    Summary

    Anakin focused on playing it up, lower lip trembling, peering through his lashes at the new threat in the room. “T-thanks,” he said, taking the offered hand all while running a complex algorithm that basically boiled down to: how the fuck do I get out of here in one piece? Did he make a run for it? Knock the bastard out? Play it coy?

    Those calculations died when he saw the blood.

    The man glanced down at himself with mild interest. “Ah, yes. Unsightly, isn’t it?”

    "Not the word I’d use,” Anakin deadpanned, shocked into dropping the scared and helpless act.

    “No, perhaps not,” agreed the stranger, whose grayish-blue eyes lit up.

    The handler tells Jayce that Lucy snapped her back hock in her last race and was ultimately retired.

    -

    Ximena convinces Jayce to get a retired Greyhound to keep him company after the Acadamy sends him on sick leave after an incident leaves him in the throes of PTSD.

    Summary

    “So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.

    Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.

    “Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”

    Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.

    He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:

    Jayce: He hates me already.

    Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.

    Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.

    Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘

    Summary

    Eddie won't stop touching anyone and everyone, except for Steve. He has a plan to change that.

    *

    “You can touch me.” That was not how Steve intended for it to come out. He opened his mouth and closed it a few times.

    Eddie had frozen with his fingers halfway to his mouth. Smoke curled from his cigarette between them. He raised his eyebrows, then frowned, then bit his lip.

    “I can-” Eddie said slowly, his face still rolling through several emotions without landing on one- “touch you?”
