Summary
God, maybe it's because the space they gave each other after their breakup only lasted a few weeks, but Wille feels just as strong for Simon as he always has. It's hard to keep his distance at times, like now, with Simon shoved up next to him on the Erikkson's too-small couch. His entire right side is covered by Simon. Wille so desperately wishes he could reach out for Simon's hand, or lean on his shoulder, or—god-forbid—kiss him.
It's New Year's Eve at the Eriksson's a year after the infamous video leaked, and Wille tries again.

Summary
“What, are you jealous?”
“Of you? No, Hayden is not my type. I prefer pretty girls.”
“Don’t be a bitch.”
Lily laughs, loud and harsh. “Hollander, you are allowed to laugh! I am hilarious. And you did not notice that I flirt with you.”
The words bounce around Jane’s head, especially “flirt”—loud and clear. Her mouth goes dry, heart thud thud thudding in her chest. “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”
“Mm, I think so,” Lily says, head tilting. “It is word for expressing interest, yes? For sex?”
Jane’s stomach twists, a familiar—but vaguely nauseating—feeling rushing through her. She doesn’t—she’s not—“I’m not gay.”

Summary
Gansey is warm and solid, and Blue is restless.
She feels it now, in the way her finger presses into his dimple and then into his lower lip, a mirror of his own nervous habit. Gansey stops breathing and for a moment Blue thinks she's really killed him, just like this, before he breathes out shakily and she realizes he's just hooked.
All of a sudden, she knows. “I want to be close to you.”
Gansey's breath stutters again. “You are. Very close to me.”
Blue huffs and shuts her stupid book, heat burning low in her belly. “Gansey. Have you heard of this thing called a euphemism?”
~
Blue and Gansey are both struggling to deal with the weight of everything that's happened. But talking about it requires acknowledging it, so instead Gansey fingers Blue.Bookmarked by absent_trees
