Amir has been through so many bad relationships that he finally turns to the horoscopes in his local paper for advice. They claim his happiness is around the corner, but “indigo guides the way.”<br><br>Within the hour, a man comes into the bike shop where Amir works with an indigo bike. Amir’s coworker and ex immediately invites Jae, the cute cyclist, to accompany them and their biking group on their next adventure.<br>Unfortunately, Jae brings along his boyfriend Declan, and Amir wonders if the horoscope meant he could learn from their relationship. At first they seem like a typical couple, but the more Amir pays attention, the more worried he becomes. His fear peaks when he finds out Jae’s bike isn’t the only thing indigo about him ...

Indigo Guides the Way

In this new pocket dimension, which Ken had momentarily breached, their kiss lasted all day. It started with them simply pressing their lips together, but then Jae tilted his head more to one side and came back with more fervor. Soon they were both moving their heads slowly as they kissed, finding the angles they liked best and coming back to them between their other explored positions. There was no exchange of tongue. Instead Jae tightened his hold on Amir’s shoulders and in response Amir slid his grip further up Jae’s arms to pull himself closer. The hollowness of Amir’s chest filled with stars until he was sure Jae could feel the light of it pouring from his mouth.


It ended when it needed to. Amir didn’t know which of them pulled away first or if they had backed off at the same time on some unspoken cue. Jae’s eyes were withdrawn again.
