    Summary

    Derlod stared at the window.

    His wings twitched, scuffed and dirtied. The once shimmering black feathers were dull and messy, their golden shine nowhere to be seen. Some part of him was glad for that.

    He stared harder.

    They itched. The bigger part of him was annoyed about that fact.

    Derlord doesn't know how to ask for help. He learns.

    Summary

    Derek is a reasonable person. This is not arrogance. This is simply accurate, supported by significant evidence, including but not limited to: decoding a cipher stack in seventeen minutes, outmaneuvering a cosmic entity, and surviving six weeks of Avery.

    The six weeks are the hard part.
    Avery touches Derek's arm when he's saying something important. He leans across him and stays 1.8 seconds longer than the task requires. He says you have very nice eyes in a kitchen on a Wednesday like it's a weather report. He says I really like your face and goes back to his book.

    Derek has a catalogue. Forty-three instances. He is managing this. He goes to the kitchen a lot. He has consulted Hastur about it. Hastur was not helpful.
    On a Thursday in May, Derek says: Avery, I need you to know that when you do that, I find it very difficult to think clearly.

    Avery, it turns out, has a folder on his phone. It's called derek says things. It has forty-seven screenshots. The number keeps going up.

    (for the record: they were both managing. they were both very bad at it. the restraint is now concluded.)

    Summary

    "I just uh- well I was thinking about how I've been getting to know you and all that jazz, you know? And then I thought 'well hey, we could always play a question game with each other' so then we could both learn stuff about each other. But well- you already know everything about me so…"

    "I'd be happy to indulge in your curiosity, Avery."

    ---

    "Question Games" more like they're just sitting there asking each other questions to pass time.

    Summary

    Avery goes out skateboarding on a sunny summer day. Once he gets back to Derek, they talk about squirrels, old languages, giant ground sloths, and why Avery doesn't wear elbow pads.

    And if Derek's infinite knowledge is a little unsettling, well...Avery doesn't really mind.
