    Summary

    "The irony of it all made Exer burst out laughing. He was supposed to be the cool, confident one that got down on one knee and asked him to marry him, yet the person he was proposing to was comforting Exer for being nervous about proposing?

    It's not that he didn't want to propose, he was scared that he would mess it up and that he would stumble over his pre-planned speech or that something would go wrong."

    Or,

    Exer takes David out on a 'date' to propose to him, something he's wanted to properly do for years.

    But it's not easy, especially when he keeps planning for the worst case future-scenarios, tucked away in the back of his mind.

    Summary

    "Go get your hat. Oh, and bring your rain jacket!"

    Seriously? It wasn't even supposed to rain today. Exer rolled his eyes. "It's summer..."

    "And the weather forecast said something about possible storms on the radio when I got up. You don't want to get sick, do you?" Harry argued and, okay, he had a point there.

    Even though 'possible storms' always resulted in three raindrops from the sky.

    Or, David and Exer join Kingsmont's annual scavenger hunt. Unfortunately, nothing about it goes according to plan.

    Summary

    “The soup could’ve been done by now, Day.”
    “Fine. Go. You clearly don’t love me back.”
    “I’m giving up cuddling on the couch with my favorite person to go make food so you can start feeling better,” Exer responds, rolling his eyes fondly. “That seems like love to me.”
    “But I just wanna be close to you — that will make me feel better,” David gripes. “And I finally don’t have to worry about being too touchy when I’m sick.”
    Exer laughs internally at the notion that David has been holding back his affection; because the concept of personal space has always gone out the window when he was sick — way, way before they ever started dating.

    -

    David Miller is already clingy and emotional when he's sick, but especially when it means he will be missing the last day of school.

    Summary

    David pulled down his sunglasses with his free hand and leaned back in his seat. "I can't believe we're finally doing this. I've never been camping before."

    "You'll love it." Exer smiled. "I've been going with my dad nearly every year and it's always been so much fun."

    ———
    Or, the friend group decides to go on a one week camping trip expecting everything to go according to plan.

    Summary

    Exer didn't know where his magic came from, only that he always had it. Only that no one else could see his difference and that if they did, they'd leave. It was their reason; the only logical one and least painful of them to handle.

    And maybe that was why Exer was so used to the feeling of panic and anxiety, of his heart threatening to explode in kamikaze destruction. Because if his own mother hated his difference, then no one could ever find out.

    Summary

    “Uh..hi Exer.”

    “Yeah. Hi. One second.” Exer grumbled half-abstently, frowning at what might’ve been his 3rd rummage through his left pocket with no trace of his money.

    He really needed a new wallet.

    Though his frantic searching was cut short, as his brain finally caught up to him he realised that the cashier had just used his first name. Not only that, but they had spoken in a painfully familiar voice.

    With wide eyes, Exer paused and stumbled to find any sensical words. “J-Jackson..? What- what are you doing here man?”

    Exer has never had much luck with Valentines Day. Will this year be any different?

    Summary

    Exer wasn’t scared to come out to his dad. That really wasn’t it.

    He also hadn’t been avoiding the topic per se, there was just a lot going on.

    Summary

    It was no secret that William Miller hated broken things. He couldn’t stand their very existence so he made it his mission to restore them. If he couldn’t do that, he would rid himself of them, throw it all in the garbage so it could be forgotten to the world. To William.

    David thought it may be the only thing he was certain of when it came to his father. It was just so painfully evident in life. His marriage was broken, he couldn’t fix it, so he threw it away.

    Doesn’t matter that he was the one to have broken it in the first place.

     

    ~ Or ~

     

    David Miller would do anything to feel loved again after his parent’s divorce.

    Summary

    Exer's dad was a pretty calm guy. It was the way Exer always described him. "Oh is your dad cool with us coming over?" "Sure, he is a pretty calm guy." Or, "Hey, can your dad pick me up?" "Of course, he is a pretty calm guy."

    That wasn't the case when Exer's grandma came over for dinner, much less the weekend. It's been a while since she visited town, of course, but Exer was sure his dad had freaked out about it then as much as he did now.

    Or, Exer’s grandma visits town and they really need groceries.

    Summary

    That was the key point though, wasn't it? Exer knew David better than anyone else, his likes and dislikes. He knew what every shift of expression meant, the way his eyebrows twitched when he was irritated and his smile seemed so much wider whenever he was with Exer.

    This date was going to be perfect. Exer would make sure of it.

    Summary

    "I am an idiot." She said, facing Exer with the most neutral expression he had ever seen.

    She must have remained like this for at least half a minute, just staring at Exer like she had completely given up and accepted that fact. Five stages of grief all in one expression. Like her sleeve slipped down as she washed her hands and it had been her final straw, but she was too exasperated to even react.

    Then she continued. "I forgot the pumpkins."

    Exer blinked at her, thinking he misheard at first. "The pumpkins?"

    Summary

    Being in the 9th grade now and having done a whole season of football, Exer was kind of excited to get back into it.

    Not that he particularly enjoyed playing.
    He had only really joined because Mr. Miller was adamant that Day was a part of the team, and Exer was never going to let his best friend take such a big step on his own. Oh no, he was going to be right by his side.

    ~

    Exer and David navigate the first game of a new football season. Exer realises some harrowing truths along the way.
