when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth) by photographyflowerboy

Summary
...It begun slowly, as many things do. The feeling of I've been here before was just an odd tingle in the back of his mind, something he surely misinterpreted as familiarity. Because he'd done everything with Them before; playing around in the sand when they were kids, sneaking into each others' rooms as teens, even those arguments that always got resolved sooner or later. He thought the intimacy of being there for every aspect of each others' lives was what caused those tingles.
Then that went from a harmless gut feeling to a big, haunting cloud that hung over his shoulder and made the hair on his arms stand up. Because there was something missing from Their eyes now, wasn't there? Where did that ever-present youthful joy go?
Why did he feel like, just for a moment, he was not loved anymore?
...And then Cove woke up in the body of an eight-year old boy.

Summary
“Thirty years,” you say, with a small, proud smile. “Can you even imagine that?”
Cove hurries over, taking hold of some of your luggage bags.
“We’re at over half that,” he says, simply, obviously.
He understands that you meant something entirely different, but if you lasted sixteen years, surely another fourteen won’t make much of a difference. Surely, by now, you’re both secure enough in your affection for each other to know no matter what, you’ll remain in each other’s lives until the day you die. In what way, Cove pretends he doesn’t care - as long as you’re there. -

Summary
--
Your lip trembled, your hands balled into nervous fists. You wished you could melt into a puddle so you wouldn't have to admit what happened. It was so… humiliating! Cove was grown up enough to have a place of his own, meanwhile you were unprepared for something that happens every month, and at risk of bleeding over his belongings if you sat or laid down anywhere. It made you feel so childishly dumb

Summary
Cove knew where home was. It was the two bedroom apartment where he lived for most his life, the city street lights shining from his window nightly, the sound of his mother's humming, and his father's boisterous laughter.
But when he moves to Sunset bird, he is told to readjust his definition of home. Suddenly, home was this: copy-paste surburban houses all lined up in neat horizontal rows, his father's lonely footsteps ambling around the house, and his mother's weekly phone calls.
This is not the home Cove has known for all his life and he refused to let this sadder version be it's replacement. So of course, he does what a rational, wise eight year old boy would do in his situation: he runs away.
In another life, he runs to cry on a poppy hill and finds his soulmate.
In this life, things get much more complicated than that.

Big Expectations by ObsoleteOpossum
Fandoms: Our Life: Beginnings & Always (Visual Novel)
12 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
In which Cove gets overwhelmed by his mom’s teasing and says something he doesn’t mean. The worst part is that you heard it. He finds you on Poppy Hill and you work it out through typical teenage awkwardness and tears.
Takes place near the end of step 2, after the camping trip and the dinner, but before the soiree. Slight cannon divergence as you definitely admit how you feel about Cove but you don’t kiss him yet.
Rated T just in case, and for some very mild swearing.

Summary
For you, there’s a lot of reasons why you’d love to stay home.
Now, it’s not the fact that you were a shut-in, because you weren’t. You’d say you had a pretty active life outside with your friends, Liz, both of your mothers, and Cove. Most of the aforementioned would tell you that you had a crazy amount of energy to spend outdoors.
Except Cove. Because Cove, your partner-in-crime of eight years, knew you inside out. He knew these things mainly have to be on your own terms. Staying home was often one of them.
True to his name, he ended up being a safe space to rely on.
Cove was the main reason why you’d decided to stay home. He was also the reason why you felt safe enough to stay in the first place.
