      Plenty of Fish

      Josh Lanyon

      Chapter One

      I think I’ve met someone, Blair said.

      He was sitting on the wooden tool chest in Finn’s workshop, drinking a can of hydrogen water, watching Finn sand the top of a rosewood William IV dining table.

      Yeah? Finn continued to rub at a pale watermark with a piece of very fine oiled steel wool. He didn’t have to look up to know Blair’s eyes would be shining and soft and a little dreamy. Blair was in love with the idea of being in love.

      Finn was also in love. With Blair.

      Which maybe Blair knew and maybe he didn’t. There had been that one time last year, when Finn had kissed Blair and whispered, I love you, Blair. Why don’t we give it a try?

      Blair had laughed, then looked confused and finally embarrassed when he saw Finn was serious. Finn had—not quite in the nick of time—managed to laugh too and pretend it was a joke. Blair’s eyes had lit with relief, though his quick smile had been a little uncertain.

      Things had been strained between them for a couple of weeks but eventually had gone back to normal.

      In fairness, Finn’s timing had been crap. As usual. Blair had just found out Logan was cheating on him, so even if he had been receptive to the idea of Finn eventually stepping into Logan’s shoes, it was not the time to bring it up. It was just that by then Finn had sort of reached his breaking point.

      It hadn’t helped when he’d suddenly remembered how in junior high, Blair had kissed him behind the handball courts at Ernie Howlett Park, and he’d wiped his mouth and told Blair sternly to knock it off.

      Jesus.

      It had only taken him twelve years to figure out being kissed by Blair was actually something he’d really, really like. That it was, in fact, near the top of the Ten Things He’d Like Most to Happen in the Near Future list. Right below Sleep with Blair and right above Discover a Goddard and Townsend family cabinet—or other piece of valuable anything—the next time he was dumb enough to bid on an abandoned storage unit.

      Anyway.

      Plenty of Fish? Finn asked. He didn’t bother to hide his skepticism. Dating sites were for the desperate, in his opinion. Not including Blair, of course.

      Blair said defensively, People do meet people there.

      Sure.

      Carlos and I had fun.

      Finn sanded harder. The watermark had nearly penetrated all the way through the polish. Yep, he muttered. Nothing more fun than a broken wrist.

      Carlos had been into mountain biking, which Finn had tried to tell Blair was different from regular biking. As usual, Blair had to find out the hard way.

      Blair shrugged. Louis was nice.

      He sure was. I can’t think of anybody nicer than Louis.

      Louis had been into rock climbing, and Blair had discovered belatedly that he had a little problem with extreme heights. Their first and only date had been spent with Louis coaxing and cajoling Blair off the cliffside where he’d been frozen, paralyzed with acrophobia, for hours. Hours.

      Louis had been a very nice guy, and Finn was grateful to him for not leaving Blair up there on Touch and Go Face in Joshua Tree National Park.

      Blair said wistfully, I liked Alec a lot.

      To which Finn had no reply. He stopped scrubbing the stained wood. Alec had been way too close for comfort. Blair had been on the verge of falling in love with Alec, and Alec had been on the verge of falling in love with Blair. The thing that saved them—or rather, saved Finn—was when Alec had been transferred to his company’s home office in Indiana. Blair’s mom had been going through chemo, so there was no way Blair would have considered leaving Palos Verdes.
