Summary
“Look, it’s not because I don’t,” Cassie breaks the silence, then shakes her head and looks away, a quiet noise of disbelief leaving her, “We just can’t. Okay?”
Another nod. Victoria’s mouth is incredibly dry.
“But..you want to?”
McKay lets her head hang. “We can’t. I can’t.”
“Because of your ex?” Victoria probes. Everything inside her is screaming at her to stop. She doesn’t know why she can’t. She doesn’t know why she can’t just shut up. But McKay is…right here and her messy bangs and her heavy eyes and her wet mouth just -
“Because I wanna be good,” McKay says simply.
Javadi is a nervous wreck and McKay struggles with self-restraint. Until she doesn't.

Summary
“Hey sexy,” Enjin greets.
Gris pulls a shirt from the dryer, shakes it once and lays it in the basket tucked under his arm.
“No.”
Enjin pouts as he leans against the doorway, his shoulders spanning most of the frame.
“You don’t even know what I’m going to ask.”
“And I don’t need to know,” Gris says patiently, smiling as Enjin further smooshes his lips in a pout. “It’s the first Friday of the month, and you want me to race Sheila. No.”

Summary
He's gotten better, since the train incident. If Ryan has gotten better about minding how his actions affect other people—and he has—Min has gotten better at taking chances and standing out. He wouldn't have dropped out of uni to live out of the back of a near rusted-out 1969 Ford Econoline if he wasn't willing to follow his heart, at least a little.
But it's still a gradual process. Growing up always is.
He has limits.

Summary
A caving pressure against his stomach made him frown, striking through the haze that had rolled in around him. On a whim, Noriaki glanced down to see if he had been leaning against the edge of his desk.
He hadn’t been. He was still sitting straight in his chair, hands placed neatly on top of the desk and his feet flat on the floor as his intestines spilled out onto the tops of his shoes.
-
Not quite alive and not quite dead, Noriaki doesn't know what he is anymore.

“Hey, Leo,” When Pietro spoke to him, it was like he was the only person in the world. Leorio wanted to live in that feeling. “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Happy, was his first thought. With you, a close second. Neither of those are real answers, trailing behind.
Or: Leorio remembers the past, worries about the present, and fantasizes about a possible future.

“Kurapika,” he observably gasps, standing, mouth agape.
