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

“Ossie’s partially right.” Trev piled the dishes on the counter and began filling up the sink for them to soak. “Dominic and Malachi haven’t played anything remotely like Godless Crisis music in a long time. They need the refresher more than he does. Plus, with as far as they’re traveling for such a short period, I don’t want them to think they’re wasting their time.”


“I’d think a dying friend would be enough to make that entire point moot,” Jett said with a scowl.


“They haven’t stayed as in close contact with Ossie as I have.”


“Why are you defending them? Dominic was treating you like shit, too.”


“Because I need this to work,” Trev hissed. “The last thing I want is for Ossie to regret doing this because the gig turns into a huge embarrassment. I want him to walk off that stage feeling like the king of the world, and if that means I have to put with Dominic’s bad attitude for a few hours, then so be it.”
