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

It was the only area with a cargo elevator, however, and moving anything bigger than a grocery trolley or stroller up the front elevators was forbidden. It was done, but it wasn’t supposed to be, and anyone that did got eyeballed by the few busybodies who made a point of keeping track on who was doing what, be it right or wrong, left or right, good or bad. Having people see what he was about to bring up into Gordy’s place would not be ideal. One or two weird rubber mats wouldn’t raise an eyebrow, but twenty? People would want to know what the heck they were doing with twenty. Especially when they saw the pool and the plastic. If it didn’t trigger a full Dexter-alert, it would at least flick a something-about-this-doesn’t-look-right switch.
