More a 1.5

Another typical sex scene or two under the guise of a Christmas short story.

Theo really hates the Christmas season as so many things have gone wrong during his life at that time of year. His father died on Chrismas Eve night, his mother abandoned him two years later, he was placed in a horrible foster home on Christmas day and his last relationship ended on Christmas day two years prior. The one person that Theo can count on is his best friend Christian. The only problem is that Theo has fallen in love with Christian, and is convinced he can't say anything from fear of ruining their relationship. When Christian calls and asks to come over, of course Theo says yes. When Christian blurts out that he is in love with Theo, things get quite interesting indeed.

This is a fun little story that plays with the ever popular theme, best friends that fall in love. Poor Theo has been dealt a horrible set of cards and everyone in his life has left him starting with his father and ending with his homophobic adoptive parents and most recent lover. You can't help but feel bad for Theo and want him to be able to have something good in his life, namely Christian. Once the men realize that their feelings are the same, the story takes a decidedly sexy and steamy turn. Theo and Christian are so close, they know each other so well, they can get angry with each other and still be there for one another. Christian is determined to be the one person that doesn't leave Theo, and it makes for a cute story about love and friendship. I think the story could have benefited from more details around the sex scenes but overall the story is an enjoyable story with interesting characters.

In the first four sentences, the word "home" is used three times. There is entirely too much "walk us through it" going on; "He kicked the door shut, took off his shoes, placed his keys in a bowl by the table, poured himself a drink, looked around his living room, hung up his coat, fed his cat, looked out his window", etc. You know what I'm talking about. I don't need to know a character's every movement, especially when your story is less than 30 pages in length. Theo's sob story is ridiculous (not that parents don't abandon their children, but what mother would actually write a note to her ten-year-old stating he's old enough to take care of himself?). His adoptive parents disowned him, but somehow he was still in contact with them? Sorry, that's not how that works. Christian's entry and declaration gave me whiplash,

Oh yeah, and Christian was a "brotha from the hood ? Really?
