    Summary

    Scott isn't ready to come out yet, but Kip is patient. He swears.

    But after months of lying, a quiet argument, and a grad school offer in a different state, the pair start to wonder if this is even worth it.

    Or: What happens if there's no kiss on the ice? What happens if Kip goes away for three years and they don't talk at all? What happens when he moves back to New York?

    Summary

    Shane Hollander didn’t have many secrets. Secrets were just lies and lies were hard. They required a constant and exhausting amount of maintenance. Secrets had to be selfishly hidden and mercilessly protected. They required a magician’s uncanny talent to smile and laugh, pulling the audience’s attention to the left hand while simultaneously warping reality with the right.

    No matter how he looked at it, Shane knew the truth. A secret was a lie, and Shane Hollander could not lie.

    Shane’s mind, riddled with anxiety and a compulsive need for facts, plans, plays, just couldn’t hold all the frayed and sharp edges of a secret (a lie) and not fatally cut himself.

    aka. Shane’s other secret was this. He had a hero and that hero was Scott Hunter.

    Summary

    Scott Hunter is no stranger to physical touch - he knows sex and he knows heavy bro hugs and back slaps and friendly headlocks. He sort of thought that was all there was to know, or perhaps all he would have to know. But Kip with his easy affection and his soft hands changes all of that. In the safe haven of Scott's Kip filled apartment, he gets the touch he hadn't known he was so starved of.

    ___

    Or, five times Scott experiences physical affection for the first time with Kip in private + one time in public.
