    Summary

    Hermann is making his way through his high school years very nicely right up until Tendo insists on dragging him to a birthday party where someone (it was Tendo) suggests they play Spin the Bottle. One thing leads to another, and suddenly Tendo's strange friend is kissing Hermann.

    He is alarmed. And upset. And determined to know why. So, of course, he turns to Science to help him find the answer.

    Science, and also gratuitous amounts of kissing and bickering and references to various sci-fi franchises.

    Summary

    Newt loves his glasses. They have been a part of him since the beginning and are an important part of his rock star aesthetic. The Precursors hate his glasses. They are inconvenient and inefficient and too reminiscent of the man that defeated them. All it would take is a simple surgery to correct the problem. Years later, Newt still isn't okay with it. Hermann tries to help.

    Summary

    Herman ran like neither of his legs ever locked up and fell to his knees like he was a teenager before the symptoms kicked in, when the biggest worry on his mind was sneaking around with his boyfriend and making sure they didn't get kicked out of boarding school.

    He slammed his hand down on the abort button, then grabbed Newt to make sure he was still breathing. He stopped seizing immediately, and his pulse was steady and strong under Hermann's searching fingers, and Hermann knew that meant he needed to go and get the Marshal right now but he could not make himself move because Newt was clutching at him and sobbing and Hermann thought it was from the pain and shock but that wasn't the case at all.

    Now the memory is doubled, and he knows what Newt really felt in that moment. Secondary, the pressure of Hermann's arms around him, grounding him, something he'd never in a million fucking years ask for but has needed so goddamn long. But primary is relief, because for a few blessed seconds his mind was no longer silent. For a few blessed seconds, Newt was home, even if home immediately turned on him and tried to short out a brain unused to such stimulation.
