Trey followed Kyan's guidance, keeping his eyes mostly shut and letting him take his weight. They took small, slow steps and he held firmly onto Kyan's arm when the wooziness made itself known. Even just a few steps from the couch, he needed to pause for a few moments, not sure if the headspin would keep getting worse and make him sick again. Kyan stopped with him, rubbing his back while they waited. "I guess seeing how happy you and Reec are, you make it look good. I miss that. It's been ages since things ended with Brendan. Ari and I kinda talked about taking it further than a few hookups but it was obvious both working for Justin, it would get too complicated if Justin ever had another serious episode that could be legally complex. Wouldn't be fair to him. Then he started dating Justin's new uncle and he sounds really happy too. It's feeling a bit like everyone around me is happily connected and as much as I love some awesome hot sex, I miss the other shit that comes with a relationship too. I want something more than surface level. Just don't know where the hell to start to find it. I can't freaking date my boss. If it was complicated with Ari, it'd be ten times more with Ash. We'd have to declare it with HR and it could cause all sorts of conflicts of interest. Plus - the biggie - he's not interested. I'd know if he was." He gave Ky's arm a squeeze to indicate he was ready to keep moving because if he didn't, he was going to pee himself. "You guys are never losing each other. You're made for each other. This is just, like, not even the icing on the cake. You were already settled and happy. It's the cherry. It's not a bun in the oven, it's the cherry on top of a pretty awesome proverbial sundae you guys made together. You're really gonna be a dad, Ky! Holy shitballs. You made a person."
