    Summary

    Everyone knows Reki and Langa are dating. Everyone except Reki, that is.

    “Is it someone from class?”

    Langa pushes his board back and forth, the little rumble of the tires filling the late afternoon quiet between them as he takes a deep, audible breath, looks directly at Reki, and nods. “Yes.”

    And that’s a surprise. Reki tries not to let it show. “Have you guys been on any dates?”

    “Yeah. I mean, I thought they were dates.”

    That’s… kind of sweet. Sweet in the way that feels like it's going to make Reki sick. “How have you even had time for that?” he mutters. “You spend all your time with me.”

    “You’re not talking about skating,” he says aloud.

    “No,” Reki agrees, “I’m not. But I don’t know how to talk about—the other thing.”

    Summary

    This conversation requires an emotional finesse David doesn’t possess. He tries anyway. It’s not part of the job description, but David’s never been able to hold that line of separation in his head. It’ll all kill him early, he knows. The booze and the smoking and the endless parade of messed up kids. Too bad he’s no good at quitting.

    Andrew's in Nashville. Neil's in Palmetto. They're both well-practiced in surviving alone. 
    But now, it's Wymack's problem.

    Summary

    Dear Andrew Doe,

    I am not picking one of the pen pals that’s in California or whatever. I am going to write a fake name and a fake address and send this letter to a fake person. The teacher won’t let me leave until I send this to someone.

    Bye
    Alex

    *

    Neil Josten sent fake letters to Andrew Doe for years, thinking they disappeared into the void.

    Andrew Minyard received every single one.

    Summary

    Wymack grunted. “Hey, why don’t I call in takeout from Sweeties and we can eat it in the office? I have a sixteen year old boy in the back of the patrol car right now that I’m running to the station.”

    Andrew scoffed quietly to himself and set the phone on speaker to light his cigarette. Muffled, he said, “He better be eye candy if I’m coming to that dump.”

    Andrew inhaled deep and closed his eyes for a moment before blowing the smoke out through his teeth. On the other end of the phone, just as he was bringing the cigarette back for another drag, he heard Wymack say, “Hey, my son wants to know if you’re cute.”

    Andrew coughed up his lung at that surprise, but he didn’t miss the way that a distant voice piped up with “I want to say yes, sir.”

    -

    Andrew and Aaron lived under two loose rules after Andrew’s stint in juvie: No more lying, no more secrets. Andrew already had years old secrets to take to the grave, but upon meeting a boy with a fiery attitude and a penchant against staying out of trouble, he quickly realized that he wasn’t the only one.

    Summary

    Aaron turned to his brother and switched to speaking in German. “The fuck do you want?”
    “He wants a tattoo.”
    “You’re a tattoo artist last I checked.”
    “He was some some fucking quote written on his ribcage like he’s a 19 year old woman. I’m not interested. Overcharge him and send him on his way.”
    “Why the fuck did you let him come in here half naked if you weren’t planning on doing it?”
    “The fuck?,” a third voice spoke up in German. Andrew and his carbon copy turned to Neil. “I didn’t walk in without my shirt on.”

    Summary

    When the press publishes an article about Andrew’s affair with a female teammate, Nicky’s the one to call him in the middle of the night to yell at him to fix the blasphemy. The only reason Andrew, exy pro player, single, at all entertains him, is because if there’s one thing he likes more than nothing, it’s a good opportunity to screw with the press.

    A disastrous first blind date and a few phone-calls later, Andrew finds himself falling headfirst into a relationship — you know, the fake kind. For his image.

    But his marvelous plan seems to fall apart at the seams when he meets the disorientingly familiar rookie on one of the rival teams, who seems to be doing his absolute best to avoid him.

    Andrew should never listen to Bee's advice. Or maybe he should always listen to Bee's advice.

    Anyway. At her prompting, he makes a YouTube channel to direct his manic energy into. It doesn't help that he only features his shitty, shitty, robots.

    Summary

    "What do you want?" Neil asks softly. Do you want me here? Should I go?

    Andrew makes a sweeping gesture with his hands towards Neil, not a 'go away,' but a 'scoot over.' Instead of sliding backward like the motion suggests, Neil goes forward, leaving the side of the bed against the wall open for Andrew. It earns him another look, which Neil pretends not to see as he fluffs his half of the pillow, laying flat on his back. Then Andrew deftly climbs over him, momentarily filling his entire world with soft black cloth, blond hair, cigarettes, Andrew-- and then Andrew is settling in the space between Neil and the wall, and Neil is left staring at the slats of his own bed above his head.

    Neil is very awake.

    ------

    This picks up right after the books ended, a short story of how I think the aftermath of the championship game, Riko, and all that jazz would've gone. It is mostly just Neil being extremely sleepy. And having a lot of Thoughts. Mostly about Andrew. More will be added in the series later!
