    Summary

    Revenge is a dish best served cold.

    But did it fix anything at all? Was He Xuan satisfied? Well, yes, of course. He avenged his family, his destiny that was forcefully taken away from him. So then what was this bitter taste on his tongue? Why couldn't he discard the dead weight on his shoulder on some roadside and let it fend for himself?

    Because somewhere deep down, the memory of that "Ming-xiong! Ming-xiong, come drink with me!" still lingered.

     

    or

     

    He Xuan can't bring himself to part with a slowly drifting into insanity Shi Qingxuan.

    Summary

    The classroom a theatre, his classmates the audience, everyone—everyone!—an actor—and he feels an irrational urge, right then and there, to stand up and speak. Something clenches in his chest, and elation hooks a chandelier over the dim, cold classroom lamps, and Neil becomes aware of a yearning, brighter and brighter, that implores him, begs on its knees to speak—and dear God—he wants, and wants, and wants so much that it clenches his hands into fists and his mouth into a line and squeezes life out of him, there to be found yet—and to be an actor, even miles away from a stage, is a prospect as heartbreaking as it’s possible, because now the stage is right in front of him and it’s almost pathetic, is pathetic, how much he wants to feel the words (drip from his tongue, like honey).

    In which Neil’s father doesn’t let him audition for Henley Hall, but A Midsummer Night’s Dream features heavily in Welton’s literature lessons—and when a performance opportunity rolls around (disguised as Welton’s annual Open House ceremony), it prompts Todd into directing that very same play.

    And Neil, of course, wants to act.

    (Or: In which Todd and Neil save each other.)

So, he took it upon himself to do some digging and reconnect, starting with-- Mike.

    Or,

    Summary

    “Woah- Will.” He jumped to his feet, stumbling to look over Will’s shaking shoulder at the now smeared surface. “Shit… this is really…”
    “Sad…” “Poignant…”
    They spoke at the same time, Will turning to Mike with a confused crinkle on his nose bridge.
    “English major.” Will huffed with a weary grin, his hazel eyes flicking across Mike’s speckled face. “You’re so pretentious.” He teased, jabbing the taller man’s chest. A smile passed between them, the room suddenly very warm.
    “Will- You know you could’ve just asked me to model for you right?”
    “Yeah I know…”
    “...But?”
    “...But…” Will had started to dip his brushes into the stained cup of murky water. “I need my model to be-” He’d posed for Will in the past, it wasn’t something new. “I need a nude model.”
    oh
