    Summary

    Sparks and splashes fly when TK and Carlos each take up swimming while they recover from workplace injuries.
    ****
    Carlos touches the shallow end of the pool and stops, allowing himself the time to look back. Appearing slightly fuzzy and gleaming through Carlos’ goggles, TK sits on the edge at the deep end, palms splayed flat on the tiles, legs dangling in the water and kicking softly. He raises a hand, waving to beckon Carlos back. There’s something so sweet about the gesture, Carlos’ stomach flutters. He has to stop himself from smiling as he swims towards TK. He peers through his goggles at the sharpening sight of TK’s feet under the water, the way he moves them in a circular motion. Carlos keeps his head under and grabs TK’s foot playfully. TK howls, elated.
    “I knew you were going to do that, and it still scared me,” TK says, his voice squeaky through his rolling laughter.
    Suddenly it feels to Carlos like he’s known TK forever – like they’re best friends from school days, kids at play.
    TK kicks up, splashing water over Carlos’ shoulder. There’s a hunger in his eyes that Carlos tries to mirror. They hold it for a few seconds before they have to look away.

    Summary

    Carlos made his way to the victim’s bedroom, located down a narrow corridor, across from an equally cramped bathroom. The very first thing he saw after stepping through the doorway was T.K. Strand, slumped in a chair in the corner of the room, drenched in blood.

    Carlos’s knees gave out so abruptly that he had to grab for the frame to catch himself before he hit the ground. “No,” he heard himself say, in a voice that didn’t sound anything like him.

    (Fifteen months after they broke up, Carlos and T.K. are thrown together again at the scene of a murder.)

    Summary

    Carlos Reyes read the article title on his phone screen over and over, letters taunting him as if they were coming through the glass and hitting him in the face. As quarterback and the current face of “America’s Football Team”, he feels like this information should have been disclosed to him via Coach O’Brien rather than the ESPN News feed on a random Wednesday in July.

    It’s not like TK had disappeared off of the face of the entire planet after that night so long ago, just Carlos’s.

    Summary

    He wants them this close without clothes on. He wants Carlos inside of him. All this strength and charm and power, he wants to be the centre of its attention, to be at the white-hot core of its heat. He’s wanted it since the moment they laid eyes on each other, but he feels the presence closer now, like it’s inevitable.
