    Summary

    The mailman’s cheekbones pinken just a hint, brows pushing up his forehead, and he huffs out a short little laugh that absolutely does not make Gavin’s stomach flip and plummet to his galoshes.

    “French press, huh? Consider me interested,” he replies warmly, and Gavin holds his breath.

    “Awesome,” he squeaks out, and spins on his heel.
    --

    Or, a stray kitten finally gives Gavin the excuse to talk to the mailman he's been crushing on for two years. Good things ensue.

    Summary

    Nines has been a deviant for a year, but sometimes he feels no more alive than he did the day he was activated.

    (Or, five times Nines learned something new about himself and one time he learned something he already sort of knew.)

    Summary

    This is the first time he's touched Connor like this. It's not a quick clap on the back, or a hug that lasted over two minutes only to never be discussed. Hank's thumbs caress Connor's cheekbones, under his eyes. Hank's own eyes don’t look anywhere but Connor's face and, for that, Connor is thankful. He's naked enough under Hank's touch. It's completely disarmed him. Connor's cold and calculated exterior falls away.

    “I don't—” Hank starts, his right hand sliding down to Connor's neck. “I'm… I'm not hurting you?” Connor's LED shifts from red to yellow.
