Summary
Ilya tries to breathe. Shane is the one who panics. In fact, Ilya has been so calm over the past hour. So, so calm. Soooooooo so so so amazingly calm that maybe Shane will reward him with a very nice blowjob later. Ilya has been calm because Shane needs a rock to lean on, but Shane is gone and now Ilya is panicking. This is his only chance to rectify the first, shirtless impression he made on Shane’s father.
“Do you still read New Yorker?”
OR: Ilya, on the confluence of Shane with David, Yuna, and Svetlana.

Summary
It’d be good for Buck to have another cat around him. If Bobby’s lucky, Eddie’s mellow temperament would rub off on his crazy orange menace and make him less of a terror.
Of course, that was delusional of him to hope so. If anything, the two were even worse together.
Buck pawing at people’s legs as a distraction while Eddie stole something off their plate. Buck dragging gloves or socks into Bobby’s office like trophies while Eddie followed behind to drop the stolen items into Bobby’s trash can. Napping in the most random places and therefore forcing everyone to check the engine every time just in case they were inside. Following people around and plopping down belly up at their feet like two meowing speed bumps. Knocking random stuff off the shelves.
Just last week, the two had stepped on the PA mic, Buck broadcasting a steady stream of purrs and random meows throughout the entire firehouse until Hen found Eddie serenely perched on the button.
Bobby somehow ended up adopting not one, but two demonic cats.

Summary
He unlocks the door thinking a little nonsensically about the buddy system. We have to stick together, he thinks as Buck moves immediately to the heating controls, turning the AC on with a familiar clank-hum, it’s safer that way. Buck turns to face him, opens his mouth to say something but then Eddie is there, closing the distance, kissing him. We have to stick together Buck’s lips are warm so we won’t get lost and the noise he makes isn’t as surprised as it maybe should be so we can take care of each other but he still pulls back it’s safer, please, it’s safer this way.

Summary
“What’s up with you, Buckaroo?” She laughs, poking his silly cheek.
“I love you,” he says, so sweet, looking even happier just to say it. “So much, Hen. Do- did you know it?”
“Yes,” she says, laugh still in her voice but chest a little tighter. “I know it, Buck.”
He drops his cheek to her shoulder, and then turns his head quick to kiss the spot. “Good. You’re the best. You should know it, a- a hundred- a thousand percent.”

Summary
Eddie is secretly ashamed of most things.
Like dancing alone in the warm sunlit kitchen and the kid-safe makeup Sophia once messily spread on his face. Like knowing there's something he's missing but never truly had in the first place. Like how he walks and talks and always lets his parents down and isn't the best in school but just alright. Like how he doesn't believe in God but thinks he probably should since that's what everyone else does.
Eddie is so ashamed of himself.
Or, Eddie learns how to not be.

Summary
Everyone knows that when you touch someone who's going to be important to you for the first time, you'll leave a mark on them. It's not just romantic love; parents and children, siblings, close friends all share marks too. At least, they do in theory. Maddie's the only person who's ever touched Buck and left anything behind.
.
It’s funny, growing up knowing your parents don’t care about you. The kind of funny that would get Evan uninvited from sleepovers, which is why he always changes into his pajamas in the bathroom. The kind of funny that he’s not allowed to ask his parents about. The kind of funny that makes Maddie look at him so sadly sometimes, when she doesn’t realize he can see her out of the corners of his eyes.- Language:

Summary
“Is it possible,” Chimney says, breaking the silence. Buck looks up from his phone and sees him sip from a mug, eyes glinting. “For two people to get even closer after one of them moves away?”
Buck flushes. He locks his screen, the text thread between him and Eddie fading, but it just lights up again with a notification.
...or, Eddie moves, Buck pines, and they are both very normal about it.

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
“No. No, Mike, can you hear me?” He nods, ever so slightly. It’s enough for Will. If he’s dying— if these are truly the last words that will ever be spoken between them— there’s only one thing he can say. “I love you. I’m in love with you, Mike, please. You can’t go. I love you so much,” Will whispers, cradling his body to his chest.
—
Will confesses his feelings as Mike takes his last breaths— and then Mike decides to be a stubborn asshole about it and survives. Will is left to deal with the aftermath of his choice, navigating an awkward new friendship.

Summary
This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.
Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”
Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.
“Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”

Mike Wheeler and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Obsolete by Pseudologia

Tags
Summary
“All right, Wonder Twins, prepare to meet your maker.” Dustin points a finger at El and smirks. “Never have I ever had a crush on Mike.”
Mike keeps his face neutral while El drinks, as is his ex-boyfriend-turned-best-friend duty. He sees a little movement out of the corner of his right eye, though, and he turns to follow it.
Will is taking a hit off his joint.
“Wait…” Mike says, cutting off Lucas in the middle of his never-have-I-ever announcement. His gaze doesn’t waver from Will’s face. “What?”

never thought I’d let a rumour ruin my moonlight (well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend) by mikeslawyer

Summary
“It’s your hand.”
Mike recognises Will’s hand, the scar on the back of it, the callousness of it caused by all the years of holding a pencil - or a gun lately - everything that Mike would know anywhere. It’s Will. He doesn’t know who the owner of the other hand is, though, a much more slender one, the one which thumb presses to the inside of Will’s hand on the paper, the long fingers wrapping themselves around the familiar wrist.
“It’s just a drawing.”
Will is defensive, looking down at his lap and biting the inside of his cheek. Mike can feel his heart practically fall to his stomach, the unpleasant, familiar thought of he’s not yours making him freeze in his place. Will is defensive, this isn’t just a drawing. He likes someone.
“You have a crush.”
or
Will draws his hand interlaced with another one. Mike is definitely not losing his mind about it.

Summary
“And - and we’ll go to Scoops Ahoy and I’ll get you your favourite ice cream.”
This is all starting to suspiciously look very close to a date, but Will brushes it off - it wouldn’t be the first time he’s read too much into things.
Mike starts fidgeting with his hands, when no answer comes.
“You - you know, like a proper date? I know I’ve done something wrong, because you’re not speaking to me, but we haven’t been on one in ages, so. And then, I was hoping - maybe - if it goes well, I was - uh. I was going to ask if I can kiss you again. Properly, I mean. It’s fine if not though!”
Will doesn’t hear anything else Mike might say afterwards, because his brain short-cuts.
or
Mike confesses to Will - then kisses him. They don't talk about it, but maybe they should.
