    Summary

    “My theory is that you wanted me to kiss you.” Ryland blurted out. “I could be completely wrong— or maybe I just wanted to kiss you—okay mostly I wanted to kiss you—”

    Your heart shuddered in relief, you had in fact not read the signals wrong, he was falling for you too.

    “Maybe you should run an experiment.”

     

    or

    After Ryland walks you home from work (at Cleveland Grover Middle) and after you said goodbye, you realize that you should've kissed him. Little do you know, Ryland is still standing outside of your door, contemplating the same thing.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace only wanted to survive college with his chemistry scholarship intact. Instead, he accidentally becomes the university mascot — a clumsy astronaut fox named Cosmo that the entire campus becomes obsessed with after one too many public disasters.

    Every game leaves him bruised, exhausted, and questioning his life choices.

    Then one night, beneath the stadium bleachers, he finds the school’s untouchable cheer captain crying alone.

    To everyone else, she’s perfect — beautiful, cold, admired from a distance. But with Cosmo, she lets herself fall apart. And somehow, hidden behind a mascot helmet and thirty pounds of foam, Ryland becomes the person she trusts most.

    Soon a strange ritual begins:
    late-night talks after practice,
    shared snacks,
    charades instead of conversations,
    and feelings Ryland definitely wasn’t supposed to develop.

    Things only get more complicated when they become lab partners outside the costume. Because while she slowly falls for awkward, sweet Ryland Grace… she also starts realizing he feels strangely familiar.

    And Ryland is terrified that once the mask comes off, she’ll never look at him the same way again.

    Summary

    Why did I push him away?

    Fuck if you knew.

    It had just been too long. Way too long. You hadn’t felt anything like that in 4 years. The feeling of human contact. The feeling of human contact with Ryland. It scared you.

    You and Ryland seemed to have come to a silent agreement on boundaries when it came to touch. The closest you two ever got to one another was helping each other getting in or out of the EVA suits. Otherwise, you made no contact at all. Which was fine. Absolutely fine, really.

    Ahem. Anyways.
