IC:
Cole sat out on the back porch of his apartment, enjoying the tail end of a cigar and swirling the whiskey around the last remains of ice. It was going to be another Friday evening at home, which wasn't a bother really. He could see if his neighbors across the hall, Dex and Leah, would be up for something later. They could probably use a good night out.
Cole and Dex had been roommates during college, and the situation had worked well enough that they had kept the arrangement upon graduation. It had worked out very well, to Cole's mind, when Dex had started dating Leah two years ago and starting spending most of his nights at her place. The two had gotten married and moved in across the hall, and while Cole now had to pay for the apartment himself, a free dinner a few times a week made up for the trouble. Plus Leah had been throwing a few of her friends his way and while none of them ever really worked out, it had been an entertaining social life. For Cole, life wasn't bad at all.
Dex and Leah, however, had been having problems. Well, Cole amended, only one problem really. They were looking to start a family and a year of trying had produced no results so far. A trip to a specialist isolated the problem as a low sperm count, not a insurmountable problem but the young couple didn't have the funds for a medical solution. It had put a little stress in their relationship. It really wasn't a problem Cole could help them out with though, and he felt a little bad about being helpless. Dex would frequently use him to vent his frustrations, and Leah would use Cole as a sounding board when she thought she wasn't getting through to her husband. Cole was sure that the couple would work through it. Eventually.
OOC: I tried this idea earlier, and after an extended leave of absense, would like to try again. Looking for a female to play the role of Leah, who will come to Cole with the idea of using him as a trusted, and secret, surrogate. PM if interested.
