Another Kind of Shakespearean Romance

Another Kind of Shakespearean Romance

J.A.M.

“Take your shirt off,” Theo says. “For medical reasons.” 😇 Because nothing screams self-control like stitching up the guy who used to flirt with your crush.

Theo is trying to be normal. He’s trying to go to class, drink coffee, and pretend the café humiliation didn’t happen. Then at 2 a.m. his buzzer goes off, and Hamlet is on the other side with a bloody eyebrow and a stubborn little “I’m not going to the hospital.” So Theo drags him inside anyway, plays reluctant nurse, and tells himself he’s doing the right thing. Except Hamlet cleans his apartment like he lives there, cooks like he’s auditioning for Husband, and wanders out wearing Theo’s briefs like that’s a reasonable Tuesday. Theo should kick him out. He does not kick him out. You, however, will be screaming into your pillow. Theo’s fingers spread ointment over bruises he wasn’t supposed to see, Hamlet makes a sound he definitely wasn’t supposed to make, and then the phone rings… and Theo answers. “Is this the boy working the streets?” a man slurs.

To get my degree and begin my life.

Thanks to an unbecoming video
