Jez was only planning to get in and out of the comic book store to get his friend the comic book he lost. The last thing Jez expected was to find a handsome young man behind the counter. Especially one that flustered him by only sending a smile his way. He knows nothing about comic books or the 'geek' way, but he can't let the opportunity pass him by. He pretends to be into the scene to get Rhys' affections and later quizzes his friend about everything 'geek'.With what little he could get his friend to share, he heads to the store once again in the hopes of landing himself a date with Rhys.What follows is a sweet, funny story about two men discovering that appearances are not always what they seem but that once a connection has been established everything else can be worked out.I loved this story. Not only because of the humor JL Merrow infused into the story but also because the characters felt so real. I loved Jez. Yes, he lied and pretended to be someone he wasn't but underneath it all he was a sweet, caring man who only wanted to connect to someone. Likewise, Rhys was adorable too. He was charming and treated Jez well, which Jez had lacked in his previous relationship.I loved watching how flustered Jez became every time he was in Rhys' presence and how he went out of his way to impress him. But it was also nice to see him let go of some of his inhibitions too.I think Jez and Rhys complemented each other. Not only did their share great chemistry, they also related to each other well. I enjoyed their camaraderie and playful banter and would love to see more of them in the future. *hint, hint*All in all, a wonderful short story that left me with a smile on my face and wanting more.
