OWEN
February
Owen was hard-pruning the clematis that swarmed up the back wall of
his garden when his doorbell rang. He knew immediately it was Lewis, his
younger brother—no one else rang his doorbell so obnoxiously.
Owen’s doorbell was a cheery little two-note bell. A proper little dingdong of a bell. But Lewis had a way of leaning on it that made the dings run into the dongs and start to stutter, until it seemed like the whole contraption
was having a nervous breakdown.

Which was… very Lewis. He had that effect on a lot of people too.
Owen unhurriedly closed his secateurs, crossed the garden, and went
inside the house to answer the door. Sure enough, on the other side stood
Lewis, and with him was Aaron, his boyfriend of the last few months.
“Could you not break my doorbell?” Owen asked mildly, stepping aside
and waving them in.
“You were taking ages,” Lewis said unapologetically, as he moved past
him.
“I was in the garden.”
“You’re always in the garden.”
Aaron flashed his cute smile at Owen as he stepped into the house and
held up a be-ribboned cardboard box. “I brought cake.”
Owen grinned. “See, this is why I like you more than Lewis.”
“I heard that,” Lewis called from halfway down the hallway, but he
sounded a little bit pleased. The soppy sod.
Owen followed them down the hallway to the back of the house. When
he’d bought the place, he’d knocked through a couple of walls to make one
big kitchen and living area, adding some wide glass doors at the back that
let in tons of natural light and gave him a nice view of his pride and joy: the
garden.
“So, to what do I owe this pleasure?” he asked. “I wasn’t expecting you
today.”
“Oh, just popping by on the off-chance you’d be in,” Lewis said airily,
which made Owen immediately suspicious, particularly given that Owen
could now see that the cake box Aaron was holding looked very fancy
indeed, with gold lettering and gold and blue ribbons.
“Any chance of a cuppa?” Lewis asked.
“Sure. Tea or coffee?”
“Hot chocolate?” Lewis said hopefully.
“Hot chocolate and cake?” Owen said, raising his brows. “You want to
go into a sugar coma?”
“Can’t think of a better way to die.”
“Yeah, well, I don’t have any hot chocolate, so pick a grown-up
beverage.”
Lewis made a face. “Tea then. Two sugars.”
Owen rolled his eyes and turned to Aaron. “Coffee for you?”
Aaron nodded happily and held out the cake box. “I got a few different
ones.”
He certainly had, Owen saw when he opened it up in the kitchen. Six
ridiculously pretty slices of French patisserie, each one constructed of an
impressive number of layers and decorated with fancy chocolate and fruit.
Owen grinned to himself, knowing that Lewis would prefer a cheap jam
doughnut.
