Will friends become lovers this Christmas? Sam People joke that Etienne and I are boyfriends, but whatever. Sure, I think about him all the time—he's my best friend. If I've missed him way more than I expected when he left to train with a new skating coach, that’s because he’s so easy to hang with. And yeah, he’s gay, but he’s not into me. Why would he be? I’m straight. We're not boyfriends. But now Etienne needs me, so I’m rushing to the mountain village where he's skating in a holiday show. That’s what best friends do. Etienne I know Sam will never like me the way I like him. Never love me the way I love him. But now that my competitive skating career might be suddenly ending, I need my best friend by my side. Thank god Sam’s spending the holidays with me. It's okay that he'll never love me back. It’s okay that there's only one bed in this cozy little cabin. We’re best friends. Nothing’s going to happen. Only One Bed is a gay Christmas story from Keira Andrews featuring friends to lovers, forced proximity, bisexual awakening, first times, snowy holiday vibes, and of course a happy ending.
