Summary
Understanding dawned on Brenda’s face. It was not shock or disgust, instead it was a bone-deep weariness of a senior nurse having lived many lifetimes.

The guy with the bloody towel stopped holding it to his head to look over.
"Yes," Ollie squeaked.

Ollie stares at him. The silence stretches for five agonizing seconds.

Summary
Ollie turns Kimi around and pulls back slightly, looking down at Kimi with wide, anxious eyes behind the lenses. He looks so genuinely uncertain, so incredibly unaware of his own lethal appeal, that Kimi feels a physical ache in his chest.
No, you idiot, Kimi wants to scream. They don't look weird. They make you look like you read poetry in your spare time and ponder upon the mechanics of a good spooning.

Summary
"That the boy, then?" Granddad asks, his voice carrying perfectly through the microphone. He gestures vaguely toward Kimi with a weathered hand. "Bit of a nancy, isn't he?"
A collective gasp rings out through the speaker. Ollie’s dad closes his eyes in defeat. Ollie’s mom covers her mouth in sheer horror. Ollie looks like he is about to spontaneously combust from mortification.
Kimi just blinks.

Summary
"Ollie?" Kimi asks, his voice softening, shifting into that gentle register he only uses when they are alone. "Are you okay? Anyone I should cyber-bully?"
Ollie lets out a breathless laugh, pressing the heel of his hand against his eye. "No. No, you don't need to bully anyone. I'm okay. I just..."
Ollie looks up at the dark sky. He thinks about Callum and Josh, constantly searching for the next best thing, terrified of being tied down.
"I just really love you," Ollie says. "I can't wait to come home tomorrow."

Summary
"Kimi, please don't make me spot you during sex," Ollie begs, a panicked edge creeping into his voice. "This is a terrible idea. I don't want to injure you."
"Get on your back." Kimi demands.
or: Kimi desperately wants to prove that they are not vanilla (spoiler alert: they definitely are).
