    Summary

    He peers down the street and sees a post office, a couple of small shops, and a pub. The difference between the city where he has an apartment and this village is stark.

    Sam comes out of the shop nearly ten minutes later with a cardboard travel container of drinks. He laughs at something someone inside says and IV wishes – gut-wrenchingly – that he had anything left in him that could feel the way Sam looks right now. He feels like a husk of a person, and he wants – he wants that.

    A man follows Sam to the threshold of the entrance and says something to Sam that IV can’t quite make out as he opens the car door. He keeps the shop door open with a cocked hip, and IV sits up to get a better look at him.

    IV, burned out from his corporate job, visits his friends for the summer in the idyllic village where they live. He's expecting to get his head put on straight, not that he'll find love in the last place he expects it.

    Summary

    "Andrew’s arm slides around Neil’s waist, slow enough that Neil could stop him if he wanted to. He doesn’t. He lets Andrew pull him in against his chest, one arm tight around him, solid and unyielding. Protective, though against what, Neil isn’t sure.

    The heat of Andrew’s body sinks into him almost immediately, thawing some of the chill lodged deep in his bones. Neil hadn’t realized just how cold he was until now. He curls closer without thinking about it.

    Andrew’s hand spreads flat against his side, slipping under his shirt carefully. “You’re freezing,” he mutters after a minute.

    “It’s just cold in here.” Neil closes his eyes and adds, “But you’re warm.”

    Andrew makes a quiet, irritated sound at that, but he doesn’t let go. Neil lets himself sink into the warmth instead of thinking about the blood or the pain or the way his body feels increasingly foreign to him. He focuses on Andrew’s heartbeat beneath his cheek. The steady rise and fall of his breathing. Eventually, Andrew’s grip tightens almost imperceptibly around him, like he’s afraid Neil might disappear if he loosens it too much."

    OR

    Neil isn't feeling well, but he's fine. Totally fine. Nothing to worry about here!

    Summary

    'At first, he doesn’t register what Andrew’s looking at - just the constant motion of Eden’s swallowing people whole. Then he sees them. Jean and Kevin, off to the side, not quite dancing, not quite still either.

    “Huh,” Neil breathes.

    Andrew’s expression shifts, tightening in what looks like annoyance. “They’re getting close,” he says, devoid of any emotion Neil could name.

    Neil nods slowly, eyes still on the pair. He’s definitely going to have to tease Jean about his crush when they get home. He leans back in his chair, crossing his arms loosely. “I’ll ask Jean about it later.”

    Andrew’s gaze snaps back to him. There’s a faint crease between his brows now. “You don’t seem bothered by it,” he points out.

    Neil frowns. “I’m not,” he says honestly.

    There’s a beat of silence, and Neil wonders if he’s said the wrong thing. Andrew’s expression smooths into something unreadable, but not before Neil catches the way his jaw clenches. His gaze flicks back to Jean and Kevin one more time, then returns to Neil. “Right,” Andrew says.'

    OR

    Andrew is under the impression Neil and Jean are still dating. Neil, naturally, does not realize this.

    Summary

    "I'm fine with it," Andrew says, "If you ever want to pretend again."

    "Like..." Neil starts off unsurely, a frown on his lips. He gestures awkwardly between them. "Us? Being..."

    Andrew gives him a lazy shrug, trying to downplay the whole motion. Together. Dating. Fucking. Whatever the term, nothing quite seems to fit right — but that's because none of them are things that Andrew can truly have.

    After an injury forces Neil to retire from his Olympic track-star career, Andrew brings Neil to the sleepy town of Palmetto to try and piece his life back together.

    Of course, he catches everyone's interest, even though he's trying his hardest to avoid attention. And it seems Andrew's on a streak of terrible, terrible ideas when it comes to Neil Josten.
