Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
“I love you,” Mike mumbles sleepily into his hair, wriggling closer. His arm winds across Will’s stomach, and Will feels the ghost of a kiss being pressed to the junction of his shoulder and neck.
Will blinks his eyes open, warmth flooding the length of his body. He shifts, twisting around to peer up at Mike, squinting. “You- what?” he murmurs, lifting an eyebrow, and Mike jolts up, peeking over his shoulder sheepishly.
“Oh,” he says, blushing as Will nudges his way to roll over onto his back, Mike hovering over him. “Sorry, I thought you were asleep.”
Will stares up at him. “You were gonna say you loved me for the first time while I was asleep?”
Mike lets out an undignified squeak, and drops his head down onto Will’s shoulder. “No.”
A series of 'I love you's, both spoken and unspoken.

Summary
“I’ll get an iced frappuccino to go,” the guy decides. “The caramel cookie one, with extra whipped cream. Hey, can you put those little chocolate ribbons on it? I got a buddy, he says they’re to die for. And while you’re at it, add a couple pumps of caramel syrup. How many do you think is good? Five? Yeah, do five. And a few pumps of that cinnamon syrup, too.”
Neil’s generally pretty good at not reacting to what customers order, but he must’ve let something slip through, because the guy raises his hands defensively and quickly adds:
“Hey, cut me some slack, man. I’m trying to quit amphetamines.”

Summary
Quark has a competition going to see who can snag the most romantic-looking picture of Garak and Bashir together. It’s so popular that practically everyone on DS9 is getting in on the action. Bashir finds out, and convinces Garak to help him take the winning photo – cue fake-relationship flirtation to get in the mood, a late-night tailor-shop rendezvous to pick the right outfits, then the staging of a seductive, intimate moment in a quiet hallway... only to wonder if the relationship they’re portraying in their picture is exactly what they want in reality. Or even what they already have.

Summary
While babysitting little Molly O’Brien, Garak and Julian try their hands at using crayons and coloured pencils to draw each other. Garak’s creative talents know no bounds. Julian’s... not so much.
⋆
“Forgive me, but,” Garak tried, “what is this intended to be? This red mark, here.”
“Oh,” Julian said, “I added that so it was obvious I meant to show you in a good light, and all that. Affectionately.”
“I see.” Garak pondered the mark again. It looked like two conjoined circles shaped towards a V at the bottom. “H... How, precisely, does it show that? Is it a pictorial symbol of some kind?”
Molly let out a small huff. “It’s a heart, Uncle Garak. It means Uncle Julian loves you.”

“So, why haven't you settled down with some lucky lady yet?” the interviewer asks.
Maybe it's the blinding set-lights, or the fact that he hasn't slept in thirty-five hours. But for some reason Kirk blurts, “Honestly, they all end up getting jealous of Spock.”- Language:

Summary
Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?
But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.
(Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

Summary
“Oh shit,” he says, eyes wide. And then, “oh fuck,” as he’s scooting backwards as quick as he can, “sorry, sorry, I’m sorry,” because what else can you say when you realize, oh, that’s not just a version of your friend that your brain conjured up, that’s your actual friend, the anthropomorphic personification of dreams, in your actual dream. The dream where you’re naked and waiting for him to come be naked with you.
