Summary
“I could name a thing or two that doesn’t do you any favors,” says David.
“Oh, yeah? Go on, then.”
David shakes his head. “You’re not gonna listen to me anyway. What’s the point of giving you good, honest advice if you’re not going to take it?”
“If that’s really what you thought, Dave, you’d never speak a word to me again.”

Summary
“Then what’s this about, huh? Why are you fighting so hard? Why are you defending them before your own mother?”
“Because I’m one of them!” Davey snapped.
He clapped his hand to his mouth. All the anger that filled his skull seeped out in an instant. In its place came fear. Icy cold as the gravity of what he had said struck him. His mother stared at him with something between shock and hurt.
She looked up at Mayer with teary eyes. “Our son’s a faggot. How… what did we do wrong?” She cried into Mayer’s arms.
“Leave. Now.” Mayer gritted. The words were final, leaving no room for rebuttal. Not that Davey had any. He could not stand being in the restaurant any longer than he had to.

Or, Davey comes out in the midst of an argument and gets kicked out. Thankfully, Jack is there for the fallout.

Summary
Even the great Jack Kelly isn't immune to sickness every once in a while, no matter what he likes to say. This time around, though, he'd made the rookie mistake of fainting in front of David, and is suffering the consequences by being held captive in the Jacobs' apartment until they deem him better.
Actually, it might not be all that bad.
OR: Jack gets sick and recovers in the Jacobs' apartment, with no small amount of tomfoolery.

Summary
Davey has always been too curious. His mother had said that when he scraped his knee after trying to climb to catch a star. His father had said that when he broke his shoulder trying to add an engine to his bike. His teachers had all said that when he interrupted their lessons to ask questions.
And maybe, just maybe, his curiosity was about to bite him in the ass. Because now he was tied up in a warehouse with the most powerful man in all of New York scowling down at him.

Summary
David Jacobs was not a particularly impulsive individual. He'd had the same best friend since the third grade (Jack Kelly), been in love with said best friend since freshman year, and was perfectly happy with pining silently until the day he died, so long as things remained the same. Senior year rolled around, and the aforementioned best friend got a girlfriend. New relationships toss David and Jack's relationship into turmoil, and David finds that the consequences of acting before thinking can be unfortunately extreme.
