    Summary

    “I love you. I love you, and I’m sorry that I make everything a joke and a performance. But it’s... I’m not doing it because I don’t love you. It’s because if I don’t do that, then I risk really, really having to feel something. And I know you understand how much that scares me. I love you, and I’m really, really sorry.”

    or

    Matty and Ross’s heartbreaking moment in Belfast: how they got there, and what happened afterwards.

    Summary

    “Because I’ve been a shit bandmate, and my drinking’s getting out of hand,” Matty’s voice was shaky and quiet, breath brushing against Georges chest, “and……and I hurt you. I’m a shit friend.”

    (The fic in which Matty hates asking for his needs, but George makes him do it anyways.)

    Summary

    “Y’alright there?”

    and finally, the other man opens his eyes. He’s blinking blearily up at George, cupping a hand over his eyes to see the tall man better with the sun now out of his line of vision.

    George is mostly relieved because he doesn’t appear to have a concussion. That’s wonderful news for the coffee shop he works at-- imagine if he did have a concussion, and he just so happened to feel like suing. George could see the papers now; ‘Local Lanky Man trips on patch of Ice outside Coffee House ‘Deja Brew’-- claims the patch of Ice was really frozen Gingerbread Macchiato spilled by worker George Daniels. Lanky Man sues for 1,000,000.’.

    ...Sounds like a mouthful for a newspaper headline, but George was almost certain he’d read stranger.

    ------------------

    The fic in which George is a barista at a small cafe and Matty is the unsuspecting victim of clumsiness. George is just in the right place at the right time.

    Summary

    “Kiss me?”

    George falters. “I–” But there’s something in the way Matty always poses that question, with a cocked head in his soft sound and a blink of his eyes that take George a minute to count on. He can’t always help himself, even when they’ve been driving in different directions for days on end. “Yeah, all right.”
