dragging Teo toward the stairs.

“Don’t keep the whole house up tonight!” he called after us. “I like to use a ball gag with the loud ones!”

When we were alone and almost in our room, Teo stopped us. “You’re not mad at me, are you? I really wanted to tell someone and it just came out like that.”

“I’m not mad. A little surprised if I’m being honest.”

“You need to always be honest with me.”

“It was very blunt. I don’t want to tell our parents like that.”

“Oh God, no! I knew Aiden would be fine with it.”
