Summary
Nick sticks by Dylan’s side trying to gain every bit of closeness he can. They bump shoulders and stare at their feet as they walk in sync. Neither of them talk. Not about the elephant in the room, anyway. In fact, they try to talk about anything other than the obvious: what are we doing? The what are we?
also known as, the four times hackett's quarry summer camp was out to get dylan and nick plus the one time they say fuck it and finally get some alone time.

Summary
“Do you ever feel like,” Dylan starts hesitantly, “everything you do is fake?” He keeps his eyes on the sky, the stars blanket over them. He can see Nick look at him out of the corner of his eye. “Like it’s all just an act and now you’re in it too deep and you can’t take it back?”
“All the time.”
In which Dylan and Nick look at stars and talk about their feelings while simultaneously not talking about their feelings.

Summary
“I mean, maybe I played it up too much. The whole jokester persona thing I’ve built up. I should’ve been more real with him, but everyone likes the whole funny-guy thing. Dylan-Dylan is just so. Blaugh.”
“I like Dylan-Dylan.” Nick says. It’s quick and casual, bordering dangerous territories and he feels his throat go dry.
“Yeah, sure.”

Summary
If Mason were to close his eyes and picture Theo, he’d see him mean-eyed and dangerous. Phony charm shed like snake skin baring malintent. His aftermath, Melissa hunched over Scott’s lifeless body doing chest compressions.
Not like this. Hazy and unnervingly honest. Tips of his ears red, pressing his palms to his cheeks to soak up their warmth. Mason saw it down there, in the basement. The way a slice of pizza and a bear hug from Liam thawed all of his standoffishness into a puddle of belonging. Pity invite or not, Theo showed up for a reason.
Mr. Maybe-I-Want-To-Be-In-The-Pack tries, Mason can at least give him that.

Summary
“What are the odds you’ll kiss me right now?”
Theo’s brows raise as he hesitates, gaze flitting down toward Liam’s mouth and back up. Then he steps closer, tongue darting out to wet his own lips as he starts the countdown, voice rough in a way that sends a chill down Liam’s spine.
“Three...”
“Two...”
“One…” Liam whispers. He’s not sure if this is a game anymore. He’s not sure that he wants it to be.
---
Liam engages Theo in a game of “what are the odds” while waiting for hunters to arrive at the zoo. Problem is, once they start playing, they don’t really know how to stop. Not that he wants them to, anyway.
