Fics like The Olson Dilemma

He is though. He stares at Stebbins quite often in fact. Stebbins captured his heart months ago when he gifted Hank a copy of one of his favorite books wrapped neatly in deep blue wrapping paper and a white lace ribbon tied around it. Not a single flaw in the wrapping. Stebbins had explained that Ray brought up that Hank lost his original copy while moving in with Art. It was an offhand comment that Ray made while they were browsing the bookstore together. There was no weight behind it. He wasn’t suggesting either one of them buy Hank a new copy. It’s far more likely that Ray only mentioned it so he could remember to bring it up later to Hank. And Stebbins bought him a new copy, showed up at his apartment, walked in like he belonged there after Art answered the door, and knocked on Hank’s bedroom door. Hank remembers opening up his bedroom door and looking down at the wrapped book Stebbins was holding out for him. “Garraty mentioned you lost your copy,” Hank had carefully unwrapped the green wrapping paper. His favorite color. The paper and ribbon fell to the floor, revealing a pristine copy of 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea. “Oh,” Hank had said. OR Hank goes on a blind date.
