    Summary

    “I don't get what you like about him so much,” Jaehyun says around his lollipop.

    Doyoung sighs. “You wouldn't understand,” he says, watching Taeyong walk away with Johnny. “What's with the sudden fascination in candy?”

    Jaehyun grins. “You said you don't like the taste of ash in your mouth.”

    or

    (doyoung has been in love with taeyong for almost a decade, but taeyong is dating johnny, and jaehyun - well, jaehyun is doyoung's “boyfriend”.)

    Summary

    But Barty thinks, and we don’t need to go into the reasoning for why his mind is suddenly thinking such things as Evan lets go of his hand and sits next to him, that they would not be a star and the moon.

    The two idiots cooing at one another across the way have that covered—great.

    He’s pretty sure he heard Sirius comparing James to the sun the other weekend, pissed off vodka cranberries, and crying. So that’s taken as well. Barty is running out of metaphors as Evan sits and bumps his hip with his own, getting him to scoot further over in his chair.

    Both of them are sitting on one side of the table now. Evan takes a cherry between his teeth, bites it from the stem, and flicks the stem onto the table. It lands right next to Barty’s keys and wallet, just touching.

    He looks over and meets Barty’s eye.

    They're not the sun and moon or stars in the night sky; Barty and Evan are both black holes.

    Summary

    Donghyuck is pretty sure he’s been in love with Renjun since they met. For the most part, he plays it cool—which really means flirting endlessly, then passing it off as a joke when Renjun sighs, or shakes his head, or rolls his eyes at him.

    Then he learns that Renjun has his eye on someone else, might even have been in love with them for years, and Donghyuck’s world goes up in flames.

    (In which Donghyuck is Renjun’s “someone else.” He would realize this if he stopped running long enough to look around.)

    Summary

    In which Renjun lives his life believing that he and Donghyuck will never fit, and Donghyuck is devoted to making sure he has a place in Renjun's life, in sickness and in health, and in Renjun's adoration and Donghyuck's madness.

    ("Donghyuck is honest," Chenle tells him and Renjun nods. He knows this - underneath all of the ridiculous declarations of love Donghyuck palms off to all of his friends, Donghyuck is honest. "But he's also really good at lying." Renjun knows this as well - Donghyuck is masterful at performing, he would lay down his life to pretend that he has everything under control.

    Renjun laughs to try and lighten the mood but Chenle stares him down, "He's too much sometimes, he says shit that he doesn't mean and then bares his heart the next and it's confusing."

    Renjun knows that one a bit too well.

    “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him be more honest with anyone the way he is with you.")
