Summary

Mike spends his free time working at Dustin's coffee shop, Level Up Latte. A visit to the tattoo parlor across the street, Stranger Inks, sets his life in an unexpected trajectory.
This story will deal with mature themes including self mutilation, sexual identities, assault, and other mature situations. The tags and rating will change as content is uploaded. Please read tags and proceed at your own discretion.

Will bent over, adjusting his lamp so it illuminated the tattooed portion of skin. He looked at it for a moment before taking Mike gently by the wrist, startling him, and drew Mike’s arm closer to his face. Mike sat still, watching the other man examine the tattoo. He resisted the urge to jerk away when Will ran a finger lightly over the ink and clicked his tongue. Will moved his fingers from the tattoo to bare skin, pressing down on it, almost testing it. What was he looking for? Mike’s fingers twitched at the contact and he focused on watching the other man’s face.

Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

Summary
“You seem to be doing just fine for yourself.”
Part of Mike means it to be a sharp and defensive quip, but it comes out as sad as it really is. Will’s eyes are glassy and round and unfairly innocent. Big doe eyes pinning Mike in place. Mike can never escape their gaze.
“What else am I supposed to do?”
Wait for me. Mike can’t say that. He’s been selfish enough. He should’ve said it months ago, should’ve sat Will down and told him everything at graduation, but he didn’t. Now he’s too late. He can never grasp the time that slipped away from him.
or: Mike visits Will in college and realizes just how much has changed. Will is moving on. Mike can't do the same. Everything has changed, except that Mike is still in love with him.

Summary
"Ha-ha," Will replies dryly, rolling his eyes. "Thanks for trying to make me feel better. I guess... But it doesn't change the fact that I'm sixteen and haven't kissed anyone yet."
"Don't feel bad, seriously! Kissing is super overrated anyway," Mike waves his hand through the air.
"What?" Will laughs in disbelief.
"It's not bad. It's just... okay," Mike shrugs, rocking his hand. "People just make it out to be like some amazing world-stopping experience that you can't get enough of. When it's nothing like that."
Will huffs, smirking. "I wish I knew what it felt like so I could tell you if you're wrong."
"I could show you…"
"What?"
Mike clears his throat. "So you know what it's like," he speaks carefully, quietly, like any moment everything might fall apart. "Then you can tell me if I'm wrong or not."
Mike can't figure out why he still can't say I love you to El.
Will can't figure out why Mike's acting so strange.
Featuring very repressed, Jealous Mike, a very confused Will, and one night that changes everything.

Summary
"For some inexplicable reason, Kurapika couldn’t bring themself to shove Leorio off of them, even when he began to slump against the wall to the point where he could fit his head in the crook of their shoulder. Why they couldn’t go through with it, they don’t know, but it may have something to do with the odd fluttering in their chest as they felt Leorio puff soft breaths of slumber against their goose-pimpled skin. However, they… suppose there’s no harm in letting the behavior continue, if it’s Leorio. Only Leorio."
-------
Five times Leorio gently touched Kurapika, plus the one time Kurapika initiated.

Summary
I Have Made A Huge Mistake, And Here's How You Can Make It Your Problem, Too
I have made a mistake. Without going too deeply into the details, as I do not want this mistake to go viral or get out among people I know, I can say here: my best friends are getting married in less than three weeks, and their guest list has mistakenly listed me as bringing a plus one.
I do not have a plus one.
This is where you come in, reader: I need to find someone, preferably in their mid-20s to early-30s, to come with me on a week-long wedding vacation and pretend to be my partner. I do not care what you do for a job. I do not care what you look like. We'll dance, we'll drink, we'll probably call an ambulance when all my friends fall down a mountain. It'll be great.
Do not fuck with me on this. Please.

Summary
And then this beautiful man said to Kurapika, “I have two tickets to this incredible New Year’s Eve party at one of those swanky nightclubs in the city. Be my holidate.”
“Be your – what?” Kurapika asked. He sounded like he’d been punched in the throat. He felt like it, too. “You just met me. We’re complete strangers.”
“Yeah, that’s why it’s perfect!” Leorio said eagerly. His eyes sparkled. “We’re total strangers. We’re totally uninterested in a relationship right now. It’ll be totally platonic, chill, no-strings-attached. No expectations.”
--
or: all kurapika wants is for someone to get off his back about being perpetually single. somewhere across town, leorio wants the same thing. After a chance encounter, the two come up with an idea: they will be each other’s no-strings-attached, totally-platonic holidates.

“Melody, good evening,” he greeted. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Good evening!” Melody replied cheerfully. “I received a very interesting call today, and I wanted to get your opinion on it.”
“Oh?” Kurapika asked. He reached for his wine and sipped. “Is this a work call, or a bitch session?” He would not put the wine down for anything short of a house fire, though, and he sipped his drink again as if to prove his point to some sort of invisible audience.
Melody laughed. “That depends on how this conversation goes. But before we go any further: what do you think of weddings?”
