Summary
He probably stands all of five foot and three inches, Erwin reckons. His build fills out the bar’s uniform: the short sleeves of the branded t-shirt hug his biceps tightly, and with a smirk, Erwin notices that the man’s black jeans are cuffed at the bottom to suit his short stature. Even under the warm glow of the bar’s tacky LEDs, his skin is still noticeably pale. Erwin watches as the man leans on the bar towards one of the customers, a douchey looking guy with a peach fuzz beard, and quickly takes his order. He pulls a pint like he’s done it a million times before, and Erwin can only feel relief that Keith seems to have found someone competent for once.
“It’s Levi, right?”
The man looks up at him- and really, he has to look up. Erwin guesses he must be a foot taller than him, at least.
“Yeah.”
His voice is deeper than Erwin expected. There’s a hint of an accent there - something Northern. He wonders where Levi’s from. How old he is. He looks young - maybe a first-year who’s just moved to Manchester for uni.
“Ah. Good to meet you. I’m Erwin.” He introduces himself.

Summary
Laurent, a respected professor in his late thirties, leads a routine life: for almost twenty years, he's been getting up at the same time, following the same routine, going to the same bakery and then to the same university where he studied and is now a professor.
This all changes when a new student seems to be staring right at him, his eyes always fixed on him, no matter what Laurent is doing. Soon, the student words are turning Laurent's world upside down.
Laurent is sure he's imagining things. There's no other explanation. -

Summary
When Damen's a/c breaks right before an important dinner party, he finds the only technician willing to help him fix it.
Unfortunately, that technician is Laurent.
“Hey,” Damen says, before he even fully opens the door, “thanks for–fuck.”He really didn't mean to say that; never would have, even, if he hadn’t been sitting in a sweltering apartment for the last twelve hours and been on the phone with intractable, obstinate technicians for half of that. If his brain hadn’t been boiling, he wouldn’t have. If he didn’t have this terrible dinner party to worry about, he wouldn’t have. If the man standing on the other side of the door wasn’t the most beautiful person he’d ever seen in his entire life, he definitely wouldn’t have.
But he did.
And the most beautiful (gorgeous, stunning, exquisite, annoyed, blond) person he’s ever seen in his entire life doesn’t seem too impressed by it.
“Believe me, sweetheart, if I had fucked you you’d be saying a lot nicer things than ‘thanks’,” the man says, brushing past him with enough confidence to make Damen think he had invited him in and hadn't just been standing there stupidly, dumbstruck.
