    Summary

    After his thirtieth birthday, Ivan discovers that remaining a virgin means he now has the ability to hear other people's thoughts whenever he touches them. Is this his opportunity to get closer to Till, his coworker and the man he's loved since high school? Which, admittedly, would be much easier if Ivan's first glimpses of Till's thoughts didn't seem to indicate that he actively dislikes him...

    What else is someone so practiced in the art of charm and people-pleasing to do but try and change his mind?

     

    This is intended to be a light-hearted, fun fic that takes place in an AU inspired by "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!" Silly things ensue. 💖

    Summary

    "Not thinking of marriage yet? We're pushing 30, man."

    Ivan's eyes skidder to the side, to the bundles of clouds above, like splotches of ink. The city is alive all around them, the noise of traffic and faraway voices insulated, muted within that private moment.

    "I told you, Till. There was only one girl I've ever loved."

    The cigarette is flickered to the snowy ground below. Till's face curled in incredulity, something Ivan can tell even without looking.

    "Still? It's been nearly ten years. You said you only saw her once."

    Wild, choppy gray hair, his button nose is pink, cheeks flushed in the cold, made warm by alcohol. Crackled, thin lips, barely parted. Teal, sharp eyes. Naive. Earnest. Stunningly oblivious.

    "I'd still wait a lifetime, just to see her again."

    *

    Ivan was never allowed to be anything other than perfect, even if he, himself, knew he was beyond salvation from the start.

    An exploration on repression, guilt, self loathing, and a love that refuses to die, refuses to even be called love.

    Ivan could only ever adore a woman that didn't exist.

    Summary

    Till had pegged Ivan as a yoga guy. He must go crazy zen before work every day to show up like he does and stay that way even through overtime.
