subtle change, shorter days (dead eyed, dead weight) by playingwiththeboysisagayanthem

Summary
“ The silence fell back in, a sort of comfortable understanding settling between them both. The only sound for a moment was the crickets in the Texas night air.
Carole took another toke of the joint as it was passed back into her hands and on the exhale, she coughed a little and then settled into pause before breaking the silence—
“You’d be a very pretty boy,” she said quietly.
Pete didn’t respond. Just curled into his knees.
“A very pretty boy,” she repeated in a whisper, rumination in her tone, before taking another drag.
“
————————
aka, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell has gone through a lot of names to find his. This is that story.

Summary
“ Slider tumbled aside, still twitching as he fell on his back, sprawled on the mattress, all lax and languid.
Mav leaned over to kiss him, slick still on his lips, and Slider moaned at the taste of himself. “Hi,” Mav whispered against his lips, grinning.
“Hi, babygirl,” Slider panted, grasping at Mav’s shoulders and pulling at his jacket. He hadn’t had time to shed a single layer before Slider mounted him.
“Already?” Mav asked, sitting up to yank his jacket and his shirt off, throwing them somewhere behind him.
“Uh huh,” Slider nodded, eyes going hazy again. “
—————-
aka, Slider and Mav are still new to their relationship when they spend their first of Slider’s heats together. It’s not exactly what Mav expected, but he’s certainly not complaining.

Summary
“ Tonight, he stared at it in the form of the wheezing echoing from Doc’s chest as he lay at his side. Content, if not for the cold sweat on his forehead and the furrow in his brow. His lungs whistled with every exhale, Doc’s body fighting itself and tearing him apart in the process. Shredding his insides to ribbons.
In the morning, he’d wake up coughing, spit up wads of mucus and blood into the chamber basin, then he would groom himself into the respectable sort you’d never suspect was a dying man in disguise if you didn’t know where to look. He would laugh off Wyatt’s concern and growl if he laid a caring hand on him. He would stand tall, consumption be damned, powering himself on spite alone.
And Wyatt would be forced to watch, all the while knowing the truth behind the mask.“
——————-
aka, Wyatt ponders the cruelty of life, illness, and the weight of loving someone with your whole being whilst Doc sleeps, entirely unaware of the other man’s musings.

Summary
“ Mav blinked, half-asleep and coming back out of the fog and into awareness at the sensation of fingers stroking through his hair. His sleep-heavy eyes opened and found Ice sat on the edge of the bed, half-undressed and smiling down at him. It sent butterflies rushing through his chest, same as it had all those years ago for the very first time. He smiled back, leaning into the soft touch like a cat seeking affection.
“Hi,” Ice whispered into the air, like the quiet solace was fragile and breakable. Mav always loved him for his gentlest sides, and so his smile widened.
“Hi,” he whispered back, hoarse and sluggish. “
————————
aka, snapshots into Icemav’s life together in the quiet moments.

Summary
“ “If I had to describe Pete Mitchell in one word?” The musician paused in thought after repeating back the question. He seemed to stare into the distance again, searching for the right thing to say. Perhaps remembering a time long before our meeting. Contemplative, he tapped his foot in a rhythmic pattern, ever the musician.
“Dangerous,” he finally said, his stare far away from that moment with me, his mind in a completely different place and time, his voice soft and sorrowful, “Pete Mitchell was dangerous.” “
————————
aka, Tom Kazansky is the frontman for an up-and-coming rock band in the mid-eighties when his band’s manager drags in a songwriter named Pete Mitchell to work on their next album. Today, I interviewed the man himself on how it happened and where it went from there, through all the good and the bad, for my thesis piece on the tragedy of rock-n-roll.

“So,” Heather says, in between bites of her salad. “There’s a party at Brimborn on Saturday.”
Billy frowns. “The fuck is Brimborn?”
It’s times like these that Heather’s reminded that Billy hasn’t lived in Hawkins his whole life. He’s only been here for about eight months, but he’d made his place in her friend group so perfectly it feels like he’s always been here.
