    Summary

    “Do you think I’m pregnant?” Billy asked a few days later.
    Ray choked on his last bite of dinner despite Billy deliberately timing his question.
    “I don’t know,” Ray answered when he finally stopped coughing. “It’s too soon to tell, isn’t it?”
    Billy noted Ray’s wary look while he internally hyped himself up to say the next part. He’d been thinking about it since that first night after, after they’d moved Ray’s bed back into the sleeping area. Staring at Ray’s back across the divide between their beds, remembering the weight of Ray’s hand on his hip, the warmth of him pressing down between Billy’s legs, Ray’s voice vibrating against his neck, it was all he could think about.
    ~~~
    Or, Billy and Ray have a lot of sex and talk about their feelings with moderate success.

    Summary

    Anything that fell out of the purview of Billy’s limited worldview was not an idea he would suffer being posited.

    Summary

    Ray understands his emotions on an intellectual level, of course, but embodying and articulating them are another thing entirely. It's much easier, and safer, to bury them in favour of being single-mindedly goal-oriented, especially in the predominantly white spaces that he used to operate in. It leaves Ray feeling out of his depth when navigating the emotional space between him and Billy.

    But planning an experiment methodically? That is in Ray’s wheelhouse, and so getting Billy pregnant is what he turns his attention to.

    Or: Ray and Billy try to navigate making a baby in a totally straight and platonic way.

    Summary

    In experimental methodology, a round-robin test is an interlaboratory test (measurement, analysis, or experiment) performed independently several times.

    Or: it had been naive to assume it would work the first time.
