    Summary

    Joe shrugs. “I dunno, there just isn’t anyone I’d want to build my life around like that.”

    “Well, sure,” Web says, rolling his eyes, “because you seem to find the most vapid guys imaginable. Maybe if you tried finding guys who weren’t like that-”

    “I mean, you’re one to talk!” Joe exclaims. “Brian knew all about literature but he didn’t know shit about you. What’s the point of dating someone with the same interests as you if they’re not actually interested in you?” Joe throws his hands out, emphatic. This is always the thing about Web’s boyfriends. It’s like they tick all these boxes, and Web ticks all these boxes for them, but they don’t really see him.

    It seems to sink in for Web. After a minute he says, “Well, he was actually pretty good in bed.”

    “Sure he was.” Joe’s skeptical. A guy can surprise you, maybe, but guys like Brian rarely do. Joe’s pretty sure no guy in a sweater vest has ever really rocked his world. “I know you get laid. I mean, I know you getting laid doesn’t actually make you any less insufferable.”
