Summary
Hongjoong’s hand slips under his jacket, Seonghwa watching the clerk’s eyes be drawn to the movement. Through one layer, Seonghwa blinks in time with Hongjoong’s fingertips, tracing something unknowable over his skin.
Seonghwa waits for Hongjoong to correct him. Waits for him to wave his hand, laugh, and say he’s my friend, we sing together, and for the clerk to get flustered over his mistake.
“My wife likes red wine,” He says, instead. “So, you can pick.”
“Naturalmente.” The clerk smiles at Seonghwa, and gives Hongjoong the room key.

Summary
Nathan pulls Axiom into his arms. The warmth of their skin buzzes, like it’ll spark with the electricity in the air. Axiom bends into his embrace, voice labored with panting.
“We did it,” He says, low, though there isn’t a crowd in the world that would block Nathan from hearing him.
He’s not brave. He tells himself that he is, all the time. A brave man would peel off Axiom’s mask.

Summary
The silence is not necessarily companionable, but it's not hostile. It’s restless, feeding off Bron’s fire, even the embers it’s stoking right now. Simmering heat, a promise. Seth sees the future.
Seth remembers what it was like when he was Bron’s age, but he never cut the shape that Bron does. Bron oozes intimidation like it’s his job.
He’s not shy, either, apparently, because across the locker room he’s stripping down right there, uncaring of who’s watching. Which is to say– Seth. Seth’s watching, closer than he should admit.

Summary
There’s an abrasive grip on his shoulder, Punk’s pulling him up. Tyler wants to be impressive, wants to look composed, but Punk’s biting near his lip ring. He’s smiling.
“Okay, kid,” Punk says, and all of Tyler’s other senses go out the window, “Good one, Tyler.”
Tyler can only mutter t-thanks, as he’s escorted out of the ring. Some guys clap him on the back, and a few others look away.
The name Tyler's gotta stick. CM Punk’s said it, twice.

Summary
“I'm the new guy.”
Michaels laughs, takes off his sunglasses quick enough that Paul can see him roll his eyes. He pulls out a stick of gum from his pocket and Paul watches his tongue peek out to receive it. He should blink, should look away, should-
“Right, got that part.” Michaels’ eyes are blue. “Lemme try this again,” He taps Paul on the top of his chest. “I'm Shawn. From ‘round here.” He gestures with his hand. “Your turn, man, c’mon.”
Paul looks down at the water jug again, just to have something else to take in that isn't Shawn's amused gaze. “Paul. Paul Levesque. I'm, uh, I'm from Connecticut.”
“No, no that ain't gonna work.” Shawn pops his gum, huffs out a laugh. “What the hell are you doin’ in West Texas?”

Summary
After a few dead ends, Seonghwa finally found the door marked “Third Officer.” He hesitated, the ship’s gentle rocking suddenly more noticeable as he crouched to slide the envelope underneath the door, his hand trembling.
No going back now.
Seonghwa straightened and turned to go, feeling an instant flood of relief—until, for the second time that week, he nearly collided with someone standing right behind him.
“Are you always in the habit of sneaking around, Mr. Park?”
—
In 1909, chance meetings on the S.S. Runic set Seonghwa on a journey through Edwardian London, New York, and the depths of the Atlantic aboard the Titanic.

“I’m all aloooone, with nobody besiiide meee – can you turn that TV off? Thanks.”
“I’m told you refused multiple offers.”
“Rumi would take in a dead squirrel,” Hawks huffs, scratching his nose on the pillow, going wsh wsh wsh. “I’m not doing that to her, no way in hell. And the commission wanted to put me into the hero equivalent of a nursing home, so fuck that too.”
When Hawks is abandoned by everyone else, Enji offers to bring him home.

Summary
Would Minho have sex with him? Would he want to? The thought turns Jisung’s stomach. He doesn’t want Minho to get the wrong idea about why he comes here, why he’s meeting up with him.
“I’m straight,” he blurts, without prompting, heartbeat heavy in his fingers, his cheeks, behind his eyes.
Minho twists around so that the chains of his swing are crossed, staring Jisung dead on with his eyebrows raised. “Um. Okay? I’m not trying to sleep with you.”
Shame burns deep in Jisung’s insides, through the cavity of his chest, between his bones. “I–I know,” he stutters. “I’m–” swallowing back bile, something sharp. “Sorry, I don’t know why I said that.”
(OR: Han Jisung, Lee Minho, & Mutually Assured Destruction)

Summary
“Do I know you?” the stranger asks, squinting into Jisung’s face. Then he splits into something of a maniacal smile. Snaps his fingers, pokes one into Jisung’s sternum. “You. You’re Jiwon, from 1-Up.”
“Oh my god,” Jisung squeaks when he finds his voice. And around a bewildered laugh, “J.ONE, not Jiwon.”
“What’d you say?”
“J—never mind.”
