After spending high school in the closet, the last thing Jett Walker wants is to go to his thirty year class reunion. Then the one person he was never able to resist decides to attend -- punk rocker Trev Chambers. Trev was the epitome of everything Jett wanted to be, and now he’s reuniting the band he made famous for a final blowout concert. Though nobody back home knows he’s gay, Jett decides to go. He needs closure. One weekend of pretending he’s straight is more than worth it. When he discovers Trev lives less than two hours away, Jett seeks him out on a whim. The punk rocker has grown up, but as far as Jett’s concerned, Trev is more appealing than ever. He’s also available. One brief conversation turns into a date, which raises the question ... are they just living in nostalgia, or can they find a way to build a real future together?

Flesh and Kisses

“Or maybe I would’ve decked you because you were the only one who could see through my act.”


“If it got me a kiss, it probably would’ve been worth it.”


His teasing tone was so different from when he’d been talking about his dead boyfriend, Jett had to join in and laugh with him. They relaxed as their drinks arrived, turning to more innocuous topics as Jett tested out each beer. Jett talked about some of the bad dates Tatum had tried setting him up on, while Trev told stories about groupies that occasionally showed up at the store, giving credence to the way the clerk had treated Jett. Jett cringed at how desperate some of them seemed to be, though Trev never did more than poke light fun at the worst of them. He still acted a little shell-shocked that he had any fans at all, an attitude Jett didn’t get.


“I lost my football scholarship because of that damn song,” he commented as they were finishing up their lunches.
