    Summary

    When you settle into the jaeger with him, it's a homecoming you never wanted.

    The cockpit is as small as ever-- he'd built it with one body in mind originally, when he'd used it to smash your old life to splinters under his metal fist-- and between your body and his body and your respective flight suits, there's no space. You wind up with your left knee bumping into his right one, your side pressed to his through the layers of sweat-wicking fabric and sensors. When he grins at you, lopsided as ever, you sneer.

    "Nostalgic, isn't it?" he says, his voice filtered through the sounds of metal groaning outside. A few klicks from where you're both sitting, a monster the size of a skyscraper is crushing the city underfoot. The parallels aren't lost on you.

    Summary

    He pauses. When he speaks again, his tone is much less level. "My back, Tord.”

    You remember this feeling, how it slammed hard into you when you left him cut open on the counter, how violently your hands had been shaking when you tried, over and over, to wash his blood off your hands. Self-loathing and desperation and fear and possession and disgusting, disgusting pride.

    "Oh.”

    Summary

    Tord moves closer, and you finally shift your gaze to his shit-eating grin.

    "Classic, stupid Tom. Always thinking you're worth something. Always dragging everyone around you down. You're worthless, you know that?" He sees something pained in your expression and leans in, smile gleaming in the television's dull glow. "Absolutely worthless."
