My first post to the com, ironically.
Challenge #82: first
Title: Be Careful What You Offer
It took a while, but Brian could eventually admit, to himself anyway, that it was his own fault. He had offered the boy a choice that first night, and the twat had been too naive to understand or, more likely, too stubborn to accept that it had been rhetorical.
So are you coming or going?
Or coming and then going?
Or coming and then staying?
How could he know that the kid would be the first trick ever to choose option C?
It took even longer for Brian to admit how grateful, how fucking grateful, he was that Justin had.
