Summary
David's leaning up against Mush, staring at Jack, cradling his secret close to his chest. Close to forgetting about it entirely, because when he’s with Jack, he doesn’t feel like he’s playing at anything — at striking, at being a newsie, at being a boy. He just does it, like it’s as easy as it is for Jack. Effortless; natural.
(Or: David Jacobs learns how to be who he wants to — in life, love, and labor rights.)

Summary
"Do you think it's someone messing with me? I mean, I don't know what anyone would see in me, so it's definitely a possibility."
"It doesn't look like it's just someone messing with you. I mean, it looks like whoever wrote this poured their heart out." he paused. "And, there's a lot of reasons why someone'd like you, Davey." he said, setting the letter down on the bed beside him as he began to run his hands through his hair. "I mean, you're funny and you're sweet. You're awkward, but in a cute way, you know? You're always organized and reliable, at least you are for me. Whenever I ask you for help with homework, you're there for me."
Jack wasn't afraid to say stuff like that because he knew how oblivious Davey was. He'd been flirting with him for years now, but Davey never seemed to realize it. It started out subtle, like little compliments or buying his food, but nowadays it'd become clearly obvious to seemingly everyone besides Davey. He's always just assumed this was how friends were with each other. He's had friends before, and he's never done any of this before with them, but I dunno. Davey's an idiot, I guess.
or; Davey can't figure out who his secret admirer is.

To our future by antisocial_ninja

Summary
What’re yous doin’ ‘ere?” The newsie questions after a moment, louder this time, and Davey approaches, getting a clearer view of the other in the low light. The boy is sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall, cap resting on a knee he’s pulled to his chest. His face is cast in darkness, shadows clinging to his expression until it is twisted into something horrifyingly vulnerable.
For a moment, Davey can’t find the words to respond with, mind tripping over itself at the sight of Jack Kelly, one of his best friends, looking more afraid than he’s ever seen him. Eventually, Davey tips his head towards the other and says, “I wanted to make sure our great union president is ready for tomorrow.”

why must everything be so confusing? by antisocial_ninja

Summary
The important part is the fact that they had made a promise, swore to each other, a damn oath, not to lie nor hide things from each other. The two of them were supposed to tell each other everything. And sure, Sarah may have kept a few secrets from Davey over the years such as who stole her last piece of chocolate or the real names of her crushes. However, Sarah had never acted so blatantly secretive as Davey had been doing for the past couple months. So obviously hiding something.
---------------
Sarah Jacobs has no idea why her sister is acting so strange. And she is starting to get annoyed that Davey is keeping things from her.Sorry if this is OOC I have no idea what Sarah is supposed to act like so I just sort of created her character.

Pretty.
That’s what David Jacobs thought as he saw himself in the mirror. He twirled around, giggling as the skirt spun around him.

Summary
Cause Davey knows the world, no matter how different Jack’s or anyone else’s situation was to his. Knows that the likelihood of their success was near zero, that they would get crushed before they even began. And he can’t face that, can’t face his friends bruised and bloody with nothing to show. Can’t face his mother with empty pockets and see her face shatter and split with grief. Can’t face his failures of being the son he so desperately wants to prove he can be.

Summary
Davey is drowning. Beating heart, a frantic drum pounding against his aching ribs. Shallow breaths become harder and harder to gulp down. Head spinning round and round, dazed and painful. A wave of nausea washes up inside and he leans over, clenching his jaw and forcing it back down.
Jack is confused. Very, very confused. If you asked Jack the top three most confusing moments of his life, he’d say that this experience was rivaling the number two spot against the time when Race, Albert, and Crutchie had....
Davey is not having a good time. Jack is confusion, if that ones Davey and the other ones Davey who's Mouth, who's Sarah, Jacobs's explain!!!! Les may have just got his first big bro secret but he will do anything to keep it, even if he has to eat vegetables.

Summary
“Mouth! I didn’t know you’se got out durin’ the day” he says eagerly around his cigar, tucking the newspaper under his arm.
Davey swallows down, mind a muddled mess of thoughts and fears rising up, and before he can catch up and untangle his thoughts, he stumbles out a greeting.
“Hey, Race”
Now Race wasn’t one to be quiet, he was mostly the opposite, barely able to stop himself from talking a mile a minute. But here he stood, stunned into silence after witnessing Mouth speak for the first time since they met. He recovers somewhat quickly, grin lighting his face turning to fully face the other boy.Davey finds his voice

Summary
And now, his dream happened, he had lived it. Had felt alive for the first time in so long, years. How is he supposed to begin to go back to his old life, to the pain and shame he felt living as a mimicry of himself. Tears have gathered in his eyes at the memories and the old curl of pain settles into his chest. Heaving a sigh he remembers how Jack, Crutchie, and Race had all accepted him as one of them, almost like a brother, the identity he so desperately wanted. He hopes to push away the hurt, but it just persists, and as he begins to dress himself in his old clothes his hands begin to shake.
Davey wants to live as a boy but life is complicated.

Summary
This was bad. Very bad. Hair lays scattered around Davey’s feet, long, dark, locks strewn on the dirty wooden planks. Davey’s heart beats loudly inside, an overwhelming pounding that drowns out the sound of the evening crowd rushing around outside. Davey swallows down the hysterical laugh that threatens to spill out, shaking hands grip the cold sewing shears, reaching up and snipping off another long strand of hair. An excitement that Davey has never felt before begins to stir inside, mixing with the lingering fear, growing with each cut.
Davey is a boy and he wants to explore the world as one, even for a night.
