Tomorrow and tomorrow
by withoutwords
The walk back to school is long. His head and his feet and his bag feel heavier, and his skin burns with the thought of people staring. Strangers and students and friends all staring, like he has it printed big and bold across his forehead. Homo. Home Wrecker. Loser.

Welcome to Night Vale
the flood
by ell (amywaited)
“You’re beautiful,” he whispers, deep into Cecil’s skin like he can implant the idea and let it grow from the inside out, blooming bright and bloody. The clouds in his skin run away from him, Carlos realises, like they can’t let themselves get caught. “You are,” Cecil tells him, sounding like he’s speaking from several mouths. His eyes blink at different times, one purple and the other a smoky grey. Carlos can’t choose one to look at. “I hope we have an infinity.” “Everywhere is a liminal space,” Carlos says. “We’re on the brink of forever. And you’re beautiful.”

Welcome to Night Vale
till the future dares
by ell (amywaited)
Cecil says, “I was waiting for you.” It’s so casually said, breathed out amongst every other thought congregating between them, that Carlos almost misses it at first. He almost misses the genuineness with which Cecil speaks, the certainty with which he thinks, and the meaning hidden so deeply behind those words When he does recognise it for what it is, his breath rushes out in a huff. He says, “thank you,” and the words will never, not ever, be enough. Not in the face of the universe, not when Cecil could have everything and nothing, and Carlos only has so much to give him.

Welcome to Night Vale
just so
by ell (amywaited)
Carlos stays quiet for a while. The sepia outlook on his world gets ever darker, but Cecil remains at his desk, watching him with eyes that are so full of emotion that Carlos is surprised they don’t overflow. “We can categorise love as a chemical reaction. When one falls in love, or is in love, their brain releases chemicals to stimulate those feelings.” “But what is love to you?” Cecil asks. He says it quietly, like the words are far too big to fit comfortably in the house. Even so, they press at the walls like they’re determined to get out. Carlos can feel his body straining to contain them. “I guess it’s a behaviour. A belief. A dedication to someone. Wanting them, needing them,” he answers. “A learned behaviour, sure. But one that we can actively choose. I choose to love you. I choose to wake up every day, loving you. I choose no one else.”
