When Jason got there, The Lord Grey
was busy, as it almost always was at that time of the evening. He started work immediately.
In a lull, he and Keith rested on the counter, side by side, their bodies
touching. It was comforting to be close
to each other, a natural intimacy and companionship.
“D’ya think Cody and Lou will work it out?” asked Keith.
“I dunno. Cody is bi. He’ll need women. Or anyway, lust after them.”
“Well, I like women too. I
dunno. I kinda think that if my dad
hadn’t chucked me out, I’d still be there, straight.”
“I thought he threw you out because you were gay?” asked Jason, close
enough to Keith to feel the warmth of his body, to smell his body, fresh and
older sweat after a day of work, Keith’s own essence. Being there with him at that time seemed
exactly right. Perfect.
“There is that,” conceded Keith.
Their conversation was interrupted by several blokes coming up at the
same time to the bar for drinks. Jason wondered
why it always happened like that, like starlings or pigeons.
