    Summary

    Kai suddenly grabs his bag and phone, leaving his drink on the table, as he quickly leaves out the back door, pulling up Jay’s contact and calling him back. He walks outside, moving past a handful of dumpsters and arrives at a more isolated spot, usually where he’d go to smoke.

    He waits rather impatiently, internally cursing himself each second that Jay doesn’t pick up. This is stupid, he thinks, but waits nonetheless.
     

    Jay answers.


    or: after zane's death, kai accidentally saves jay's life.

    Summary

    “Kai,” Jay says, voice thin, unfamiliar.

    Kai just hums again, unbothered. He truly does seem so unbothered, but not numb in the way the agents at the Administration were beaten into. He's like the running air of the sweet east coast that Jay swallowed greedily upon his first escape from the stuffy desks of the Administration. He was lucky, he knew, to be a manager. He had a little more free time and his leash was longer, and his mandated area of housing was bigger than the dormitories for interns. He was lucky, he knew, but he didn't feel like he was.

    And the words he says next, he’ll blame on exhaustion, on tiredness, on isolation and the hunger that beats at him and crawls up his windpipe. “Am I too far gone?”

    In which Kai and Jay have a haircutting session.

    Summary

    The lights flashed from red to green to yellow to blue. The band was approaching the final chorus. Rapunzel lifted a hand as the song neared its crescendo, hyping up the crowd, voice solidifying like gathered honey as she sang the powerful bridge one last time. The band rose to meet her, and together they built up the note into something incredible and mystical that Astrid felt goosebumps rise on her arms; an awed tingle down her spine.

    Around her, the audience whooped and screamed. Spellbound.

    This is it, she thought, her eyes never leaving the stage. This is it.

    (or: in which Astrid discovered her new favorite band.)

    Summary

    “I said,” Merlin enunciates, rolling his eyes. He gets a knee over Arthur’s thigh, pressing it into the mattress and fixing the perch of his glasses. “What’s wrong with my glasses?”

    Arthur gapes at him, before dropping onto his pillow with a sigh as he stares up at the ceiling. What has this night come to? He was supposed to go over his report and then sleep. And then came Merlin, complaining about the fucking water pressure, dripping wet and smelling like that with his low slung pyjamas and utter lack of respect for Arthur’s sanity, taking over his mind and night. Arthur can’t have one second of peace.

    .

    Arthur notices Merlin smells nice. He then can’t stop noticing and nearly loses his mind about it.

    Summary

    (might change the name when I think of something better)

    “Are you okay?” Hirose whispered, speaking low enough so only Nakamura could hear.

    ‘No,’ was his first thought, breathless. In any moment, his legs would give out and he’d fall into a pathetic heap in front of the love of his life.

    Wait- yes! He’s more than okay, this is a chance of a lifetime! His future bloodline would be told of this life-changing event, a sacred moment of history meant to be shared with all.

    Or perhaps it will be a story of caution. But instead of Icarus, it’s about a socially awkward boy dying from flying too close to gay teenager heaven. Closeting too close to the sun, if you will (literally and figuratively.)

    or

    Nakamura goes to a party for the first time in his life, and surprisingly enjoys himself. Alot.
