    Summary

    "...I have come to greatly dislike the nepotism that gave nearly every important person in this company their job whether or not they’re deserving of it. I despise that my father gave me my position rather than letting me find my own place. I’ve wasted too much of my precious time for this company and trying to make my father proud when I could have been doing some actual good somewhere else. It’s taken me far too long to realise that this company doesn't really have a place for me in it that I can take pride in.”

    Summary

    The look Felix gave him was cold, calculating, like he'd measured Sylvain's worth and found him lacking. Sylvain squirmed under the weight of it. He wanted to be worth something in Felix's eyes, and the realisation hit him like a punch to the gut, leaving him breathless.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Felix pours the coffee. Sylvain reaches for it, and Felix’s hand lingers for too long, before pulling away. “A good friend once said that a brew is only as good as the company it’s shared in.”

    Sylvain chuckles darkly. “No wonder everything I drink tastes like shit.”

    “That’s bullshit, and you know it,” Felix immediately responds. His voice is quiet, but it’s sincere.

    Sylvain sips his cup, and it is bullshit. He laughs again. “Figures this would be the best fucking cup you’ve evermade me.”

    Felix hums at that. “You once asked about my favorite brew,” he says.

    “That’s not for you to know.” They’re repeated words, but ones that he remembers well.

    “Pecans, Maple and Vanilla, with enough caffeine to fuel an army. I don’t think I’ve ever given you a blonde roast, but here you are.”

    “Figures.”

    “I…” But Felix hesitates, worrying his own cup between his hands. “I’ll miss you,” he finally admits. “When you leave.” Oh, the fucking dramatic irony. Sylvain can’t help but laugh, and Felix huffs at that. “Is that funny to you--”

    “No it’s not,” Sylvain says quietly. “It’s tragic.”

    Felix turns to him, his brow furrowing into a cute little wrinkles and-- Sylvain sighs.

    But Felix knows how to read him. “What happened between the two of you?” he asks gently.

    “We had a fight.”

    “Did she not want to go back with you? Gautier lands are quite unforgiving.”

    “I told her that I didn’t love her.”

    Felix blinks at that. “Was that a secret? It’s not as if she loves you, and she doesn’t strike me as stupid--”

    “I told her that I love someone else.”

    Felix’s mouth snaps shut. “Well, not what a lady wants to hear.”

    “Not usually, no.”

    Felix sips at his mug. “She must have been angry.”

    “She told me to go for it.”

    “What?”

    Suddenly, the coffee seems cold in his hands. “Yeah, hence the fight.”

    Felix tips his head to the side, his eyes narrowing. “The woman gives you a pass, and you argue over it? How stupid are you?”

    “It’s pretty complicated.”

    Felix hmphs at that. “There’s very little complicated about you, Sylvain.” But then his expression falls tender. “Will you?” he asks hesitantly.

    “Will I what?”

    “Go for it?”

    Sylvain is quiet for a long minute, rubbing his fingertip along the edge of his cup. Watching the garden and how the sunlight filtered through the trees around them. He’s about to make a mistake. He’s about to throw caution into the wind, and quite possibly fuck up his entire life. He turns to Felix, who looks back in curiosity.

    He reaches out suddenly, pressing his fingers against the high arch of Felix’s cheekbones. He’s prepared for the man to pull away, but he doesn’t. “There aren’t any coffee shops in Gautier,” he finally says.

    “Sylvain--”

    “I’ve come to enjoy it a lot. Coffee, I mean, but it’s not really the drink that I like. What was it you said earlier? The brew is only as good as the company its shared with?”

    “Sylvain.” Felix’s voice pitches high and breathy.

    Sylvain moves to grasp his chin gently. “Would you come with me? Up North?”

    “Idiot.” Felix reaches out, gripping onto Sylvain’s shirt like it’s a lifeline. “Stupid, stupid, stupid.”

    But he doesn’t say no. He’s red, and embarrassed, and he drops the cup of coffee in his lap. It clatters to the ground, cracking. And he still hasn’t said no.

    Sylvain smiles, before leaning in.

    Felix meets him halfway.

     

    MAKE A COMIC OF THIS!

    Summary

    Yuri looks soft, Otabek realizes; he’s struck by how everything that he’s known to be Yuri, really isn’t Yuri at all. Otabek swallows thickly as he watches from his corner, leaning against his piano, before moving to chug the rest of his water. When he gets home later that night to his quiet home, he calls his sister.

    “Hey,” Otabek says the moment that she picks up, leaving no room for her to even greet him. “I think that I’ve fallen in love with Yuri.”
