Summary
“So what’s the issue then?” Xie Lian asks.
Feng Xin takes a deep breath in, lets it out, and then breathes in again. “What I’m trying to say is, I think I’m homophobic.”
Or, Mu Qing starts going out on dates, and Feng Xin starts slowly losing his mind.

Summary
Keith is an engineering student with no theatre experience, determined to stage Hamlet just the way he always wanted. The university's Shakespeare Society, fresh off the back of a humiliating last performance, is his perfect opportunity. Lance McClain is a seasoned veteran of the stage and his lead actor. They have... differing creative visions. Can they work together in time for opening night?

Summary
Keith is trying to make himself smaller, to bury his head deeper in his knees, and Lance’s heart freezes in his chest. Anger dissipating like an exploded firework, Lance lets his hand fall limply to his side, mind blurring with static. When he tries to speak, nothing comes out but a choked noise, so he tries again.
“Keith,” he breathes. “Keith I’m not going to hurt you.”
(Keith has an abusive past, but with time and care Lance helps him become accustomed to positive touch.)

Summary
It’s not the first time Keith has thought that his first impression of Lance McClain may be wrong. This is, however, the longest it’s held. The boy gives just enough glimpses of something else, something a little smarter, a little kinder than he seems, every now and then. But he always snatches them away, shoving them under the rug of his bravado before Keith can follow the trail too far.
or: 5 times Keith thinks about telling Lance how he feels. And 1.

Summary
Accompanied by the scattered applause throughout the ballroom, Keith lifts a slim brown hand in his own and presses a lingering kiss to the palm.
"It’s good to see you, Lance,” he says.
His voice is raw; his face feels naked. Keith’s known for his poker face, but here, in front of Lance, he has no self control. His emotions are spilling over onto his face like tears, too strong to be constrained.
He looks into Lance’s eyes and that suddenly doesn’t seem like such a bad thing.
“Yeah,” Lance whispers, a gentle and devastating smile on his face. He reaches a hand up — soft, Keith notes — and tucks some hair behind Keith’s ear. His fingers trace a gentle path across Keith’s jaw; his eyes flick across his face but inevitably come back to meet Keith’s own, the blue in them impossibly seeming warm toned with the full fond force of Lance’s gaze.
“It’s good to see you, too,” Lance says.
Has Keith mentioned yet that he loves him?

After almost two years of unbearable distance, Keith and Lance find themselves at a ball, together.
