Summary
The door creaked open, and there stood Yuri, blinking blearily at him in that familiar worn shirt with the faint streaks of stubborn dried clay on the sleeves. His hair was slightly flattened on one side, his eyes puffy from sleep as he squinted under the dim hallway light.
“Charley?” Yuri rasped, voice low and rough with sleep.
Charley gave a little sheepish wave, curls a mess, cheeks pink from the cold. “Hi, babe… mind letting me in?”

Summary
When Charley finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere, with his car stuck in a ditch and the opening act of a blizzard raging around him, he's forced to rely on the kindness and hospitality of a stranger to survive the night. Unfortunately, that stranger also happens to embody everything Charley's ever wanted in a man. You would think romance would be the last thing on his mind after narrowly avoiding the grim fate of freezing to death, and it should be. But the more he talks to his unexpected savior, the more he can feel himself falling down that familiar, slippery pink slope.
Too bad there's no way Yuri could possibly be feeling the same. Because, if anything, this night has proved that Charley's not that lucky...right?

Summary

Summary
Charley wasn’t even sure how they ended up having this conversation, much less how it had devolved into the debate that it was now. He was just glad Yuri wasn’t here to listen to any of this nonsense, although him not being here is probably a large part of how they began talking about him in the first place.
“I’m just saying,” Rhonda said for probably the third time in the last hour. He was starting to feel like they were going in circles about this. “I haven’t talked to the guy much, but he wasn’t exactly giving me ‘hetero’ vibes when I did,” she said, using air quotes around the word hetero.
