- summary:
- “that’s what this is about?” mark sets renjun’s phone down on the table. “you wrote a poem about…a guy that works with cats? at a café?”
- “you make it sound stupider than it actually is,” renjun groans, kicking him from under the table. in all fairness, it is stupid, very much so, but he can’t stand when his own stupidity is recognised by people that aren’t himself, mark included. “shut up and tell me if it’s good or not.”
- (or, chenle works at a cat café part time, and renjun is entirely normal about it.)

- as you wish
- summary:
- "these are the rules. you get one wish. if you waste that wish, too bad, no take-backs. i’ll be gone forever and you’ll never see me again. think carefully.” chenle watches renjun swipe his fob at the lobby door, and shuffles in close behind him. “hey, can i come up?”
- “no.” renjun wedges one foot in the door and one elbow in chenle’s sternum.
- chenle sways back. “where do you want me to go?”
- “where were you before?”
- chenle rolls his eyes. “trapped in an indefinite stasis waiting to be summoned by a miraculous show of sportsmanship from a dunce like you.”

- old, new, borrowed, blue
- summary:
- the fake engagement becomes an easy routine, and the two of them fall into step together without any hesitation.
- but with so many people telling him all about the “new chapter in life” he’s starting, it serves as a painful reminder to chenle that he still hasn’t mustered the strength to flip to the next page.
- (or, renjun and chenle pretend to be engaged for freebies; here’s everything that goes wrong.)

- dive into you
- summary: the only one renjun has ever been able to trust is himself. when you fall, you don’t have to worry about who’s pulling the ripcord if it’s in your hands alone.

- understanding astrophysics
- summary:
- “do you think he’s spending his free time running a little sun stan account? streaming your fancams and telling all your minions to pre-save your album?”
- chenle hesitates, but at the look donghyuck shoots at him, he says hastily, “no. i just—”
- expected renjun to be doing renjun things: reading cringey danmei novels or rewatching his favourite space documentaries or finishing that watercolour piece he started last month that’s been sitting in the corner of his closet collecting dust; decidedly not sucking face in the kitchen chenle uses regularly.
- (or, five times chenle crashes renjun’s dates and five times it’s—kind of, sort of—not his fault.)
