more of the you that you already are

Even a fic where the main characters are both gay men, who've previously dated, and the summary highlights that there's still some sexual/romantic tension there.

Matt comes over to Bret's house and confesses he has feelings for him (as opposed to getting murdered). Bret doesn't exactly reciprocate but he's very smitten (5.1k)

Bret goes to see Matt after spending the afternoon with Terry. Without knowing what's going on, Matt does his best to comfort him (5.2k)

After learning what Robert did to Bret, Matt beats the crap out of him at school the next day. Bret brings a slightly worse-for-wear Matt home to meet his mom (5k)

Four decades later, Matt runs into Bret at a party. Matt's changed. Or maybe Bret never really knew him to begin with (3k)

I also wrote an unrelated fic in which Bret takes Matt to Palm Springs with him, Thom, and Susan during spring break of junior year, then things get meta and fucked up (6.6k)

EDIT: A second unrelated fic has hit the AO3. It's the summer of 1980, and the cute stoner in Bret's class is down bad for him (5.1k)
