    Summary

    Lando tilted his head. “So tell me,” he said, tone light, the grin already forming. “On a scale from one to ten, how much are you enjoying this?”

    Oscar didn’t look at him. “Currently? A strong three.”

    “Three?” Lando gasped. “You’re sitting across from me on a private jet, drinking champagne. That’s at least an eight.”

    Oscar finally turned to him, eyes glinting under the cabin lights, the corner of his mouth curving up. “You’ll have to try harder.”

    Or: the one where Lando tries to make Oscar’s pretty cheeks blush (and succeeds).

    Summary

    "Second," Max continues, "You're so dramatic, you should have to walk home, actually, if you're going to be–"

    "Fine, I will," Charles juts his chin out.

    "Fine. I can’t believe I’m in love with someone who likes Cocoa Puffs. I hope you enjoy walking home weighed down by the knowledge that you’re eating trash for breakfast," Max huffs, swiveling the cart around.
    -
    Or, when Max first tells Charles he's in love with him, it's 3 a.m and they're in the middle of the cereal aisle at a 24-hour grocery store.

    Summary

    “What about you? What’s keeping you here?”

    “My roommate has been telling me to come see his band for weeks, but I didn’t have the time until today,” the guy explains, frowning a bit. “I can’t find him though, maybe he’s also in the bathroom with someone.”

    “Our roommates suck, pun absolutely intended,” Michael snorts. “You could leave though, assuming you have your keys and you drove here.”

    “I did, I do, but,” he shrugs, giving Michael a slow once over, lips tugging up into a shy smile. “I think I’m gonna stick around.”

    “And keep me company?” Michael asks, perking up slightly at the prospect.

    “If you want.”

    He smiles in delight. Suddenly, he doesn’t need Calum to hurry up. “I could use the company actually.” He holds his hand out, goosebumps breaking across his skin when the guy takes it. “I’m Michael.”

    “I’m Luke.”

    Summary

    Michael’s jaw dropped.

    “You think I fucking cheated on you?” he glared at Ashton, who just stared down at his tea.

    “It just doesn’t look too good for you, Michael,” Luke told him calmly.

    “Can you please just explain, Mike?” Calum asked tiredly.
