    Summary

    Izzy laughs, takes another drag from the cig. “I’m a photographer,” she says.

    “Holy fuck, I’m psychic.”

    “You’re not,” Izzy protests, rolling her eyes again. “I’m not a model.”

    “Could be,” Jack says. “You’re the hottest girl here tonight, that’s for sure.”

    Izzy glances up at her, meets her gaze, and finds her eyes dark and hot and completely genuine. Izzy wonders if Jack wasn’t inside to see Ed and the other girls she invited out with them tonight, if she doesn’t know about all the other options available to her because she needed to go outside for a smoke.

    Summary

    "You sounded a bit like a professor I had back in college," he says, and Izzy swears he sees a vague hint of blush on Lucius' exposed face. Then again, it is early December, and they are outside. "She had this old tin thermos full of soup with her at literally all times, like a—"

    "Security blanket," Izzy finishes for him. How often had Ed accused him of just that. He tries not to think about the last time he saw it, saw Ed, saw the anger… "Like a bit of home wherever you go," he says instead.

    "Don't tell me you know Dr. Teach!" Izzy does his best not to wince. "I think her first name was Val?" Lucius asks in earnest, finally pulling off his mask.

    "Fucking hell," Izzy says. "It's you."

    ***

    Izzy Hands is still healing from the wounds of his old life, dealing with poor self-esteem and vicious bouts of anxiety. At the suggestion of his therapist, he volunteers to be a life drawing model for a local artist's class. Dr. Boodhari failed to mention what to do if Izzy developed feelings for the artist, however, let alone how to handle a love eagerly reciprocated by a former student.

    Summary

    Izzy could feel Edward's eyes on him as he flitted back and forth between their designated closet spaces in the hotel room that evening. "Don't tell me you've got a hot date," he said as he idly flipped through the TV channels.

    "Not exactly," Izzy told him, still trying to choose between tees. He'd honestly prefer one of his numerous black band shirts, but Jack liked manga, which made Izzy gravitate toward Ed's battalion of Evangelion merch. "Did you happen to pack anything with a half-naked anime lady on it?"

    "Izzy, mate, are you asking me if I have an ahegao shirt right now?"

    Izzy made a gagging sound. "Fuck no, Eddie. I just…" He sighed as Edward continued giggling. "It's the guy who took me to the ER last night. He mentioned looking for original-language Yuri, so I thought—"

    "Holy fuck." The bed springs jangled as Ed got up and made his way to the doorless closet. "You really are trying to hook up with someone."

    ***

    When Izzy drunkenly punches a wall at the DragonCon rave, he winds up with much more than a broken finger.
