Summary
After knowing each other for almost nine years, Derek and Stiles finally start dating........much to Scott's chagrin.
***
During a commercial Derek turned to Stiles. “I’ve been thinking. We should go see a movie…?” Stiles blinked at Derek.
“What like Gorillas versus Zombies?” Stiles asked.
“No, like-I mean… See a movie…” Derek said. Stiles raised his eyebrow at him. “I was thinking we could go to the Nebula,” Derek plowed on. The Nebula was a theater that showed classic movies. “They are showing a bunch of Hitchcock films…”
“You mean like, a date?” Stiles asked. Derek nodded once after a moment.
“If you want to,” he said. Stiles blinked again.
“Why?” Stiles asked sitting up a little straighter.
“Because. I like you,” Derek said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Arthur usually holds most of the power in the bedroom, but, every so often, he likes to switch things up and hand control over to Eames. To help him relax, Eames likes to edge him close to orgasm over and over again until he begs. It’s a lot for Arthur to handle.

“I kind of have a stupid question.”
“What is it, Craig?” he says, but he is still snuggled up to the side of him, not looking at him.
“This… is… um,” he feels his mouth going dry. It’s so, so, so dumb. Obviously, it’s real. Obviously, they are not just pretending, but, still. “I really like being your boyfriend,” he says instead.
There’s a pause.
“That’s not really a question, though, right?”

Where do you get your best ideas? Your ego would have you think that it's all you, of course. The Muses know otherwise - not that they want you to know that.

'He's a little young for you,' she repeated, and Jack couldn't help but laugh.
'You have no idea,' he said, under his breath, before he turned up the wattage of his smile and aimed it right at her. 'He's very mature for his age,' he confided. 'He keeps me in line.'
She lifted her chin and peered at Jack appraisingly. 'Something tells me that's no easy task,' she retorted, and Jack laughed loud enough to make Ianto stir.
'You've got my number,' Jack said, beaming at her. 'He's a very patient and determined man.'

Summary
For the past few weeks, Kon had been kissing his best friend. Not just kissing. Hand holding, boning down, texting a ‘Morning :)’ even though he was well aware Tim wouldn’t be awake for hours.
And to Kon, that pretty much meant they were dating. Should mean they were dating. Had to. Right? But Tim has never said anything.
Never said the word ‘date’ or ‘boyfriend’ or the dreaded ‘R’ that punctuated the phrase ‘DTR.’
Or - That story where Kon gets Tim to have ‘Define the Relationship’ DTR conversation.

Bookmarker's Notes
Kon flipped on his bed and buried deep into the covers. How was that different than what they always did? It just sounded like a list of activities for bros. Some sorta fraternity recruitment pamphlet.
But bros don’t kiss.
(...)
“Wait, Tim, Oh my god,” Kon grabbed at Tim’s shoulders to stop him from flailing, “what do you mean? Do you want to date me?”Tim looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world, and like maybe he was, but also he also super needed to hear Tim say it. “Of course, I want to date you. I already thought we were dating! What did you think this was?”
Kon shrugged and mumbled, “Uh bros with benefits?” And just like that Tim punched him in the gut. Kon refused to let go and held Tim firmly in place. The crowd didn’t even seem to notice, Kon realized. Man, Gotham must be a hell hole. “Wrong wording! I got it. I didn’t like the phrase either.”
“Then why did you say it!”
“Because I was being dumb,” Kon admitted.
“Then stop being dumb!”
“I’ve been sulking for the last week because I wasn't sure if we were dating or not.”

Summary
“I’m afraid I don’t understand what you’re asking, Ron,” Blaise said, leaning forward further and brushing their noses together, maintaining eye contact.
“Are you, erm, interested in me, as well? Y’know, romantically,” Ron clarified, voice dropping lower in volume.
“Do you want me to be..?” Blaise spoke in a sultry tone. “We are supposed ‘enemies’ you know... Slytherin and Gryffindor; an age-old rivalry. Descendants of blood purists and a descendant of blood traitors... your family may not like me..” He kept his voice carefully low and seductive, but a part of Blaise felt his own insecurity bleeding into what were meant to be playful counters.
Slytherins are cunning but cowardly, so would Blaise prod Ron under the guise of flirting in order to protect himself. He didn’t think Ron was like that — like how Blaise himself used to be — but it was his first instinct to try and make Ron back out.
Do you think I’m worth it?

Bookmarker's Notes
He’s afraid of Adam knowing. He's afraid Adam doesn't feel the same. He’s afraid that Adam does feel the same, but that his love is just as sharp as any other piece of him. Adam deserves better than that. He deserves not to hurt anymore, at the very least. He deserves not to have Ronan hurt him.
(...)
Ronan is never thinking clearly around Adam.
And it’s not like Adam is thinking clearly either. Adam can be an idiot, which is the second most disastrous thing Ronan fears he might spit out one day, but at least they could come back from that. They’ve called each other worse. They’ve never called each other singular, irreplaceable. Ronan doesn’t know what to do with the twist in his gut when he simply touches Adam’s hand, or the anticipatory pre-withdrawal jitter he gets when he thinks about Adam going away to college. Because Adam is going to leave and this thing is going to end before it’s started, so what is the point? What is the point of I love you?
The point is that Ronan does love Adam, even though he doesn't know how to prove it to him or make Adam accept it. He wishes he knew how. Sometimes when Ronan wishes things they come true, so he makes a new wish with every breath. In the meantime, he’s going to take whatever it is Adam will give him until this thing runs out. He’ll happily, greedily take waking up with Adam’s lips against his shoulder, breath warm on his skin, his very presence throwing every part of Ronan into chaos.
