    Summary

    Derek slumps in his chair. After so long, he closes his eyes. A smile reaches his lips. Tears well and pour. His pulse stops in a rhythm. His life is slipping, and the universe floods his eyes. The stars, the earth, all of history, all that will ever be, aliens and starships, occultism and symbols, every language across the known realm; It's too fast to comprehend, but the beauty brings him to breathlessness. The king's screams echo through the chaos.

    Somewhere, out there, right there, right here, Avery cries. Derek knows he's mourning. The hope, the hopelessness, the love, the betrayal, the grief, he willingly feels it all. He looks through the house. Avery's mother is watching the ball drop, His sister and brother bicker over alcohol. Fireworks thunder outside. Derek revels in the celebrations. He won't get another. Avery's sobs are drowned out by the noise below. He extends his oblivion-touched hands, but cannot reach him.

    Summary

    "So he never leaves your dorm—like, everytime you get home, he's literally always there, passed out on the bed. But like, he only goes out at night? And, if I am understanding this correctly, he only eats from the drinks in his fridge, and he likes to stare at the squirrels on campus, but he has some weird beef with dogs."

    Avery's expression blossomed into a smile. He nodded eagerly. "Yeah!"

    Wifies gave him an expectant look, as if there was a certain conclusion that he wanted him to draw.

    "Isn't he great?" Avery replied instead.

    "Bruh," said Wifies.

    Summary

    Avery smiles when he sees someone at the PC. His heart is nodding, beating in agreement, and something about all of this feels like home.

    It's only the back of his head and a quarter of his face, but he knows it's him, like he knows everything else that he does about the world, because that's just how it is. Of course Derek is here, playing Minecraft. Where else? Who else?

    or: Avery has a dream where he cannot find Derek at a house party. Obviously, he sets off to find him. In the real world, Derek is dead, and they never knew each other, but still.

    Summary

    "Yeah," Avery nods, desperate to fish out more of a conversation with Derek (for literally no reason), but not really knowing what to say. It was something about him, or his voice, or something. Really, just, something. He just... really wanted to talk to him. It was strange. Has he always felt this way? Hasn't he always felt this why? Why did he come here again? Avery should say something. He's just the coffee guy. Come on, Avery. Just talk to him, if you want to talk to him. You're thinking about this more than you think about your late assignments, dude. Wake up. Say something!

    or: Avery, Derek, and a chance to meet like arguably normal people.
