Fics like multitudes of touch starvation

If Auston is stung by how Mitch very purposefully keeps himself to himself now, he doesn't say. It isn't something mourned or missed. He's probably relieved, Mitch thinks, and deletes the text asking Auston over he'd been about to send. They've spent a solid chunk of time together at practice. It'd be overkill to push for more, even if he's suddenly struck by how too-big and empty his apartment feels. [EDIT: now with an extra chapter as a coda to chapter 3]
