What You Are

Sometimes Daniel and Alex sent text messages to each other during the day, more for sharing some joke than for anything serious, and Alex began to call Daniel ‘Danny’ in front of their friends.


In the evening, they usually alternated in housework, and their roommates watched them in silence while they moved around the room like two dancers in perfect synch.


Then there was the TV, the sofa, the chats, those looks they were sharing more and more often, and even secret smiles.


Alex was acting on and following his feelings, and he knew it was thanks to Daniel.
