Summary
Ethan squinted at him. “It’s hardly a big deal.”
“It kind of is!” Xander’s voice got embarrassingly high-pitched. “What if I get like- blood on it? Then what, huh?”
Ethan arched an eyebrow. “Then I’ll… wash it?”
Xander didn’t actually have a response to that one, so he just scowled at him to get his disapproval across. He was painfully aware of the fact it came out more like a pout than anything, judging from the amused little smile Ethan gave back to him.

Summary
“Now you really do have no brain.” His father said, smacking the back of Xander’s head hard enough that the fluid sloshed around in his cranium. Xander tried to scream but his tongue had melted, too, and his mouth was full of the same viscid substance. It bubbled out of his lips and he retched into the sink again.

Summary
Xander hesitated, before extending his arm just enough to hover his hand a couple of inches above Ethan’s face. He held back a heavy sigh of relief once he felt Ethan’s breath warming his palm.
There. There. He let his shoulders sag. Thank God for that, now he could–
Ethan’s eyes flew open and he sat up with a sharp gasp. Xander startled and he hastily withdrew his hand before Ethan could smack his face into it.
“Jesus.” Ethan said, chest heaving, staring at Xander as if he were the ghost instead of him. “Alex…?”
Well. Shit.

Summary
“Mm, no.” Ethan feebly tried to push Xander’s hand away with all the strength of a malnourished kitten. “I don’t get sick.” He punctuated each word with a cough.
“Ooooh, very convincing.” Xander said sarcastically.
“I don’t.” Ethan insisted petulantly. “I’ve only ever been sick twice in my life.” He held up three fingers to emphasise his point, before realising his error and quickly putting the third back down. “Twice.”
Or,
Ethan gets sick and Xander looks after him.
(takes place in the same universe as "Hazelnut Whirls", but can be read as a stand alone)

Summary
Ethan scoffed and reached out, wrapping his fingers around Xander’s ankle and dragging him down the bed despite his attempts to escape until he lay flat on his back underneath him, ignoring the half-hearted kick he gave him to the ribs.
He loomed over Xander, dusky brown-and-grey hair hanging down, his expression stern in a way that was sort of maybe kind of sexy. “You’re a terrible liar, you know that?”
Xander swallowed, looking away quickly, and willing the flush he could feel creeping up his chest to not reach his face. “‘M not lying.”
Or,
Xander and Ethan are hooking up. Sort Of Kinda.Series

Summary
He knew where the scar wrapping around Alex's throat came from. Alex had told him. Blake had broken down after Destiny, Demi and Micheal passed. Alex had never told him, nor faulted him for it. Still, it was nasty and painful-looking. But such could be said for most of the scars that laced Alex's frame, and Ethan didn't know the origins of most of those. He had his suspicions, but nothing concrete.
He mouthed down the column of Alex's throat and stopped when he reached a small, thin scar on his clavicle. It was one of the few that was shallow enough to heal white instead of pinkish-brown or purple. Inherently not noticeable against the alabaster of Alex's skin, especially when compared to the others, but still there. “Where's this from?”

Summary
Alex was Winter’s child to his core; from how the apples of his cheeks and the tips of his nose and ears would flush pink from the chill, to how the snowy white of his skin was almost always cold to the touch. But summer, bathed in golden light, looked good on him, too. Really good.
“Staring,” Alex spoke in a sing-song voice without opening his eyes, and Ethan jumped a little, startled out of his (admittedly sappy) train of thought.
“So you are awake.”
Or; Ethan is very, very in love.
