Sideways Position

By J.M. Snyder

For Thanksgiving, Matt wants to take Vic home to meet his parents. While Vic isn't exactly looking forward to it, Matt's more nervous than he is. He's never brought anyone home before. Though his parents know he's gay, he isn't too sure how they'll react when they finally meet the man of his dreams -- the heavily muscled, pierced and tattooed Vic Braunson.

Vic thinks it's just Matt's parents he'll meet. But when they arrive home, they find Matt's cousin Anna there with her three young children, all of whom take an instant liking to Vic. Then there's Mr. and Mrs. diLorenzo, who aren't quite sure what to make of their son's lover. And Matt's Nonna, his maternal grandmother, who tends to lapse into her native tongue without realizing it.

Imagine everyone's surprise when Vic answers her in flawless Italian.

Sideways Position

By J.M. Snyder

A week before Thanksgiving, Matt diLorenzo said the one thing his lover Vic Braunson had been dreading to hear.

I want you to meet my parents.

For all the miscellaneous lovers and hook-ups Vic had had in the past, never once had he been invited home with any of them. He’d never met any family member of anyone he’d gone out with—not even a sibling, and sure as hell not a parent. The thought of sitting across from two people whose son he slept with on a regular basis and having them judge his every move terrified him. He knew he wasn’t a catch in anyone’s book, and he dreaded anything Matt’s parents might say about him, in case they somehow changed his mind about loving him.

The year Vic and Matt had met, when they’d still been in the touch-and-go stage of a friendship that was rapidly burning into something deeper, they had spent Thanksgiving apart. Presumably, Matt had visited his own family, while Vic sat in the living room, a microwave dinner of turkey and dressing in his lap, watching sitcom reruns and trying to think of a way for them to move past the bonds of friendship into the scary territory of a real relationship. Matt had still been standoffish then, hesitant—afraid to trust Vic with a secret he thought might tear them apart.

A secret Vic lived with now on a daily basis…the powers his lover gave him during sex.

The next year, their second Thanksgiving, they’d spent the holiday together. Funny how much could change in twelve months. They went from chaste dates that had never ended in anything more than a bad case of blue balls and a lingering kiss goodnight, to Matt moving into Vic’s small apartment and saturating every aspect of Vic’s life. If Vic stopped to think of it, the quick yet seamless transition scared
