Summary
“What in the world do you think you're doing?” Edwin asks, hands on his hips in the way Crystal says makes him look like a ‘cunty British Karen.’
This startles the man into dropping the shard of glass onto the pavement with a clink. “Fuck! Can't a guy trash his fucking ex's car ‘n peace?”
Edwin, for some reason, is startled by the man's appearance. The first thing he sees are black-lined eyes the color of honey, the golden hue almost glowing in the streetlight. Edwin’s love of mysteries, unfortunately for him, is only rivaled by his love of pretty boys. And while his plan to confront the vulgar vandal was not exactly fool-proof from the start, Edwin realizes he has severely miscalculated how the rest of this interaction would go, because the vandal is fucking gorgeous.

Edwin is a grad student who is sick of his friends trying to help him get over his crush on Charles by setting him up on dates. Thomas is hellbent on destroying his cheating ex's car right outside Edwin's window. And Edwin is having none of it...until he learns that Thomas' ex is actually Simon, his first-boyfriend-turned-bully.
Edwin needs a fake boyfriend. Thomas needs an alibi. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
The mention of Edwin makes Monty squirm. “He hates me now. I fucked everything up.” Monty sniffles, rubbing his face against the cuff of Charles’ jacket.
“What? No, mate, c’mon. This is Edwin we're talking about. Besides, what you did was proper brave. I don't, like, know the whole story or anything, but you were trying to protect your friend. And that's pretty aces in my book.”
Monty scrutinizes Charles for a moment. “You are such a Taurus."
Charles's face breaks into a blinding grin. “Edwin told me you were into, like, the stars or whatever. Can you tell my fortune, read my palm, and all that?”
Monty scoffs. “I am an astrology enthusiast. I can use the position of celestial objects to gain insight into people.” He doesn't explain that sometimes astrology is the only way he can make sense of people.
“So you don't need to look at my hand?” Charles mock-pouts.

When Edwin invites Monty out to meet his new boyfriend, Monty plans to tell Edwin who Thomas really is — and maybe win his heart in the process.
In a strange turn of events, Monty doesn't win Edwin's heart; but he certainly does catch Charles’ eye.
