“Really?” they ask. “I’m not moving too fast for you?”

“Maybe,” I answer truthfully. “But you’re right. I don’t want you to have to stay there, and it makes more sense for us to share than getting two separate places.”

Cy moves their hand to my head, pressing the back of it against my forehead. “Are you feeling okay?” they ask. “There’s no way you just agreed with me and admitted I’m right. Were you abducted by aliens or something?”

“Knock it off,” I tell them, but I can’t hide my hint of a smile.

Their eyes go wide as Cy fights off a laugh. “Did they probe you?”

My cheeks heat. Not because of the joke, but because of what we were talking about before. Cy’s not-so-subtle hints that they want to have sex with me. I might be new to a lot of this, but I’m not sure how this works. I’m on board if I’m the one doing the fucking, but the idea of Cy fucking me …

I shove Cy toward the wall. “Shut up. Or I might probe you later.”

“Don’t threaten me with a good time,” Cy says with a chuckle. “Come on, let’s go talk to the supervisor. You can probe me afterwards.” They wink at me, not waiting for a response before they walk down the hall.

I take a moment to catch my breath and tell my dick to go down. It’s not going to be a great first meeting if I show up with a hard-on.

Cy knocks on the door when I catch up. It opens, showing the face of an older guy, probably around my dad’s age. “Hello?” he asks.

“Hey, I’m Theo. I’m looking for the supervisor, Noah. My friend Eric lives here. He said there’s a flat available for rent. I was hoping to see it and talk about the possibility of moving in.”

“Right, Eric’s friend. He texted me about you. I’m Noah. Hang on and I’ll grab the key so you can take a look at the place.” Noah closes the door for a moment, and I glance at Cy. They give me an encouraging smile, but it doesn’t take long before the door opens again. “It’s this way.” Noah leads us down the hall until he stops at another door. He pulls the key from his pocket and opens it to an apartment that looks similar to Eric’s, if it was empty.

“I’m sure Eric told you, but the rentals aren’t very big. It’s mostly singles living here. Are the two of you both looking to move in?” Noah’s eyes go from me to Cy. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”

“It’s Cypress, or you can call me Cy. They/them pronouns. And yeah, we’re kind of a package deal.” Cy wraps their arm around my shoulders, pulling me into them. I fight the urge to pull away. It takes a moment to remind myself that there’s no reason to hide here. Noah has no clue about us being stepsiblings, and it’s probably better to figure out before we move in if the guy has an issue with us.

But Noah doesn’t even flinch at Cy’s statement that we’re together. “Great. Well, come on in and have a look at the place. If you’re still interested after, then we can talk about rent and policies.”

Cy leads me from the living room slash kitchen to the tiny bedroom. There’s already what looks like a queen size bed frame there along with a couple of nightstands. “Does this come with the apartment?” Cy asks.

“If you want it,” Noah says with a shrug. “The previous tenant left it, and I didn’t feel like hauling it out. You canget a new mattress and use it though; it looks to be in good shape.”

Cy looks at me, the question clear in their eyes. They’re looking for my approval on the place. It’s tiny, but it’ll do for now. “Let’s talk numbers,” I tell Noah. “We’re interested.”

Cy looks out the window of the car at our parents’ house, then at me. “Ready?” they ask.

We figured out the money and made a payment for the first month’s rent, meaning the apartment is ours as soon as we want to move in. But all of Cy’s things are still at home and most of mine too. I ordered a mattress online to deliver straight to the apartment so we won’t have to transport it, but I can’t avoid getting the rest of our stuff. We left Cy’s car parked there and took my car back together.

I nod, and Cy gets out of the car, walking up the steps. As we make our way through the house, I keep half expecting Dad or Selene to pop out, but it doesn’t look like anyone is around. “Grab your stuff,” I tell Cy, and we split our separate ways. Yesterday I was in a hurry to get out, afterthe run in with Dad, but I still grabbed a good amount of clothes. I focus on gathering up my laptop, charge wires, and other necessities. When I get all my things together, I head for Cy’s room.

They’re moving clothes from their closet to a suitcase open on the bed. It’s a bit of a mess. The heap of clothes looks like too much to fit. “Where are you gonna put all that?” I ask.

Cy turns around, placing one hand on their hip. “I need clothes.”

“Yeah,” I agree, but my hand pulls out a sweater. “But it’s the middle of July. We’ve got time to figure out some of this.”

They take a step closer to me, their hand covering my grip on the sweater. “Do you have any idea how much that sweater costs? It’s cashmere.”

“Are we really gonna argue over a sweater?” I ask with a laugh.

Cy’s grip tightens on my hand as they use the grip to pull me closer to them. Our lips meet, and I stumble back a step, falling onto the bed. Cy moves their hand to their crotch, adjusting their dick. “Damn, you have any idea how tempting it is to see you spread out on my bed? Fine,I can come back for the rest another time. Let’s go to our apartment. I want to break it in the right way.” Cy’s hand runs up my thigh, teasing the outline of my dick through my shorts.

“Ahem,” the sound of Selene clearing her throat as she knocks on the doorframe draws our attention. “Hope you weren’t planning on leaving without telling me goodbye,” she tells us.

“We, uh…” I trail off, not sure what to say. Unlike Dad, she doesn’t seem pissed about finding us in a compromising situation. If anything, from the smile on her face, it looks like she’s trying not to laugh.

“We weren’t sure if you knew,” Cy says. “And we kind of figured you’d be as freaked out about finding out as Ben was.”
