    Summary

    Jonathan could not let Teddy have free access to his room, even for a five minute shower. He knew Teddy, and he knew Teddy would be going into his suitcase, looking for anything suspicious. Although his weapons and gear were well hidden and undetectable even by airport security, Teddy was a crime boss; he knew where smugglers put things.

    There was one decent option.

    Jonathan leaned against the door to the bathroom, hooking one thumb in his boxers, making them sling low on his hips, and let his voice be sleep-soft. “Care to join me? It’s a nice shower.”

    ———

    Scene rewrite from when Teddy picks Matthew up to drive to the airport. Jonathan tries to distract Teddy’s suspicions and ends up setting off a bit more than he expected, and not just physically.

    Summary

    "Jonathan wonders, seeing Teddy so out of his element and so lost, if it wouldn’t have been kinder to leave him behind after all. Let him find his own way to survive, in his own environment. Kinder, perhaps, yes. But the pitter-patter of his heart and the way it stumbles over itself every time Teddy so much as offers a hint of a smile tells him that in the event of this scenario, where both their worlds collapsed and they failed, he was incapable of leaving him behind. The miracle of Teddy being alive and here, with him, is a selfish thing to celebrate, but Jonathan can’t bring himself to feel sorry about it."

    -

    Jonathan saves Teddy from Roper's attempt on his life, but their immediate movements afterwards are less than straightforward. A look into the days that follow and how Jonathan pulls himself together so he can be who Teddy needs in the aftermath.

    Summary

    He almost died tonight. He survived with a new understanding of how fragile Teddy's trust in someone can be. Colombia has moved twenty million dollars closer to a successful coup.

    Of less global significance, but on a personal level just as concerning, his own heterosexuality is suddenly in doubt.

    Jonathan pines on a boat.

    Summary

    Jonathan still had his gaze fixed on the stars. He couldn't bear to look, not now, when Teddy's eyes would be wide and unseeing.
    It's a shame. If Jonathan had been brave enough, he would've seen that Teddy's eyes were closed, and that his chest moved in a halting, unsteady rhythm.
