Summary
Despite himself, Jean started to smile. Kevin was a startlingly fast learner. It'd been only a couple of months since they started these secret lessons, Kevin finding him in the quiet hours of the night once, maybe twice a week, and already he was stringing together sentences of his own creation. Kevin's voice took on a different tone in French; it reminded him of caramel, slow and sticky.
----

Summary
There were no tears shed for Riko Moriyama. His only direct relative by blood, Ichirou, had slipped quietly out of West Virginia on a red-eye flight after Riko's death, citing other business matters to take care of. That left Kevin the closest thing to family he'd ever had in the sparse crowd of people that attended the wake.
----
Kevin attends Riko's funeral and remembers.

Summary
Andrew didn't hesitate to punch Kevin in the face. The taller man fell back into the dirt with a grunt, blinking back stars.
"You're only alive because I allow it. You tell me what to do or say that word to me one more time, I'll gut you like a pig."
Kevin tried to steady himself, putting a hand up in surrender. "I wasn't—I wasn't speaking to you. I wasn't telling you to kneel. I meant, that's Neil," he coughed, nodding towards the body. "His name's Neil. We knew each other. At Evermore."

Five years after the end of the world, two ex-Ravens stumble into Foxhole camp.

Summary
In West Virginia, when Kevin was allowed outside of the Nest, he loved when it snowed. The sight of soft white flurries calmed his mind, silencing any racing thoughts as his eyes tracked the dizzying dance of snowflakes as they floated to the ground.
Here in South Carolina, Kevin stared at the slumbering forms of his roommates as he tried to ignore the aching pain in his left hand, timing his breaths to the slow rise and fall of their chests.----
The first snowfall makes memories rise to the surface while Kevin deals with the echoes of an old injury.

Summary
"You almost killed me taking your pants off," Adam gasped out between laughs.
Ronan felt his dick twitch at the soft sounds Adam made.
"Well, I didn't," he said, crossing his arms.
"You didn't," Adam nodded. A smile ghosted across his lips. "Good boy."
----
Ronan doesn't love that Adam has decided to live in the smallest apartment possible, but it might come with some perks.

Summary
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?***
maybe they can outrun it, if he just keeps driving

Summary
RONAN (and noah's :)!) FIVE STEP PLAN FOR SUCCESS:
step one: break into student center. get parrish to talk.
step two: ???
step three: declare undying love
step four:
sex?datestep five: profit
“You know what, I take it back. I think you'll play a great idiot.” Henry chimed, peeking over shoulders.
(Which was how Ronan settled he was surrounded by absolute dick heads and losers, and also assholes, and maybe Noah didn't count because when Ronan told him, hey, I kind of used your identity and student number to get into a guy's pants, Noah nodded with a quick, cool, and went back to the task at hand—you know, like a fucking grownup.)

Summary
“Sorry,” Kevin whispers. There’s no risk of anyone overhearing them, yet it feels like a thing that should not be acknowledged out loud. He doesn’t even know what exactly he’s apologizing for. For making Jean uncomfortable, maybe. Or for reacting to Jean’s warm body when it’s not his right to, for a myriad of reasons. Partly for making Jean aware of the issue at all—partly for not figuring out earlier just what exactly Jean can reduce him to with a low murmur and a bunch of playful touches.
“It is fine,” Jean reassures, because he’s Jean, the kindest person Kevin has ever met. Just as softly, he adds, “It happens.”
or, In the Nest, Kevin bends the rules a little too often.
