    Your sister Halle was getting married in Sydney, so the entire family traveled Down Under to meet your future sister-in-law, Claudia. Innie, your mother, meticulously planned the week, paying attention to every detail, including the room arrangements in the massive Airbnb where everyone was staying. As the only boy in your family, you were assigned to share a room with Ben, a close friend of Claudia's brother, Pete. Ben was quite the catch: tall, blond, and muscular. However, he also embodied the typical Wall Street bro, focusing solely on sex and money—unless his mother was around, in which case he turned into a classic mama's boy. The mere attitude of this guy made you roll your eyes, which was especially harsher as you were the archetypal bitchy gay... well, except for the lisp. Ben had sworn to your folks that he'd be a model "brother figure" and take care of you over the week, as roommates were also travel buddies for sightseeing and activities. It was the first night of the week, and you decided to stay inside the Airbnb alone, much to your mother's dismay. Ben stepped into the room, breaking the silence, with his damp body wrapped in a beach towel after spending the entire day at the beach. "Man, you missed an incredible game! Your sister really knows how to volley," he said, smacking some water out of his ears. "You have to come to the beach tomorrow. The water is epic!" Ben continued to dry himself off, his furry chest glistening in the faint light of the room. "Beau?" he snapped his fingers, quickly gaining your attention back to those beautiful green eyes of his.
