    Summary

    “If I'm being perfectly honest…I – haven't had a date in quite a while. Can't say I'm very good at – this.”

    Martin doesn't move closer, simply holding Jon by the waist with his drink in hand.

    “I dunno, I think you're doing really well.” He flashes Jon a smile, the recessed lights overhead glinting across sharp incisors. Certainly new additions, but somehow they still suit him. They're almost cute.

    Still, Jon's throat grows tight at the sight of them, conjuring images that he isn't entirely sure are all his own. He hasn't been sure of a good many things as of late.

    Summary

    Jon starts to reply before another flash of light catches both of their attention. They turn to look west, just spotting the bright streak that splinters down from the sky. The clouds rolling towards them are dark. Massive walls pushing towards them at a constant speed, shutting out the light from above.

    Then he starts to count.

    One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Si-

    The thunder boomed, and Martin stops, looking down to Jon, who had flinched violently at the sound. Only a mile away, give or take. If the wind is blowing the clouds in this direction, should only be a few more minutes before they’re caught in the downpour.

    Summary

    “Look, this thing with Peter… I need to see it through. And that means I need to be…”

    “Lonely,” Jon finished for him.

    “Yeah.” Martin raised the damp towel to Jon’s forehead. Gentler this time, he began to wipe away the blood and grime. “But if you think no one will care if you get hurt, then you’re wrong.”

    Jon lifted his hand as though to hold Martin’s hand in place, then thought better of it and lowered it into his lap. “Right.”

    “And if you go back into that coffin, I’m climbing in after you and pulling you back out.”

    Jon glanced up, the ghost of a smile playing on his lips. He looked small, and frail, and so, so tired. Martin could feel his carefully-curated numbness slip away as his heart clenched at the sight.

    “When was the last time you ate?” he asked. Old habits die hard.

    “I-I don’t know. It didn’t matter so much, in the Buried.”

    “Well, you’re not in the Buried anymore. C’mon.”

     

     

    When Jon gets out of the Buried, he and Martin have a talk.
