Ethan woke up feeling groggy and decided to have a shower. He got out of bed and walked towards his bathroom with tired legs. As soon as he got there he took his pyjamas off and turned the water on. Once he decided that it was hot enough he stepped in the shower and closed the door. He didn't have his normal morning erection which he thought was a bit weird but he didn't think anything of it so just carried on showering.
Once he had finished, he turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist. Ethan walked out of his bathroom and headed for his bedroom again so he could get ready for work. He had managed to get a slightly shorter shift today which started a bit later as he wasn't feeling to well. When Ethan reached his bed he sat down and checked his phone which was sitting on his bedside table. He had a text from Max.
"Morning babe, hope you're OK. Was just wondering if you knew what coloured pants I should wear today? Haha ;) See you later xx" Ethan smiled to himself and chuckled. He knew that his lover Max had quite a wild sense of humour. Ever since Max had given up on trying getting Zoe Hanna's attention for love he decided to get someone else's attention. Ethan's. They had got together about 6 months ago and it was the happiest moment in Ethan's entire life. Ethan had only just processed the thought of being gay and had to say yes when Max asked him if he would be his boyfriend so was quite unsure, but now he knows that he made the right decision. Before Max asked the question he had realised that he was bisexual and had feelings for his colleague, so being the confident guy he is, he pulled Ethan into his 'Private' room and had a talk with him. To Max's delight Ethan had said yes to him, although it did take rather a long time to persuade him to be his lover.
Just as Ethan was about to reply to his boyfriend he heard a voice say "What's so funny Eth?" Ethan recognised that voice straight away. It was his brother Caleb. He must have come into the flat using the spare key that Cal persuaded Ethan to have made late last night. Probably drunk. Cal wasn't working today so of course he would be here, where else would he go?
"Er, nothing. Doesn't matter!" There was just one thing about Ethan and Max's relationship – Cal didn't know about it. Everyone else did, except for Zoe and Cal. Both Max and Ethan wanted to keep their relationship from 1 person. Max chose Zoe because he didn't know how she would react and Ethan chose Caleb because, well, he hates gay people.
