Summary
Mydei rolls his eyes toward Phainon, tugging on his shoulder. “Lean into me,” he says, ignoring the red flush staining Phainon’s cheeks.
“Sorry.” Phainon adjusts himself, obeying once again. “I just—I didn’t think you’d—”
Mydei narrows his eyes. “It’s just a photoshoot,” he says, as much for Phainon as for himself, because this is the thing of dreams. Of nightmares. Being this close to Phainon, pressed into him, breathing in natural scent of him, is almost too much. “Relax, Deliverer, or you’ll strain something, and then you won’t be able to spar with me tomorrow.”
Phainon and Mydei help Castorice with a photoshoot.

Dream a Little Dream of Me by K1LLERDR4GON

Summary
He betrayed Aventurine because he believed; believed that he had a clever plan that hinged on him doing as predicted. The gambler still thinks Ratio doesn’t trust him but that couldn’t be further than the truth, if this is not his ultimate form of trust, Ratio doesn’t know what is. A portion of his conscience stings at the fact that Aventurine genuinely thinks that Ratio dislikes him so much that he would betray him for knowledge, but the gambler had a way of walking around with blinders on when it comes to himself, and his own self-worth.
There is no such thing as death in dreams, only dormancy. If Aventurine chooses to succumb to the Nihility, to give in to the eternal dream, then his physical body in the real world will never awaken.
There are no dice for him to roll to decide his fate this time. The choice is entirely in his hands.
Aventurine escapes from the Nihility to find that his gamble has turned out even better than he expected. He can’t shake the feeling that things are a little too good to be true though.

Summary
"Excuse me," Mydei replies with a deep softness that sits heavy in Phainon's chest, "are you asking me to stop?"
Phainon blinks. He can't believe his ears.
"Stop?" A chuckle falls from his parted lips. "Oh, Mydeimos, I believe we've only just begun."
Mydei smiles, a true, beautiful thing, and cups Phainon's chin. "Do you want me to lead, or would you prefer it if I kept following?"
Swallowing thickly, Phainon tangled his fingers in the small hairs on Mydei's neck and murmured against his lips. "I want whatever you are willing to give to me. Anything."
"Then," Mydei rumbled and pressed their lips together firmly this time, "let us continue our dance without the watchful eye of allies and enemies alike."
Phainon nods minutely. "Lead the way."
OR
A special "nighttime" gala that is held only once every century commences. Phainon is determined to to confess his feelings to a certain Kremnoan prince. It's all a game, their usual back and forth, until it isn't, and both of them find themselves in far deeper than they could have imagined.

Summary
The mystery hot man sitting diagonally to him keeps checking him out. Or at least Phainon thinks he’s checking him out. He keeps looking pointedly in Phainon’s direction, and hasn't turned a page of his book in 5 minutes. At one point he stares at Phainon so hard that a wrinkle forms in between his perfect angular nose bridge.
He won’t lie, that’s very flattering. Phainon has been told that he’s a good looking guy, though he doesn’t make it his entire personality or anything. And if the circumstances were any different, he’d tap it. The man is insanely attractive. But this isn’t about him! This is about Castorice and her potential scammer girlfriend. He had to stay focused! He can’t afford to get distracted by pretty boys!
Meeting online friends in-person is a scary thing, and Phainon can’t rest unless he’s sure his friend Castorice is safe. So he does what any good friend would do, he follows her.
Meeting online friends in-person is a scary thing, and Mydei can’t rest unless he’s sure his friend Cipher is safe. So he does what any good friend would do, he follows her.After all, you’d never know if a weird, suspicious looking guy is secretly spying on them.

Summary
“No, no.” Cipher is saying as she follows his gaze, dread in her tone. “Please don’t tell me that guy’s your type.”
He dyed his hair back to white. Mydei finds himself thinking, as Phainon throws his head back, laughing, and his bangs fall into his eyes.
“Worse.” He says glumly. “That’s my ex boyfriend.”
Cipher’s reaction is just a tad over the top. She chokes on her drink, spluttering unflatteringly as she stares at Mydei like he’s grown a second head. “And when were you going to tell me, your dearest friend Cifera…” She starts slowly.
“...that your ex is Phainon fucking Khaslana?”
Mydei is supposed to be here to celebrate. After so much hard work he and his band—Titans of Calamity, had finally signed a recording contract.
The last person he wanted to run into was him. Popular, handsome, up-and-coming model Phainon, who had become unrecognizable from the boy he loved in high school.
Mydei never got over their disastrous breakup, and right now, he just wants to forget.
But Phainon won’t make it easy for him.- Language:

Summary
There is a word and several synonyms for every feeling in the English lexicon. As he stares at the blond currently adorned in an obnoxiously over the top coat while laid out on the bed by the window he begins to consider a few words to truly encompass what he’s feeling.
Aversion.
Disdain.
Loathing.

At the beginning of the semester of a new year at Paperfold University Ratio has found the most unlikely person to be his roommate. Unfortunately for the pair it seems they have nothing nice to say about the other. Unfortunately they are both too stubborn for their own good.

