    Summary

    They stand like this in silence, looking at each other. They study each other's faces, glance at their hair, eyes and lips, and hardly think about anything in particular. Steve is thinking about how weird it all is, Jonathan is probably thinking about getting another cigarette.

    Summary

    He’s seemed… different, lately — he’s always a bit high-strung, tense and nervous, but Merritt’s seen him when he spills out of Lula’s bedroom with sparkly nails to match hers, or coming downstairs with the side of his hair in a braid — and there’s the hint of a smile that seems a little more natural, a little more delighted than anything else.

    There’s something heavy in his gaze as he watches Lula on occasion, when she whips out her lipstick after dinner and touches up the smudges, or when Merritt gets downstairs and the two of them are on the couch — Daniel choosing his favourite eyeliner look for her to try on, something unreadable on his face.

    It’s hard to parse out, sometimes — Merritt’s not always entirely sure what it is, but he sees the way Daniel’s eyes seem to get stuck on the little tin of makeup in Lula’s hands, the way the glitter seems to catch the light and reflect it back — and it’s not hard to figure out, all of a sudden.

    5 + 1 of five times that they don't get J. Daniel Atlas' name quite right, and the one time that they do.
