    Summary

    Who's ███?"
    Ivan looks up from his laptop, blinking. "What?"
    "Your phone." Till holds it up. "She texted. Same time next week."
    Ivan's hand twitches toward it, then stops. He rubs his face instead. "It's nothing. Just a friend."
    "You don't have friends."
    "Rude." Ivan almost smiles. "It’s for work."
    "Since when do you text someone from work at midnight?"

    Or: Maybe Ivan just wanted something different. Someone different.

    It made a kind of sense. Till wasn't stupid. He knew how the world worked. He knew some people could do the gay thing for a while, experiment, have their fun, and then eventually want the real thing. The wife. The kids. The white picket fence.

    Summary

    Runa and Ivan are touching lips, Runa cupping the back of Ivan’s neck while running her fingers through his hair with her eyes closed. Ivan’s hand is holding her chin, keeping her mouth pressed against his.

    Till shudders, an uncomfortably hot feeling blooming in his chest. His face reddens, and suddenly he feels tears pricking at his eyes. He’s not sure why, but he’s upset. He thinks back to when Ivan once asked him if they could touch lips, remembering that Ivan had actually referenced that empty promise a few days ago with Mizi. Till tries wiping his tears from his face with the back of his sleeve, planning on glancing up at the pair one last time before he leaves for good.

    Only, when he looks up, he catches Ivan’s red-pupiled gaze.

    A girl in Anakt Garden asks Ivan to be part of an exclusive pair. Ivan doesn't refuse.
