Don't do this to yourself. You deserve this. You're struggling. You're a disappointment. You know things will get better. You're nothing but a fake. Grades aren't going to matter if you get your degree. Drop out.
Drop out.
Drop out.
David pulls at his hair and curls in on himself and prays that it's going to pass easily.

Or, David is burnt out. He makes a rash decision.

Summary
"Twilight was the best time of day.
If not for the rich, deep blues and lingering sunsets, then for the bright look in Jack's eyes as he grinned over at David, the dusky ombres sliding across his stupidly beautiful face as he said 'I love you, Davey', like there couldn't possibly be anything better for him to do.
Jack hated missing a twilight, but he didn't seem to be keen on moving, asleep as he was."

Summary
It wasn’t as if Davey consciously forgot how to act like a proper, respectable member of society. He had just spent so much time around the newsies that their habits and way of speaking had been so heavily ingrained into his mind by the time he returned to school.
So, no, Davey hadn’t lost his manners or the correct way of speaking. It just occasionally slipped his mind that he wasn’t supposed to attempt to spit shake when speaking with a teacher or unintentionally offend a classmate with a nickname that escaped his mouth before he could reign it back in.
(Or: 5 times Davey forgot to not act like a newsie at school + 1 time he didn't need to.)

Summary
In the summer of 1899 Jack Kelly leads a strike against a newspaper tycoon and wins. Following the strike, he moves west to Santa Fe and buys a cowboy hat in a train station. He does everything in his power to hide his Manhattan accent, to disguise the fact that the East still fit over his shoulders like a well-worn coat and the West fit him like a pair of boots that were too small.
At twenty-two Jack runs a strike into the ground and has his face plastered on every street corner of Santa Fe. Now he’s all out of land to run west to. The dream is dried up.
In the summer of 1904 Jack Kelly goes home.

Summary
With a deep sigh, David glances up to the ceiling, gnawing on his bottom lip for a moment. “I don’t think that Jack and I will see it in our lifetime,” He says softly, carefully, “but… perhaps things will change in yours.”
“They ain’t gonna be able to keep us hidden forever,” Jack explains with a soft grin, laced with decades of exhaustion from doing just that: hiding. “There’s too many of us. And if there’s lots of us now, then who’s to say there ain’t gonna be more in the future?”
***
Or, David Jacobs and Jack Kelly are nearing their mid-forties now, and they have wisdom to share.

Summary
It’s a wonder they’re even able to do this. This is their home. They moved in yesterday, after they bought it. No more rent. No more landlords. No longer are they stuck in a cramped apartment; no, because now, they have a house, and a garage, and a driveway, and their own backyard with a fence. They have flower gardens in the front, a two-story out in the suburbs, and things are looking up.
And it all starts by hanging a pride flag on the front porch and covering a wall– their wall– with chalkboard paint.
***
Or, Jack and David are finally moving up in the world. They're dumbasses in love.

Summary
Jack watches from the outskirts of the makeshift dance floor for a while, craning his neck to watch David; he’s right next to the staircase, so his view of David is sometimes blocked by drunk couples trying to find an empty space to get busy, but for the most part, Jack has his eyes on his boyfriend. He’s not trying to be overprotective, or trying to be a creep. He wants David to have fun, and so far, David looks like that’s what he’s doing– his hands are in the air and he’s been integrated into this little group of people Jack recognizes from David’s study group– so Jack knows that his boyfriend is in good hands.
But David doesn’t drink. And Jack knows there might be a reason why.
***
or, David has feelings, and Jack wants him to feel better.

All that Jack Kelly wants is time and space to create, and what better place to escape to than the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

Loosely based on Stephen Sondheim's Evening Primrose.
