    Summary

    Reggie, child of near-divorce, doesn't take this development very well.

    (And Julie steps in to fix everything, as always.)

    Summary

    The next time Alex opens his eyes, the sun is fully up and he can hear music playing somewhere in the house. Corinne Bailey Rae, he thinks; he hums a few bars, quiet enough that Bobby doesn’t stir. Bobby probably has the best sleep schedule of any of them at this age, but the part of Alex that tried not to notice the bags under his Bobby's eyes back at their first apartment is still loath to wake him up on a weekend.

    But he’s also not keen to make his husband wake up alone.

    A Saturday morning at Juke and Rynn's place.

    Summary

    Reggie has told Flynn more about the therapy thing than anyone else, except maybe Ray – how “things are coming up,” as he puts it, that he wasn’t expecting. He’s been vague when she’s asked for more details but the last time she was over –
     
    The last time she was over, she kissed him in the hallway and he leaned into the wall, thoughtless and easy, but the second his back touched plaster his eyes went wide and he brought his hands up in front of his face and he couldn’t – wouldn’t? – explain to her what was wrong afterward, so.

    Yeah. Flynn’s not fed up. She’s worried.

    Repressed memories are a bitch.

    Summary

    “I changed my mind, boss,” Luke grouses, glaring at Flynn. “I’ll be better off without her.”

    “No you wooon’t,” Flynn coos, making herself comfortable. “You little weirdo.” She ruffles the front of Luke’s hair. Luke sticks his tongue out at her. “Oh, real mature, Julie’s Boyfriend.”

    Flynn and Luke bond, not that they'd ever admit it.

    Summary

    “Are you free tonight?" Flynn asks. “One of my clubs is having a thing and I have to bake something for it, but I don’t feel like doing it alone and Julie’s busy.”

    “Oh,” Reggie says. “Do you want to come over and use the kitchen here? The oven is still broken.”

    “Why would I want to use the oven if it’s broken?” Flynn asks. Reggie doesn’t say anything but she can fill in his shrug. “No, we’re just gonna sneak into the dorms with the good kitchen.”

    Flynn and Reggie bake some cupcakes and enjoy some floor time.

    Summary

    Julie's dad is hardly a puritanical dictator, but a few weeks after the proverbial dam between her and Luke was broken, he’d stood in front of her with his arms crossed and told her with an expression that was 20% apologetic and 80% unyielding that she and her boyfriend would not be “getting up to anything” in his house.

    Julie had wisely refrained from mentioning that it was too late for that and humbly agreed.

    Luke's best friends are enablers and Julie enjoys the benefits.

    Summary

    “Ay, lindo, estás enfermo?” There’s suddenly a hand on his arm, steadying him, even though Ray was definitely standing a good twenty feet away a second ago. “Come inside and sit down before you faint.”

    Bobby’s head doesn’t stop spinning until he’s sitting on the Molinas’ living room couch with a blanket and a mug of tea. He tightens his grip on it in search of warmth, a little unsure of how he got here. That seems to be a trend with the Molina family. Bobby never quite knows where he stands until he’s sitting down.

    Ray crouches down in front of him, spreading a warm hand across his forehead. “You do feel warm,” he murmurs thoughtfully. “How long have you been sick?”

    Summary

    Luke responds to napping in her room like Julie had hoped he would, some of his franticness dropping as soon as he’s comfy and horizontal in the dark, but he’s still so restless. She takes his wrist again and strokes her thumb over his quick, anxious pulse, watching his eyes dart around. He’s biting his lip to keep from talking, and she doesn’t want him to stress himself out but she doesn’t want him silencing himself either.

    She reaches up and presses her thumb against Luke’s bottom lip, intending to pull it out from between his teeth, and the pad of her finger catches on warm, chapped skin.

    Julie has a boyfriend now. She acts on some impulses.

    Summary

    None of them know why Luke gets like this sometimes—muted and limp, all of his usual bouncy energy nowhere to be found, unable to work or eat or even get out of bed—but the last thing any of them would do is make him feel bad about it. They’ve all had bad days, all the more frequent in the years since they ran away from home.

    “Staying home today?” Luke checks, voice muffled by the pillow.

    “Yep.” Bobby hugs him a little tighter. “We’re staying home.”

    Summary

    “Can I get you anything else?” Her waiter bounces on the balls of his feet any time he’s standing still, she’s noticed. It should be annoying, but he got her complicated pancake order right on the first try without needing to write it down, so Julie’s more impressed than anything. “Coffee, or…? I make a mean milkshake if you’re into that kinda thing.”

