    Summary

    “What did you mean?” Amagai changes his question suddenly, turning to a different subject before Ryo can adjust. “When you said you wanted to enjoy that view together? That day?”

    Ryo stops, mouth dry as he pauses to register the question.

    Amagai continues anyway, his gentle grip gone as he pushes his thumbnail into the seam of his scar, as though trying to dig through the months-since healed wound. It’s worse that he seems entirely unconscious of his movements as he does so. As though it’s wired into him to hurt Ryo.

    “I know you said I didn’t remember,” Amagai says, “But I want to. Tell me.”

    Amagai always pushes Ryo to the edge, but he still can't help but to run back every single time. This instance escalates dramatically, and Ryo doesn't think he can force himself to his feet anymore.

    Summary

    It's Matteo's first year of college, but he'd rather smoke weed in his dorm room all day than drag himself to class. He tries to sign up for what he thinks will be an easy arts elective and ends in a serious acting workshop. Here he sees the Boy he's been admiring from afar all over campus: David, who's directing the end-of-quarter production of Hamlet.

    David thinks Matteo's a slacker who's gonna ruin the production he's worked so hard on. Matteo thinks David's just another pretentious artist-wannabe who thinks he's better than him.

    And yet somehow, their faces keep ending up at such a kissable distance.

    (Or, a hate-to-love College AU in which there's not so much "hate" as misunderstanding, presumption, and a whole lot of sexual tension).

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.
