Bret paced the apartment like a caged animal, every step echoing his growing panic. The clock on the wall ticked relentlessly, each second stretching into eternity. Ten minutes had passed since he’d left Steve and Bianca downstairs. Then fifteen. Twenty. His mind spun in frantic circles, replaying every worst-case scenario. Bianca with her regretful eyes, her excuses about cold feet. Steve’s distant mood all morning. What if he was downstairs right now, falling back into her arms? Bret’s chest tightened, the happiness from last night souring into something bitter and sharp. He loved Steve. God, he loved him so much it hurt. But love didn’t mean possession, and if Steve chose her ... Bret stopped pacing, sinking onto the couch with his head in his hands. No. Steve wouldn’t. Not after everything. Not after the way they’d tangled together, bodies and hearts.
The door finally clicked open at the thirty-minute mark. Bret shot to his feet, heart slamming against his ribs. Steve stepped inside, alone, his face pale and drawn. He closed the door softly behind him, leaning against it for a second like he needed the support. Bret searched his expression, desperate for a sign. Relief? Regret? Anything.
“What happened?” Bret asked, voice steady but edged with tension. “Did you tell her to go?”
Steve pushed off the door, running a hand through his hair. He looked exhausted, like the conversation had drained him dry. “We talked. A lot.”
Bret’s stomach dropped. “And?”
Steve met his eyes, and there was something there—guilt, maybe, or sorrow—that made Bret’s blood run cold. “She regrets it. The breakup. Says she got cold feet because I was planning our whole life, and she wasn’t ready to settle down so soon. But now ... she realizes she does want that. With me.”
Bret felt the words like a punch to the gut. He staggered back a step, the room tilting. “And you ... what? Believed her? After she left you shattered? After everything?”
Steve swallowed hard, looking away. “Bret ... I think I’m going to give it another shot. With her.”
The world stopped. Bret’s ears rang, his vision narrowing to Steve’s face. Hurt crashed over him first, raw and blinding, like a wave pulling him under. Then anger surged, hot and furious, burning away the numbness. “You’re what? Getting back with her? After she packed a bag and walked out because she felt ‘empty’? After you cried on my shoulder for weeks? After last night?”
Steve winced, stepping forward with his hands raised like he was approaching a wild animal. “Last night was ... it was amazing. But it was a mistake. We were both emotional, caught up in the moment. I’m not gay, Bret. And neither are you. We were just ... comforting each other.”
Bret laughed, but it came out bitter, broken. “A mistake? That’s what you’re calling it? You guided my hand to your dick, Steve. You kissed me like you meant it. We came together, tangled up in each other. And now it’s a mistake because she’s back? Because it’s easier to pretend it didn’t happen?”
Steve’s face flushed, his jaw tightening. “I don’t know what I was thinking. The breakup messed me up. You were there, and it felt good, but that’s not who I am. Bianca and I have history. Ten years. We can fix this.”
Bret’s hands shook at his sides, fists clenching. The anger boiled over, spilling out in a torrent he couldn’t stop. “Fix this? You mean fix you? Because that’s what I’ve been doing for weeks! I dropped everything for you, Steve. My life, my time, my heart. I held you when you cried, I slept next to you every night so you wouldn’t feel alone, I massaged your damn shoulders when you were tense. And last night? That wasn’t some drunken hookup. That was us. Real. And now you’re ditching me because she snapped her fingers? Because it’s safer to go back to the girl who broke you than admit you might feel something for me?”
Steve’s eyes widened, stunned. He took a step back, like Bret’s words had physically pushed him. “Ditching you? Bret, that’s not— I’m not ditching you. You’re my best friend. This doesn’t change that.”
