It’s already past 2:30 in the afternoon when Stiles finally drags himself out of bed to the bathroom. The party at Jungle for Coming Out Day had been awesome, as usual. Danny even bought him a shot when he walked in. And then Stiles followed it up with about 8 more shots of his own before calling it a night. To say he’s hungover would be a grave understatement.

A sun set on a small town. Not the sun, a sun.
The people in this town did not speak unless spoken to. Instead, they smiled. They always smiled. Things went on behind close doors which no one shall speak of. A policeman passed a woman in the street. He smiled. She smiled back. Nothing strange here.

Al and Chaz sat in the bleachers at the big game. The wind in Al’s hair, the sound of people screaming swear words, and the smell of beer and people smoking was all so, so disgusting but wonderful at the same time somehow. Chaz pulled on his dirty blonde hair with one hand, yelling, “No! No! That stance is all wrong!” Al chuckled. He wasn’t much for sports, he mostly just came to spend time with his best friend.

Prompt: In the middle of a snowy forest, a small stream winds between tree-lined banks, its surface frozen to flat, gray ice. On the ice lies a dark-haired teen boy. He’s sprawled on his back, eyes closed, one arm flung wide, dressed in a light sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers. His tousled hair touches a clump of snow on the hard-frozen surface, and his high-cheekboned face is still and pale.
