Summary
Months after the Troubador yard races, Hydra finds himself frustrated with his situation:
“I thought after racing with you and Rusty, maybe things would be different for myself and Hydrogen… Like other trains would wanna give it a try or I’d have more work.” He finally piped up. He’d done a few one off things with Momma since the races, but she was an older train and the weight of his tank was just too much for her. He couldn’t bring himself to put that kind of strain on her. “Everyone still wants to work with Porter, Lumber, and Slick. But no one seems interested in working with me. Well. Electra was but they and the components make me uncomfortable. They’re so weird! And Rusty has the coaches, especially Pearl-” Hydra’s mouth clamped shut and his eyes widened slightly. Thinking it had been one thing, but actually saying it out loud was another. He tried to recover but he knew Momma had caught what he just said.

Summary
Logically, they know there's no problem. It was Pearl who invited him over first, with a smile and a cup of tea as if she was asking them for a favour, not a date with her and her boyfriend that Hydra's been crushing on for months. They'd had this deep, organised conversation about boundaries and feelings before Rusty kissed him soundly, in a way he didn't think he would ever be kissed.
~~
It’s the morning after Hydra finally got with his crush. And his girlfriend. It’s taking a bit of time to come to terms with it.
