Summary
It shouldn’t have been surprising to learn that Martin hated him. He had been, he knew, a truly terrible boss - he’d treated Martin horribly, caused him to lose his home, nearly gotten him killed. Really, it had been ridiculous to ever think that Martin wouldn’t hate him.
Still, Jon had been trying, in his own way, to make it up to him. There wasn’t exactly a card at the drugstore that said, “I’m sorry I berated you for six months and caused you to nearly be eaten by a swarm of worms of potentially supernatural origin,” but he’d been trying. He brought Martin breakfast every morning, made sure the breakroom cabinets were stocked with his favorite blends of tea, and had tried to work some genuine praise into his feedback of Martin’s work. None of it was the direct apology that his conscience told him he really ought to give, but Martin had appreciated it. Or seemed to, anyway.
Jon wasn’t certain what motivated the decision he made next - whether it was guilt or spite or something else. He could, he knew, be quite petty when the situation called for it. Either way, he made up his mind then and there to prove Martin wrong. He was going to be the best fake boyfriend he could be.

Summary
“Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”
Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”
“Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”
Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

Summary
“Yeah.” Martin nods. “That’s — I mean, it’s like that. Holding your hand. I’m not gonna… I won’t drift away. You, um.” He pauses, takes a breath. “In a weird, metaphysical sense, you keep me… grounded.”
“Like an anchor,” Jon blurts.
“Like an anchor,” Martin agrees.
Jon and Martin run away together, reconnect, and settle into something that almost looks like a normal life.

Summary
It was a pointed dismissal. Perhaps if those hands were no longer in view, he could get back to work. Back to thinking about something other than their strange, inherent attractiveness.

Jon is fascinated by Martin's hands, and finds himself overwhelmed by the desire to have them on him. His sudden fixation does not go unnoticed by anyone in the Archive.Bookmarked by itstoolateforcake

"Trust me," Sasha said. "Jon's not the kind of guy you flirt with. Jon's the kind of guy you woo."
