    Summary

    Ray raised the paper towel, gingerly touching Illi's face and wiping off the blood off her lips and chin. Then she grabbed another paper towel and gave it to Illi to put in her nostril so it would stop bleeding.

    “Are you hurt anywhere else?” She asked, watching Illi lean against the sink and sigh.

    “No, I’m not bleeding anywhere else.” She spoke softly.

    ---

    Both Illi and Ray are trans, one is out and one is not, they become friends anyways.

    Summary

    They sit on the edge of their bed, scratchy wool blanket under their hands on what's little more than a slab.

    Slabs aren't for the living, and the living need to work in order to eat. They reach for their boots.

    Summary

    In some ways, it was the most natural thing in the world: hadn't they always been two halves of the same whole?

    -

    Summary

    There’s a brief moment of silence, of recognition, of oh shit oh fuck, before Frank says, “Gerard, hey. Long time, no see.”

    A little voice in Gerard’s head starts screaming, telling him things like say something and remember how to talk and god he looks so fucking good and shut up and reply to him, but what ends up tripping its way out of Gerard’s mouth is, “Oh, um. Frank, I – toothpaste.”

    For half a second, Frank looks like he’s about to laugh, but whether he actually was going to, Gerard doesn’t find out. Before Frank can say anything else at all, Gerard says, “Shit,” and leaves.

    He’s halfway home before he realizes that not only is he the biggest idiot to ever walk the earth, but he also didn’t even get his fucking toothpaste.

    Summary

    It’s both Frank and Gerard’s first semester at The University. One is a late-coming freshman who would rather be anywhere but a lecture hall, and the other is a rookie professor trying to find his place in the world. What they have in common: BusComm101, Monday and Wednesday mornings from 10:00-12:00, and a predisposition for a sneaky love affair. Though Frank is battling demons that he thought he’d long since defeated, and Gerard is suffering from a seemingly-endless identity crisis, the two just might find peace in the chaos that is each other.

    “Do all your office hours appointments go like this, Professor?” Frank said, his voice barely a whisper. His eyes fixated on a single strand of hair that had fallen in Gerard’s eyes, and his heart rate jumped as he awaited a response.

    “You got me.” Gerard said with a grin, narrowing his eyes. He lifted his hands and shook them in a mimicked surrender. “I’m playing favorites.”

    “I’ll be your favorite any day.”
