<p>He went by Miro, then, a name cribbed from the surrealist painter Juan Miró. I later learned, though far before that 2009 visit, that his parents actually owned an original Miró, and that’s where he’d thought of the name. This was before I was going by Makyo, too. Before I was Makyo, I was Ranna, a name stolen from Garth Nix’s <em>Sabriel</em>. “Ranna the sleepbringer, the sweet, low sound that brought silence in its wake.” \parencite[80]{sabriel}</p>

<p>We bonded over being young — we were both young, once, and dumb — and the fact that we’d both stolen our names from elsewhere. We bonded over being gay. We bonded over being furry. It was a perfect match for early romance, for the first time we dated.</p>
|
||||
<p>I say “first time”, as we eventually drifted apart in the young-love fashion: we got frustrated with the fact that we were growing into different people than then ones we’d fallen in love with.</p>
|
||||
<p>We fell into love, fell out, and then, years later, as he moved to Colorado, some strange triangle — or perhaps quadrilateral — formed between us.</p>
|
||||
<p>He moved to Denver while I was up in Fort Collins, working on my bachelor’s at CSU, and I spent the occasional weekend with him, whether that was him driving up to our place or me heading down to visit him and Kinematics. I thought he was dating Kine, he thought I was dating my now husband, JD, and JD thought I was dating him.</p>
|
||||
<p>It wasn’t until he moved out of state — this time off to Carlsbad, CA to get a degree in gemology — that we actually sat down to have that conversation. I hadn’t started dating JD yet. He and Kine had never dated. The us who we had become fell back into love, found some new way to exist together without driving each other nuts. Not yet, at least.</p>
