Summary
Ray likes Sundays, sitting in the middle of the church pews in his blue tie with his mom beside him. He likes searching the crowd for a face and trying to imagine what they would be in another life, a burglar, a monk, a disco singer,
depending on what face they wear that Sunday. -

Summary
“Swear it,” Pete hisses.
“Okay, fine, fine.” Ray says, and he’s definitely angry now. Good, now they can both be angry. “I swear. No, how did you put it? Dumbass heroic stunts. I’ll make every effort to live. But you make the same promise, or you can’t hold me to it.” There are tears in his eyes, and Pete briefly feels like a heel.
“Ray—”
“You don’t want to lose me, fine. I’m not losing you either. We both walk away from this, or neither of us do. Promise me.”

Summary
His new job was the most coveted on campus, and for good reason: it paid well. It paid very well. It was the kind of job everyone applied for, and not many even got an interview. Of course, there was a catch. Walker’s had an infamously high employee turnover rate.
--
Ray's barista gig sucks absolute ass, but at least the guy training him seems pretty cool.

Summary
It takes Ray Garraty five days to fall in love.
Which is, objectively, absolutely fucking absurd. He started dating Jan when he was sixteen years old and never fell in love with her. That sounds terrible, but it’s true. Three and a half years together, and he never even considered the possibility of falling in love with her. What a great boyfriend he turned out to be.
But he meets Pete McVries and falls in love in less than a week.

Summary
Pete feels... itchy. Restless. He's been on the move for so long that even this well needed rest feels wrong. It feels dangerous. It is dangerous. The more you move, the less people look at you. The less they look, the safer you are.
So, the four weeks he's spent living at the Garraty house feels like forever. He still feels like an intruder.
It's time, he decides, to give it up. Ray doesn't love him, not in the way he wants him to. It's time to do what he does best and move on.
So why won't Ray let him?

Summary
Ray swallows, flounders for a second. “I don’t wanna overstep,” he says, then cringes at the look on Pete’s face.
“Overstep?” Pete’s reeling and Ray's hands splay so Pete doesn’t fall backwards. “Ray, you could never—"
“No, no,” Ray tries reversing course, fingers flexing against Pete’s spine. “I just…I didn’t wanna assume—or maybe assume’s not the right word—I didn’t think—you were so sad, Pete, and I—“
Pete’s looking at Ray like he’s grown three heads, like he’s gone honest to God, batshit crazy.
“You were hurtin’, Pete, so bad, and I didn’t wanna act like everything was fine.” Ray pauses for a moment before meekly adding, “And you deserve space from me if you want it.”
or
Ray still feels guilty after their fight. Pete just wants them to be okay.
