At the Sign of the Ancestors by Kara Larson

[reviews_and_ramblings]

This is a short story, less than 25 pages, but it's really sweet.

Kit is a 30 years old guy; of Thai origins, during the day he is a college literature professor and during the night a Muay Thai fighter. He almost brings on a double life, not permitting his fighter personality to mix with the teacher one; Kit holds a deeply love for his origins, but since they are seen like something brutal from common people, he never speaks aloud of them: in a way Kit, openly gay and fighter in the closet during the day, is a proud fighter and a gay in the closet during the night... he hasn't yet found a balance for his two side.

Now the problem is that he is becoming to be serious with Drew, the perfect boyfriend, an African American teacher like him. They are like highschool sweetheart, dating and kissing and making out on the couch, but they haven't still reached the big step. Kit wants, but before that he needs to show to Drew who he is really, risking to lose him.

As I said the story is not very long, and I believe that there is worthy material for something more: how Kit and Drew met? why they are waiting for the next stadium in their relationship (since they are not really teenagers...)? What is the background of Drew (since we don't know much about him)?
