Slowly he began to relax when Izzy said that Adam wasn't afraid of him. If anyone else had said it, he might not have believed it, but Izzy wouldn't lie about that. She knew how much he struggled with social interactions, never pulling punches when he messed up or if he made mistakes. Despite his worries, he began to smile when she mentioned doing Adam's nails. "What color would you suggest for him?"

Glancing up at Izzy, he tried not to look too hopeful when she said that Adam wasn't angry at him. "I want more things that make me happy, I just don't know what those are." There were the hobbies that he hid from most people, but they were short term things, not the type of happiness that Izzy had discussed with him in the past. "I know he's not straight." Straight guys didn't stare at him the way Adam had. "But that doesn't mean anything. Looking at me and liking me aren't the same thing."