Archive note: collected from the Sumeru Central Akademiya Notice Board. Dates may be approximated for recordkeeping.
March 01
It is bewildering how strongly some scholars cling to the notion that appearance outweighs function in any discipline, present in architecture most of all. Structures exist to endure, not flatter the vanity of their designers.
- Anonymous HaravatatMarch 02
Dear Anon Haravatat,
Structures also exist to inspire. Most will outlive their creators - and while I agree they should not be designed purely for vanity, that does not mean they must lack aesthetic.

Summary
Aventurine really doesn't know how he ended up in this situation. He sat in the far corner of this room like a foreigner and was forced to listen to this professor's lecture. He really wanted to be back by now, preferably with a meal in his stomach, because he hadn't had one for days. If only he had chosen someone else as his target today. Normally he was always lucky with his decisions. Just not today…

Summary
“Has there really been nobody who catches your eye over the last 2 years?” Mydei asks quietly. Is it a trick of the light or was there… hesitance in those golden eyes?
Phainon squints at him, trying to figure him out. But it’s not like Mydei to be obtuse, the man had always been straightforward, sometimes to an infuriating degree. With Mydei, you can always be sure he only says what he means, so Phainon doesn’t think too much about it when he shakes his head.
“No.”
“Nobody at all?” Mydei asks again.
Phainon, desperate to find love, begs his best friend Mydei to be his dating coach. After all, Mydei is so perfect, his opinion has to be worth his weight in gold, right?
It’s not like he ever had a chance with the man himself anyway.As for Mydei, what’s a guy to do when his best friend, who he’s secretly in love with, asks him for dating advice? Earnestly help while locking away his own feelings, of course.

Summary
Phainon shook his head with a sigh. “You know,” he began, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall, “you’re a lot more attractive if you’re only singing and playing the guitar.”
Mydei frowned at the backhanded compliment. Then, in the hopes of turning this situation on him and catching him tongue tied instead, he raised a brow. “You find me attractive?”
Unfazed, Phainon shrugged. “So what if I do? It doesn’t mean anything.”
He almost convinced both of them that it was nothing. But Phainon’s expression darkened, just a little bit, and he glanced at Mydei once more. “Unless, of course, you want it to.”

He cleared his throat, and Mydei couldn’t help but slide his gaze back towards him with his own questioning look. Phainon inhaled a sharp breath and went on, “I was just thinking if you wanted to go on a date tomorrow.”
Mydei stilled. Slowly, very slowly, he turned his head and stared at him.
He heard that right.
Right?

Summary
Everyone had their fair share of secrets, some more so than others.
Mydei knew this better than most. To his colleagues and to anyone else he came across daily, he was simply the solemn one. He never said anything more than what was asked of him and he never lingered long enough to befriend anyone else. No man was an island, but Mydei came close to being one.
But alone, in the solitary privacy of his own room every Thursday and Sunday night, he harbored one little secret that he would never deign to reveal to anyone else.

“I understand perfectly fine,” Ratio’s hands shake as Aventurine pulls the trigger, relief almost consuming him as it comes up empty. “That you’re willing to throw your life away over nothing.”
The fire in Aventurine’s flares, his eyes darkening and crackling with heat. “You’re not nothing. Not to me.”

Summary
“Please don’t slam the books.” A stern voice cuts through the stillness.
Phainon jumps in fright, clutching at his chest to will his heartbeat to slow as he turns to face the person who interrupted his brooding. As soon as he takes in what’s before him, he forgets how to think.
A man stands across from him, arms folded neatly across his chest, watching him behind a pair of simple black frames that suggest he’s already written Phainon off as a lost cause. He’s sharp and poised, biceps bulging even beneath his loose-fitting jumper, and the worn edges of the neckline leave a sliver of his clavicle on display that Phainon can’t seem to look away from.

Mydei turns to face him, the puzzle snapping into place.
“And you think I wanted her?” Mydei asks, slowly, unable to conceal his disbelief. “You think I’d choose her as my bedmate?”
Phainon works his hands into fists before releasing them.
“No.” Then, his real answer, or at least one closer to the truth: “I don’t know.” A beat. “Would you?”
for the successful defense of a refugee caravan bound for Okhema, Mydei and Phainon receive an unexpected gift.

Summary
This time, Phainon doesn’t tense, but he does say, “We’re on the same side, but it’s not as if you treat me like a friend.” Mydei does, in fact, treat Phainon like a friend, but their expectations for friendship are clearly very, very different. “And now we’re naked, in the baths, and you’ve got your hands half an inch from my dick.”
“Are you always so preoccupied with the proximity of my hands to your dick?” Mydei asks. Phainon makes the same sort of sound you’d hear from a wet cat. Mydei choses to ignore it. “I’m not going to touch you anywhere but your leg.”
Even though he wants to. Even though he’s wanted to for quite a long time.
Phainon injures his leg while training, and Mydei tends to it.
