Summary
Evan stops in his tracks.
“Tommy,” he says, blinking like he’s trying to figure out if what he’s seeing is real. “What- what are you doing here?”
Waves of emotion pass over his face. The edges of his mouth pull up for a moment and then turn down the next, like he can’t settle on one feeling. He’s not upset to see Tommy, exactly, but he’s not happy either.
“I invited him,” Howie says. “I figured one extra set of hands is good, but two is better.”
The look Evan gives Howie is half betrayal, half bewilderment. His gaze keeps flicking back to Tommy—cautious and happy and terrified. Tommy feels much the same way. He wants to set Evan at ease. I come in peace. We have a common enemy.

Summary
“I want a do-over,” Buck blurts out. “Back to the beginning. Yes, maybe I didn’t see all of you, and I know I jumped the gun when I asked you to move in. But you can’t just decide there’s things we shouldn’t talk about and then complain when I don’t have the full picture.”
OR: Buck does everything backwards and gets dumped before he actually gets to know his boyfriend. Tommy mostly runs in circles. Somehow they still meet in the middle.

Summary
Historically, Christmas has never been a day Tommy looked forward to. That's finally changing this year.
"What was your best Christmas ever?"
Pressing his thumb to hold the crease as tightly as he can, Tommy glances up from the box he's wrapping—inside is something called a "Hatchimal Pufficorn," which can't possibly be actual words in the English language, and yet Jee-yun has talked about nothing else for the last couple of months—and says, "My what?"
Evan watches him tape the edge down. His brows furrow. "I-Is Jee even going to be able to unwrap that?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's got, like, hospital corners. She's going to dislocate an arm trying to get that stupid thing out."
