Riskily Yearning (A Rhett & Link AU)

This is a story about Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, two YouTubers who created the comedy, talk, and variety series Good Mythical Morning. Because of lockdowns implemented to hopefully help end the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic throughout the United States and the world, Link, who's a closeted bisexual, makes an account on Grindr in secret. Due to its notoriety from security issues, he constantly reminds himself that he would always keep things safe. When Link felt the riskiness and toxicity of hooking up with random strangers as time passes by, he meets Rhett on the app, and asks him if he would be interested in being his friend with benefits, to which the latter agrees with. But as distance became an issue for them, Link decides to look for someone else, and stumbles upon his next door neighbor. What will Link do when the neighbor invites him to a drinking session to his house alongside his nephew? Find out in this story...
