Summary
For several blissful moments, time stood still and reality twisted itself into something unrecognizable, something slow, something safe; he was both heavy and weightless, leaden and floating through still air like a feather. It did not occur to Strahm, not for a long while, that the limbs attached to a torso attached to a head were all his own—for he couldn't move them much at all, and quite the exertion it was to so much as cause the tips of his fingers to twitch.

Summary
He stood for a time in some kind of indecision, as expressionless and vacant as he’d been ever since… well. Ever since.
Victory, shame, triumph, shame, apathy. Loneliness… perhaps not quite. A kind of emptiness, certainly. A pit in his gut and a hollowed-out ribcage, had those been his organs, his entrails and his flesh on the floor that day? He couldn’t remember.

Summary
Later that day, in a shabby room of a roadside motel, Peter would finally—for the first time in what felt like ages, though was closer to a few weeks—get a good look at Hoffman, at the hideous wound cutting in half a side of his face. Haphazardly stitched closed with what must have been a shaky hand, not a half-bad job of it given the circumstances but so very far from ideal by any other metric.

Summary
He hadn’t said anything—hadn’t asked for anything—yet his wants were transparent all the same. The first cup had been a kind gesture, the second a thoughtful one, but the third had veered into incriminating territory. The fourth and the fifth… well.
The writing was on the wall.

Summary
Peter’s hand dropped to the table and her eyes caught on a twin set of faint scars adorning either side of his mouth. Unbidden, a chill swept through her: she’d seen them before. The recognition was immediate and unquestionable. Her face fell.
So, in turn, did Peter’s; he paused mid-sentence. “Linds? Everything okay?”
“Your mouth,” she blurted, without thinking; and then, just as fast: “What did he do?”

Summary
“You better start fucking talking—” Strahm’s voice was both thick and shaky, his composure wavering by the second; he shook Hoffman by the lapels, his own fear turning him even more unkind. (If such a thing were possible.)
“You just killed us,” Hoffman breathed.

Summary
The thought had first occurred to him when Hoffman had clambered onto his lap, cock-hungry and frantic, shoving Peter against the headboard with such carelessness, such ease, such a blatant display of that trademark alpha strength that the sensation of his brain rattling within his skull following the impact against wood became a secondary concern, thwarted in priority by the sudden realization Hoffman was strong.
In which Peter Strahm learns new and exciting things about himself.

Summary
Keeping him close, chest against chest, heart against heart; he could feel the thumping of Mark’s, a steady rhythm.
Mark.
His edges had softened with each passing day, as though the sea had taken to him like a pebble, one of thousands upon its shores; every wave, every splash sanding down all those pointy, jagged bits. Shaped him into something gentle, something easy to hold.

Summary
Mark was quiet. Eyes cast downward, hands balled into fists at his sides, he had the look of a chastised child about him. Seeming so much younger for it, too. If it weren’t for the blood-soaked clothing, red seeping through the fabric and gathering in small puddles by his feet, Peter might’ve forgotten who he was dealing with. What he was dealing with.

Summary
“You’d never see this sort of thing in Jersey.”
His voice was thick with something Peter couldn’t place, some emotion he couldn’t name outright. It wasn’t just about the stars and the sky, every word having come out coated in a longing all too familiar, thrumming with what had remained unsaid instead.

Summary
Mark was saying something, then, his voice low and shaky and tickling the shell of Peter’s ear; he couldn’t make out the words that bled into one another, though the comforting, steady drone was effective all the same.

Summary
Sirens bled into screams bled into white noise. There was a dent in the front of his car in the shape of a guardrail, hours old. He shouldn’t have driven, not in his state. His hands had trembled atop the steering wheel. They were trembling in his pockets now.

Summary
On that note: Strahm was… stranger than he let on. Stranger than he’d like anyone to believe.
It’d taken a little while for it to become apparent. Unfortunately for Strahm, he was not immune to being known. Closeness begged for it. Seamless camouflage turned into the stuff of dreams; hairline cracks grew thick and deep and let much seep past the barrier he’d drawn up.
Inevitability was the name of the game.

Summary
He let out a longsuffering sigh preemptively, pinching the bridge of his nose.
At once, footsteps.
They neared his room at a troublingly speedy pace.
At a point, it became clear there was not one set, but two. Hoffman and Lindsey barged into the room without so much as a knock. That was just as well.

Summary
Peter shifted in his seat.
Peter has been shifting in his seat for the better part of the afternoon.
He only had himself to blame. That, perhaps, was the biggest slap in the face—as he’d all but asked for this.

Summary
“Gonna blow your fucking brains out,” Strahm spat, spittle speckling Hoffman’s chin. He snatched a handful of the other's matted hair and drove his head down onto the ground, the resulting harsh thud pointing to the fact that Hoffman might die of a fractured skull after all. “All over this goddamn floor. Right now.”
“Okay,” said Hoffman.
They panted in tandem.

Summary
“No,” came a sleepy grumble, slurred around a thick tongue that seemed none too eager to cooperate with a sleep-addled brain just yet. “Stay.”
How could Hoffman say no to that?

Summary
If they were a machine, then Adam was surely the cog that didn't quite mesh with all the other moving parts. Perpetually on the fringes of the warehouse, uncertainly hovering about—passing a wrench here and a drill there—until inevitably slinking off with a sinking feeling in his stomach.
He didn't fit, and he wasn't even really sure he wanted to.
Wasn't sure whether he'd fit anywhere else, either.

Summary
Either way, they shuffled through the gathered throng until the opportunity to swerve into a clear alleyway presented itself. Mark did not unstick himself from Peter’s side.
To tell the truth, Peter only drew him closer.
No action, however small, exists in a vacuum. One might have a difficult time, consciously or not so, staving off that one pesky little emotion—especially after it takes root and so blatantly underlines every deed and gesture thenceforth.

Summary
“Need anything, Detective?” Strahm eventually grit out, voice harsh in a way that’d make Perez covertly jab her between the ribs, hissing ‘behave.’ Her partner wasn’t here, but she had no trouble picturing it, clear as day. “’Cause if not—”
“I’m just making conversation, Special Agent,” Hoffman cut in, no fucking manners. “If we’re to work together, we should establish a rapport, no?” And then, as if just to jab at her: “Your partner seems to agree with my line of logic there, by the way.”
