    Summary

    If fate has decreed that Lorenz and Claude are to be rivals for life, then Claude should at least have the decency to know how to waltz, or at least Lorenz believes so. The only way to ensure that their competition remain fair is to help the other catch up with his own dance moves.

    Summary

    Klavier is gone when Apollo gets back to their room, presumably getting ready for bed himself. Apollo leaves the light on for him and climbs into the lower bunk, facing the wall, tucking himself in with one of the threadbare, train-issued blankets. Except it’s not a threadbare, train-issued blanket.

    Because it’s Klavier’s, and it smells like him, and it’s all warm and cozy, and Apollo is absolutely doing this to himself. But, well. Klavier had to put down this blanket for a reason. Knowing what they were going to do. So it’s fine. Really. It is.

    Klavier shuts the door softly when he gets back into the room. A second later, he’s flicked off the lights. He bumps into maybe everything on his way to the bed. Apollo would laugh if his heart wasn’t pounding so furiously.

    Klavier’s weight settles on the side of the bed. “Is this still okay?”

    Apollo shifts himself closer to the cabin wall. Klavier climbs into bed beside him, back settling up against Apollo’s.

    He’s warm. Apollo knew he would be.

    Or: a 52-hour journey on a sleeper train, a small, shared room, and the ever-closing distance between them.

    Summary

    “We’re calling ‘cause I don’t believe you’re dating Apollo,” Athena chimes, because of course she does. “He’s telling me he’s got all these big plans with his boyfriend that mean he can’t come out drinking with me, and, well, forgive me if Apollo doesn’t seem enough of a catch for that—”

    Klavier is silent. There’s not even background noise from his end of the call. Take the fucking hint, Apollo thinks hysterically. Then Klavier laughs under his breath, and Apollo's fucked, he’s absolutely fucked—“Ach, you let the cat out of the bag so soon, schatzi?”

    Or: Klavier's a good friend. Good enough that he'll fake-date Apollo to protect him from Athena's wrath, even.

    Summary

    Apollo doesn’t have many people to talk with about his boy troubles (see: his conflicted feelings turned massive crush on Klavier) without getting made fun of, so he visits an online forum to seek some advice anonymously. A certain ex-con prosecutor stumbles upon the post, figures out who’s behind it quickly, and decides for his own personal entertainment and advantage in a bet against Athena to get Klavier and Apollo to stop dancing around each other. Not because they’re actually friends or anything. No, no.

    That would be ridiculous.
