Summary
“you shouldn’t be with me.”
david’s words come super out of nowhere. exer looks at david where he lies beside him on exer’s bed. he doesn’t look sad, or upset, he honestly looks unfeeling.
“what?” exer nudges david when he doesn’t reply. “day? what do you mean by that?”
“simple,” says david. “you shouldn’t be with me.”
exer doesn’t really know what to say. he doesn’t understand where this is coming from, so how is he supposed to give david a worthwhile response? eventually, he decides on saying, “well… i want to be with you.”
“you shouldn’t want to be,” david stresses. he purses his lips. he looks frustrated.

"Do you ever think about it?"
They probably had a few more hours to kill until the sun would rise, basking the room in light through the open window, birds chirping to announce that it was time to get up.
Not that they had to. Exer's shift didn't start until 4pm and school was over until September.
"Think about what?"

"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.

“You mind a bit of music, Day?” He called, brushing his hands together as he turned his attention back to the boy; who took Exer by surprise because he kinda looked like he was about to fully climb into his closet.
“Nah! You’re good!” David yelled back with a thumb raised.
“Jeez, you’re not trying to get away from me over there are you?”
“No! It’s not my fault your closet’s a mess- Aha!” A navy blue sweater was grabbed from the closet-abyss and David held it up in triumph. “I saw you wear this one last week and I’ve wanted to stea- borrow! Borrow it, ever since.”

Summary
“Dad, what was that?” He blurted sharply.
His father’s hand twitched at his side and he peered over the table and toward the window facing the street. “I-I have no idea.”
Exer wordlessly let his gaze follow, his stomach already tightening itself into knots. There were more noises; the rumble of feet slapping against the ground, words of precaution being hurled between people and car doors slamming shut.
The curtains were drawn but they could just about make out vague movements. Silhouettes of what looked like a person moving very slowly, bent over at the waist and stiffly trudging forward.
They were grunting. Neck jolting as they eventually got closer to the side of the house and out of view from the window.

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

Summary
A mischievous smirk graced Ken's face, prompting David to look at him with a quizzical expression in his eyes. "You sure you don't want any help?" Ken asked, his tone resembling that of a persuasive salesman. "Because I happen to know a thing or two about relaxation, and no offense, but you look like you could use some." Ken playfully winked.
————
Or, Ken figured David could use a bit of weed to calm down. It doesn’t go well. -

Summary
"What was all of this about, David? You could’ve gotten seriously sick! Or, been hurt, pal.”
“I know... I know! I’m sorry.” David blurted out, his voice catching as he struggled to hide his dumb, out of control emotions. He scrubbed his hand furiously across his eyes, as if trying to stop the tears through sheer force. “I just really missed my mom. It’s been so long since I’ve last seen her and I-“
“You what?” Harry asked, voice as soft and thorough as wool, genuinely wanting to understand. There was not a single trace of the blood-thirsty wolf he had grown used to, hiding and lurking behind its cuddly disguise.
Unlike with his father.
~ Or ~
Stuffed toys had always been a comfort for David, but his father never approved. So what happens when the man gets a hold of one of David’s most treasured possessions?

"This isn't the solution, Day," Exer exclaimed, his words intermingled with fresh tears streaming down both of their faces. David slowly nodded against his forehead, acknowledging that the fleeting comfort he sought in alcohol only left him feeling devastated and lost.

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
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.
