    Summary

    Todd's life was spent up until Welton in hand-me-downs, a collection of clothing passed down from Jeffery, a hapless reminder of his inadequacy in his parents' eyes. Consequently, it was unusual for him to wear clothing that smelled like him; it was always Jeffery's cheap spray or his father's pricey cologne wafting around him like the warm hugs he wasn't used to receiving.

    or

    Todd Anderson and his experiences with Neil stealing his clothes.

    Summary

    "It had to have been his dad. It had to. Neil wouldn't have—he wouldn't—" His words were cut off by another wail. He felt like he was burning, drowning, suffocating, his skin on fire and his face wet and his lungs refusing to draw in any more air.

    -

    Neil is dead. Todd doesn't know if he'll ever be able to feel alright again.

    Summary

    "Todd’s face flushed bright red as his eyes snapped fully open. He sat up in bed, turning to look at Neil with panic in his eyes. His roommate stared back, confused.

    No. Fucking. Way.

    He did not just have a dream where he was kissing Neil Perry. There was no way."

    ---

    or:

    Todd Anderson did NOT have a crush on Neil Perry, and anyone who told you otherwise was insane. He seriously didn't, if only he could forget about all these stupid feelings he was having every time his best friend brushed his arm or got a tad bit too close.

    If they didn't subside soon, he would seriously begin thinking he was insane.

    Summary

    "You don't usually work here, do you?"

    Neil is sure he's never seen him before. He would have remembered his eyes.

    The stranger's eyes were very pretty.

    In which Neil is a medical student turned actor on the sly and Todd is the newest, slightly incompetent barista at his local coffee shop.

    Summary

    “When you pray, what do you pray for?” Neil asked suddenly, resting his hand on his knee, staring back at his side of the room. This was the most they had spoken since Todd had first started having his nightmares. (Which, coincidentally, was around the time he figured out his feelings for Neil.)

    “I pray for God to crush me. Break me into little pieces, and start all over again.”

    Or, Todd Anderson discovers he has feelings for his roommate, which promptly tears him apart.
