Call Me Gideon

Gideon Eric Bishop lost everything when he came out-his family, his fortune and his best friend. Over the years, he's shoved himself back into the closet. Going by his middle name, he's successfully remained celibate, kept to himself, and life has taken on some semblance of normalcy. Then he gets a phone call from his mother, begging him to come home as his father is gravely ill, but Gideon cannot figure out why his presence would matter. Still, like a dutiful son, he returns to the fold and walks head first into Kellan O'Brien. For as long as Dr. Kellan O'Brien has known what love was, he's been in it with Gideon. Kellan felt things for the then eighteen-year-old he was pretty sure would send him to hell. But Kellan was too old, and Gideon wasn't gay. When Gideon vanished one night, Kellan's heart broke, and he tried to move on as best he could. But then Kellan's fiancé dies in a horrible accident, and Gideon returns to Byers Pass, and it all seems to be coming full circle. But Gideon has put himself so far and so deep back into the closet, Kellan is positive not even love can reach him.
