too scared and unprepared (you would never ever hurt me)

by chameleonsd1sh

His mind is racing, a rush of echoing sound and thoughts and he pushes it down, squeezing his eyes harder and gritting his teeth. He’s rocking, slightly, back and forth, and his jaw twitches as he notices and forces himself to stop. Stop it. He inhales deeply. Stop. Exhales.It’s too early for this shit.___ it's october 1987, and mike has his first meltdown in years.

Just Freaks, Like You, and Me (I Know a Place)

by braigwen_s

Or: Espresso Cookie decides it’s finally time for him to get out of his dark laboratory and join some friends for a party. Obviously, things go wrong, and obviously, Espresso decides he hates it.
