Summary
“We talked about it before we went over to fetch you,” Ashton starts, “and Michael talked it over with Liz, and we decided that you shouldn’t live on your own for the time being.”
“You decided that I shouldn’t live on my own,” Luke repeats. “Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m an adult who can make his own decisions.”
Ashton smiles, but it’s thin and void of humour. “You’re staying with me for a while, Luke.”
A story about figuring out how to handle the difficulties life throws at you, on your own and with the help of loved ones.

Summary
Shut the fuck up. Please.— 5A
Yeah, it’s impolite. But Calum isn’t a saint, he’s only a high-school teacher.
He walks back to the neighbouring apartment and slams the note on the door none-too-kindly. He also pointedly slams his own door shut when he gets back to his apartment.
There’s the buzzing of speakers, and a prolonged silence. Then, Calum hears the creak of a chair shifting followed by the click of a door unlocking. He prays that his note conveyed his sentiment: I just want to get some sleep.
The chair creaks loudly as its inhabitant reoccupies it. Then,
“Sorry, man,” says the voice, presumably to Ash. “Jus’ some stray at the door.”
Calum seethes. What the fuck?
“Yeah, no,” Asshole Neighbour goes on, clearly and loudly, like he knows Calum can hear. Which is true. “No, I’d just invest in some soundproofing instead of fucking around in other peoples’ business.”
Or, Calum moves into a new apartment, but the walls are really thin. Also, his new neighbour is annoyingly loud.

Summary
Luke brings his hand up to rest against the swell of Ashton’s right thigh, fingertips pressing lightly into the skin through the thin layer of cotton between them. There’s no heat or want in his touch, simply seeking out the ease of an interaction so casual, kneading his flesh like a pleased cat. It’s a familiar interaction, with Luke always wanting to be as close to another person as possible, but always seeming to find his spot against Ashton’s legs when he can.
Yet there’s just a little bit of something more there, something in the way that Luke’s fingers press down and his cheeks round out from his smile and his eyes flutter shut. Something.

i don’t know what to do (about this dream and you) by lukehoodings

Summary
Calum’s breath hits his cheek. Luke’s brain is white noise now. Calum’s never touched him like this before. His mouth, his face. Not the stupid space at the corner of his lips that Luke didn’t even know was sensitive until right this second. And it’s not just the thumb on his lip that’s doing it. It’s his eyes, the way they linger, pinning him down more effectively than any dream-Calum ever did.
“What happens in these dreams, Luke?”
The thumb leaves his lip, slides down to his chin, coaxing. Like he’s trying to pull the truth right out of him. Luke swallows hard. His voice doesn’t want to exist. Calum’s eyes don’t move, don’t blink. They’re heavy on him, dark, focused, expectant.
Luke hasn’t confessed anything, not really. But the way Calum’s looking at him now makes him feel stripped bare. Like the truth is already written across his forehead in Sharpie and Calum’s just waiting for him to read it out loud.
Luke exhales, shaky. “I think you already know.”
