    Summary

    Diminutive forms are usually emotionally colored and used in friendly and intimate communication. It's generally not appropriate for a foreigner to use these forms when travelling in Russia. If you are close friends, it may be ok.

    Summary

    Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.

    So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

    Summary

    He thinks about the list more and more.

    He wants a new dryer, some new clothes, for Christopher to think he’s cool again.

    He wants to pay the truck off, to fly his sisters out for a visit. He wants –

    He wants to be happy. He wants a partner, he wants to be seen, he wants to feel like he has someone who can read his mind and knows his next move before he’s even decided to make it. He wants someone who loves Christopher as much as he does and doesn’t mind that Eddie’s a little screwed up, who doesn’t see him as a problem to be solved. He wants to be loved because, not despite.

    He wants, wants, wants.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)
