... consent posthumously, if that helps," Diego said with a smile. "Just check with me next time, though. I'm still not sure how I would feel about dating my boss..."

Zach nodded as he thought back to what he had said to Daniel at the club. "Yeah, I get it. I'd never want you to feel you had to do anything just because I sign your paychecks."

"I mean, so long as the paychecks keep coming, that's the important bit!" Diego joked. "I'm not concerned about what folks would say about either or both of us, though. It's not the ethics of it that worries me, but the fact that we have basically only just met and I've got a track record of crashing and burning in relationships."

"That's smart and sensible," Zach agreed. "I also don't have a reputation as someone who does actual relationships either. I'm well aware of what they say about me, and know how that comes off to people who might get close to me."

"Not being a Society person, I have no idea what they say about you, honestly," Diego said. "I know my friends heartily recommend a dalliance, but they're a couple of horndogs who always recommend a dalliance."

"Society says I'm fickle and unromantic, good for a dalliance but not much else," Zach explained. "I suppose they weren't wrong. Plus, I know how the gay community feels about bisexual guys, especially ones who are free with their body."

Diego seemed to consider that. "Oh yeah, that. The whole 'can't make up your mind' or 'too greedy to settle' trope?" he ...

... asked for clarification.

"Yes, that," Zach said with a nod of his head. "I'd be rich just from how many times I've heard that I'll miss pussy if I settle for dick, or vice versa."

"Well, I don't suppose you've tried long term relationships out to see for yourself?" Diego asked him.

Zach shook his head at that. "No, I haven't. Never felt drawn to. I was fine with what I was doing. I lost most of my situationships when Kali got pregnant so we were kind of exclusively sleeping together during that time, and then she died and it kind of flipped everything on its head. This is the longest I've been celibate since I became sexually active." Diego nodded sagely. "So this could just be a rebound?" he asked half-jokingly. It was clear that he was concerned about being disposable, but prepared to confront the reality if that were the case.

Zach seemed surprised by that, like it hadn't even occurred to him. "It's not. At least, I don't think it is. I've never done rebounds, and it's been over nine months now, but I also haven't been drawn to anyone like this before, and it's...confusing and scary."

Diego laughed, "Me? Confusing and scary? Makes me feel... powerful!" He flexed comically.

Zach smiled at that. "You are powerful, in a lot of ways. Your strength and compassion are part of what seems to draw me to you."

Diego looked surprised by the compliment, letting his arms fall back to his sides as he blushed slightly. Zach smirked at that, glad he wasn't the only one ...
