Summary
Dirk’s almost become used to Todd taking Dirk’s hand in his, a twitchy smile on Todd’s face that Dirk knows means that Todd’s fighting off a grin. Dirk’s almost become used to their faux arguing about how Dirk never loads the dishwasher correctly or how Todd can’t figure out how to make a proper cup of tea, fondness always bleeding through their words. Dirk’s almost become used to waking up beside Todd, the sunrise filtering through the curtains and covering Todd in a blanket of light, as though—as though this is how everything should be. As though this is how the universe meant it all to be.
Dirk wants to be entirely used to it. Dirk wants to be able to expect each and every one of these things for the rest of his life. But, at the very edge of his consciousness, the universe tugs insistent and intrusive in every other direction, a constant reminder of how Dirk will never hold that in his hands. No, it’ll sift right through his fingers like sand, infinitesimal.
Or: maybe the universe only has as much power as Dirk gives it.

Summary
“How did this happen?” Farah looks vaguely suspicious of a sudden influx of aesthetically pleasing flowers, which, if Todd’s being honest, is the sort of reason that she’s his best friend. “Did Mona do it?”
“Nope.” Dirk holds up his wrist where a silver bracelet made up of tiny stares jangles a little bit. “We stayed up late watching Kitchen Nightmares and she decided she’d like to come in to work for a bit today. Couldn’t have been her.”
Farah’s eyes narrow and her hand goes to the gun on her belt.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Todd says quickly, holding up his hands. “I did it, don’t shoot any of the vases, okay, I don’t want to have to go out and get new ones.”
Where Todd finds out what flowers mean, where he does his best to express feelings without having to verbalize it, and where I write the absolutely most tooth rotting fluff I have ever put to pen.

Summary
The man’s eyes widen. “Hang on.” He drops the shoe and tries to scramble over the lobby desk. He’s only technically successful, flailing onto the floor.
“Whoa, dude, are you-“ He does that disconcerting popping up thing again, this time right in his face. He steps back a little. “Whoa, dude-“
“Hang on.”
“You already said-“
“You said you don’t know if you like being scruffy or not.” He tilts his head. “Are you trying to tell me that you don’t know who you are either?”
Dirk and Todd, with no memory in a hotel that goes on forever.

Summary
“Perhaps,” Dirk says in his best ‘yes, I’m bullshitting you, but I’m your boyfriend and you love me still’ voice. “The universe wants it this way.”
“The universe wants you to always forget to put the cap back on the toothpaste,” Todd says, unimpressed, screwing the cap on himself.
-
Or Todd’s adventures in dating Dirk Gently, the mundanities of which unsurprisingly turning out to not be very mundane at all (featuring, among other things: intergalactic wormholes, regular periods of lying down on the floor, and several annoying habits that concern toothpaste and toothbrushes.)
