Summary
Jing Yuan grabs Dan Heng’s arm and drags him off to the back of the bar without another word, walking quickly as he dodges patrons with easy familiarity. As Dan Heng’s sudden and visceral rage is wearing off, his mind starts to clear and he realises what’s just happened.
“Did you just call him A-Wen?”
Jing Yuan makes sure the bathroom door closes before he sighs. “I did, and you just foiled my evening plans and almost assaulted an innocent man.”
“No,” Dan Heng says.
“Yes,” Jing Yuan corrects.
Dan Heng accidentally cockblocks Jing Yuan at the local bar in the middle of his hook up.

Summary
As a child, Till wanted to be an escape artist. He knew that it was his responsibility to take note of every door in a room. Every exit. The truth is all there is: Prevention is often the best cure. Like many before him, Till believes in the butterfly effect. An action as minuscule as the flapping of a tiny butterfly’s wings is capable of causing a typhoon elsewhere. If this is the case, the reverse must also be correct. In the right conditions, a displacement as insignificant as a small breeze lifting a leaf must be capable of preventing disaster elsewhere.
If Till taps with the right rhythm, the atoms scattering across his fingers may then affect the motion of others around themselves. Eventually, they will make the walls and their bookshelves steady. Gifted with these strange powers, Till has to ensure the same.
(Or: The complicated inner workings of Till's OCD, especially when experiencing jealousy.)

Summary
“You sound really bothered by it all,” Ivan states, sniffing. Till hopes he can smell the chipped nail polish on himself. He hopes it erases every other scent lingering on Ivan. “I’m not the one with the ego the size of a small planet. You don’t see me writing my name on all my belongings, do you? I don’t believe I have a need for it.”
“You jealous?” Till taunts, losing his grip, and stumbling forward. Their noses brush. For a second, his cheeks feel warmer. He doesn’t know how to make this moment last longer. “Want me to write my name on you, too? All you needed to do was ask, Student Council President.”
“Ah,” Ivan says, rubbing over the back of his neck. He turns his face slightly sideways. “I’m afraid that’s. Not. That won’t be necessary.”
(Or: Till has a habit of writing his name on all that's his. Ivan, naturally, isn't the exception to this rule.)

Summary
"So, what do you need me to do?" Ivan asks, placing his chin on his arm. "Should I pose as I did for that soap advertisement? Lean back on my elbows against the pillows? Perhaps your classmates would enjoy such a visual? I understand that with your workload, dating opportunities are scarce, and I happen to know my looks are at least a little beyond passable to particularly desperate souls."
Till bites his bottom lip to keep from scowling. He would be damned before he allows any of his own classmates get such ideas about Ivan. Ivan's classmates are already a pain in the ass as is. Still, it is better if their fantasies stay limited to Ivan's polished exterior, devoid of any of the chips or cracks, such as the ones around his mouth, where his real joy lies.
If anyone ever found out the way Ivan likes to lick the bottom of the mug with the broken handle after drinking his chocolate milk, Till might just have to kill himself.
(Three photoshoots between photography student Till and his model, best friend... and whatever else.)
