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

For a long moment, neither Gordy nor Leo said anything. They just stared down the empty hallway until they were able to pull themselves together. The sweat on Leo’s back had pasted his shirt to his skin and he was suddenly freezing. The only thing he could think to do was step back into the apartment. He shut the door after Gordy followed him in and ran his hand through his hair. “Well, that was…”


“Unbelievable!” Gordy laughed, somewhat manically. “I mean, did that just happen?” Gordy’s expression was shocked but also wildly impressed, as if he’d just stepped off a roller coaster and was already deciding to go back for a second time.


Leo, on the other hand, was suddenly and completely exhausted. “I think our little friend might know we’ve got something going on in here.”
