    Summary

    “Sometimes, I can't tell if you have anything in your head besides Mizi and music.”

    Burying the twinge of guilty conscience beneath his typical bad attitude, Till sneered. “Well, how is Ivan any different? He has no room for anything else in his brain besides pissing people off and the piano he loves so much.”

    Hyuna’s action of drumming her fingers on the table froze, raising her gaze to stare at him in dumbfounded silence.

    “What?”
    Till shifted side-to-side, uncomfortable with her reaction. Did he say something wrong?
    “Why are you looking at me like that?”

    “You think Ivan loves... the piano?

    ———

    At the Anakt Performing Arts Academy, Sua and Mizi are classmates in their third year and final year, while Ivan and Till are a grade below them.

    Yet, between school gossip, band gigs, a distaste for Shakespeare, a shitty father and an absent one, bouquets, KakaoTalk, sneaking out to smoke cigarettes, and a whole lot of pining, they might just end up falling in love, too.

    Written for IvanTill Week 2024, one chapter for each day. (With some Mizisua. As a treat.)

    Summary

    Something throbs under Till’s thumb. A beat passes. It does it again. Till looks down, confused, and realizes that his hand is gripping Ivan’s wrist, nails digging into the pale skin, his thumb jabbed right into the pulse point.

    Ivan’s heart beats slowly. Ivan breathes slowly. Ivan blinks slowly, his giant eyes tilted up. When they make eye contact, Ivan’s pulse skips a beat. The only thought running through Till’s head is: huh?

    “Hello,” Ivan says. “You went somewhere.”

    “Uh,” Till manages. Ivan’s pulse thrums under his fingers. Why is it so soothing? Every beat of Ivan’s heart lifts a bit of the weight off Till’s chest. Is that normal?

    (or: somewhere along the way, Ivan and Till "fall in love," or something like that. This changes nothing that matters, but they end up okay.)

    Summary

    “That’s how you and Mizi are,” he tacked on because, well, Mizi and Sua were perhaps his prime example of a happy, healthy couple.

    “Thank you,” Sua said gratefully, momentarily distracted by the mention of her relationship.

    Till smiled. “You’re welcome,”

    “It’s also how you and Ivan are,” Till’s smile dropped, immediately.

    A few seconds pass in silence. Sua, blankly staring at Till, and Till, blankly staring at Sua.

    There is a ringing in Till’s ears as, in the next second, his brain cycles through memories of the past year and all the years before that, and affirms Sua’s words.

    “Fuck,” Till said eloquently.

    There’s only so many times Till can be asked if he’s dating Ivan before he—well, asks himself if he’s dating Ivan.
