    Summary

    Two key truths had remained constant for Jay McCarrol since his childhood: one, Matt was always there; and two, Jay had no real sense of direction in his life.

    On the rare occasions in which he had allowed himself to reflect on it, Jay had always ended up reaching the same conclusion: a change in number one must be the key to changing number two.

    After experiencing a timeline without Matt at his side and making the decision to go back to set things right, though, Jay realizes how much he values the life that they have together, and it finally occurs to him that maybe the purpose that he’s been searching for his whole life has been right there in front of him the entire time.

     

    Or, Jay decides to propose to Matt.

    Summary

    There is something wrong with them. There must be. Because it's been a week since Jay came back from 2008, since they'd kissed, and they haven't been able to stop. They've barely come up for air. Jay had managed to get dressed on the first morning but it didn't last long. Matt was strong and impatient. Jay gave up on shirts with buttons by the afternoon. Gave up on wearing anything other than sweats or briefs by the second day.

    Matt wants him all the time. And Jay wants what Matt wants. He really, really, really does.

    Summary

    It had started long ago. Started with fear and resentment and the strangest feelings he kept locked away. Started with the realization that he was a threat to his standing. Started by realizing what his play was. Started with the most embarrassing slip of the tongue just taking him in. And then it snowballed.
    And, well, it didn't take much to snowball.
