SWEET DEBAUCHERY: AN M/M COLLEGE, CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
“But I can’t. It felt like I was stealing time with someone else. Like I was the one doing something wrong.”
The room goes quiet. Even the wine bottle seems to hold its breath.
“Maybe I wanted to prove I could move on. With Rome, I mean. Like if I kissed someone else, if I touched someone else, maybe I’d be free of it”
Vanya grabs my hand.. “But you weren’t.”
Tony studies me for moment, then says, “So you’re gay.”
It’s not a question, but I nod anyway.
“Same,” he says, then shrugs. “Guess you already knew that.”
