It’s too hot this time of year to be doing shows.

I’m sitting here wishing for something that’s missingI’m waiting for you to tell meThat time keeps on passingI’m hoping, I’m askingTo stay by your sideAt least for tonight

Alex and Rian turn thirty, get flirty, and are definitely thriving (if thriving means fucking).

He didn’t expect it and God knows he didn’t want it.

He never thought he’d be the one admiring a boy he’d never reach.

Or the one where Rian is hopelessly in love with Alex, who is of course, married to Lisa.

No matter how hard you try you’ll always stare at someone who looks “different.”  

The conditions of this agreement were twofold; no romantic feelings and it ends as soon as either couple gets engaged. Rian knew this, he knew their forays would come to an end eventually. So, why did he suddenly feel so shitty the moment Alex pulled out a ring?

Where Alex is on house arrest to cover for Jack and Rian decides he wants to take Alex on a date.

Where Rian meets Alex while waiting to ask the principal if he could miss fifth period to set up for theatre and somehow gets invited to a party by Jack.

"Babe, do I look fat in this?" “Lex, you're carrying a small human inside of your body -- I would be surprised if you didn't look fat.”

Alex finds himself in the midst of Cassadee and Rian’s life but he can’t say he isn’t happier than he’s ever been.

Rian doesn’t know how to smoke weed, so Alex has to teach him. And Rian’s a bit of a hands-on learner.

“C’mon now, you’re an intelligent boy, Alexander. You know what I am.”

Alex keeps saying he's fine but Rian wants to make sure.

In which Alex gets his period at a very inconvenient time, and Rian is supportive no matter what.

Alex is sick but luckily Rian's there to take care of him.
