    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.

    Summary

    “You fell asleep,” David says, worrying at his bottom lip. “Were you bored?”

    Exer doesn’t want to admit how comfortable he had been, surrounded by David’s scent and David’s warmth and the light pressure from the squeeze of his arm around Exer’s. So he doesn't say anything at all.

    David interprets Exer’s silence quickly and drops his gaze to his lap, fidgeting with his fingers.

    “Right, sorry. I know you don’t really like musicals.”

    Exer stares at the boy in front of him and swallows his guilt.

    Because in Mrs. Miller’s house — safe and full of love and far away from the asshole that is William Miller — he thinks maybe he could like musicals.

    But that’s too confusing to explain, so he just nods.

    ------

    Exer grows up loving music, and learning to let himself love David, too.

    Summary

    "Sure about this?" Ron asked.

    "Uh." Brenda said intelligently, just like she already had 3 times in a row, her gaze shifting back to herself in the mirror. Back to her hair. "Yes."

    Her hair had always been red, ginger, however you wanted to call it. It was an exact replica of her father's shade and that was the very reason she stood in front of that bathroom mirror now, fidgeting with the package of bleach in her hands.

    ———
    Or, the five times people reacted to Brenda's new hair and the one time she did so herself.

    "They are-" David started, mouth full, before taking another bite. "Really, really delicious."
