I bring Michael to a table with my other friends. “Hey guys.”

They all turn to me.

“Hey, Ev. Who ya got there?” Connor nods his head towards Michael.

“Guys this Michael. Michael I'd like you to meet Jared, Alana, and Connor, he’s my boyfriend.” I point to each of them as I say their name.

“It's nice to meet you all.”Michael says sitting down.

I walk around the table and sit beside Connor.

Alana chats up Michael.

Another boy walks up to our table. “Michael? What are you doing here?”

Michael turns around and gets up at the sight of the boy. “Jeremy! Oh, honey, I'm so sorry! I meant to text you, I promise!”

“It's okay.” The new boy, Jeremy, says.

“This is, Alana, Jared, Connor, and Evan, my new brother.”

“Okay.” Jeremy sits beside Michael.

We all talk and get along nicely.

Michael, Jeremy, and I walk home together. I tried to convince Connor, but he's as hard as a rock.

We walk in and Willow smiles at us. “Just you three?”

Michael nods.

“I tried to convince Connor, but he… I don't know what he wanted, but I couldn't convince him to come.”

“That's a shame, I would have loved to meet him.”

Michael and Jeremy walk to Michael room, leaving me behind with Willow. I didn't mind, she's a delight to talk to.

I set down my bag by the door. “Maybe it's the fact that my last foster parents weren't so accepting of him.”

“What do you mean?” She sits on the couch.

“One of them, I'm pretty sure, was homophobic.”

“That's a shame.”

It’s quiet for a second. “If I may ask. Where is Michael's dad?”

“He left me before he was born, before I even knew I was pregnant with him.”

“I'm so sorry.”

She turns to me with a smile. “It's fine. I'm happy.”

“Yeah. I guess that's all that really matters.”

“I actually is. Anyway, I do hope you bring Connor over sometime.”

“I will. I just have to wear him down.”

“Come on, Connor! Please?”

“I said no, Evan. I'm busy tonight.” Connor shrugs me off for the fifth time.

“Busy with what?”

“Stuff.”

“You don't even have hobbies.”

“Fine. You fucking cinnamon stick.” Red tints at his face.

“Yay!” I give a little spin.

We walk home with the other pair.

“So,” Michael leans in towards Connor. “Evan finally convinced you, huh?”

“I'll rip your face off if you come any closer.” Connor says, stoned faced.

Michael leans away, looking a little scared. “Sorry.”

We walk the rest of the way in silence.

I burst through the door. “Willow! Connor’s here!”

She turns from the sink. “Finally!”

I look up at Connor.

He looks a little confused.

Michael pats Connor’s back. “Good luck bro.”

“Yeah. You'll need it.” Jeremy nods in agreement.

The two disappear into the abyss the call Michael's room.

Willow walks over to Connor. “Nice to meet ya! Evan's told me a bit about you! So why don’t you sit down and tell me more!”

I giggle as Willow pulls Connor too the couch. I let the two talk while I finish washing the dishes.
