Billy is trans masc and, admittedly, a bit of a geek. 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

He had shaved off his beard, though. And he looked real cute all fresh faced and smooth.


“Pretty sure Ulysses didn’t complain this much in the cartoon,” Scott sassed.


Billy put his hands on his hips and mock-gasped. “How dare you speak to your father like that, Telemachus. I should put you over my knee right now.”


Scott grinned slyly. “This is waykinkier than I was expecting it to be.”


Billy felt his face flush but he laughed it off. “Yeah, that…came out a bit kinky. Oops, I guess?”


“Don’t let me stop you,” Scott teased. He grabbed the handle of his wheely case with one hand, and offered his other hand to Billy. “C’mon, Ulysses, the universe needs you.”


Billy smiled happily, and took Scott’s hand. “Our journey begins!”


Inside the hotel, they got their passes and goodie bags, and followed the signs for vendors, trying not to get too distracted by the geeky merch being set up, and people prepping their cosplays.
