    Summary

    “Hi,” Oscar said. “Just know this is the only time you will ever see Lando here early. He’s usually running into class during pliés.”

    Charles tried not to cringe at the terrible French pronunciation. While, yes, he was not French and therefore really not one to talk about French accents, this was just painful. Hopefully, it would only be Oscar who pronounced it this badly.

    “Good to meet you.”

    “Wait, where are you from?” Lando asked, “Are you French?”

    Charles had never been so insulted in his entire goddamn life.

    “I am from Monaco! Monaco is not France!”

     

    Or: Charles is a piano accompanist for a ballet class. Max is a ballet dancer. They enemies to lovers it.

    Summary

    Lando sloping off after a meeting, or a practice session, only to turn up an hour or so later looking dishevelled, with clothing creases cut into his cheeks. It would be endearing if not for the fact that he seems to be hiding all the good napping spots from Oscar.

    Self-proclaimed sleep enthusiast Oscar, who can never get more than ten minutes alone time for a nap

    OR: Lando introduces Oscar to all the good places to nap around the garage.

    Summary

    “You’re not being very sympathetic,” Lando replies. “My roommate is a serial killer!”

    Charles says, unhelpfully, “five months ago you walked into his apartment with no identification, no luggage, and the request for him not to look your name up on the internet, and he let you live with him without even asking if you served in the war. And we are surprised he is a lunatic?”

    Or: Oscar kills people. Lando is legally dead. Someone wants to restart the war.
