A New Safe Space

Two years after Akk and Aye's breakup, things have started to settle. Aye is happy with his new boyfriend, Yok, and while their friendship is slowly mending, Akk can't quite let go. It breaks his heart to see the love of his life moving on, but if anyone deserves it, his shortstop does.

One evening out with friends, Akk watches Aye and Yok dancing intimately, his lingering pain clear in his eyes. That's when a pretty boy saunters up and whispers, "I know the feeling. Wanna get out of here?"

Before he knows it, Akk replies, "Yeah, why not?" as a grinning Ray drags him away victoriously, saying simply, "Good choice."
