Summary
Creative Writing: Pick something in your life that upsets you and exaggerate it to the extreme. Then, write about it as if it were the most messed up thing happening in your life right now.
Every Friday in Mrs. Johnson's English Class was creative writing day.
It would be seven years before Ben fully saw the repercussions of that particular prompt.

Summary
The day Kojiro’s son is born is simultaneously the happiest and most gut wrenchingly horrifying day of his life. He’s 15, how is he supposed to be a good dad? How is he supposed to tell his friends?
The first question is a work in progress, the second? Well, maybe he just won’t tell them.
Or: JOE is Reki’s dad. He’s in love with Cherry. Cherry doesn’t know about Reki. What could go wrong?

“This wine isn’t very strong, is it?” Kaoru asks.
“It’s sweet,” he says. “Light enough for a summer night.”
---

Ghosts are abstract things; leftover memories and what-could-have-beens.
Langa is certain that Reki can’t be one of them.
(or; the park beside the sea is haunted. it takes Langa two weeks of skateboarding lessons to realise this.)

Summary
Kojiro promised forever; Kaoru wonders if it’s like how asymptotes stretch for infinity, yet there’s a line they can never cross.
There are the things he knows about Kojiro, and then there are the things that he doesn’t. What he knows is immeasurable and countless, in a way that it blends together with what he doesn’t — yes, Kojiro is kind, but what if that kindness has a limit they’ve yet to reach? Kojiro is the one who’s never left, but what if that changes?
Worse, Kaoru himself has already changed, and it feels dangerous.

Summary
"Her signature is at the bottom, bubbly and loopy, with a little heart doodled next to it.
Langa realizes, with a start, that he doesn’t remember what her face looks like. He’d been so caught up in the idea of love, of having someone, that he hadn’t taken the actual person into account.
It gets easier. The names and faces blur together when he learns them, and it doesn’t hurt as much when they cry. He never entirely stops feeling bad about it, though. He knows it takes courage to try to tell him their feelings in the first place, and Langa doesn’t like hurting people.
He decides that romance isn’t something for him. Love is something that happens to other people. There’s no one in his life that he can’t imagine losing. There’s no one that he can’t live without.
Meeting Reki feels like a revelation.”
~~~~~~
In which Langa has never been in love, and then suddenly, there’s Reki.

Summary
'You tabloids will latch onto the newest piece of gossip and psycho-analyse it to hell.'
Against her better judgement, Tanya rolls her eyes, and Harley's voice rises. 'She's thirteen, she's going through some stuff!'
'She broke her classmate's nose and dislocated his shoulder.'
'And we issued a public apology and we're paying his hospital bills.'
'So that makes it okay?'
He blinks at her, floundering, before he throws his hands up in exasperation. 'It's a family issue! So we're dealing with it. Like a family.'
'Be realistic!' she snaps, a bit too sharply and he draws back like he's been slapped. 'You're one of the Starks! Everything you do is on the world's stage!'
--
Morgan Stark attacked her classmate two weeks ago and noone knows why. Tanya Montague is a reporter, and probably one of the worst people ever to take the story but whatever.It's called 'getting ahead'.

Summary
Reki and Langa (and the rest of the sk8 gang) meet as counselors at a summer camp in Okinawa.
As he drove past the camp sign and the trees grew dense, rising up on either side of the narrow road, Reki tried to contain his excitement. He kept his foot on the brake, rolling along slowly, and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He couldn’t help but grin, because he was here, he was really here, and it felt like coming home.
Langa was home alone a lot, and he went places alone, but this was the first time he felt truly alone. He knew there were people down the winding road, waiting for him and his new coworkers, but right now, his world felt open and empty and exciting and scary and—
He had been hoping for a way to leave everything behind, the entire past year, and maybe this was it. He tipped his head back to look at the clouds, and felt his backpack straps cutting into his shoulders, and he felt more alive already.- Language:

Summary
Reki Kyan isn’t a genius by any means.
Sure, he’s not dumb. At least he doesn’t think he is. Like, if you were to set a math assignment in front of him, no problem. That’s a breeze. He’ll be done with time to spare and could probably double check his work a solid three times in the time remaining. But if you were to put some English homework in front of him...that’s a different story. He’d sit there and scan the words for a few minutes even though they’re not getting through his skull. Maybe he’d tap his foot and click his pen a little as if it’ll make the time go faster. He’d scribble on the paper a bit, but then end up giving up and trying to do it in the morning by rapidly writing in answers while Langa hovered over his shoulder.
So Reki’s not a genius.
But he’s definitely, like, smart to some degree. Right?
So he’s around 99.91% sure that Langa’s trying to find excuses to touch him.

It's like skating uphill, being with Kaoru.
But fuck if the climb isn't exhilarating.

"You're right, I don't think they make babies in your size," he teases, and squirms when Langa sneaks a pinch to his side.

“Let’s get married,” Kojiro said.
(It was the phenomenon of being so close to something that you lose the details, or knowing something so well and so confidently that you don’t bother to look twice.)

Summary
It is impossibly loud and impossibly quiet, both at once. There is that familiar unease, of feeling monumental things, and being unable to sort them into proper boxes. Reki pauses. The silk fall of Langa’s hair slips through his fingers like water.
He lets out a shaky sigh. Wow. This is just great. His heart is doing a whole circus act. There are flips and aerials and cartwheels. The whole shebang. But what the hell, this—this is no good. Reki is losing his mind. Langa has to be doing this on purpose.
Say it again, Reki thinks despite himself, want barreling through him with dizzying violence. Say it again, and again, and again.
(In which Reki’s love language is touch, and Langa’s is praise, and it goes just as well as you think it would.)
