Summary
“‘You shouldn’t be up,’ Touya grumbles, because Yuki fusses too much for his own good. Ever since he caught wind of the fact that Touya was feeling under the weather, concern had colored his eyes, brows stitched into a perpetual, slight furrow. And when under the weather turned to coughing and shivering curled against Yuki’s side while they tried to watch a movie, that concern only grew, stubbornly putting down roots. He’d insisted Touya not try to walk home; spring was just budding and there was still a frosty chill on the air.
So, here he is, sleeping—or not—bundled under a pile of the few extra blankets Yuki could dig up from the corners of rarely touched closets. Set up on Yuki’s futon instead of a dusty spare because he insisted, said he wouldn’t be getting any sleep anyway if he was up worrying about Touya.
Ever so gently, Yuki’s hand pulls back from his hair.
‘Apologies.’ It’s softly spoken, mild and neutral. And decidedly not Yuki.”
Or
Touya is sick. Yue struggles with making room for himself. They figure it all out together.

Summary
If Ted had let him answer, Trent would have told him that he loved a lot of things: his family, his friends, football and, yes, writing. But what Trent truly loved was the seeking before the writing. There was a path to the truth and that's what Trent walked, dogged and unafraid.

Summary
Stephen deserved a safe harbor. For some reason, Tony was Stephen's safe harbor and Tony… Tony found he couldn't do anything except give Stephen that. No matter what that meant.
It wasn't pity. Stephen didn't need pity. For the best, pity wasn't an emotion Tony was good at, anyway.

Summary
Ted invites Roy to spend the summer in Kansas like it’s a dare he’s half-smiling through.
It’s framed as a test of endurance: heat that sticks to your skin, towns where the loudest thing at night is cicadas, days that stretch on forever.
Roy says yes because he has nothing else to do.
At first, it really is just that. Friendly jabs. Roy scoffing at the humidity, Ted taking a perverse pride in the way the sun beats down like it’s personal. Ninety-eight degrees in the shade, sweat soaking through Roy’s shirts, Ted handing him a glass of sweet tea like it’s holy water. Roy complains constantly. Ted laughs constantly. It feels familiar. Safe. Like the sort of thing you do when you’re pretending you’re not missing someone already.
Somewhere between the heat and the quiet, between shared beers and unguarded laughter, the challenge stops being about Kansas. It stops being about who can endure the summer. It becomes about how close they can stand without acknowledging it. About how often their shoulders brush. About how long a look lasts before one of them looks away.
Kansas just keeps holding the space for them like it has all the time in the world.
And maybe they do too.
