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.

His inspection had been one of the fastest that Leo had ever experienced, although, in all fairness, Leo did his own repairs and liked to believe that he was one of the most low-maintenance tenants the super had. Even still, it seemed like the man had speed-walked through the apartment, barely flicking a look into the bedroom, the bathroom, or the kitchen, and beelining it for the smoke detector. “Sign here to say you witnessed the battery change and test, will you?” He pointed after Leo scribbled. “And here, to say I left you the fire exit strategy.”


Leo looked at the paperwork. “Kind of pointless, isn’t it? I mean, I’m not even usually home. It’s not like you get a signature the rest of the time.”


The super shrugged. “I don’t make the rules, kid.”
