    Summary

    “Do you remember why you crashed your car?” Steve asks. He pins his gaze on the stretch of black tree limbs against the suede blue of the night sky.

    “I hit a deer,” Billy says shortly.

    “The thing is,” Steve says, he brings his gaze to Billy, “I don’t think you did.”

    Billy scoffs. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

    Steve shrugs. “Whatever you hit, it wasn’t a deer.”

    “Oh really?” Billy asks snidely. “Then what was it?”

    “The Monster Squad calls it the Mindflayer.”

    Summary

    The new guy coming into Martin's work keeps on pestering him, but it's fine because he's cute. With every shitty thing going on in Martin's life, a small flirt never hurt anyone, even if Jon is totally out of his league with his ripped jeans and painted nails.

    OR

    Martin, the new clerk at the corner store, refuses to sell Jon his cigarettes because he isn't old enough, and it would be "illegal".
    Thankfully, Jon is stubborn enough not to admit defeat. He just has to keep on trying.

    This isn't about the cigarettes anymore, is it?

    Summary

    “It’s a preexisting condition,” Jon explains, sipping more bitter tea. “I sort of got—hm. You know Spiderman?”

    Tim raises an eyebrow.

    “Heard of him, yeah.”

    Jon nods, studying his tea.

    “It’s sort of like that,” he says. “A spider killed and ate me when I was a child, and now I can’t stay dead.”

    Resurrection isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Summary

    Four's breath is caught in his throat as he slips out of his bed, cautiously taking a few steps forward, reaching out to touch this battered and broken image of himself with a trembling hand, but it's met with nothing, save for icy cold air.

    It’s like this boy is… his own ghost.

     

    or, Klaus lives a life of death after death. It haunts him.
