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 wasn’t sure if he should let Gordy go in first or not, but that question got answered for him when Gordy seemed to forget how the door functioned—simply reaching for the knob and staring at it when it turned but didn’t grant them entry.


“Gordy? Do you have your keys? Are they…?” He didn’t bother to finish the question. Rather, he took a quick look at the pockets of Gordy’s hoodie, picked the one that appeared to be sagging, and slipped his hand into it. “There we go,” he said, pulling out a bunch of keys. “We got this.”


He kept his eyes mostly on Gordy as he thumbed through the keys until he found the one that looked the most like his own apartment key. When that didn’t work, he picked the one closest to that. It slid in, the lock turned, and Leo smiled at Gordy. “Bingo.”


The only thing Gordy said was, “Careful.”
