Happy New Year, everyone! I haven’t got used to typing “2019” yet, even though it’s cropping up on everything at work. I had a lovely long break from 21 December until 2 January and it’s only a mercy I went running with my friend virtually every day, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to fit into any of my clothes! It’s bad enough as it is after all the party food, Christmas cake, chocolate log, sweets, biscuits and pastries. Oh, not forgetting the litre bottle of Baileys! Now I’m on a mission to lose 25 pounds (2 down so far just from getting back to normal routine). I’m training for a half-marathon in April and then off to Russia in July to climb a mountain, so I have a good incentive to lose the pounds.
Anyway… time for the first snippet of 2019. In Favourite Toy 2, Ryan and Dean had just rescued sweet Remy from a horny hunk and an idiot friend in a club. Back at Dean, Ryan, and Casper’s house, Remy’s luck is about to change.

“Remy!” Casper bounded into the hall and flung his arms around his friend. “Oh, my God! Are you all right? That bastard, Nicky, I will rip his fucking head off! Come upstairs.” Without even acknowledging Dean, Casper grabbed Remy’s hand and led him upstairs.
Dean and I hesitated in the hallway, gazing up the stairs as Dean and Casper’s door banged shut behind the two friends. Dean scowled and sucked in his breath.
“What?” I prompted.
“What do you think about another housemate?”
“You mean Remy?”
“Yeah. He’s a nice guy, he works, he’d pay his share of the bills, so ours would all go down. I’ve heard about this shit with Nicky before. Remy’s in a shared house with five other people and they’re always pulling this crap. If it’s not Nicky, it’s one of the others instigating a fucking orgy or bringing in drugs. Remy’s not like them. I feel sorry him. Plus, we’d all get free hair-cuts.” Dean grinned suddenly.

Intriguing banter! I’m struggling with the same resolution as you. (wry grin)

Aw. There’s something really sweet about this scene. (Although I’m kind of laughing at Dean having just been shut out of his room.)
