    Summary

    He’s not alone—hardly ever is, in Boston.

    But maybe, just maybe, he’s lonely.

    It sneaks up on him in stupid moments: standing in line at the bank, catching a ride with Connors after practice, because he doesn’t have a car yet. Lying awake at night with the low hum of traffic outside and the wrong kind of silence pressing in around him.

    In his rookie year, Ilya makes an anonymous online friend. Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea.

    Summary

    “I don’t know how to treat him. It’s cruel to be nice, but it’s worse to be outright mean to him.’

    “You are outright mean to him.” Dana scoffed. A glare came her way. “You’re mean to everyone.”

    “That’s not true.”

    “And you’re nice. You’re a good mentor. You’re good at what you do. You’re treating him right–equally. Somewhat.” Dana said, moving through the motions of teasing and assuring Robby that he wasn’t the worst person in the world.

    “Somewhat?” Robby crossed his arms.

    “You’re just…” Dana grabbed both of his shoulders as if to make an example out of him, “Touchy.”

    --

    TLDR; Dana calls Robby out on his bullshit, and Robby is forced to confront both Dennis' feelings and his own. (Tags to be added!)

    Summary

    "I don’t like oranges.”
    “Since when?” Eddie frowns. “You used to love oranges.”
    Christopher shrugs. “I don’t like them anymore.”
    And that’s fine, really. Tastes change. Christopher doesn’t have to like oranges.
    It’s just that he does. Christopher loves oranges. Christopher has loved oranges since the first time he tasted one, Eddie watching on over a shaky video call from the desert.

     

    Or, Eddie knows his kid, and his kid loves oranges. Buck knows both of them better than Eddie realized. He shows it in various citrus-based ways.

    Summary

    "You look exactly the same," Eddie says with tears in his eyes. "How is that even possible?"

    "I don't know," Buck says, his thumb swiping across Eddie's knuckles. "I don't understand it."
    He may be the same, but looking at Eddie, Buck can see the years on him. His hair is a bit different, the creases by the corners of his eyes just a bit deeper. There's a new scar on his right hand that Buck hasn't seen before.

    He'd know these hands blind, but it takes him a moment to notice it still. His fingers brush over it once, and then again before he actually looks down and sees the thin golden band wrapped around Eddie's ring finger. Then he just—stares at it, stupidly, for a second. Before Eddie pulls his hands back, and leaves Buck's hanging empty in the space between them.

    "You're married," he says.

    Summary

    “It’s never just a conversation with an Alpha, Buck,” Abby replies. Buck feels his spine stiffen. He doesn’t like the implication that an Alpha wouldn’t genuinely want to talk to him. He’s weird, and poor, and lives in a shitty part of town, but he’s always believed the right person would see through all of that.
