1) Walking
It takes him six months to work up the nerve to ask Yang to hold hands on the walk home.
2) Waltz
They're falling into each other and belting the lyrics out at the top of their lungs; liquid courage has never tasted sweeter.
3) Wishes
Yang has always dreamt of having someone be utterly, madly in love with him (he just now wishes that someone had better taste in movies).
4) Wonder
Roger still pinches himself when Yang isn't looking.
5) Worry
"No homo, right?"
6) Whimsy
"How's it hang-y, Supa- OW!"
7) Wasteland
Wandering aimlessly around the desert in kitchenware and fetish gear is infinitely better in twos.
8) Whiskey and Rum
"This dick's not a light weight, if y'know what I'm sayin'…"
"I dunno, why don't you show me?"
9) War
The more Night Masters they face, the more acutely aware Roger is how little need Yang has for the rest of the Army, let alone him.
10) Birthday
Yang's first birthday away from his sister is spent in Roger's basement, playing jello shot Twister.
11) Blessing
"Between us three, I never really wanted grandkids, anyway."
12) Bias
Of course Yang waits until he's sitting in Roger's lap to say, "Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, BUT-"
13) Burning
Most of their kisses are exchanged over s'mores.
14) Breathing
Yang loves to rest his head against Roger's chest and listen to the deep, rumbling motion of his lungs.
15) Breaking
Yang breaks hearts as easily as he breaks bones (and right now Roger dreams of the latter).
16) Belief
He regrets the words as soon as they leave his mouth, but Yang slings his arm around Roger's neck and flashes a reassuring smile.
17) Balloon
The next time he sneaks a glimpse through the twins' bedroom window, he sees that Yang has hung the heart-shaped foil balloon Roger had gotten him upside down, as a punching bag.
18) Balcony
Yang had it all planned out – cheesy pop punk song on the boom-box, star-studded night sky – but he failed to pack a first aid kit for when his rock collided not with Roger's window, but his face instead.
19) Bane
If Yang makes one more fucking joke about the divorce, he's going to snap.
20) Quiet
Getting used to silence is a learning process.
21) Quirks
Roger's job at Yang's slam poetry meets is to play the electric cello, a device he previously hadn't even known existed.
22) Question
"So when did you first start liking me in the gay way?"
23) Quarrel
Yang realizes early on that drama is his cocaine.
24) Quitting
"Do you ever think about giving up Woo Foo?"
25) Jump
The dojo's bouncy castle rental is cut short when someone decides that piledriving guys with horns on their heads is appropriate etiquette.
26) Jester
He'll probably never tell Roger this, but the first time Yang was left alone in his room, he dug through Roger's closet and measured some (all) of his shoes.
27) Jousting
It's not a lightsaber battle because they lack the glow in the dark paint.
28) Jewel
Yang has said multiple times he doesn't want a ring, he wants a jewel-encrusted sword (and no, to answer Roger's oft-asked question, a bedazzled one will not do).
29) Just
Roger slugs him in the shoulder, tells him to just stop laughing, deep breaths, but Yang instead continues to laugh so hard he rolls himself right off the bed.
30) Smirk
No other expression could make someone look so hot and yet so punchable at the same time.
31) Blame
Sometimes Yang wonders what could have happened if only he had been a little nicer.
32) Proof
Nothing says "I love you" like the head of a giant.
33) Redecorate
Stripes of ash and handprints certainly at least make the wall more interesting to look at.
34) Misquoted
"I mean he didn't literally say "I love you too," but he basically did- like, sub-textually."
35) Tool
"Why yes I am, thank you.
36) Sex
"Would you, even if you couldn't say 'no homo' afterwards?"
37) Perfect
Roger has never seen anything as beautiful as the way the sunlight paints itself across Yang's shoulders as they lay there, silently tangled together.
38) Old
Yang outlives Roger by 200 years; he never remarries.
39) Almost
Roger almost speaks up when the priest says that old line, but he knows his chance passed the second he agreed to be Yang's best man, if he ever had one at all.
40) Nitro
Yang's idea of a date is a shitty movie, a pack of hot dogs, and some nitroglycerin mouthwash.
41) Dishonest
Yang tells Roger it's because he doesn't want him to get hurt (and a part of him wishes Roger would call him out on his obvious lie).
42) Champion
Roger asks Yang out by locking Lina and Melodia in his attic so they can't make it to the auction.
43) Sweet
Roger doesn't remember the kiss that wedded them; he remembers the one afterwards, the one that tasted of frosting and champagne.
44) Bizarre
Yang often wakes up wondering if he should have some vague sense of disconnect at the sight of Roger's shorts hanging off him in the mirror, at roger still fast asleep on the floor, but his suspension of disbelief is a master tightrope walker.
45) Knowledgeable
"This is kinda like antithetical parallelism to my first date with Lina," Yang says, as though Roger would know what that means.
46) Steadfast
Roger likes to think they are the unstoppable force and the immoveable object, but deep down he knows he's way too whipped for that.
47) Evasive
Yang's alluded to having written him love poems before, but Roger's torn the whole town apart and hasn't found one yet.
48) Innocent
Whenever Roger sees something about how his love is impure, he thanks his dad for being a villain – he was never innocent to begin with.
49) Thirsty
When Woo Foo merchandise finally starts rolling out, Roger is the first in line to buy a full-sized poster of his favorite twin.
50) Vague
It isn't until college that Roger fully understands why Yang sometimes calls him Enkidu.
