""Turns out, Steve's brother...Tony, also went to the same college as I did, and in a similar department," X writes. "Steve then jokingly asked if I've ever met Tony or hooked up with him, to which I said honestly, \"probably not, since it's a big school\" and brushed it off since his name and description didn't ring a bell.""
""They have a healthy...relationship," he explains, "which was very sweet and great to hear about a family with more than one gay/queer person.""
X and Steve begin a nine-month relationship characterized by shared interests, emotional openness, and family conversations. X learns that Steve has a gay brother, Tony, and hears that Steve and Tony have a healthy relationship. Steve jokes about whether X ever met or hooked up with Tony. At a family dinner, X recognizes Tony as someone he had hooked up with in college, which makes the meal awkward. X and Steve break up after nine months, and X now struggles with whether to disclose the past hookup to Steve.
