    Summary

    It’s true that Euijoo learned Japanese off of almost nothing but animated films, elementary school practice handbooks, and the members, but Mandarin is different. Mandarin is quick, sharp, and precise. Nicholas speaks his native language like he dances—he holds that intensity in his fingers and carves it into refined accuracy, fluidly welding together sentences like he rolls his body under the glaring stage lights.

    It’s different, Euijoo wants to tell him. Like our native languages. Like us.

    (or: Euijoo speaks around the liquid amber forcing his words down. He gets Nicholas to understand anyway.)

    Summary

    The first thing Yudai thinks when he meets Fuma is: wow, this guy is handsome.

    His second thought is: wow, why is a guy this clean-cut standing in my filthy little garage workshop?

    -
    or: the one where Yudai is a mechanic, artist, and prosthetic expert on a junker planet on the edge of the solar system and Fuma is a handsome client from downtown looking for a new arm.

    Summary

    It’s easy, in the end. Sung Hanbin is easy. He flushes at the slightest compliment; he snags into Zhang Hao’s orbit like multiple boys have before him and spins there, starry-eyed. The problem is that Zhang Hao likes him. He is kind and funny and smart and cute, cute, cute and so easy to talk to it’s kind of alarming. They have the exact same taste in food, in media, even in cute room decorations. Zhang Hao regrets wasting three years not knowing him.

    Zhang Hao thinks he might be in trouble.

    Or: Zhang Hao has never done anything halfway, why should falling in love be any different?

    Summary

    “How much for this?”

    The guy looked Zhang Hao up and down. “Five,” he said. His eyelashes were the longest eyelashes Zhang Hao had ever seen on a dude.

    “And for me?” He bit his lips.

    “Five?” the guy said, but he didn’t sound completely sure.

    “But I'm so hot,” Zhang Hao argued. “And I'm obviously flirting with you.”

    or; It's a summer in the late 90s. Hanbin works at the resort where Zhang Hao is staying.

    Summary

    It's fitting that he realises he loves Hanbin while he's watching him tear out another tribute's throat with his teeth. He had expected that it would be earth-shattering, maybe, something similar to the depictions in the romance novels he used to read. But Zhang Hao only traces Hanbin's form on the screen, his staunch refusal to cede victory, and thinks oh, I love him.


    If only Zhang Hao knew winning the Games would be the easy part.
