Why are the good ones always taken?

2023 · 15 min · ★ 5.0

Unlucky-in-love Clayton is anxious for his first date with August, whom he met on Grindr, but his roommate Julian's prodding questions and sex-positive support are only worsening Clayton's nerves. When he meets August, Clayton is almost immediately at ease, charmed by how natural the connection feels. The date comes to a screeching halt when August casually mentions his partner, and Clayton walks out on him, aggressively judging his choice to be polyamorous. With his suave veneer fractured, a dejected August seeks comfort from the one person who understands how it feels to seek romance outside a relationship: his boyfriend. A newly confident August then makes the best of what's left of his night by meeting up with a stranger from Grindr for a little night cap.
