Summary
"Kath, I'm not too sure about this..."
The building is much more intimidating now that they're right up on it. Katherine is practically buzzing with excitement; she had been the one to suggest this, of course.
Jack is just along for the ride.
Or maybe he's collateral damage?
Either way, now that he's here, he's less than eager to walk through the boarded-up front door.

“You are such a damn idiot,” Racetrack says as he smacks the back of Jack’s head.
And, okay, Jack knows he is, but Race didn’t have to say it.
“Can ya shut up about it?” Jack asks with a deep frown, shrugging the blond’s arm off from around his shoulders. “I already kickin’ myself; I don’t need’a hear it from you, too!”
“I can’t believe it,” Racer laughs, and throws his arm up. “Ya just lost your shot with Davey!”

Summary
“Hey, Red– Settle a bet.”
One grande iced white chocolate mocha. All he wanted was one grande iced white chocolate mocha.
The voice belongs to his barista, high pitched and light, and when Albert slowly turns around to face the counter, the blonde is smirking at him. It’s a little intimidating. He’s leaning forward, braced on his palms, his blue eyes look anything but innocent.
Blue eyes. Blue eyes, and a gorgeous face, and a soft smattering of freckles and beauty marks, and– Albert DaSilva is starstruck.

Summary
Jack watches from the outskirts of the makeshift dance floor for a while, craning his neck to watch David; he’s right next to the staircase, so his view of David is sometimes blocked by drunk couples trying to find an empty space to get busy, but for the most part, Jack has his eyes on his boyfriend. He’s not trying to be overprotective, or trying to be a creep. He wants David to have fun, and so far, David looks like that’s what he’s doing– his hands are in the air and he’s been integrated into this little group of people Jack recognizes from David’s study group– so Jack knows that his boyfriend is in good hands.
But David doesn’t drink. And Jack knows there might be a reason why.
***
or, David has feelings, and Jack wants him to feel better.

Summary
It’s a wonder they’re even able to do this. This is their home. They moved in yesterday, after they bought it. No more rent. No more landlords. No longer are they stuck in a cramped apartment; no, because now, they have a house, and a garage, and a driveway, and their own backyard with a fence. They have flower gardens in the front, a two-story out in the suburbs, and things are looking up.
And it all starts by hanging a pride flag on the front porch and covering a wall– their wall– with chalkboard paint.
***
Or, Jack and David are finally moving up in the world. They're dumbasses in love.

Summary
With a deep sigh, David glances up to the ceiling, gnawing on his bottom lip for a moment. “I don’t think that Jack and I will see it in our lifetime,” He says softly, carefully, “but… perhaps things will change in yours.”
“They ain’t gonna be able to keep us hidden forever,” Jack explains with a soft grin, laced with decades of exhaustion from doing just that: hiding. “There’s too many of us. And if there’s lots of us now, then who’s to say there ain’t gonna be more in the future?”
***
Or, David Jacobs and Jack Kelly are nearing their mid-forties now, and they have wisdom to share.

Don't do this to yourself. You deserve this. You're struggling. You're a disappointment. You know things will get better. You're nothing but a fake. Grades aren't going to matter if you get your degree. Drop out.
Drop out.
Drop out.
David pulls at his hair and curls in on himself and prays that it's going to pass easily.

Summary
He thinks back to the past few weeks— David grabbing his waist while they were cooking last Friday and how he couldn’t look Jack in the eye after that, David being in a sour mood whenever Jack would come home from a date and-slash-or walk of shame, David staring at Jack constantly and denying it all— and it makes sense.
It makes sense.
***
Jack and David clear the air.
