It had been colder than he’d thought it’d be, but the pull of the current was what had panic roaring in his ears. Wasn’t standing up in a boat the first thing you learnt not to do? Oswald didn’t know, but when he’d begun swaying and wobbling those were the words ringing in his head.

The shock of hitting the water had stolen Oswald’s breath, then fear had kicked in. Note: may contain sexually explicit scenes of a homoerotic nature. How long can Oswald stay before it’s time to move on again? Can Joshua have Oswald staying with him without the whole town talking about them? Probably not, but does he care? Oswald doesn’t want to overstay his welcome, but nothing soothes his nerves like being with Joshua in his cabin. Oswald looks like he wants to run away, and Josh finds himself suggesting things that will make him stay. Everything changes when he offers Oswald a place to stay, though. He’s not looking for a boyfriend no one even knows he’s gay, and he’d like it to stay that way.
