[ Caleb has barely gotten back to the townhouse and curled up with Nate when, as he's reaching for his phone, it buzzes. His heart leaps at seeing Chris' name, the person he was about to text.

[ They both have people in their lives beyond each other and they've balanced that so well. In this moment Caleb wants none of that. He wants his boyfriends and he wants to do anything he can to make it okay and yet knows he likely can't ever truly do anything to fix this. Even as much as he wishes it had been him and not them. ]
