"I have a new boyfriend." He wasn't really sure that was accurate. He and Nathaniel were definitely close. Nathaniel had asked John to stay with him, after his most recent dream,and John had agreed. They kissed, but hadn't done much more than that.
John wanted to call Nathaniel his boyfriend. Maybe he should talk to Nathaniel about it before he started telling other people, but well. It felt right.
"I'm staying with him, now. Partly so I'm not alone when I have another dream." When he had another dream, not if. His story could be finished, certainly, if he died. But he didn't think that it was finished.
