    Summary

    Sometimes, the ones who refuse to be taken care of are the ones who need it most.

    At first, it was casual comments. “Why don’t you come sit for a moment?” “We should draw the shades a bit, the sun’s rather bright.” All things Laszlo had heard before, and he refused to let himself be drawn into John’s attempts. He simply shook his head and continued to study the blackboard, scanning the words but not really reading them as he felt John’s eyes bore into his back.

    Summary

    There are two bedrooms in the safehouse, and two beds.

    For a moment, Jon considers asking to share, but decides against it with a wince. “I really loved you,” Martin had told him. Loved. Past tense. And Martin doesn’t exactly have a lot of choices right now in terms of company; it would be cruel to demand he play at feelings he no longer has just to make Jon happy.

    (For a moment, Martin considers asking to share. But he dismisses the idea with a shake of his head. Jon has already done so much for him. Martin isn’t about to ask for more, especially not when it’s something he doesn’t really need. He has his right mind back, and he has Jon’s friendship. That should be enough for him. It’ll have to be.)

    ---

    Jon thinks that Martin doesn’t love him. Martin thinks that Jon doesn’t love him. They do not, of course, discuss this. Unrequited love is already awkward enough, right? No need to dwell on it.

    Summary

    “Trouble in paradise?” Melanie asks, cocking an eyebrow. Jon feels his face going hot, much to his annoyance.

    “That’s none of your business,” he snaps, “Even if there was - ”

    He breaks off, because there isn’t. There’s nothing going on, the way Melanie’s suggesting, nothing for him to be embarrassed or indignant about. Nothing for him to feel an ache in his chest thinking about.

    *

    Martin comes back to the Archives. Jon gets to know him all over again.

    Summary

    Some people make the mistake of assuming he's naive about sex, for the simple reason he hasn't dated in a while. Tim has called him a prude, at one point, and implied that he was somehow afraid of the intimacy required by the act; he wasn’t entirely wrong, but this definitely isn’t the reason for Jon's disinterest and general bafflement toward what most people seemed to consider as "what makes them human".

     

    Jon simply hasn't found the right person. That is all it is: high standards, and a reticence to let people in.

     

    (In which Jon finds out society is wrong about what a romantic relationship should be.)

    Summary

    “Fine,” Jon says, and he tries to ignore the sulky tone of his voice, “fine. What do you suggest?”

    Martin pauses, like he’d not expected Jon to give in so easily. Jon’s never been particularly agreeable, but he still feels vaguely offended by the blatant surprise. “W-we,” Martin stammers, clears his throat, continues on much more confidently, “we go in together.”

    Or: it takes close quarters and a full 24 hours to finally get them on the same page.

    “What are you thinking about?” Jon asks, his voice edged into a snap.

    Martin’s mouth opens and, entirely without his permission, words spill out. “I was thinking about what it would be like to kiss you.”

    Summary

    After a second Jon steps in towards him, close enough that Martin flinches, but all Jon does is put two fingers under his chin with his free hand and raise it until Martin can’t duck away. Jon has never touched him so casually before – at least, not until today, and it raises a lot of thoughts and feelings that Martin is trying very hard not to process.

    Much like a lot of other things that have happened, he thinks. Not that it’s horrible or terrifying or numbing like everything else has been: it’s just another thing on the list of things he doesn’t have the capacity to deal with.

    ---

    In the wake of the Lonely, there's a lot that Martin doesn't really want to think about.
