Summary
“Can I stay tonight?”
Max turns his head away from the TV screen and towards Charles.
“Is it one of those?” Max asks, just to make sure. He would not deny Charles whatever it is he needs; but he does need to know what that is.
“Not that bad,” Charles says, fingers digging into the pillow when he finally shifts around to face Max. “I just- I don’t want to be alone tonight.”
“Okay.”
.It’s not more than what it is - not more than it looks. Sometimes, Charles needs contact. Often, Max is there to provide it because he’s the same. Always, they come out feeling more grounded and happier than they were before they started.
This is an ode to friendships so comfortable you can do anything and it"s all good. I promise you it"s both as soft as and way dirtier than the summary makes it look.

Summary
“It’s a bruise. I’ve had a lot worse. I was handcuffed to your desk once when I had worse, remember?” TK curls his hands around the back of Carlos’s neck, trying again to lighten the mood.
“That was different. You started a fight, that’s not the same as somebody attacking you when you’re trying to save them.” Carlos just keeps staring at his cheek, with his arms hanging at his sides. He isn’t reaching for TK, he isn’t holding him or kissing him and TK’s heart races for a different reason. He’d known Carlos would be upset. He didn’t think Carlos would be this upset.
He goes up on his tiptoes and wraps his arms around Carlos’s neck, trying to pull him into a hug that Carlos doesn’t reciprocate. TK swallows over the lump that builds in his throat as his brain searches quickly through his Carlos rolodex for anything he might be able to say to make this better.Bookmarked by ddvinedgs
