Ben looked at Fitz's shocked face. "You mean... you didn't know?"

Fitz took a sip of his coffee and leaned on the counter, looking out the window. "We didn't really talk about guys we'd been with before."

"It was something I intuited, you know?"

"I just never thought... I mean Charlie doesn't seem like his type."

"What's wrong with Charlie?" Ben asked defensively.

"Oh nothing. Nothing. Nice guy." Fitz said. "Maybe a little uppity sometimes... " he added, taking a long sip of coffee after to prevent himself from saying anything else.

"You should've seen Hunter when Charlie was in his coma. I don't think he left the hospital once. He told the supervising doctor that he was Charlie's partner so that he could take care of things while his family was on the way here."

"That's... wow." Fitz said. Tyler's door opened and a scruffy, fratty guy in his boxers came out. He wiped the sleep from his eyes and looked at Fitz and Ben, startled.

"Oh. Hey," he said.

"Hey," they said.

"Is there coffee?" he asked. Ben poured him a mug.

"I'm Ben, I'm dating Charlie," he said handing the guy the mug.

"I'm Brad. I'm... um... friends with Tyler."

"Hey," Fitz said, offering his hand. "I'm Fitz. Caleb. Fitzgerald. Everyone calls me Fitz. I'm dating Hunter."

"Oh. Um hey." Brad said, shaking his hand.

They stood in the kitchen in their boxers, sipping coffee, staring at each other awkwardly.

"Wait," Brad said suddenly. "If you're dating Charlie and you're dating Hunter... why were they kissing on New Year's?"

Ben and Fitz both spit out their coffee. "Wait! WHAT?!"
