    Summary

    Felix releases him with a shove instead of a hit. He thinks about hitting him – just to see the shock on his face.

    But that’s not worth the aftermath is it now?

    “You’re so fucking annoying,” Felix says, dragging a hand through his hair. “Always stalking me. Always moralizing. It’s exhausting. Don’t you think the same?”

    “I’m trying to keep you alive.”

    Irritation bites.

    Summary

    It's stupid, really. I mean – who would ever cry about your best friend giving you a matching necklace but instead of your initial, it's his crush's? That's dumb!

    Summary

    Davey glances toward the lens, then toward Austin, who is deliberately staring out the opposite window. Davey gestures subtly between them. “You see how the camera is facing us? We look like a divorced couple.”

    Summary

    Giulia knows the prayers by heart.

    She can recite the Act of Contrition without thinking. She knows when to kneel, when to stand, when to bow her head so her hair falls forward and hides her face. She knows how to look small in a pew.

    She also knows the exact shade of lipstick Maria wears on Fridays.

    Summary

    “You idiot,” Luca says, his voice shaking. “You absolute idiot.”

    Alberto tries to grin, but it falters halfway. “I was fine,” he murmurs.

    Luca stands so abruptly the chair scrapes against the floor. “No, you weren’t.”

    Alberto looks down at his hands. They’re steady. He remembers how they shook, how he couldn’t draw a full breath, how he thought he was about to disappear for good.

    But he just went to heaven and back.

    Summary

    Davey has trained long enough to know the sound of his own breathing when he’s about to lose – and the sound of Austin’s qiang cutting the air has been haunting him ever since.

    They come up through the same circuits, the same tournaments, the same echoing gyms that smell like resin and sweat and ambition. They bow to each other with perfect courtesy and then spend the next three minutes trying to outdo, outpace, and outlast the other. Austin fights loud and reckless, all sharp grins and last-second improvisation. Davey is precise and controlled, every movement drilled until it lives in his bones. Judges love them. Coaches pit them against each other. Everyone else learns to step back.

    They know each other’s forms better than their own teammates’. They recognize tells, weaknesses, the exact second the other is about to take a risk. They trade medals and glares and clipped congratulations that mean nothing and everything. Losing to anyone else stings. Losing to each other feels personal.

    Wushu demands balance – strength and grace, aggression and restraint. Davey and Austin are very good at the first part. The second part takes longer.

    Summary

    Davey does what any sensible seven-year-old monarch would do. When a king likes a knight, they bury the feeling like treasure in a locked chest.

    Summary

    Austin has always been disciplined, consistent, precise, and all those nice things his team and his coach had to say about him.

    The difference between winning and losing is small, so he makes a choice that helps him win--and ultimately keeps it to himself.

    After all, he's always been this dedicated.

    And if you repeat something often enough, it stops feeling incorrect.

    Summary

    That hurt more than Davey expected. He hadn’t asked for an apology. He’d just wanted reassurance, something soft to hold onto. They talked past each other, both too close to their own nerves.

    Jealousy sneaks up on Davey before he knows what to do with it.
