I’m loving these stories. Matt and Alex are just adorable. Despite what Matt may think.

Alex has always been enamored of Matt, but for Alex at first, he was a bit young. Now it seems like he just had a case of hero worship. Especially since Alex saved Matt’s life at his best friend’s wedding. When Matt comes to speak to Alex, Alex wishes he could just kiss the man stupid but all Matt wanted to do was thank Alex for saving him. When Matt strongly suggests in moving in with Alex to take Carrie’s place, more or less, since she moved out, Alex is unsure but let’s Matt move in anyway. The move is seamless. They work well together with no problems. Except on Alex’s days off. Matt makes himself scarce until Alex cons him into running with him. More and more they fall into a relationship, Alex kind of oblivious. Now if Matt can make it more of one, it will be better.

I understand how Alex feels to a point. He doesn’t want to be someone’s hero and then when the novelty wears off, end up being dumped and alone. And that’s how he felt with Matt. But Matt more than proves him wrong. Alex had to overcome a few things and learn that Matt was in it for the Long haul and it turned into a very beautiful thing. I also love Alex’s best friend Carrie. She’s a hoot. I almost wish there was more to this story. Like an afterword or something. See how they are later. It was really good
