    Summary

    Eight months into Tenna's Lightners expecting a new member of the family, Spamton walks in on his partner yearning for something he can't have. He may not be able to give him exactly what he wants, but he might be able to do the next best thing. Even if he does, though, nothing quite prepares him for the feelings that come after.

    Summary

    “Oh,” the voice says, as if hit by a sudden epiphany. “Oh! Could it be you’re angry because… you wanted to kiss him?”

    He wishes the floor would open up and swallow him. He wishes he had never taken this deal. He wishes he simply could have been born right.

    “Only… we both know you wouldn’t have, my dear. Like I said…” Breath on his ear, the ghost of pressure on his shoulder. “You’re a coward.”

    “I wanted to,” Spamton breathes, barely. “I wanted to do it.”

    Another audible grin.

    “We know.”

    -----

    Spamton's first kiss with Tenna doesn't go the way he hoped it would, and he has a few choice words for his benefactor. The voice on the phone doesn't mind demonstrating what dissent earns him.

    Summary

    “Forever” is simply not in the cards. Can’t be.

    Shouldn’t be, but a nagging little thought has been squirming around in the back of his mind lately, blinking in and out like the light above his bathroom mirror. Just a little longer. Me, here, like this—just a little longer. Annoying, really, like an itch that only hurts to scratch. But what’s he supposed to do—not scratch it? When the day’s broadcast goes so well and the new segment he and Tenna implemented goes off without a hitch and the production staff treat him like he’s a god and Tenna invites him out to a celebratory dinner with a smile like that?

    Oh, he’s so fucked. That’s the one thing about him that doesn’t change.
