    Summary

    Joe shrugs. “I dunno, there just isn’t anyone I’d want to build my life around like that.”

    “Well, sure,” Web says, rolling his eyes, “because you seem to find the most vapid guys imaginable. Maybe if you tried finding guys who weren’t like that-”

    “I mean, you’re one to talk!” Joe exclaims. “Brian knew all about literature but he didn’t know shit about you. What’s the point of dating someone with the same interests as you if they’re not actually interested in you?” Joe throws his hands out, emphatic. This is always the thing about Web’s boyfriends. It’s like they tick all these boxes, and Web ticks all these boxes for them, but they don’t really see him.

    It seems to sink in for Web. After a minute he says, “Well, he was actually pretty good in bed.”

    “Sure he was.” Joe’s skeptical. A guy can surprise you, maybe, but guys like Brian rarely do. Joe’s pretty sure no guy in a sweater vest has ever really rocked his world. “I know you get laid. I mean, I know you getting laid doesn’t actually make you any less insufferable.”

    Web and Joe have been part of the same friend group since freshman year of college 10 years ago. This year, something between them is shifting.

    Summary

    “I have a favour to ask,” Joe asks, and it feels the same as it did earlier when he had to thank Toye for telling him he could smell heat on him. He wants to grit his teeth against it, he resents it so much.

    “Okay…” Web says after a second, when Joe doesn’t continue.

    Joe sighs, rubs a hand over his face. He almost wishes he’d had Winters ask for him, but he’s not a coward. “I’m about to go into heat. I’m on suppressants, but I guess they’re not fucking working right. Winters said I could pick a partner.” There. That’s the pertinent information; Web can make an informed choice.

    Web just blinks at him for a second, and Joe wonders if he’s actually going to have to fucking ask, and then Web shrugs. “Okay,” he says. “Now?”

    Summary

    “You’re a good story teller, you know.”

    Buck can feel the heat of a blush burning against his skin. He shrugs, shoulders brushing his ears. Their bodies bracketed the center of the bed in an identical curvature, breaths perfectly out of sync. Buck inhaling John’s exhale, sighs out oxygen for him.

    “So’d those kids invite you back for the next game?”

    Buck smiles, and wonders again at the steadfast belief John held that Buck was just as likable and good as himself. “Nah.”

    “I would have.” John says softly, “I’d teach you how to catch that baseball Buck.”
