    Summary

    There are things that Liam can never say.

    Mostly because no one’s there to say them to.

    But also because it’s no good, putting it into words. Too fucking embarrassing, really. He isn’t stupid. He knows what it looks like. How much people pity him for hopelessly pining for Noel, who seems so well-adjusted and goes about his day without having to think about Liam twice before breakfast.

    Summary

    They want to do a lie detector, Debbie had said, not even looking up from her laptop. Liam had looked over at her, and shrugged.

    Why not? he’d asked.

    Are you fucking insane? she’d said. The amount of shit you’ve done.

    So? Liam had tossed back. ‘S all out there already, innit? Not like I keep any secrets.

    Well. There is the one.

    Summary

    “i love you,” the kid said. “i wanna be like you when i’m older, too.”

    the words made noel feel a certain way. not a way that he could put words to then. he was still young, he didn’t have the knowledge of what it was. but growing up, he realized what that feeling was a few days after his twenty fourth birthday, when he got the news that liam was fronting a band.

    the feeling was a deep, pooling ache of dread.

    but at that moment, fifteen, noel just grinned. “then i’d better start showing you the good music, huh?”

    Summary

    If Wilhelm wants to make August's life a living hell, then two can play at that game. He'll just ruin the one thing Wilhelm cares about.


    “Hey.”

    A calm voice behind Simon interrupts him on his way to math. As he turns and sees August, he immediately turns back and continues walking.

    “Hey, hold on,” August calls, “You didn’t respond to me last night.”

    Simon stops walking and shuts his eyes, considering whether he should even engage right now. He whips around and faces August.

    “You’re right. I didn’t. So why do you think I would want to talk to you now?” he snaps.

    August raises his eyebrows and gives that unsettling grin. “Calm down. I just want to talk to you,” he looks around, “Maybe somewhere more private?”

    The corner of Simon’s lip curls up in disgust. His gut is telling him to run as far away from him as possible and tell Wille his cousin is being a creep. But he also knows that Wilhelm wants nothing to do with him. He knows that following August would probably piss Wilhelm off, and that is all the reason he needs to start walking towards an empty spot of the courtyard.

    Summary

    Liam has always loved Noel.

    It’s the opposite people are really torn up about. Liam’s almost sure Noel loves him. Noel’s almost sure he hates Liam. Because whatever the feeling is, it’s too self-indulgent for Noel to really be able to call it love.

    That doesn’t mean he was going to leave his baby brother alone, though. He doesn’t think anything could ever make him do something like that.
