“We need to start keeping a spreadsheet,” Chenle mutters, and it comes out muffled. “How else am I supposed to know who’s sleeping with who.” 

“A spreadsheet?” Jaemin repeats, delighted, and mercifully freezes his movements. “Does that mean you wanna be on the spreadsheet with me? Does that turn you on?”

Chenle sighs, giving up on hiding from him. “The way you get from point A to point B fascinates me. This is why people call us gay online.”

It’s the same feeling he has now, metallic and sharp coating the back of his throat; the maybe, maybe, maybe of not knowing what happens next.

He swallows, drops his forehead onto his steering wheel, breathes. His head’s a riot of thoughts, of emotions, memories from his various recent encounters mixing and matching, all of them too fast, too slippery for him to hold onto. When Theo came to Beacon Hills with the Dread Doctors he’d had a plan, resources; he knew he was going to war. This time he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing.

Donghyuck doesn’t wait for Mark to feed him. He grabs the cherry from Mark’s fingers and tugs it off the stem with his teeth, getting some juice on his fingers. He’s making a mess again, sticky from head to toe in a mix of saltwater, sunscreen, soda, and cherry juice.

Mark doesn’t look grossed out at all, though. He sits clean and pretty underneath Donghyuck, his eyes two black circles that can’t meet Donghyuck’s, but can’t look away from him, either.

He’s looking at Donghyuck’s fingers now, at the stem between the tips, at the juice dripping down the back of his hand. Mark stares in silence and swallows like he wants to lean closer and find out tongue-first what Donghyuck’s skin tastes like.

“I did it because you two have a weird thing.”

Junhui frowns. “No we don’t.”

“Yeah, you do,” Joshua slurs. “You both talk to everyone else but you don’t talk to each other.”

Theo smirks up at the ceiling, but even the edges of his amusement feel spiked, and poisonous. “You’re already a pariah,” he tells Nolan, and catches Nolan’s sharp, startled inhale. “It’s not like you’ve got much farther you can fall. You might as well take advantage, and say what’s actually on your mind.”

A few seconds of silence drag past, Nolan clearly debating, but when he speaks, there isn’t the judgement, or resentment, that Theo had been expecting. Instead there’s just a tired, quiet sort of understanding, which; Theo flinches, feeling it like a knife between his ribs.

“You did that on purpose,” he concludes softly. “Making Liam angry with you. You did that on purpose.”

Theo can’t help it; he has to curl back up, and over the vulnerable core of himself, his shoulders rounding and his back hunching. “Yeah, well,” he replies eventually. “It’s better for everyone if he stays that way.”

He presses the phone to his ear as he keeps walking – he tries to think about the layout of the building, the winding alleys that surround it. He’s limping slightly, but he can’t pinpoint to the origin of it.

“Hello?”

Kim swallows against the words he has to say, heart beating wildly in his chest. “They have Kenta.”

Hyuck?” Chenle cries. “You’re both here?”

He backs up to let two people in, throwing Jisung an apologetic look over his shoulder. They don’t make it far, though, both freezing in the entryway when they notice Jisung lingering awkwardly.

“Um,” says the guy who spoke before. “Who’s this?”

The other gives Jisung a careful once-over, and his mouth slowly falls open. Before Jisung, Chenle, or the first guy can speak, he goes, “Oh my god. I knew it.”

Chenle groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead. “Renjun, don’t—”

“Sungie,” Jaemin’s voice breaks him out of his thoughts, sweet like cotton candy and incredibly close as he leans over the coffee table, one of his arms stretched out to squeeze Jisung’s right knee gently. “Moping around all day won’t fix anything.”

“There’s nothing to fix,” Jisung mumbles, his voice thick when it rolls out of his tongue quietly.

His throat is starting to hurt, his neck getting tense with the effort of holding back tears. The way Jaemin is looking at him doesn’t make things any easier. He’s smiling softly, lips pressed tight together and the corners of his eyes tugged down. It takes Jisung back to the day he buried himself between the sheets of his bed in his family house after he saw Mark and Donghyuck kissing for the first time, summer sky blooming orange around them in the front porch like the beautiful colors of one of Monet’s paintings.
