Buck always knew there was something wrong with him. It was obvious in the way his parents wouldn't let him learn to swim, in the way he couldn't stop dreaming about diving down into salt water until he couldn't even see the surface anymore.

Summary
His skin tinged with the ocher sunrise makes him look like a ripe apricot, chest rising and falling as he greedily huffs for breath. He is sweating pellets of sap, and his peach fuzz bristles my chin.
“What were you doing!” He repeats, breathless, and angry. He spits when he yells, his body’s nectar spewing out of his mouth and raining down into my own.
I swallow but my mouth is still an oasis.

Summary
“You’re right.” Antinous cocked his head, the smirk having returned with double the sadistic strength. “Maybe you are just crazy, puppy. Maybe you really are just making up monsters in your head, bedtime stories without a daddy to tell them to. Funny how, even in your dreams, your fears persist.”
“I am not afraid of you.” His voice gives only the slightest of tremors.
Telemachus is being haunted by his worst enemy. Only his worst enemy is still alive, and maybe this mysterious ghost isn’t quite what he seems.

Summary
Whatever you say, Rin thinks, but he makes sure to plaster that same smile on his face to not show any indifference. He doesn’t get paid enough to discuss life lessons with his customers. “And, what’s the name for the order?”
“Isagi.” The boy says, “Yoichi Isagi.”
Rin’s hand hesitates as he writes the name on the cup. He didn’t need to hear the name of the kid to know he was right: the face was unfortunately confirmation enough. It was the kid who had a bad habit of showing up quite literally everywhere like irritating background noise: lingering in the halls, popping up randomly in his classes, and now, apparently, also in this cafe.
Yoichi Isagi. And of course, because Rin’s luck is terrible, that name is now scrawled in black ink, over a cup that he has to hand back to Isagi in less than five minutes.
______________________________OR: Rin's a barista who's life is slowly being invaded by an annoying customer with bad coffee taste

Summary
Scott watches him as his brain runs through a million different thoughts at once. From scolding himself to praying for forgiveness to preparing for what the stranger might say.
“Smajor, I know this is hard, I didn’t want it either, but if we’re going to spend the rest of eternity together, we might as well make it bearable. You don’t have to trust me, not in the slightest, but at least let me help. Please?”
Or
Proper communication and cuddles. What more could one want?

Summary
Strawberry Crepe Cookie wasn't used to other people being around. They didn't know how to care about others, be nice, generally interact. They had only ever cared about themselves. As much as they liked the waffle bots, they weren't people. For the longest time they only had themselves to care about.
The concept of other people was foreign. Other people being… you know, people was even more foreign.
All that being said, they didn't belong in the Vanilla Kingdom. They never would.

“Come on Vander! I’m sure it’s not far from here.”
“You said that half an hour ago Felicia!” Huffed the older of the two while hoisting himself over a stack of vents to join the other atop the warehouse roof.
“Ok yeah, but now I know we’re close. Can’t you smell the river?”
She crouched down and reached her hands out to help her friend up.
“Wow…” Felicia whistled in wide-eyed amazement. “Now I understand why they call it Topside. Just look at those columns!”
