Summary
It’ll be peaceful, he thinks. A warm embrace. A hand squeezing his shoulder and lips pressing to his forehead. A soft whisper in the shell of his ear. It’s okay; you tried. It’s okay. You may rest.

“Can you tell what I’m drawing?” He says.
Henry turns his head to the side, temple resting on his sternum. He can feel a circle, another circle, and a tall arch…

Henry’s sigh is so deep it deflates his entire body. “I haven’t a clue, they somehow double-booked and now I either have to sleep in the bloody foyer or share a room with a complete stranger.”

Summary
There’s a boy Thomas has seen sprawling through New York streets. He’s never in the same place for longer than he needs to be, making him incredibly hard to stumble across. Or stalk, as his sister says he’s doing. He doesn’t think he’s necessarily stalking, just unimaginably intrigued by his existence.
He’s always grinning, for a start. A wide, toothy thing that doesn’t look stupid or weird, but seems to fit the shape of his face perfectly. Half of his hair is always combed back into a bun while the rest lays against the nape of his neck. It’s also white, which Thomas thinks is incredible. The brightest shade of blond imaginable
—
Or;
Thomas needs to learn how to protect himself from his relentless bullies. Who better to ask than the kid who can take on three men and waltz away unscathed? He’s sure the fact he’s the prettiest boy he’s ever seen won’t affect their training in the slightest.

Summary
“Fuck you,” Linus spat, bent over halfway. “Fuck you to hell.”
Captain rolled his right shoulder, then tugged off the coat he always wore. It draped around him and flung out like a cape when he moved or swung himself in a fight. Linus was sure he wore it for looks rather than benefit.
“You know what we need,” Captain said, still not facing him. “We need a break. I suggest you sit on the other end, back to me, and we wait in silence.”
Linus snarled, “wait for what?”
“Wait,” Captain continued, “wait for me to… come up with a plan.”

Summary
“Kinda cliché,” Alex says, looking up at the mural.
“It’s Bea’s favourite piece,” Henry says.
Alex looks at him, “that makes sense.”
They travel through a plethora of shops. Henry picks up a hat, Alex holds a jumper to his chest and twirls until Henry is giggling into his fingers.
“Why do they never have my size?” Alex laments, holding a nice pair of shoes that don’t come in seven and a half. Only seven or eight. Henry doesn’t mean to laugh, he didn’t really think that was something he did. Laugh at people’s expense. But he isn’t doing that. Alex is pouting over a pair of shoes, with wide brown eyes and slumped shoulders, and Henry is laughing at the absurdity of it all.
He never thought that the man across the building cradling a beer to his chest was the type to pout and whine when a shop didn’t carry his size. He never thought he’d find that out. He never thought that stranger from that bar would turn into someone he knows.
“You’re a dick,” Alex says, but he’s grinning and Henry is weak.

Summary
“You’re supposed to be a therapy dog you demon, but now you’re a traitor. Was it the years spent in gran’s presence? I can’t believe you’d take after her knowing full well she’s half the reason I adopted you!”
David barks. Henry gasps. “You’re working together?!” He squawks, placing a hand under his jaw and shaking him (gently). David wriggles and paws at him with shiny eyes. “I should’ve known! The moment you stole my Jaffa cake and I sat at the vet for hours crying my eyes out thinking you were dead! It was all a ruse!”
David escapes his entrapment and catches his hand between his teeth, but it doesn’t hurt and Henry laughs brightly. “You evil little thing. How about I send you back to the pound? I’m sure you won’t like that,” he threatens. David barks and jumps into his lap, paws using his chest as leverage to lap at his face. Henry laughs louder and tips over, holding him around the tummy as he licks and yips excitedly.

Summary
Alex could scream.
Alex might scream.
Alex is going to scream.
“Oh my fucking-“ he sucks air through his teeth, pressing his forehead against the door. It’s fine, he thinks, everything is fine. Absolutely fine.
Holding the key up, he slips it into the lock, ready to twist when the door pulls open anyway, tugging the keys from his grip and landing in a clash on the ground.
He closes his eyes.

Summary
Eli. My boyfriend of half a year, almost seven months. Waiting by the dresser with a shy smile and crossed arms.
I open mine, he matches my grin and crashes into me. Our laughs are muffled into each other’s lips.
“I told you,” he murmurs. I roll my eyes and squeeze his hips.
“Yeah, yeah, come on.”

Summary
The faded splatter reminded her of Wren’s blood. The way it was flung away from her body, as if it wanted to get away. The sight engraved into her retinas no matter how much she willed it away.
Wren would always be there. Wren who was always there. Always waiting by her locker to torment her, always there to one-up her in sports, in class, in buying that damned jacket when the mall reopened earlier that year. Always waiting in the parking lot to smirk and laugh, her popular friends snickering and taking photos of her rundown 1977 pickup.

Summary
“Are you fucked?” Adonis cut him off, “I sincerely couldn’t give less of a rats fucking ass who or what you hang out with, but not only to spend time with a human mortal,” as he said this, he crowded into Vince’s space. Adonis wasn’t the tallest amongst them, but with his sheer attitude alone, it sure felt like it.
“But to tell him who we are? To take him off his planet, to lie and deceive those above us? I could get destroyed just by being near you!”

Summary
“Good morning, honey,” a voice smoother than petals drifted to her ears and finally, her brain caught up.
“June,” she replied, happy and full and groggy. Her hands reached out and found her waist, tugging her close to press their lips together, closed-mouthed and gentle. “Morning, my love.”
June couldn't tire of their routine. Of their careful touches and coaxing kisses. Of Nora murmuring pleas of cuddles and June giving in within seconds, bringing their bodies together like two halves ready to be made whole. Legs intertwined like a woven basket, hands mapping out the space of Nora’s spine and June’s ribs.
