    Summary

    The call froze in silence.

    The realisation hit Dream like a bag of bricks. Did he really just say that, in front of his closest friends? Was he insane?

    His heart drove into his throat, a lump of anxiety sitting there casually, as his stomach twisted and fell. His mind was in a frenzy, the silence driving him mad; his hands shook with suspense.

    The storm outside roared, its icy grasp clutching snowflakes and clumps of fallen snow as it danced its way through the desolate streets. He rolled back his head, leaning it carefully on the top of his rest, and slid the headphones down to his tanned neck.

    The speakers picked up the noise, echoing it through the call, his very friend's breaths obscured by the glacious commotion; the only noise heard from Dream's end.

    If this carries on, he thought to himself in the confines of his room, the power might go out. How scary, absolutely frightening that would be.

    His eyes glossed over as his attention soon averted to the bleached ceiling. Goosebumps littered his skin, icy winter breath sneaking its way in. His hair stood on end.

    How long had he been staring for?

    Summary

    “But Bruce isn’t gay?” Clark points out, and there’s an awkward moment of everyone clearing their throats and avoiding Clark’s eyes until he turns to stare at Bruce. “Are you?”

    Bruce blinks for a moment before offering a sheepish smile. “I’m not… not?” he offers, and Clark feels his brain just about short-circuit at the news.

    Or, five times Clark finds himself falling for Bruce, and the one time he does something about it

    Summary

    “Your thoughts are so loud,” Hajime mumbled beside him, his voice lazy with exhaustion that Oikawa couldn’t relate to.

    “Sorry, must be the fact that I’m sleeping shirtless next to a stranger in a strange house in the middle of nowhere,” Oikawa bit back instinctually.

    Hajime just snorted at him, as if he was making a joke. “‘S’not that bad. Who knows? Maybe a bit of the country life could do you some good.”

    “Yeah? According to who?”

    “Well you did run away from home,” Hajime pointed out, and, well, yeah, Oikawa couldn’t really argue with that point. “B’sides, doesn’t seem like life has treated you too kindly so far. Change of scenery might not be the worst thing in the world.”

    ---

    Or: Oikawa Tooru, J-Pop idol extraordinaire and the most popular celebrity in the country, is at his absolute wits end with how his life has turned out. He’s miserable, depressed, traumatized, and unable to see a future where anything gets better. The solution, he decides, is running away and ending his life. He isn’t exactly grateful to end up in the countryside with the farmer’s boy, Iwaizumi Hajime, instead, but you know. He’ll get there in time.
