    Summary

    What's in your inventory?

    The last thing D3rLord3 ever said to AveryTheMayo in that world was a question. A distraction. A way to push him somewhere safe before the door closed.

    Derek Hutchins wakes up at 3am and cannot convince himself he is real. He presses his hand to his own chest and counts his heartbeat and it doesn't help, and then Avery is there, sitting on the kitchen floor, asking him about chip flavors like it's the most natural thing in the world.
    It helps. Avery helps. Derek is slowly, reluctantly, gratefully learning to let him.

    The next morning Derek tries to make breakfast and sets off the smoke alarm. The eggs are perfect. The toast is a casualty. Everything is fine.
    (first time Avery realizes how deep it goes. first time Derek realizes he doesn't have to hold it alone.)

    Summary

    He saw how his shoulders flinch when Avery yelled— then the guilt forming in his face when he must had realized that he had to force him out of the platform.

    The need to protect, the way his eyes started to faintly water like Avery's.

    The split moment of the gentle touch Derek had near his chest, giving Avery a different thought for just a second— before he felt his heart drop when the sudden pain from Derek's force struck.

    Derek must had wanted to bring Avery home the gentle way, and Avery replayed that scene in his head over and over again.

    Or:

    The two are together again, and Avery needs some help calming down after the whole ordeal.

    Summary

    The universe grants Derek a second chance. For the plot? For the audience's entertainment? Pity from the creator? He doesn't know. But what he knows is that the world that doesn't exist is long gone, and his new world is right there, in a dingy 7-11 at 11.34pm.

    Or alternatively: 7-11 meetugly. Derek finds Avery 8 months later, who weeps and crashes out.
