Darcy has never felt sexual attraction or a desire to engage with anyone. Michael has been in denial of finding men attractive. When Michael sees Darcy for the first time, he is convinced she is the girl of his dreams...until a year later he meets Darcy again and finds out he is a man. There is something about Darcy that speaks to him. His reluctance to get "involved" with Darcy and Darcy's lack of sexual interest encourage them to get to know each other. There is more of a friendly vibe between them. Well, all except for the nightly kiss that Michael gives him. They soon realize that they have been dating without really realizing it, and they both find they have feelings for the other that they didn't think would be there.

This was a short story, but it was really sweet. It really focused on the relationship building between Michael and Darcy without any sex to muddy the waters. I enjoyed watching Darcy try to figure out if he is demisexual rather than asexual, and I enjoyed watching Michael let his guard down and just appreciate and enjoy his time with Darcy. It was very well written.
