    Summary

    Karl is finding it more and more difficult to hide his feelings for his best friend, Sapnap. He's willing to risk it all for his chance at love, but does he really understanding just how much he's risking?

    ~

    "I like being able to see your face, you should wear your hair up more often." Sapnap eventually responded, the loud sound of his keys clacking in the background.

    Karl's heart was pounding so loudly he could hear it through his ears, muffling the loud noises coming from Sapnap's keyboard. He felt like he couldn't process this information, how Sapnap said this so calmly, like he had no inhibitions holding him back. Why couldn't Karl say things like that back to him? He was dumbfounded on how to respond. Should he make light of the situation, calling Sapnap a simp once more? Should he confess all of his feelings to his best friend right now, while he's still receptive?

    "You.." Karl started, unable to finish his thought.

    "I what?" Sapnap questioned plainly, his keys continued to clack rhythmically.

    "Can't just say that sort of thing to me." Karl eventually let out. He was prepared for another uncomfortably long pause. He even debated on hanging up right then to avoid it.

    Summary

    Then, they’re looking at each other, eyes and nose and face. Then, Sapnap looks at Karl’s lips, thinks of how it would feel like to run a finger through the edges of it, to move closer until he feels his breath against his skin, to kiss him until he’s breathless.

    “I should’ve,” Karl smiles. “I like your eyes too. They make me feel safe.”

    He swallows, raises his eyebrows out of instinct. “They do?”

    "Yeah,” he whispers. “You make me feel safe.”

    Or, Sapnap takes a weekend trip to North Carolina to visit Karl. Things don't exactly turn out the way they're supposed to.

    Summary

    “One pumpkin spice latte with oat milk, please,” a smooth voice said.
    “What’s the name for that?” said Grian, flicking his eyes up to look at the customer.
    He had dark brown hair and tanned skin, and a nose that had clearly been broken more than once. He leant slightly to the side on a long metal cane and wore a purple tee and black jeans. He looked shockingly confident for someone ordering a pumpkin drink, Grian thought.
    “The name is Scar,” he said.

    or!

    Grian just wants to get through life at his coffee job and earn enough for him and his roomate, Mumbo, to survive. But when he decides to help the villain he finds injured on his way back from work, everything changes.

    Summary

    The shimmering antlers sit delicately on the pedestal, and he’s tempted to reach out and touch them, but something keeps his hands by his sides, remaining impassive as he studies the intricate metalwork. It looks as though it’s been ripped straight from a storybook and - if the tale he just read on the lectern, and the one from his early childhood, is to be believed - it pretty much is.

    --- --- ---

    Or, Alinar's antlers have more of an effect on Scott than he anticipated.
