Living in downtown Toronto can be expensive and frustrating, but Leo is willing to deal with the traffic and working the overtime in order to experience everything else the city has to offer. Or would be, if he had any energy left to do so. The fact that his upstairs neighbour is making more noise that a herd of elephants isn't helping things either. Tired, irritated, and on the verge of losing his patience, Leo knows that things have got to change.<br><br>Gordy is one of the most attractive young men that Leo has ever met, and Leo has no doubt in his mind that Gordy has been using those good looks to get whatever he wants for a very long time. So when Gordy starts turning on the charm, Leo can't help but wonder if it's actual interest or merely appeasement.<br><br>Together they're going to try and figure out just what can be done with Gordy's new roommate -- an energetic, excitable, and very noisy young goat whose visit comes with a deathbed promise and a tight family bond. What Leo doesn't realise is that she also comes with an ability to make him understand more about himself than he could have ever imagined he needed to learn.

Gordy's Got a Problem

He had already stepped out of his overalls and was rolling them into a ball to toss them in for cleaning when his shift leader, Klaus, stepped into the change room.


“Home,” Leo said, stepping around him. “I’ve got a headache and I need to pass out for a while to see if I can shake it off.”


“You mean sleep it off,” Klaus scoffed.


Leo shrugged. “If it’s your intention to come in here and give me shit for actually going out on a Friday night, after working at least one out of two days in the last ten weekends, then I’d say you’re probably making a bad decision and you might want to give it another thought before continuing.” He lined up his ball of clothes and sent them flying, basketball style, at the hamper. “Because, I get it…it was probably irresponsible after having said that I’d come in. But I can just make sure I don’t say that I’m coming in anymore if that’s how we’re going to play it.”
