I see everyone's touch-starved Jamie Tartts and the queer-platonic Two Aces and the in-therapy Roy Kents and I love them all endlessly. I also raise you:
Roy Kent who's been half-starved for regular platonic intimacy for his entire life. He's in therapy and he's sad and he's lonely and he's angry all the time, but somehow he's tricked Jamie into thinking he is safe to be around. And then they share a bed sometimes, because life is hard.
Roy's mind probed at the situation like a tongue looking for a freshly missing tooth and finding a gap, an emptiness where the pain used to be. Still--
"I swear to God if I turn around and you're not wearing any pants," he warned.
Jamie broke into giggles behind him. The thought crossed his mind--if this is a fucking prank--but for once the heat of outrage didn't leap readily into his hands.
The bed dipped. Jamie scooted closer, and the unmistakable texture of trackies brushed against the back of Roy's legs.
"Nah. Decided I'm gonna sweat my arse off for you. Prick."
Roy grunted. "Then you can run the laundry tomorrow."
"Fuck that. If anything, you're making me breakfast in the morning in return for dragging your old man legs up the stairs. Now come here, you lug."
That was all the warning Roy had before a stupidly-tattooed arm wrapped around his midsection, reeling him backwards until he was pressed against Jamie's chest like his own personal teddy bear.
Fucking champagne and video games and mockery over his taste in furniture and now this. One of these days he was going to have to draw a line. He was the gaffer now--Jamie knew he was the gaffer now--and he owed it to the both of them to put some boundaries in place.
Jamie dropped his head against the back of Roy's neck, a soft and careful weight that was becoming increasingly familiar. Voice slackened with the hour, he murmured contentedly, "You're a fuckin' furnace. M' top half's not going t' get cold at all."
Boundaries were a lot to ask for with the clock pressing midnight. It could wait until morning.

asking about forgetful ghost 😈😈
😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
ending sucks ass and i need to workshop it but that's the general idea. I think it would start off quite comedic like arghhh i put down my glasses half a century ago and now im a short sighted ghost ☹️ like the idea is their clothing is ghostly insofar its connected to them. you cant have a ghost-jacket so once the ghost takes its jacket off it stops existing and that would progressively turn a little more tragic when it becomes parts of themselves they forget. like when you walk so long your legs turn numb and you forget they exist. or when you catch a glimpse of your reflection in a mirror and are surprised to see you have a body. you have to be quiet for a long period of time and are scared you've lost your voice forever (idk if that one's universal tbh). i think the ending sucks because its too sentimental but the general idea is once they forget they're dead they're no longer dead, but they're also not alive so they just stop existing.
