    Summary

    “I’m really sorry, Pete. We’ll have all day tomorrow after my final. Okay?”

    Not okay, but Pete couldn’t exactly say that without sounding like a dick. He brought his hands to Ray’s shoulders, humming when he felt how tense they were.

    “You’re tense, baby,” Pete whispered into Ray’s ear, silently delighting in the shiver he felt go throughout Ray. “I can help with that. You won’t even have to look up from your textbooks.”

    Or, Pete spends all day thinking about coming home to his boyfriend, only for Ray to be too busy studying for a final to give him attention. Pete decides to change that.

    Summary

    Pete's laying on the couch, writing, when he suddenly realizes that on top of the weird behavior—the face-down phone, the money—Ray hasn't kissed him in two days. Forty-eight hours is, truly, nothing, but Ray's never been stingy with physical affection. Pete certainly isn't. He starts, quietly, to spiral, the poem on the page stopping midsentence as he sits up. Was he making Ray uncomfortable, with all the hugs and kisses and flirting? Did Ray even like him anymore?

    Pete’s never had something permanent.

    Summary

    Ray smiled, not the shy one from before, but one with more courage, more presence. “Then let me do one more thing for you.”

    Pete tilted his head slightly. “One more thing? You already crossed half the state for this.”

    “That part was for me.” Ray breathed in, steady. “Now I want to ask for something to mark the moment. So I’ll remember this really happened.”

    Pete crossed his arms, curious. “And what would that be?”

    Ray hesitated for long seconds, biting his lower lip, a gesture that seemed involuntary, almost childish, but dangerous in its sincerity.

    “Could you…” He swallowed hard, blushing all the way to his ears. “Sign my tits?”.

    Summary

    Ginnie Garraty is a realistic woman. She can't afford to be anything else in a world where everyone she loves is taken from her one by one. So, she was never one to believe that the glass was half full, or that her son would survive The Long Walk. But, a year after she drove up the state to drop him to his certain death, she is reminded that even after the darkest night, the sun will rise in the morning.

    Summary

    Ray breathed in, feeling the tiredness of the day crash onto him. His eyes felt heavy and his ears wouldn’t stop ringing, but Ray couldn’t stop smiling as he leaned against the fence, already imagining his mother’s cheerful tone when he told him about what had just happened.
    He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around, startled. A female security guard was staring at him with an unreadable expression.
    “Ray Garraty?” she asked. Ray nodded and she did the same. “I have been asked to take you backstage”

     

    or: Ray goes to Pete McVries' concert.
