It should not have bothered Kevin as much as it did. They were having a wonderful evening together. U-Kiss was so busy lately that they rarely had a moment to themselves. Kevin had been looking forward to this day all week.  Knowing that Eli was more of a beer and basketball type of person,  he really appreciated the effort Eli put into tonight just to make Kevin happy. They drove out to the mountains, leaving late in the day so that it was dark when they arrived. There was hardly a soul in sight. After all, who would want to climb a mountain in the dark? Which was entirely the point. Here they could breathe, hold hands, do all the couple things they wanted without fear of being seen. Eli had even prepared a romantic, candle light picnic, everything hand made by himself. Now they were sitting together, Eli’s arms wrapped around him as they watched the stars. He had just finished telling Eli his sister was pregnant, he was going to be an uncle, when Eli said it. It was barely a murmur, almost a sigh, a whisper of envy.

Your life is so perfect.

It should not have bothered Kevin as much as it did.
