It was just barely light when the Maserati pulled into the car wash driveway. Michael stopped the car and they both got out.
Kevin wondered why Michael wanted to bring him there of all places. Maybe because that’s where they’d met again after all the years apart? He didn’t know. He waited.
Michael had brought his briefcase. He set it on the hood of the car, carefully Kevin noticed, and snapped it open. He withdrew papers and handed them to Kevin.
Michael smiled. “Funny. No, Kevin. It’s the deed to the car wash. It’s yours.”
His heart thudded almost painfully in his chest. “What?”
“I bought this place for you. It was always for you.” Michael came to stand directly in front of him. “I want to protect you and take care of you always. Everything I have, everything I own, it’s all yours, too. But, this car wash, I want it to be yours only. It brought us together. If you hadn’t lost your job and got hired by Lewis here, we never would have met again. I can’t imagine how empty my life would have been without you in it, and I’m so glad I don’t have to.”
“God, are you trying to make me cry again?” Kevin laughed shakily. “This, this is so cool. I can’t believe you’d do this.”
“If something happens to me—”
Kevin hugged him tight. “Don’t even say that.”
“Shhh. I want you to be okay, no matter what. No matter what the laws are at the time or what’s going on with family or friends, I want you to be safe and secure if something happens to me.”
“I don’t want to think about that.”
“I know. And it will be a long time,” Michael assured him. He tilted Kevin’s face up to kiss him. “Love you.”
“I love you. If I’m lucky, I’ll go first,” Kevin said fiercely.
Michael shook his head. “I couldn’t handle that.” He wiped a tear rolling down Kevin’s cheek. “Anyway, this is supposed to be a happy moment. Want to go to breakfast?”
“Uh-huh.” Kevin glanced back at the Maserati and then grinned at Michael. “Hey, have you ever thought about us having sex in your car?”
Michael looked horrified. “Are you kidding? I don’t want sexual fluids on my seats.”
Kevin kissed Michal’s jaw. “Don’t worry, babe. I know this car wash that will detail it, no questions asked.”

Noah and Charlie grew up in the same neighborhood. They’d always been friends, though never close. When Charlie is left alone after the death of his family, however, Noah is the only friend that sticks around after Charlie practically becomes a hermit.
Determined to get through to Charlie, Noah invents a fake identity on the computer to talk with him. And while Charlie still keeps Noah at arm's length, he opens up to his new computer buddy.
Finally, Noah’s dream comes true when his friendship with Charlie changes to include sex, but each time they are together, Charlie pulls away afterward. Every time Noah tries to get through to him, Charlie grows even more distant. Then Charlie tells Noah’s disguised Internet persona that he doesn’t have a boyfriend, merely a neighbor with whom he has sex.
Crushed, and in order to protect himself from further heartache, Noah begins to live a life separate from Charlie. But Charlie realizes soon enough that he misses Noah in his life, that he must get past his grief and go after the man he has come to love.
