    Summary

    “I’m not in denial,” Aaron says plainly. It’s not his own feelings he was ever worried about, he realizes—it’s always been the threat of Kevin’s that scares the shit out of him. Kevin, who has never known how to follow posted speed limits and runs reds because he can, because no one has ever told him he shouldn’t, probably likes him. Probably definitely. He’s afraid that one day he’ll realize he doesn’t.

    Maybe that’s the heart of the issue. There’s precedence for this. Aaron has spent a long time being jerked around by people who love him for a period. It hurts, still, that his mother doesn’t know how to want him; that Andrew’s apathy is hard to interpret as caring sometimes; that Katelyn decided it wasn’t working after all. But that’s not very accurate data. Not that it matters. Kevin and him were never supposed to be together—that was their agreement.

    Aaron wants to enact violence—is thrumming with it—and he totally would have if Kevin didn’t bend forward to push his lips against his. It’s a slow, lazy sort of kiss, the kind that makes Aaron’s heart surge and swell without his consent. A problem, one that reminds him he is outside the bounds of their agreement. But that’s impossible for Aaron to think about when Kevin whispers, “Bed?” against his mouth. Aaron exchanges the no at the tip of his tongue for a yes and decides, in the spirit of not making his birthdays shitty anymore, that he’d set aside the problem and contemplate it tomorrow.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He clutches his head in his hand and yells into his stomach. He has cost everyone he has ever known far, far too much to die now. He does not want to play Exy, but he must. He does not want to be in South Carolina, but he is. He does not want to be part of a Perfect Court that does not involve Riko, but he will have to be.

    Kevin, learning French for him and using it against him the moment he could because if he didn’t have Jean, he wouldn’t make it out. Nathaniel and Andrew, taking the time to bring him along, to talk about him, to force him into a car and away from a man who speared all his pain into Jean’s skin.

    Riko, taking on a useless Moreau and making him number three.

    Jean drags his fingers down his face and doesn’t stop until he feels his pulse beating out of him through his neck. Too fast, he thinks, not sure how he knows. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

    “What, oh?” Riko asks, bodily shoving into Neil so he can see. Neil refuses to be moved - fucking backliner training - so they end up plastered together, shoulder to shoulder, staring at a pair of leather padded handcuffs hanging on the back hook of the locker.

    Summary

    “What’s their deal anyway?”

    “Andrew’s afraid of romance,” Kevin answers, bored. With a little more concern, he asks, “I’m not on speakerphone, am I?” Aaron snorts and confirms he isn’t, and he’d have been fine anyway since there’s a whole closed door between him and Andrew. Kevin goes on. “But history suggests they will figure it out.” There’s a pause in which Aaron thinks Kevin wants him to be bolstered by his words, but he really is shit at offering any kind of real encouragement. Aaron flips his hand in the air and makes a noncommittal noise, and Kevin interprets that however he wants.

    “Aaron,” Kevin says, serious. It’s a complete tonal shift, so Aaron braces for what he thinks he might say next. “You and I—we’re better at arguing than they are. Do you agree?”

    “What,” Aaron says, relaxing but still exasperated, “are you talking about? Kevin, we argue all the time.”

    “Yeah, but not about anything serious. Don’t pick a fight with me right now.”

    Spoiler: Aaron does pick a fight with Kevin, and on the road to resolution, they acknowledge something new—or maybe not so new—about each other.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He doesn’t say any of that. What he does say is, “You’re so annoying,” in the most aggrieved voice he can manage.

    Kevin breezes past that. “Date me,” he says again, more insistent.

    Aaron takes his hand away from his nose and makes several cutting gestures before he decides on what to say next. “You’re not dateable.”

    “No—what? Fuck you, I totally am. I told you not to pick a fight with me.”
