Evening came soft and slow, the kind of dusk that turned the apartment windows gold before sliding into navy. Steve stood in the hallway outside his bedroom door, one hand on the knob, the other hanging useless at his side. He hadn’t crossed the threshold since the night everything ended. The air leaking under the door smelled faintly of vanilla candles and her perfume – a scent that used to feel like home and now felt like a bruise.
Bret watched from the couch, pretending to scroll his phone. He saw the way Steve’s shoulders hunched, the way his thumb rubbed slow circles over the metal knob like he was trying to talk himself into turning it.
Steve finally spoke, voice low. “It still smells like her in there.”
Bret set his phone down. “Yeah. I figured.”
Steve exhaled through his nose, sharp and tired. “I can’t. Not tonight.”
Bret stood without hurry. He walked over, close enough that Steve could feel the warmth coming off him, but not so close he crowded. “Then don’t. My bed’s still open. Just for tonight.”
Steve looked at him then – really looked. Eyes tired but clear, no alcohol haze this time. “You sure?”
“I’m sure,” Bret said. Simple. Steady. “Come on.”
They moved through the familiar routine like they’d rehearsed it. Lights off in the living room. Toothbrushes side by side in the bathroom sink. Steve stripped down to loose gray shorts that hung low on his hips, the waistband soft and worn. Bret kept his boxers and an old band tee that had gone threadbare at the seams. No words needed. Just the quiet sounds of fabric shifting, mattress dipping, blanket rustling.
Steve slid under the covers first. Bret followed, leaving the same careful inch of space he’d tried to maintain the first night. It lasted maybe thirty seconds.
Steve rolled toward him. Not tentative. Just natural, like gravity had decided they belonged pressed together. His chest found Bret’s back, arm sliding around Bret’s waist, palm flat against Bret’s stomach under the hem of the tee. Bret felt every inch of contact like it was drawn in slow motion: the heat of Steve’s bare thighs against the backs of his own, the soft brush of chest hair against his shoulder blades, the steady thump of Steve’s heartbeat against his spine.
