    Summary

    It starts with her, in a way. Starts with her bathroom counter, half-empty pill bottles and scattered hot rollers and the dark curiosity to know what’s more important than him. Starts with 40s and a dare he makes with himself, alone in his room. It ends up here, in the shadow of her sick bed. Exhausted. Clean, mostly. Broke and back in his childhood home, a high school diploma and accidentally acquired plaque declaring him Employee of the Month! the only thing to show for thirty five years on this big, green earth.

    “Yeah, Randy,” he says. “It’s a thing I do.”

    (the dealer Benson AU)

    Summary

    They drive for a long time and Benson talks for a long time, about how they're both better than their stupid lives, about how he's helping Randy by taking him along for the ride, helping him find some backbone or something like that. But not too much backbone, of course, not enough to cross the man beside him.

    But, Randy does want to cross him again, just to see that flare of a reaction that got his blood pumping again.

    Summary

    “Now Randy,” he says, low and careful and right against his mouth, “you’ve gotta remember that when I tell you to do things, it’s for your own good. Right?”

    Randy’s having a hard time keeping his eyes focused on just the cigarette or just on Benson — both are so close that his eyes keep making them blurry.

    “Uh— Uh-huh.”

    “So when I tell you you’re gonna smoke,” he continues, “that means you’re gonna do what?”

    Randy’s stomach drops. He doesn’t understand — doesn’t understand how Benson making him smoke is for his own good. He knows it’s not. He wants to ask, but knows Benson will just punch him for it instead, so he doesn’t. He feels his teeth clench together; Benson’s fingers flex along his jaw, feeling the muscle twitch.

    “Randy.”

    He relents. He feels like putty, all his nerves spooling and tangling and getting crossed to make him numb.

    “I’m gonna…” Randy swallows, feeling breathless. “I’m gonna smoke.”
