“And it went well?” God, I hoped it had.

“Oh yeah. He’s, uh…I’m not sure if I should say anything, but he’s bisexual, so…”

“Does anyone else know about him?”

Teo shook his head.

“I wouldn’t tell anyone else. It’s his business.”

“Oh I know that.” He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. “It’s not like he told me not to tell you. He knows we’re inseparable. And it’s not like he’s going to tell everyone about us.”

“Okay, okay.” Teo laid his head in my lap and I started stroking his hair. “Did he say if he was seeing anyone?”

Teo smirked. “He said it was complicated.”

“That can’t be good.”

With a shrug, he said, “We don't have to talk about Evan all day, Zach. What are we going to do the rest of the afternoon?”

“I think they're showing Clue tonight in Miller Auditorium.”

“Is that a movie?”

“How do you not know Clue? It's one of my favorite movies.”

Teo shrugged. “I always fall asleep when we watch a movie.”

“I'll just get you hopped up on sugar and caffeine then so you have to see the whole thing.”

“Can we run to the CVS in town? I’m in the mood for peanut butter cups.”

“I knew I put my snow tires on last week for a good reason,” I said. “Of course I can take you to get your peanut butter cups.”

Teo smiled and took a deep breath. Staring down at him, I couldn’t believe my luck. I could look at him as much as I wanted to now and I didn’t need to worry about getting caught or seeming creepy. Teo was my boyfriend now. I was supposed to stare at him.

“Well, I can’t drive us into town with you half in my lap.”

“What time does the movie start?” Teo asked.

“I think it was seven.”

Teo looked at his smartwatch, then fiddled with it for a minute. “Let’s take a nap instead,” he said, pulling one of the blankets over us. “I set an alarm. We can drive into town to get our snacks then go to the movie.”

I wasn’t going to argue with that plan.

“I’m sad that Mr. Green wasn’t actually gay” was the first thing Teo said when we left the auditorium after the movie.

“Why is that?”

“In spite of the few moments where it was used for jokes, he seemed fairly accepted for a movie from the eighties set in the fifties, or whenever it was. I forget.”

“So you liked it?”

Teo nodded. “I can see why it’s one of your favorites. You remind me of Mrs. White sometimes, especially when you get angry.”

I wasn’t going to argue with that. He was right. “Just remember what she did to her husbands the next time you test my patience.”

“Husbands?!”
