Summary
"Don’t you fucking dare call your fucking teammate stupid," Roy snaps.
"I didn’t," Jamie snaps back, almost mockingly. "Get your fucking ears checked, old man."
Sam has a feeling Roy's been waiting for a reason to strike— he’s been watching them, biding his time until Jamie slips up the slightest bit, so that he can come in and reprimand him, just for having the nerve to try and change.
"He didn’t," Sam agrees. He hesitates for a second, then, in a sudden burst of courage, tacks on: "Grandad."

Summary
"It is not any trouble. Just doing the right thing." Sam offers Jamie a tentative smile. "We are teammates, yes? On and off the pitch."
And something small and guilty and painful writhes in the pit of Jamie's stomach, at that.
Maybe it's just the nausea.

Summary
"Don't tell Lasso." His voice hitches in the middle of the sentence. "Please. Just— I'll do the fucking auction. I have to. I just don't know— why I can't fucking breathe."
Sam looks worried. Frowns.
"I think you might be having a panic attack."
And some snarling, angry part of Jamie wants to rip his fucking head off for even suggesting that... but some other part of him is really fucking scared right now, and thinks Sam might be right.

Summary
Roy bares his teeth and tries to shake him off, but Jamie’s young and Roy is ancient, so it’s clear that Jamie’s going to win this fight. Are they fighting? Jamie isn’t sure.
“If you think that I’m going to just stand by and let that shitfucker-“
“What, call me names?” Jamie asks, confused. “They’re just words, Roy. It don’t matter.”
“It very much fucking matters,” Roy says darkly.
