    Summary

    What does it mean to love? Bdubs’ new neighbour Etho is mysterious, but Bdubs can't help but feel like his neighbour is similar to him in a way he can't explain.
    Whimsy, banter, bonding, shared hobbies, explorations of being Aromantic asexual in one's 30s-40s.

    ➳➳➳

    Bdubs just had to take a peak inside. Blame his inner interior designer. Bdubs knocked on Etho’s door yet again. Eventually, Etho peered out of his purple door, hiding behind it as if it were a shield.

    “Hi neighbour! Are you mostly moved in now?”

    After a brief silence, Etho answered, “Eh, still got boxes around.”

    “Well,” Bdubs grinned, “when you’re done unpacking those, when’s the house warming party?"

    “House warming party?” Etho questioned in a tone that said ‘not happening.’

    “Oh come on! Buying a house is a big deal! It's real grown up mature stuff. Plus, all of us neighbours are pretty close, all nice people!”

    “Can’t.”

    “Oh not this again! Why?”

    Etho looked down, fidgeting with his sleeve before saying, “it’s nothing.” He moved to shut the door in Bdub’s face, but Bdubs shot out his foot to jam between the door.

    Summary

    Cub expected to feel more different, holding a hero captive in his apartment. He doesn't. Everything is almost the same. Get up, stretch, get dressed, greet the sun. Not until he gets to his food is anything is different, the extra oversized danish sitting on his tray a reminder, fresh and still faintly warm.

    After checking and rechecking everything known about Hotguy's potential food allergies, everything in the danish cross-references cleanly to things Hotguy has eaten publicly before. Things Cub has seen him eat at city banquets where they’d brushed shoulders. As does the glass of juice Cub pours. Cub's got spreadsheets tracking that information, to make it easier to plan out what food to order. Preparation, to ensure he could handle Hotguy’s needs.

    All that's left now is to bring the food to Hotguy.

    Or:
    CEO Cub buys a captured Hotguy at auction, planning some simple autographs for his collection before the hero inevitably escapes. Hotguy finds something else in his time with Cub, though.

    Summary

    The bassbeat drowned out conscious thought, and it took language with it. Grian couldn’t tell what people were saying. He could watch them, watch the colors play across cheeks and irises and the curves of strangers’ ears, their earrings, their weapons, but he couldn’t understand them. He was getting overwhelmed, and that was a bad thing. He’d worked too hard to get overwhelmed at concerts anymore.

    The Watcher was up in the rafters, huddled in a corner above the sweeping lights. Grian could see him if he squinted, a darker speck of shadow in the dazzled-out gray of the venue’s high roof, but no one else would be looking. They’d go about their concert and the rest of their nights like nothing had happened, the side effects safely dispersed over a crowd of three thousand, and the Watcher would come out healthier. His cheeks would fill out a little.

    He’d look more like Grian, and Grian--

    Grian would look more like him.
