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

“Maybe longer. Maybe it’s been a year. You haven’t been around much, Leo. And when you are, you’re not really here because you’re either tired or, I don’t know, thinking about fucking work or some damn thing.” Fig shook his head, flicking his hair off his face, but Leo had no doubt the effort was done to fight tears more than anything else. “So now you know. And now you can tell me what to do. Because I don’t want any of this, Leo. I don’t want to be different. I know the two of you are…” He paused, trying to find a word or a thought.


Fig sucked in a sharp breath. “I was going to say ‘okay with that.’ I know the two of you are okay with that. But I don’t feel different. I don’t even think that I feel gay. I feel the same as I always have, just that now, I feel like I like Jeff a little…more. And I don’t know how to process that. How in the hell am I going to live like this?”
