Caleb had definitely had better time with the guys he’d grown up with before his announcement about Chase, but he wasn’t going to let them take away the first good thing he’d had since the accident that had left him comatose for weeks. He’d lost everything from before, had lost Sarah – who was apparently his girlfriend – and he’d had to find himself all over again. So he waited outside Chase’s apartment, wanting to see the other man more than anything and just prove that he loved Chase and wasn’t going anywhere.
“We can talk about this until we’re both blue in the face, it won’t change what I know is true. If you ask one of them about me, they’ll find a way to convince you.”
Caleb rolled his eyes, leaning to rest his forehead on Chase’s. “That was who you were, Chase. I don’t need to remember that. I know the new you, the one now.” he replied, reaching to run his hands through brown hair. “I love you.”
“I shouldn’t answer this. Your friends won’t like it. But yes. I do.”
“Chase, I thought we’ve talked about this.” Caleb replied, reaching to pull the other to him. “They can be mad all they want, it’s not going to change anything.”
