    Summary

    "Andrew’s arm slides around Neil’s waist, slow enough that Neil could stop him if he wanted to. He doesn’t. He lets Andrew pull him in against his chest, one arm tight around him, solid and unyielding. Protective, though against what, Neil isn’t sure.

    The heat of Andrew’s body sinks into him almost immediately, thawing some of the chill lodged deep in his bones. Neil hadn’t realized just how cold he was until now. He curls closer without thinking about it.

    Andrew’s hand spreads flat against his side, slipping under his shirt carefully. “You’re freezing,” he mutters after a minute.

    “It’s just cold in here.” Neil closes his eyes and adds, “But you’re warm.”

    Andrew makes a quiet, irritated sound at that, but he doesn’t let go. Neil lets himself sink into the warmth instead of thinking about the blood or the pain or the way his body feels increasingly foreign to him. He focuses on Andrew’s heartbeat beneath his cheek. The steady rise and fall of his breathing. Eventually, Andrew’s grip tightens almost imperceptibly around him, like he’s afraid Neil might disappear if he loosens it too much."

    OR

    Neil isn't feeling well, but he's fine. Totally fine. Nothing to worry about here!

    Summary

    If Andrew had met Neil today, at the ripe age of twenty-five, when the dark is just the dark and not a threat, and when he doesn’t need to balance on rooftops to feel things anymore - maybe things would be different.

    Maybe better than okay.

    But he didn’t meet Neil today - he met him seven years ago as Aaron’s new friend, when the word "want" was a foreign body in his mouth, and so things are just okay.

    He is okay, and he is in love with his best friend, who isn't in love with him, and it is okay.

    Summary

    Neil was just trying to leave the hotel he'd holed himself up in after being released from WITSEC two weeks ago.

    Simple, right?

    And while he did succeed in leaving the building, he also managed to get stuck in an elevator with the entire Palmetto State exy team, perform emergency triage on half of them, parkour a little, and possibly learned what it means to be free.

    Featuring: Chaotic Foxes, Neil being the only competent person in the room, concerning head wounds, and even more concerning blondes who won't stop staring while Neil tries his best not to die in this elevator.

    Summary

    “I am only going to ask you this once, so listen carefully,” says Jean in French the following Monday at nine o’clock in the morning. He drops his bag in front of Neil and points at him. “At the housewarming. What were you and Andrew Minyard doing in my room?”

    Next to him, Kevin promptly breaks into a coughing fit.

    Neil and the trials and tribulations of being a college student, having Kevin and Jean as his friends, and his roommate Andrew leading him up to the rooftop every night.

    Summary

    Jean wonders, briefly, what he is supposed to do now. He thinks about Jeremy going into that empty room with someone else. He thinks about them pinning Jeremy to Derrick’s useless bed. He thinks about the brown of Jeremy’s eyes being the only visible color through the mass of dark air, how close they would be.

    He was right. This is a stupid game.

    Then the bottle stops, and Jean recenters.

    It’s pointing right back at him.

    At the Trojans’ end of semester party, Jean and Jeremy get paired for a game of seven minutes in heaven.
