    Summary

    "Yeah, well," Ben ran a hand through his disheveled hair, which he now realized probably looked like he'd stuck his finger in an electrical socket and then tried to fix it with a leaf blower, "jet lag's kicking my ass. I mean, um, sorry for cursing." He mentally kicked himself. Real smooth, Ben. Swear at the cute barista, that'll make a great first impression.

    Summary

    “Shit,” he says, more for himself than his friends. “I can’t lie.”

    “Mmh,” Tommy hums in agreement. “Facts.”

    Ben laughs, a little hysterical, a little angry. “I mean literally, dumbass. I literally can’t lie.”

    Summary

    Carlos flinches, the remnants of a faint smile faltering at the edges. “Jannik—”
    “Enjoy your win, Carlos. You earned it.”
    He dresses quickly, movements clipped, damp skin protesting against fabric. When he zips up the bag, his fingers tremble. He hopes Carlos doesn’t notice.
    “You don’t have to pretend we’re friends,” he says. “We’re not. Remember?”
    He walks past him without waiting for a reply, shoulders stiff, head bowed. Leaves Carlos standing in the silence, holding nothing but the echo of his name.

    Defeat he can live with. Ache he cannot. After Paris, Jannik tries to bury both. But silence frays into longing, and every path — the court, the crowd, the quiet of his hotel room — seems to lead him back to Carlos.

    Summary

    “Mark,” Donghyuck tries again, “what's for breakfast?”

    “Toast,” Mark says pointedly.

     

    or, Mark takes Donghyuck to Canada. The rest is history.

    Summary

    Out on the deck, the sun is so bright Carlos has to shield his eyes from the blinding reflections dancing on the deep blue of the lake.

    "So beautiful," Jannik says. He has come to stand right behind him to look over his shoulder, but Carlos doesn't need to look to know his exact position, the exact scrunch of Jannik's face in studious awe as he contemplates the lake.

    A part of him always knows exactly where Jannik is, a part of him always tries to figure out exactly what he's thinking. Years of playing Jannik have left their mark, and now Carlos couldn't erase the knowledge even if he tried.

    He ignores the warmth pooling in his belly.

    After Wimbledon, both Carlos and Jannik only want to go somewhere no one knows them, where they can have a real holiday. When Juanki offers Carlos his holiday home, he invites Jannik along for some time away from the spotlight.

    Away from prying eyes, will they become closer than ever? And what will happen when the world of social media notices their absence?
