Epilogue
Jeff put the last box in their new apartment. He flopped down on the couch with a sigh. It had been a long day. It was the middle of July, and it was hot as hell. Nick came out of their room, and sat down next to him.
"What ya thinkin' Jeffy?" Nick asked.
"Just thinking about everything." Jeff said, with a shtrug. Nick got up, and went the window, he opened it, and stuck his head out. Jeff smiled, and got up. He wrapped his arms around Nick's waist, and kissed the back of his neck.
"You this is like when we first met. You had your head stuck out the window then too." He whispered in Nick's ear.
"You've changed since then." Nick said.
"All because you didn't give up on me." Jeff said, smiling down at his boyfriend.
"There were times when I wanted to." Nick admitted. "When you kept pulling away from me, it was hard to keep trying, but something just kept telling me I had to do it."
"Well, I'm glad you did." Jeff said, kissing the top of Nick's head. "I was never myself until I met you. You tore all my walls down. You showed me someone I hadn't seen in a long time."
"Who's that?" Nick asked.
"The real me." Jeff said.
