‘I should have known that meeting them would lead to something like this,’ Daniel thinks.

He was sitting across from his ex-boyfriend, Jerry, and they had decided to catch up that evening. Their relationship ended on good terms, it was a mutual decision to break up and Daniel didn’t regret it.

The evening started off well enough, with good food at a new restaurant they found and funny stories that happened to the both of them over the past few years. It continued that way until the wine made them both a bit tipsy.

Suddenly Daniel was flirting and Jerry was flirting back. It was fun in a way that felt forbidden. Like, ‘how can we be doing this? We broke up years ago.’

Daniel wasn’t in a relationship at the moment, he wasn’t even looking for a new partner. His last girlfriend caused too many problems, and he had to clean up her mess before he started something new. But does a reignited relationship count?

Jerry was as handsome as always. He was funny and smart. He may be a bit arrogant and stubborn at times but it was part of his charm(or that was the alcohol talking). Jerry had been kind to Daniel in their past relationship. It was a sweet romance. After all this time, Daniel couldn’t even remember why they had broken up.

After dinner the two decided to go for a walk, all the while they continued their playful flirtations. Daniel wasn’t sure if it was real or just for fun. Perhaps he should leave it at that and not think further.

But perhaps the alcohol got to his head. And maybe it got to Jerry’s too.

Because the second they were getting ready to part, they looked each other in the eye and didn’t want to leave each other’s side. They were soon booking a room at the nearest hotel and the night grew steamier than ever.

After their shared desires were(mostly) extinguished, Daniel felt a sort of shame. He didn’t really regret it, he only felt this outcome was to be expected.

As single men who are both extremely compatible, in bed and out, it was only natural they felt drawn to each other again. But Daniel could only say, “I should have known that meeting you would lead to something like this.”

To which Jerry laughed and snuggled into his side. Daniel also smiled and the two fell asleep together.

As for what would happen in the morning, Daniel will have to figure that out when he wakes up.
