One day he goes to a local comic con and meets a handsome artist there who draws wonderful and diverse comic book characters.<br><br>Billy is instantly smitten, but he's far too shy to ask Scott out on a date, so instead he asks Scott if he'd want to collaborate on a new comic book with him.<br><br>Because that will be easier than a date, right?

Billy's Geeky Quest

That evening when he was bored at work, Billy texted Rosa. I met my ideal husband today.


Oh, really?she replied, with several winking emojis.


Yeah, Billy wrote. He was selling his art at the comic fair, and he drew a chubby non-binary character! plus he’s super hot.


Sounds perfect, Rosa sent back. So, when’s the wedding?


Billy sent some eye rolling emojis. I haven’t proposed yet, Rosa.


Well, hurry up, she replied, if you’re in time for September we can have a double wedding.


I want my own wedding, Billy texted back. No offense, but I want a big gay wedding all to myself. And a big gay cake all to myself too.


“Um, no?” Billy muttered to himself as he texted back. He won’t be into me. He probably dates other cute hipsters.


Rosa replied with all capitals, YOU’RE A CUTE HIPSTER. You should just ask him.
