    Summary

    They’d been arguing in circles for what felt like the tenth time this week. It went like this: Roger would get all depressed about who-knows-what and mope around the apartment. Mark, confused, would try to fix it. Roger would get angry at Mark, even though he knew full well that Mark loved fixing things.

    Needed to fix things.

    “Why?” Mark asked hesitantly. “You never told me why. You just said it wasn’t working. Is that- is that true?” Roger used to be in love with Mimi. Mark couldn’t understand why Roger was so damn depressed if he didn’t even want her back.

    “Well, it wasn’t.” Roger said, staring off with that faraway look, like he was still all the way in Santa Fe. “She wasn’t- you know Mimi. She's incredible. But she realized my eyes kept catching on- that I kept looking at-” his mouth looked as if it was trying to form the words but simply couldn’t. “I wasn’t trying to,” He said weakly.

    “Who?” Mark asked quickly, hands twisting in his lap.

    “Men.” Roger muttered.

    The silence was static.

    Summary

    "…Hold on. Did you leave me no blankets?"

    Collins shrugs, though he guesses it might be hard to tell from the form of the human cocoon that he's merged into sometime while settling himself.

    "I mean, I'm not keeping them from you. You can come and get them."

    Angel scrunches up his nose, like he tends to do when he's annoyed. Collins knows them well enough to know that there's no serious heat behind it now; it's more joking, teasing. "And what happened to I'll be your blanket?"

    "Am I saying I won't be?" The smile on Collins' face slowly grows into a wide, teasing grin. "I'm just saying that if you want it, then you should come and get what's yours."

    Summary

    It's not the first kind of love that he knows; he's loved many things and people and lost twice the amount, knows by now that he can either keep waiting for the spontaneous implosion or surrender to the possibility that nothing changes is not a worry but a comfort, that his only two options are to risk the blow up or press the button himself.

    Roger's spent his whole life looking for a safe haven.
    ---
    A memoir of sorts, following all the things and people Roger's loved and lost throughout his life.

    Summary

    Kojiro is the drummer of 2AM Confessions, a touring alt-rock band that thrives on late-night energy, broken routines, and chaotic friendships. He's never cared much for musicals, or broadway, but when Miya and Langa force the band to see Rent's last performance in New York, everything changes.

    Kauro is Angel, practically the star of the show, performing with brilliance that captivates the audience night after night. Offstage he is in a controlling relationship with Ainosuke, struggling to keep up appearances while yearning for freedom.

    Summary

    A selection from Mark Cohen's 1999 “Viva La Vie Bohem: the life of Mark Cohen” From the chapter “on April”

    “I really did like her. They had shown me some songs they wrote for each other. April's lyrics were more flowery and metaphorical compared to Rogers raw rock despite her also writing rock music.

    Roger mulled over his songs for weeks, months before showing anyone else, scribbling down words every spare second.
    whereas April would do one pass and be done, performing for us that night only waiting for the ink to dry, he took her input on his songs seriously waiting until she deemed them done to show everyone else. I knew she had when one of the songs had a little heart doodled in the corner a sharp contrast to her polished handwriting.
    I liked her. She was funny and smart and lively and, I realized, unstable.”

    (Or Marks “movie” somehow got popular enough that he writes a memoir about his life and you are reading a section of that)

    Benny’s words come back to him then, the same ones he already knows will always be in the back of his mind.

    Maybe he already did.

    Summary

    There’s saliva all over his mouth. Or maybe he’s drooling. Must be. He drags his hand off of Mimi’s shoulder limply and swipes his thumb over his lower lip.
    It only takes a few moments for his face to be eaten again.

    Summary

    “Mark?” Roger called through their apartment as he scoured their kitchen for food. He wrinkled his nose at a suspiciously old looking carton of Pad Thai, and threw it out.

    “In here!” Mark called from his room.

    Roger wandered over, peeking his head in the door. “Hey, hey, hey.”

    “Morning, sunshine.” Mark was pouring over his latest script, cigarette hanging from his lips- this time he was writing a real film, he claimed, not a documentary. “It’s,” Mark checked his watch, “just past noon. That’s pretty darn early for you," he teased, eyes sparkling as he fixed his glasses.

    Roger shook his head with a laugh. “You don’t sleep, Mark.” This was true- Mark had what he himself had dubbed selective-insomnia, only sleeping when he absolutely needed to. Somehow he stayed impossibly energetic. “You wouldn’t get it, sleep is my only pastime.” Roger joked, glancing back at the kitchen. “We don’t have food.”

    “We have cigarettes,” Mark swiveled in his chair and held his half-smoked one out to Roger with a grin.

    “Okay, smart-ass.”
