Try To Keep Up

One day, Joshua meets Jacob and the two unlikely duo become friends. Meanwhile, Joshua begins to get to know Raoul and introduces him to Jacob. Raoul is from out of town. At the same time, Chris arrives on the scene and befriends Joshua. He just arrived in the city.

When Raoul pays Joshua and Jacob a visit, he brings along friends, Zac and Daniel. The five boys go out for the night, with Chris tagging along. Zac mentions to Raoul that he finds Jacob interesting, but sadly nothing happens between the two. Meanwhile, Joshua introduces Chris to Daniel and the two hit it off. They're not seen again for the rest of the evening. The next day, the three out-of-towners go back home. Chris and Daniel remain friends.

Some time later, Joshua and Jacob meet Simon at a social group. He is a nice boy, similar to Joshua. Simon has a friend named Michael and is introduced to the two. Joshua and Jacob think that they be something between Simon and Michael but neither can be sure. Michael goes out and spends some time with Joshua and Jacob, but after a while, he goes back to his on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brad, and disappears. Meanwhile, Simon is introduced to Chris and he becomes part of the group, but not before Chris chastises Simon for flirting with partnered Michael.

Joshua and Jacob visit Raoul. At the same time, they catch up with Zac and Daniel. Daniel introduces his friend Sammy. Sammy is hyperactive, but he seems like a nice guy. He tells Joshua and Jacob that he'll come visit them in their city.

A week later. Sammy arrives and catches up with Jacob. Joshua is unavailable. Jacob shows Sammy around the city. Sammy meets Billy who is introduced to Jacob. Jacob finds Billy attractive. Billy needs a new place to stay. He is from out of town, too. Jacob remembers Chris mentioning that he needs a new roommate. Jacob brings Billy around to Chris' house and the two hit it off. Billy moves in. Sammy goes home.

Meanwhile, Chris tells Simon about his new roommate. Simon comes around to meet Billy. He finds him attractive, too. Simon begins to flirt with Billy, knowing that Jacob liked him first. Jacob and Simon come to blows. Jacob feels Simon didn't respect him while Simon doesn't see anything wrong with what he did. Billy remains unawares and Chris finds the whole thing amusing. Joshua watches silently from the sidelines.

Simon's friend, Lars, arrives from out of town and he is introduced to Chris. Lars has a boyfriend back home. The three spend Saturday night drinking at Simon's house. Simon sleeps at the guest bed, while Chris and Lars sleep in his. Simon wakes up in the middle of the night hearing Chris and Lars fucking. Simon is not happy but doesn't confront either. Lars goes back home the next day and Simon confronts Chris. The two come to blows. Simon feels Chris didn't respect him while Chris doesn't see anything wrong with what had happened. Jacob finds the whole thing amusing and Joshua still watches from the sidelines. It is unsure whether Lars remains unawares.

Cue today. Joshua and Jacob are still friends but as for the rest of the group, well, that seems up in the air.

Confused? Me, too.