    Julie hides a smile behind her hand. “I’m okay, thanks,” she says, handing over her empty plate. “Just the check? I’m not getting anywhere with this anyway—” She gestures with her songwriting journal. “So I might as well get out of your hair.”

    “No rush.” With her reading glasses on, Julie can’t read his nametag while he’s bouncing like that. Something with an L, she thinks. He balances her plate on one arm but doesn’t head back to the kitchen. “Can I ask what’s giving you trouble?”

    Summary

    Reggie nudges the faucet off and fumbles to pick up the call with his soapy hands, getting water everywhere and nearly dropping the phone in the sink before managing to answer. “Yellow?”

    “Hey, man,” Luke says, and wow, that is a lot of sheepishness packed into two words. “Can you come pick me up? I did it again.”

    Luke and Reggie vs. the dark forces of lactic acid.

    Summary

    From behind him, Alex can hear Luke snoring softly, and sometimes Reggie talks in his sleep, and Bobby’s at what sounds like the end of a coughing fit, but he’s always coughing. It must still be very late at night, or very early in the morning.

    Alex is about to sink back into sleep when Bobby starts up again. It’s wet and deep, like it’s tearing his chest apart on its way up to his throat, and it’s continuous. Bobby’s always coughing, but not usually like this.

    Summary

    Alex stirs out of sleep as soon as the bed creaks.

    He breathes a little sharply, his fingers curling tighter around the edges of his pillow. But he doesn’t roll over off his stomach, or sit up, or open his eyes. He just stays still and listens.

    He’s very good at listening to people move around his room while he’s supposed to be asleep.

    But it’s just Bobby, getting ready for work like he does every morning, always too early and on too little sleep. He’s moving more slowly than usual today, punctuating every few seconds of early morning silence with sniffles and stifled coughs. Alex waits, and listens, and only when Bobby lets out a muffled sneeze, stumbles into the pile of suitcases he and Reggie use as a nightstand, and mutters a raspy curse does Alex sigh into his pillow and push himself up.

    “Hey,” he says, gruff but quiet, even though Luke and Reggie can sleep through a hurricane. “Feeling okay?”

    Summary

    Alex has been to the worksite before, when they’ve dropped Bobby off for work on days one of the others has needed the car, but he’s never been inside. When he tells the security guard at the gate that he’s here for Robert Shaw, the guard asks, “And you are his…?”

    In his anxiety and nerves, Alex falters. “Housemate,” he answers, after an awkward delay. “He’s sick, I’m here to take him home.”

    Summary

    “Got everything?” Bobby asks, glancing around the dark car at each of his passengers. He’s itching to get away from here but he needs to check. “Social Security cards? Phone chargers?”

    Luke and Reggie nod in the affirmative. Alex pats the fanny pack slung over his chest.

    Reggie meets Bobby’s eyes, tilts his head to the side. “Let’s get outta this town.”

    Alex groans. “Oh, ten different songs just got stuck in my head. Bobby, hit the gas.”

    Summary

    Bobby’s not usually a worst-case scenarios type of person, but he has to admit he’s starting to get a little worried. Reggie never misses school. Reggie loves school. Reggie’s a fucking weirdo like that. And with the way things have been at Reggie’s house lately—not nearly as bad as they are at Alex’s house, but not great—the idea of Reggie being home, a place he hates to be, instead of here, a place he loves to be, is just… disconcerting, to say the least. Bobby spends the better part of the morning thinking about what Reggie might be doing, and where Reggie might be, and if Reggie’s okay, and very little time paying attention to his classes, which he’s sure will come back to bite him at some point, but for the moment, he can’t quite bring himself to care.

    Finally, just as they’re sitting down for lunch, Bobby’s phone buzzes, and he scrambles to pull it out of his pocket. “It’s Reggie!”

    “What’s it say?” Alex demands immediately.

    “How come he texted you back and not us?” Luke grumbles.

    Bobby ignores both of them, all his focus trained on his phone, where Reggie’s message reads: sick :(

    Summary

    If there’s one thing you should know about Alex, it’s that he’d do anything for his friends. And apparently anything includes agreeing to pretend to date his long-time crush and best friend, Willie. It’s probably the worst decision he’s ever made (or maybe it’s the best.)

    Summary

    Alex hasn’t been on a real vacation in years, and with his best friends by his side, he couldn’t be more excited to spend a long weekend on the beach in Del Mar. However, there’s one slight problem: his long-time crush, Willie, is coming along too, and he has no clue how he’s going to keep it together for the whole weekend. All his friends have been nudging him to confess his feelings, but Alex doesn’t even know if Willie feels the same way. After spending the whole weekend pining over his crush, Alex finally decides that it’s time to come clean, no matter the outcome.
