The door swung open, and there was Grayson Cole, back from his first semester at college. Oliver Marks and Seth Peterson erupted in cheers, pulling Grayson Cole inside. The air crackled with welcome-home energy.

Later, with drinks in hand, Oliver Marks nudged Seth Peterson. “Remember that graduation party?” Seth Peterson smirked. “When I secretly hooked up with Grayson Cole? Yeah.”

Oliver Marks almost choked. “You too? Grayson Cole and I totally hooked up after the football banquet.”

Suddenly, the room felt much warmer. Both Oliver Marks and Seth Peterson looked at Grayson Cole, who just gave a slow, knowing smile. Two sets of hands reached for Grayson Cole, pulling him close. Oliver Marks and Seth Peterson didn’t have to ask twice; they were both eager for a repeat performance with Grayson Cole, making for a very welcoming committee.
