    Summary

    The table has been silent for 31 painstaking seconds—Nath has counted each one. During it, details that escaped him, for he is fixed on his plate of Hamburger Helper, his little sister Hannah soaks in like a sponge cleaning a mess: their mom, mouth opening to say something, then shutting so fast Hannah thinks she hears the thunk of teeth, then opening again; their dad, staring at Nath like a stranger who’s wandered in through the back door and sat down at the table; and Nath himself, fingers curling tighter and tighter around his fork until Hannah fears it might snap in two.

    At the thirty-third second, Nath finally says something. “I just—” his voice strains out of him in a thin line “—thought you should know.”

    Everything Nath Lee never told his parents about his relationship with the boy across the street.

    Summary

    The smell of smoke is overwhelming. Nath can feel it sitting atop his skin, sticking to the sweat and the taste of whiskey still on his tongue. Beside him, Jack has also closed his eyes, leaning back against his seat, head tilted against the rest, his neck long and exposed. Nath breathes in around his own cigarette and holds it until his throat burns.

    Summary

    By the time everyone had gathered around the table, Nico was buzzing with excitement. His character sheet and notebook were neatly laid out in front of him, and his D&D Player’s Handbook was tucked away in his bag in case he needed it (he wouldn’t, he had it memorised back to front). Bianca didn’t have any dice, so Nico was sharing his collapsible dice tray with her, and set it between them for easy access. His fancy obsidian dice were neatly lined up along one side, and the glittery green acrylic set he loaned Bianca was lined up on the other.

    Percy was idly stacking his blue d6s opposite Nico while Grover was organising his spell cards next to him. Thalia was at the other head of the table - opposite Annabeth, and between Grover and Bianca - doodling in the margins of her character sheet.

    “Okay,” Annabeth announced to grab their attention, and Nico couldn’t stop smiling even if he wanted to. “Let’s start by introducing our characters.”

    -------

    An exploration of Nico’s relationships through games of D&D. Written for “Day 25 - D&D” of Auctober.

    Summary

    It took a couple of rings, but Minho really could have used more time to prepare himself emotionally as Jisung finally picked up the phone with a sleepy “hey baby~”

    And Minho, well, he almost dropped his phone on the spot, heart skipping a beat.

     

    Minho's roommate has a nickname for him, it seems. A nickname that really, really does something to Minho's emotions.

    Summary

    It’s been a long time since Minho has met anyone new. Since he’s had to get to know someone. He doesn’t remember how to make small talk—but, honestly, considering Jisung was teasing him about getting stroked off by Seungmin earlier, haven’t they blown right past small talk? Minho opens his mouth to ask Jisung something, but before whatever inane question he still hasn’t decided on can start to form, Jisung beats him to it: “If you could go anywhere tonight, where would you go?”

    “I thought you were just taking me to your place.”

    “I’m a total fucking stranger, man. I could be taking you anywhere. To kill you.

    “You’re not a stranger,” Minho points out placidly, shrugging. “I know your middle name.”

    P206: On the eve of his wedding, Minho is enchanted by cater-waiter Jisung—and all the possibilities he represents for a different (better?) life.
