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 gripped it and pulled back, keeping the door nice and tight against the doorframe, doing his best to smile at the super the whole time. “Just one second, Gordy,” he said, keeping his voice bright and cheerful. “I need a minute here.” He turned back to the super. “You’re not starting here, are you?”


Suspicion darkened the super’s man’s expression. “I am.”


“Ah, oh boy.” Leo blew a long breath and pointed at the door. “Yes. Yes, this was my, uh, my ‘thing.’” He finger-quoted the word with his free hand. “I guess we, uh, we didn’t think you would be up here so quickly.”
