    Summary

    “Yeah? Which was the big guy downstairs? Because my good Catholic upbringing didn’t make the distinction.”

    Out of nervous habit, Ronan brings his wrist up to his mouth and chews on the leather bands there. He’s been wearing them and chewing on them since he was sixteen. It’s a wonder there’s anything left to them at all. He feels the same way about his good Catholic upbringing.

    “I think,” Adam says, quiet now. “That he wasn’t very nice, but that he wasn’t ever given a reason to be. I think it was self-defense.” It’s an explanation that sounds both close to home and far away. He looks up and out the window. His gaze gets caught there, distracted for the first time since they started.

    Ronan looks as well, but it’s dark out now and all he can see is the shadow box reflection of the room against the black behind. Set against the rest of it, Adam’s hunched over reflection looks small and dark. Ronan is little more than a few swaths of stark negative space cut against the white glow. Neither of them has a halo.

    (Or, that one where Adam is an art major and Ronan agrees to model for a sculpture of Satan.)

    Summary

    Adam knows the risk he's taking, stowing away on a Company ship. He knows what will happen if he gets caught.

    Or, he thought he did. He hadn't expected anyone would ever try to save him. He hadn't expected to owe someone else his life.

    Summary

    Late afternoon seeps into the cab, just shy of too warm, and the breeze that crosses window to window tosses their hair in their eyes, around their faces. They ride in pleasant silence, the radio humming softly in the background as they speed down the coast, and when Louis looks over, Harry’s smiling to himself, a private happiness born from whatever’s going on in his head. Louis likes to think it has something to do with him, or at the very least, this adventure they’ve embarked on together, chosen to see through to San Diego.

    Or, Harry and Louis fall in love down the coast of California.

    Summary

    “You’re my best friend, Louis,” Harry says, barely above a whisper. Even if he was yelling, Louis wouldn’t be able to believe his ears. “And I know it’s been a while, but you’re still the person I consider my best friend,” Harry says.

    Louis blinks, and then blinks again. “I honestly cannot say the same, Harry,” he says.

     

    Or, Harry left home without a word after high school, and a lot can change in ten years.
