    Summary

    ?>wdaswadd

    “You’ll tell me if something’s wrong, right?” Avery asks it lightly, like the answer is obvious.

    And so, Derek thinks, sometimes, that it might have been easier if Avery had never been kind to him.

    If the words had been sharper and colder— something easier to push away.. and easier to forget.

    But.. Avery is gentle in ways Derek doesn't know how to survive, and every soft thing he says settle somewhere dangerous, deep; somewhere that keeps blooming no matter how hard Derek tries to ignore it.

    Kindness, it turns out, can be just as fatal.

    Or: there's something growing inside Derek that shouldn't exist— and the only person who could save him is the one he refuses to tell.

    Summary

    The universe grants Derek a second chance. For the plot? For the audience's entertainment? Pity from the creator? He doesn't know. But what he knows is that the world that doesn't exist is long gone, and his new world is right there, in a dingy 7-11 at 11.34pm.

    Or alternatively: 7-11 meetugly. Derek finds Avery 8 months later, who weeps and crashes out.

    Summary

    With all that noise, he must be above a street somewhere crowded, if he had to guess. Maybe somewhere downtown, if not on a street in a city somewhere. 

    …Wait. Why does he have to guess that? Shouldn’t he know where he is?

    He blinks, slow, the gears in his head only now beginning to turn. Where is he? He can’t remember. Why can’t he remember?

    Or, Derek Hutchins is destroyed. Somewhere, much later, a man wakes up on the floor.

    Summary

    Avery is going to kill himself tonight. That’s what he tells himself, at least, when he writes the letter for his family to find, when he leaves his phone and keys on the counter of his shitty apartment and walks out to the bridge that overlooks the river, when he stands motionless on the edge, right beyond the guardrail, and doesn’t jump.

    Or: months after Avery loses him, Derek comes back from the dead.
