Summary
Richie does something terminally reckless, Stan has had enough. He offers Richie a chance to talk without jokes or Voices getting in the way.
"Suddenly this doesn't feel like a condemnation or a dismissal. This feels like an olive branch, a hand extended and if it isn't fucking terrifying Richie guesses it wouldn't be worth the effort of reaching for.
Stan's steps are getting fainter and it's this, not the idea of explaining himself, that heralds the bad feelings rising in him again, so Richie does what comes naturally. He forgoes thought and lets his body lead the charge. His animal instinct wants to follow Stan so he does."

Summary
They’re both tactile drunks and Alejandro seems to hardly notice the way he props an arm on his thigh to balance when he feels like leaning backward might be the wrong choice to make but leaning forwards is no longer an option he has the skill for. No words are exchanged as Alejandro nudges the glass of water toward him. He drinks the rest of it in one fell swoop.
This time, the finger wiping water from his lips isn’t his own, but Alejandro’s thumb. Taking care of him. Rudy turns his face into the other man’s neck, murmuring his thanks.
He must be drunker than he'd thought, because for a second he thinks Alejandro shudders against him.
---
Rodolfo and Alejandro discover that flirting with the homies can come with the reward of sleeping with the homies, and maybe even a little more on top.

Summary
Jayce’s eyes drifted to how Viktor stood with his cane, something that gave his academic presence a sharp style he thought suited his partner.
“And I guess you can’t ‘accidentally’ knock a student with your cane either.” The words tumbled out of his mouth before Jayce could think.
Viktor turned around with a raised eyebrow and humoured look. “No, though I think it’d be warranted when it comes to transphobes.”
~ ~ ~
After seeing how Viktor handles transphobia at the academy, Jayce considers how to navigate expressing his feelings while also not making a big deal out of coming out. So he invites Viktor to the forge.
