Summary
“Samir, shut up. Anton, do you think he’s cute?”
“Huh?” Anton snaps out of his trance.
Issa huffs. “Do you think,” she shoves her phone in his face, “he’s cute?”
“Oh my god, I’ll tell you if you get out of my space for a second,” he squints and pushes her arm away, trying to get a good look at the picture. Good jawline, solid head of hair, nice muscles, kind eyes. He’s attractive, in a young Charlie Swan kind of way. He also looks potentially insufferable. The nail polish, the rings decorating one hand with an iced coffee in the other. Anton’s shocked that his crocheted sweater top isn’t adorned with the words ‘6’4 feminist.’

Summary
“Ok, mindwipe?”
“Mindwipe.”
“What do you want for your birthday?”
“Ok, mindwipe?”
"Yes, we've established that."
Maybe it was the courage provided by mindwipe, or yet another reminder of his almost year long dry spell but the words fell out of Anton’s mouth before he could even realize what they were, “Paul Baker.”

Summary
Anton turned to him fully now, something vulnerable flickering behind his eyes. “And what about me? Do you love me, or was it just... heat-of-the-moment?”
Paul stared back, the weight of the question anchoring him to the spot.
“It wasn’t just heat. It wasn’t a mistake. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but it did. And yeah… I do. Love you.”
Anton softened just slightly. He let the words settle in his heart, like he needed to hear them echo in his own chest before deciding what they meant.“I can’t be a secret again,” he said finally. “Not to her. Not to anyone. If we’re doing this... it has to be real.”
Paul nodded slowly. “It already is.”

Summary
Issa had been called a lot of things throughout her life. Self-centered, messy, irresponsible, and sure maybe there’s a bit of truth to those, or a lot, but one thing Issa is not is oblivious. So she damn well knows that there’s something brewing between Paul baker and Anton ever since that kiss happened.

Or Issa does some thinking, reflecting and then some decision making after the wedding night kiss. -

Summary
They’re literally married. And Anton knows hiding in the closet while Paul Baker fucks Issa is a bad idea—objectively, catastrophically bad.
But Paul Baker keeps looking at him like he’s starving. Like he’s wanted him this whole time and never figured out how to say it. After all, wanting something doesn’t always mean you know how to ask for it. -

Summary
“Hi! Welcome to—oh!” Issa blinked, momentarily thrown. “Sorry, we were expecting someone else.”
Two men stood outside the door, each holding a bouquet of flowers. One had warm brown eyes and a neatly trimmed mustache; the other, piercing blue eyes and a scruffy beard.
The man with the blue eyes smiled politely. “Hi, um... does Paul Baker live here? We were told to come to this address.”
Anton stepped forward. “Yeah, he does. Sorry, how do you know him?”
The man with the mustache spoke up. “We’re his parents.”
There was a beat of stunned silence.
Then, in perfect unison: “Paul Baker has gay dads?!”

Summary
Paul Baker steps up beside him and leans in, shoulder brushing Anton’s, peering down with mock solemnity.
“Should we bury her?” he asks. “Give her a little headstone? Here lies Lady Whistlebrew, may her spout rest in peace.”
Anton turns to stare at him — and abruptly realises how close they are. The warm press of Paul Baker’s shoulder against his. The faint trace of toothpaste and sleep still clinging to his breath. The last time they were this close, it was barely twelve hours ago. One minute they were laughing about fake marriages, and the next — they were kissing.
Kissing like it meant something.
Until Paul Baker had put a hand on Anton’s chest and placed a harsh distance between them.

Summary
“Babe, there you are!” A voice cut through the air, loud and cheerful. Before Anton could process what was happening, he felt Paul Baker’s lips on his. His body went rigid.
Anton blinked. “What—?”
Paul Baker didn’t miss a beat. He slid in close, arm casually draping around Anton’s waist like it was the most natural thing in the world. “You left me alone with Samir. You know how he gets after two tequila shots. It was life or death.”
Anton just stared at him.
His eyes flicked toward Jacob for half a second, and then back to Anton with a sly little grin. “Oh, sorry, am I interrupting?”
Jacob’s gaze sharpened. “Who’s this?”
“I’m Paul Baker. Anton’s husband.”

Summary
“Paul Baker, you choose. What do you want?” Issa asked, as her eyes lifted to meet his.
The question hung in the air, suspended like a held breath.
Paul Baker turned slowly, eyes scanning the makeshift gathering like it might offer him answers he didn’t yet have. Billie gave him a smile and a nod. Samir gave a half smile. Issa stood still, with worry etched on her face. Finally, his eyes landed on Anton.
Anton, who had known exactly what he was thinking back at the bar. There was something about that night that stuck with him, something honest beneath all the rambling. With Anton, he felt oddly safe, anchored in a way he rarely let himself feel with anyone. He'd remembered everything, even the offhand, half-drunk joke Paul Baker made through a crooked grin about wanting glow sticks at his “real wedding.”
