    Summary

    "No, I'm not particularly offended by the term... 'white boy'," Damon responds. Eva seems to be formulating a response, irritation burgeoning, but it dies in her throat at his next words. "It's just factually inaccurate. I'm not white."

    For what is not the first time, and certainly won't be the last, Eva stares at him like he's grown a third head.

    "You're not white," she says, like she's had her world shattered.

    Damon finds himself a class outcast even without the killing game—but at least he and his only friend in the class can bond over their shared isolation. (Un)Fortunately, however, as more and more people find out about the weekly meetings of the esteemed W.I.A., Damon comes to realize he and Eva won't be spending their time at this academy as loners, after all.

    Summary

    Damon could barely keep his eyes open. He would shield himself from the nothingness if he had the strength to move from where he stood. On what? Was there even a floor here? Where was here? He still hadn't figured that out.

    Everything's a blur, just lumps of colors behind his eyelids, distant voices, and a dull ache in his stomach. Damon's tongue darted out over his bottom lip, but his mouth had gone completely sour, deprived of any moisture.

    He… what was he doing?

    'I died.'

    It's a bitter, dreadful whisper in the back of his mind, one that's all too familiar.

    'I died again.'

    ---

    Or: Damon's stuck in a time loop, forced to relive the killing game over and over again. He's tried everything to end it, but now there's only one possible solution left: keep everyone alive long enough to escape. Right. Sure.

    Summary

    “Would you… Want to spend time with me and my family during Christmas?”

    “Huh?” Kai’s face suddenly blew up and he stood, frantically waving his hands around. “W-Well, I wouldn’t wanna intrude! On your parents and you, I mean–"

    Damon grabbed his hand and lowered it. “You wouldn’t be intruding, I’m the one inviting you... Besides, my brothers will be there too, so it won’t just be my parents there with us."

    A beat of silence passed.

    “You have brothers?!” Kai exclaimed.

    Kai is alone for Christmas this year and, out of the goodness in Damon's heart, he invites Kai to spend time with him and his family.

    And by family, he means his parents and brothers-- wait, brothers?!

    Summary

    Kai’s grip tightens, and his fingers curl past Damon’s sleeve, over his wrist. He really radiates heat: just from this touch, Damon can feel this low-level hum, like a glow from the inside out. It could be stifling, but Damon’s always run cold. He can’t find it in himself to pull away.
