Their first official date is the Homecoming game, because they're actually cliché as hell. They sit in the fifth row of bleachers and cheer on the team that had he not lost a leg, Jake would've been a part of. Tommy's careful not to hold his hand, not to stand too close—he might be plagued by rumours about his sexuality but Jake, so far as he knew, was known unanimously to be straight. But halfway through Jake reaches down to tangle their fingers together and they stay that way all the way back to Tommy's room, and neither of them care too much about the looks their classmates give them.
