    Summary

    Something is wrong. Stan waits for him to tell him. Like he always does. Big and fast and explosive with his words. Stan waits and waits and waits, and it never comes. 

    Richie can’t keep a secret. 

    It’s big. It must be. Something big enough that he’s keeping it from Stan. Stan is a bit annoyed by the secrecy of it all. Richie is a blabbermouth, but the one time Stan is actually curious, the boy does not speak on it. Not even to him—his best friend. 

    Stan has a few guesses. A suspicion he can’t voice out loud. An idea of what could be happening with Richie. But if he’s wrong—it’s a type of hurt Richie won’t be able to come back from because it came from Stan. 

    Richie has a crush. 

    On one of them. 

    ---or---

    Stanley Uris is afraid of losing his friends--but mostly he's afraid of losing Richie.

    Summary

    “Achilles, you know I love you entirely,” I say. “You know nothing could ever, in all the world, change the depth of my feelings for you.”

    I hear the huff of his breath, the beginnings of relief. Something in his face cracks, goes soft, and I know in a moment he will step forward and kiss me, and it will be so much harder to say the next thing once that has happened.

    And so I shift back, take a step away from him, and force the next words out, even though to shatter his hopeful expectations will bring me more pain than even the thought of Briseis in Agamemnon’s hands— “but I cannot stay while you persist in this.”

    --

    Patroclus makes a different choice, and it changes everything.

    Summary

    The sign for the event looks significantly different than the invitation.

    “A Valentine’s dance?” Eddie squeaks at him, grinding his rolly suitcase to a halt.

    Sure enough, a loopy red cursive “after-auction Valentine’s Day dance” accompanies the ridiculous imagery.

    Richie wants to laugh - or maybe cry - it’s hard to tell the difference with Eddie staring at him like he personally assigned the theme and bought the tacky heart-shaped balloons to pile into the lobby.

    “I didn’t… know,” is all Richie can come up with.

    Summary

    Through the office rumor mill Richie learns that Eddie has a mortgage on a house he doesn't live in, a frequently used membership in the gym on the fourth floor, and an ongoing divorce that keeps him tightly glued to his cell phone, constantly whispering, "We said we'd only talk via the mediator. No, Myra, only via the mediator," through gritted teeth, pacing in his office whenever Richie happens to pass by after his lunch break.

    Richie has a Playstation 3 that only works when leaned slightly to the side, propped up with a broken mug he made taking a drunken pottery class with Bev. So they're on slightly different life paths.
