    Summary

    It has been three weeks and two nights since they first spoke, if one could call whatever that was a conversation. Two weeks and six days since they first exchanged punches.
    About twelve minutes and fifty-seven seconds since they undressed down to nothing and surrendered to the lukewarm water.
    There is only one pair of eyes boring holes into him now.

    id est - musings on inhibition, rumination; melancholy and loathing and other things that love company.

    Summary

    Your freak,” Luka begins, as Till’s face reddens at the realisation of his slip-up, “Is right there, in the sink you keep glaring daggers into,”

    “Hah,” Till deadpans, “That’s funny. So funny. Wow, Ivan, you got me. You’re so funny. Quit modelling, pursue a stand-up career,” He fake laughs extra hard for emphasis.

    The room stays silent. The child sneezes. It’s fucking adorable.

    Ivan inexplicably turns into a five-year-old. Till deals with this better than he deals with his feelings for the child's fully grown counterpart.

    Summary

    "Are you ill?" Ivan says instead of Mizi switched pillows with Sua this morning, Till's cheek nestled on his shoulder. It must be grave. Life-threatening, even.

    "Are you sick?" Till answers without looking, still sketching, sharp, precise lines. Far be it for Ivan to question the genius artist, creative re-interpretations were never his strongsuit, but even Ivan knows Mizi's glasses are not triangular. "You're the one who got warm all over."

    Till is being... unusually clingy. For Ivan, it's a problem.

    Summary

    ‘Tiiiiiiiill,’ Ivan sends, and Till already knows he’s fucked. ‘I get a free day next week!! Let’s meet up!’ he says, then forwards a pathetic gif of a puppy with the wettest eyes ever looking up at Till’s perplexed stare.

    This is a trick. Till should say no. Till should acknowledge that he’s been acting really weird about his best friend lately and that he has to get normal before they see each other again. Till should tell Ivan to spend his once-in-a-blue-moon free day relaxing at a spa—a spa? Till frowns. People would get so fucking weird about that. He should go somewhere else where clothes are involved. Skiing sounds better—and not slouching at Till’s ass dorm. Till should get a grip.

    ‘Please? :((’

    Goddammit.

    Five times Till loses his mind over Ivan's waist, and one time he does something about it.

    Summary

    Initially, your ghost may still be dressed in the well-ironed suit from the day of their burial, with a few specks of dirt here and there. You might have imagined him dressed like this in a different setting. A dance or a wedding. You placing his hand in someone else's, giving him away. Giving him away, you say, as if he were ever yours. Still, you would have liked to do your part, telling the story about the flower crowns, smiling in all the right places. He, soft-eyed in the crowd, hair parted to the side. Looking every bit like someone's handsome, loving son.

    In the end, when you gave him away, he still looked as handsome. Perhaps it is a good thing that best man speeches can be made into eulogies with only a few edits.

    (Or: There is a ghost at Ivan's doorstep, and it has a familiar face.)
