Notes:

the more i read this, the more enjoyment i got from it. this was just a nice, sweet, self-contained little story. it's not insta-love, but they get together earlier than i normally prefer (the bitch needs to yearn). still, the progression of their relationship was really, really good. loved the writing. LOVED geno to pieces!! sid, on the other hand, didn't feel quite sid-like to me, whatever the fuck that means. smut was good, could have been longer in places, but it mostly had just enough detail to keep the story moving.

Sidney was so fucking annoying. “You say this to all lovers? Oh, thank you for fuck, sorry you lips so gross, not good for kiss, ew—”

“Tell him it’s nice to see a man with a healthy appetite,” his mother said, and Zhenya sighed long-sufferingly and said, “Sid, she say you eat good, very fat.”

PrideFest is almost a year away. I guess they wanted to lock you down early. They wanted both of you, but I figured Sidney wouldn’t be interested.” “Probably not, but I ask,” Zhenya said; and he did, that same day, over lunch. “Absolutely not,” Sidney said. Zhenya said nothing. Sidney looked at him. “Oh, God,” Sidney said. “You want to.” “Maybe,” Zhenya said. “It’s fun! Big parade, happy people, maybe balloon. Wave, smile. Fun.” “No way,” Sidney said. “I mean, you can go. You can take a cardboard cutout of me, and have it on the float with you. Wiggle it around every now and then so people think it’s really me.” “You not cute,” Zhenya said, but he meant that Sidney was very cute, possibly the cutest person Zhenya had ever known.
