“Oh, so, Elijah, what ended up happening with Victor?” Alex asks. Elijah blushes and Pax frowns. “Who’s Victor?” my brother asks, looking curiously between Alex and his boyfriend. “Shit. Sorry,” Alex mutters, offering an apologetic smile. “It’s no big deal,” Elijah says. “He’s the TA for my Space Propulsion class. I felt like he graded my last exam unfairly, so I showed it to Alex to get his opinion, and he agrees. But, when I brought it up to Victor, he blew me off. I still passed, so it’s fine; it doesn’t really matter.”
