Drew
DREW WAS NEVER GOING to get married.
Even if . . . even if he were out and dating—nope. Drew stopped that
train of thought as abruptly as it had started and hefted his suitcase up onto
the hotel bed so he could start packing. The fact of the matter was that he
was not and probably never would be out. So the whole idea of marriage
was a moot point for him anyway.
But yeah, even still, marriage seemed to be a damned shit show. Maybe
that was why they never showed the happily ever after in romantic
comedies—because the ending wasn’t actually happy, or forever. Drew was
satisfied, living vicariously through all the swoony, one-true-love
relationships he read about in books and watched in movies and on
television. That’s what fandom and fanfic were for, right?
Then again, Drew’s parents did actually seem to have a happy marriage.
In fact, although they’d been married for almost forty years, his mom made
a habit of declaring, “I’d still say yes if he asked me again today.” It stung
every time she said it, though, as if she didn’t even realize that marriage
was something Drew would have wanted. It was so foreign a concept to her
that her gay son would marry, that it probably didn’t even occur to her that
she was hurting him with her declarations of everlasting love. She only ever
wanted him healthy and safe, after all.
But deep down, he wished things were different.
Drew consoled himself sometimes with the fact that so many marriages
ended in divorce anyway, and he let himself take that jaded, cynical outlook
on marriage and relationships. He knew this view of his was part selfpreservation, but it was also him trying to talk himself into liking his career
more, making it feel like more of a smart move and less like purgatory.
God, he hadn’t planned on being a divorce attorney. It’d just happened.
Been easier. Been more financially prudent—better for paying off his
student loans. Been “a good opportunity to build experience and a track
record” in family law.
Been his way of eventually becoming the type of lawyer who could
make the world a safer and more just place for people who were out, his
way of fighting back against his too-sheltered childhood and closeted
existence.
Dammit. He needed to stop that train of thought too. He was too tired
for this, and things always affected him more deeply when he was tired.
The firm almost always put him on the cases that required travel,
especially the ones that required him to work on the weekend. Damn
congressmen and corporate elite and their penchant for contentious
marriage dissolutions and absolute “need” to get their depositions done on
the weekend when they weren’t working, even if they were out of town.
Send Drew—he doesn’t have his kid’s baseball doubleheader to worry
about. Send Drew—he’s young and single and needs the chance to pick up
some classy outta-town broads.
