    Summary

    Jalen, living in a fucking surveillance state all the time. Uptight Jalen who gets home late and doesn’t talk much. Jalen who blushes when Josh tells him what to do.

    Fuck.

    If this is Rick’s attempt to scare Josh straight before he spends the next year sharing a room with his son? He’s gonna have to do a lot more than glare at him across a kitchen. 

    OR: Josh spends a long weekend at Jalen's house when they first become roommates & does his best to piss Rick Brunson off

    Summary

    Taylor swiped a finger over the wound, then brought it up to his lips. Alex watched with rapt attention as Taylor licked the blood—Alex’s blood—off the tip of his finger.

    “What the fuck?” Alex whispered.

    Taylor had the gall to look guilty, looking at Alex through his eyelashes. He licked his lips afterward. Alex's grip on Taylor's wrist went slack.

    “Sorry.”

    “No, Taylor, what the fuck?” Alex insisted, then scooted a bit back on the bed. He could feel blood dripping down his ear. More pointedly, he could feel Taylor's eyes fixate on it.

    And Taylor was fucking salivating.

    “Alex,” Taylor said. His voice sounded soft, sounded careful, but mostly just restrained. His lips parted just enough for Alex to catch a glimpse of Taylor's teeth—or fangs.

    taylor is a vampire. alex is not.

    Summary

    After Melbourne, though, his mind would wander, sometimes, to the sharp line of Alex’s jaw or the furrow of his brow or the way sweat clung to his curls; to his voice, accent curling around his words, timbre much deeper than Learner had been expecting from someone like him—but then Learner would remember himself again and refocus on the present.

    Jeddah, though. Jeddah was different. Jeddah was tangible.
