Summary
"I can buy you the whole damn city, old sport; anything you can possibly dream of," Gatsby whispers feverishly into Nick's ear, pressing a kiss to the other man's temple. "The New Amsterdam Theatre, Central Park Zoo, even....hell, even Lady Liberty, baby."
Nick laughs and shakes his head, the liquor still warm in his throat and causing the world around him to spin too fast. If it weren't for Gatsby's arms around his waist, he'd surely be laying in a heap on the ground.
"You don't need to buy me anything, Jay," he insists softly, feeling as if he's said such a thing too many times to count now.
"But I could. I could buy-"
Nick shakes his head again, turning around in Gatsby's arms and silencing him with a a lopsided smile and a sloppy kiss.
"You could, yes, but you don't have to. In fact...in fact you could sell this grand palace of yours, Jay, and....and lose all of your damned money in the stock market, and I'd still want you."
Gatsby doesn't respond, looking torn between disbelief and tears.

Summary
He swallowed hard, trembling but unable to tear his gaze away from the being before him. Fear still rooted him in place, but curiosity—foolish, human curiosity—kept his eyes fixed on the way the moonlight caught the monster’s fur, the faint curl of his antennae, the glint of sharp teeth in the dark.
It should have been pure terror. And yet… it wasn’t.
And that fact almost scared him more than the monster did.

Summary
Something twisted deep inside him, sharp and aching, because Tenna was holding onto him even in his dreams. Seeing him in a way Spamton couldn’t see himself—bright, worthy, someone to admire instead of discard.
It terrified him. It comforted him. It left him undone.
At first, he told himself it was just a crush. Just a spark of attraction. But sitting there, thinking about every small detail—the tilt of Tenna’s antennae, the subtle glow of his screen, the quiet safety of his presence, the laughter—Spamton felt the truth slam into him like a punch to the gut.
